Where are you this time Al Sharpton?

Blacks are very intelligent and bright, but when you dont control a big portion of wealth then it does not matter, the playing feild is not leveled so dynomite and whoever else agrees with him should stop crying about somthing they dont know about. All you know is what you see on the news and nothing more, this makes you a tool. No one made blacks smoke crack but the fact of the matter is that it was pumped in there neighborhoods and even though I was not alive dosent mean I dont know about it. I wont forget it because it is a part of my history. Your a fool to even say I should forget what many blacks did to better there people. America is concearned about other things then helping african americans better them selfs. We started out in the gutter so how is it that we should be happy with where we are. Education helps but still the color of your skin goes a long way even in 2009. You dont know because you have no clue, your on the outside looking in. Any Black men that has acheived a great deal of succes has had to work twice as hard to get there. You obveously need to be more educated and get to know god, but you keep talking about what you think you know.

What's racism?

Are you seriously saying that every black person is intelligent and bright? Do you really have the audacity to say that?

What flack would I catch if I said "whites are very intelligent and bright." - I know that's retarded and complete BS. I've had many arguments with people of all different races; there's idiots all over the world.

Talk about racism, wholly crap, your statement is the definition of it.

Any Black men that has acheived a great deal of succes has had to work twice as hard to get there.

That is complete horse poo. This isn't the 60's anymore. I'm not saying that racism doesn't exist in the working world, but making a blanket statement like that is absurd.

You do know that Young black women and men are among the highest sought after in the restaurant industry and I am sure a few others right? As for the drug issue, I don't know much about it, but White people, chinese people, black people, whatever people all do drugs. To me it is about self control and wanting to better yourself. I think if the people wanted it bad enough they would stay away from the drugs ,pursue education, and be a business man. Fact is, the money is quick, easy, and good for that kind of stuff... so they never want to better themselves. This goes for any race.

You are right. The playing field is not level. I was not offered a scholarship. I joined the Marines and went to school using the GI Bill. Not all white people are rich. And it is a fact that there is millions of scholarships out specifically there for black people. No excuses man, you have to make it yourself because no one else is going to do it for you.

All you know is what you see on the news and nothing more, this makes you a tool.

Like I said above I served in the Marines where the only color that matters is green. I have depended on black people, asian people, mexican people and any other race with my life. Once again you have made an incredibly ignorant statement.

No one made blacks smoke crack but the fact of the matter is that it was pumped in there neighborhoods and even though I was not alive dosent mean I dont know about it.

So we are in agreement that you have no point. no one made black people smoke crack lol.

I wont forget it because it is a part of my history. Your a fool to even say I should forget what many blacks did to better there people.

I did not say forget, I said you need to move on. Quit focusing on people trying to make you smoke crack and start focusing on work or school.

America is concearned about other things then helping african americans better them selfs.

literaly millions and millions of dollars of scholarship money devoted specifically towards blacks. No excuses man.

We started out in the gutter so how is it that we should be happy with where we are. Education helps but still the color of your skin goes a long way even in 2009.

If this is how you feel then you are racist. The color of skin doesnt matter to me obviously it does to you because you just stated that. What matters to me is a persons personality. If they are an ashole I will treat them like an ashole no matter what their skin color is.

You dont know because you have no clue, your on the outside looking in. Any Black men that has acheived a great deal of succes has had to work twice as hard to get there.

This is so ignorant it is unbelievable. You know how hard I have worked? I have sent myself through school. No scholarship here man. I made my own life. I dont ask people to feel sorry for me either, I am proud of being self made.

You obveously need to be more educated and get to know god, but you keep talking about what you think you know.

no response necessary.

I think this whole thread started on the right track but has totally derailed..

agreed, I think this thread is heading in the wrong direction. A great deal of generalizations being thrown about as facts, which is so silly

 

[Zero V]

I think great men like Martin Luther King, were doing what was right and had an amazing vision.....Then there were idiots like Don King who ruined a once noble dream. Every gangster wannabe with his pants at half mass might as well be pissing on Martin Luther Kings face. That is IMO though.

The real gangsters died out with the last of the true mobsters. Today, we only got posers.

I believe in equality. Which is why I believe Americans need to stop having "black pride" crap. Where is my white pride day?

 

[raginfcktard]

take into account who controls the media...everything is a-ok by them

 

[NattyT]

Fact of the matter is this, I know because I live it and have exsperienced it, I will not continue to go back and forth with people that know probally a hand full of blacks on a pearsonal level when Im surronded by my people every day. I deal with all races and love all because thats what I am commanded to do. When things are truly fair and even then we will move on. I dont realy care what you say dynomite because you still dont know what your talking about, you going to the marines and everything else you say is pointless to this conversation. Your not black, and have not been treated as if you were. I didn say that all whites are racist, but
rascism is very much alive, just because were not getting linched and hung anymore dosent mean its not still in efect. And Irish Cannon, im not saying that All blacks are smart and intelegent, but a lot are. As well as other races. You fellas seem like you have a chip on your sholders. Yall are the ones saying what Blacks need to do and need to stop doing to get ahead in life, how dare you speak on the behalf of a people that you realy dont understand, not all blacks are crying For help and hand outs. You and your homie Chris Rock stay fly holla homeboy.

natty, we are not the ones with chips on our shoulders. I am stating that you need to get rid of the chip on your shoulder. Stop making excuses and do what you have to do to be succesful because the only one that can hold you back is you.

You make yet another ignorant statement saying that I know only a handful of blacks. I will once again say that the Marines is a very diverse organization (I can hear the response now, "all Marines are white"). I now work for a construction company, a very diverse company. I am very exposed to all races. On the other hand you state you are surrounded by "your people all day". This statement literaly proves why you are ignorant to other races. You need to get out more and realize that the world has changed since 1969 or whatever year you are describing in your posts. You can do whatever you put your mind to. If you chose to just complain and not do ****, you need to know that the race card is expiring.

I recommend you read up on Booker T. Washington and what he stood for becaused he was speaking out against your point of view almost 200 years ago. Also read up on Martin Luther King. He did not advocate endless complaining. He wanted blacks to step up make something of themselves. Not smoke crack and complain or whatever it is that you think black people do.

Well Said:wave2:

I myself do believe that white people have it the worst, someone is always quick to call them a racist and other names. BTW I am hispanic

 

[Mick81]

Whats the deal with the whole "African American" label? Were either you or your parents born in Africa? That's like me calling myself a Scottish/Irish Australian! Hell, so far, common theory is that ALL of us came from Africa originally, so why aren't we all African American/English/Australian?

How about just being proud of where you're from, instead of finding another way to create divisions? None of us should ever blame anyone else for our misfortunes in life, it's up to you to change s**t if you don't like it.
