If she doesn't get the scholarship she applies for, I'm going to start SCREAMING racism, and hire a lawyer!

Good luck brother.

You're wrong about that, sorry.

Stop blaming racism on the Europeans.

Why? Whites didn't invent segregation, Jim Crow, the KKK, the Nazis, etc? It wasn't black folk who decided if a person was 1% African and 99% European, he was a "Negro." Come on now........

Hey - this is a thread about racism. You want to talk racism or not?

I would have had no idea you are black, had you not stated it. And now that you've made your own race clear, you expect people to not talk about racism - or call you out on your own racial prejudices - or make light of absurd statements you make?


So... Is Obama white, or black, or mixed, or what?

Okay, thanks for the clarification.

It's only Europeans who are racists, and there are no blacks who are racists - or Asians or Hispanics. Only whites.

Thank you for making that point.

He's a black man. First black President of the United States.

But, as we can see on this thread, his election has not eliminated racism from this society. It's actually brought it out in the open more, thanks to those who are hating on Obama because of who he is. If Obama were so white, why have the racists come out of the woodwork in response to his election?
