I'll get it when white people who claim they had nothing to do with slavery or were Irish who were just as badly discriminated against (LOL) stop running away when they see black people walking in their direction.

I haven't robbed or beaten or caused inner-city crime or taken welfare benefits or flash-mobbed anyone, so don't be scared of me and don't hate on me.

Now its Obama is being bias in favor of black people. Make up your minds people. I swear some of you guys are ridiculous.

I'd say there's about what 3 or 4 race threads created everyday about stupid stuff. I'm black and I have yet to see any special rights or privileges from it other than people thinking I can ball, or that I'm fast, or that they think I can sing. Oy vey.
So totally agree with this post. Very well said.

If anything this whole forum makes me feel bad for regular white people and want to give you some special privileges, the privilege of not being so scared and ignorant about your fellow citizens.

I also have never received any special privleges based on race. There is nothing in this country that is only for black people in regards to social programs. You people (and I said you people!) are really delusional and I feel so sorry for you if this is truly what you think and it is not just some way to spout craziness from anonymity.

It's not bigotry. I feel sorry for you since it's apparent you cannot handle the truth and prefer to blame others instead of the ones that are really to blame. That's the major problem - blame everyone and everything instead of accepting the blame. It's crystal clear if you'll be honest with yourself and open your eyes and mind. I know you already know this, but you refuse to accept it and openly admit it. That must come first. Few have the fortitude to do it. Those that do - advance forward. Those that don't just add to the problem...

Yet in the end, where is it better for Blacks to live - in a majority White country or a majority Black one?

If Black people in the USA are treated so badly, why are they not living in one of those great African civilizations like Haiti or the Congo? You would think they would want to go live with their own and they could live in peace and prosperity, right?

What is this "truth" of which you speak?

What should I be accepting the blame for?

Why do I get the sneaking suspicion that you're a Nazi import from Stormfront? You keep hitting that "White country" boilerplate.

Isn't stereotyping the problem? Yet here you are, yet again, making those darned assumptions.

One more time - running away when they see black people walking in my direction? THAT WASN'T ME.

As for "claiming" I had nothing to do with slavery? That's not a claim. That's a FACT. Neither did my ancestors, since we were yankees. But can you be sure that YOUR ancestors are innocent? Who do you think sold the slaves in Africa?
