Why, oh, why, do you continually blame whites for everything?

Again, why must it always be "you" against "us"? Why is there a "you" and "us" nowadays anyway? "You" expect whites to not have any predjudice against "you", yet "you" apparently have full blown predjudices against "us" but that's okay? "you" wonder why whites have an attitude?

I don't see any reason for this thread to be closed. Why should it? I only see peaceful discussions being made.

I know blacks who did not vote for Obummer. They saw through him too.

If you will only revert back to the "natural order" of things, we will make life so easy for you that complicated issues such as voting and politics will be lifted from your shoulders.

We have always shared a history of common associations, let's go back to the days of intact Black Families, such things as poverty, slums, petty service positions, are historically inflated. There were plenty of Black business owners, we gave plenty of business to the shoe shine stands and independent clothes washers, hell we even went to some of your juke joints.

So Black People, let's become united again, let's become a family again, let's get back to the "Natural Way" again.

In Pateranal Admiration,
Your Republicans,Conservative Friends.
What a hateful post.

Finally it's very troubling that black posters on here are so focused on whites that they could care less how Obama's policies affect many black people. Evidently their paramount aim is getting back at whitey but there is a problem with this tactic. Many Hispanics aspire to be white and folks of African descent in Latin America aren't exactly living la Vida Loca.

Educated blacks will be denied employment, assistance will be cut and theyll want us to work those low wage jobs. It's twice as many black women in school over black men, these women aren't going to settle for a low wage black man and would rather be alone than date down.

Look around you, see all the drug dealers risking life for money? Crime? It's all for money, real money not minimum wage jobs.

Black teenagers have a negative image. Regardless and that's why they're not hired, nothing to do with illegals at all.
So are you condoning drug dealing as a viable job???

If the o.p.'s IQ were even half as high as mine he would see that the best hope, going forward, for the demographic of lower middle class white people, is a continuation of the stand off between Obama and a Republican Congress. The combination of Romney and a Republican Congress will finish the lower middle class and put the rest of the middle class on life support in eight years.

Romney already wants those of us with a home and career to let "housing hit rock bottom" since we are not the 1%.


He may as well be saying "let the peasants eat cake"...and we are ALL peasants compared to Romney. The divide and conquer garbage will not work in this economy, people of all races and economic levels are adversely affected, and the GOP wants it this way.

Now tell me how having 800,000 people that don't belong here taking American jobs could possibly be good for this country. Not just black people but for all Americans.

Also that is not the norm with the black culture so please spare us. If it was there would not be so many blacks in prison.

You are the perfect example of how not to end up in the ghetto. Raised from 2 parents and told how important education was. You were pushed to do better and work hard.

Yet you look the other way as to what is happening in the black inner city ghettos. Are you turning your back on your own people?
Here is the rub. Why aren't you calling out white people that live in trailer parks, strung out on oxy or meth? Why aren't calling out white Americans that live in places like some countries in Kentucky and West Virginia were barely half the population has a high school diploma. Now granted, I'm not saying that there are not problems among poor black Americans but the fact you are busy pointing out the ills of poor black Americans without giving any attention at all to the problems and issues of poor white Americans completely delegitamizes your post. You have no particular interest in black Americans one way or another.

By the way are you turning your back on your own people, by not taking their shortcomings to task?

You see I believe in people, each and everyone can do something to help themselves. You seem to think these people have to have the hrlp of the gov.

The more help we give the people from the gov the more time we are wasting. The gov can't help these people.

Look at the school system in the inner cities all run by black people and 90% of them suck. They get plenty of money but yet the schools suck.

Please explain why it seems that all the hellhole cities are mostly black and run bye Blacks. Hell look at Katrina talking about being totaly helpless. I saw on tv and felt bed. But I felt bad because I realized just how dumb people really are. They didn't have enough sense to get the heck out. And the black mayor did nothing to help those people and had a lot full of busses that flooded. LOL Yeap the black guy really helped his fellow blacks there.

Now do you want a truthfull conversation? Or do you want to blame whitey and call me a racist?

Can you explain to me why some of the poorest counties in America are inhabited by white Americans who can't seem to educate themselves or progress much beyond living in country shacks or trailers, getting strung out on meth and think that having sex with any blood relative is socially acceptable?

If want to look at school systems that suck then these are great examples.

I personally see a loss of black political and economical clout due to this influx in the future. In cities like Atlanta there is a push by nonblack minorities to extract more government contracts, jobs etc. These jobs directly lead to the creation to much of the Black middle class there.
Its like cutting your nose to spite your face. Some blacks hate republicans so much that they don't see how this will affect blacks in the future,even though the op should have included everyone,not just blacks. But the truth is it does have a greater impact on blacks than any thother group.
I'm not even Republican,but I at least listen to the message.

Eveyone on here acts like all these illegals are just law abiding citizens who want to work and pay taxes.
I am willing to bet there will be marked increases in crime.

I'm also trying to figure out where and how did this love affair between blacks for hispanics began.
I haven't seen any hispanics stand up for black causes,never(ok,except Puerto Ricans but that's it)
I bet many don't seem to realize tha in Texas in the 1800's and early 1900's Mexicans lynched blacks too.

Most blacks I know do complain about illegals. They tell me that if there was a sign saying"employment opportunites" and the boss was hispanic,they didn't get the job and that the only people that seemed to get hired were hispanics. I guess blacks should really look at Los Angeles and California. Why are blacks leaving Cali in droves?

I'm betting you are right.

I didn't know there was a "love affair" between blacks and Hispanics! I thought that was what a lot of gang wars was about.

Thats fair. Well here's why.

I live outside of Detroit. If I lived in those areas I would for sure be on those scumbag losers. But you see I live next to the worst city in this country. I live near and work in Detroit. I see everyday what the blacks have done to themselves and others. I am not talking about whats on the news. I work in the neighborhoods.


I have been shot at 4 times. I have been surounded with the hoodrats all around my truck. I have run them over. I have had the hoodrats trying to steal things out of my truck. I have entered empty forclosed homes only to find the drugheads in there doing who knows what.


So you see this is what I see. This is my life that I have to live everyday. I am so tired of seeing little black inner city kids getting killed from stray bullets. I just kills me to see a life that never had a chance. To see kids raised in filth and poverty all around. They have no chance.


I have family like you posted. I invited them to my wedding and rehearsal dinner. At the dinner the night before they were pocketing food in thier jackets to take with them. LOL Its was funny but it was embarassing as hell. These very same people came to my wedding and they (8) all signed one card and put 10$ in it. LOL $78 per plate including the open bar. Yes they are whitetrash. These very same people live just like the blacks in the inner city. They always complain about something and someone. You the difference is I don't make excuses for them, I call them whitetrash I call them useless and nothing but anchors on society. I don't want them to breed either.

But I exiled that side of the family. I do not have anything t do with them. I call them idiots and they still call and want to get money from me since now I have my own business. Nevermind I am not swimming in money.

LOL So yes the whitetrash has less effect on me besides sucking up my money. But the black hoodrats that I must deal with and defend myself from those people. I don't want to need 2 guns but thats what I must do. Thanks to Michigan laws I can carry openly.

They flip flop at every issue. Sheep-like.

Not me W was way way wrong on that issue nothing but pandering for votes. Tell that to the inner city kids of Detroit that would love to earn extra money. That would be a huge help to thier families. Or my younger cousins that are off for the summer and can't find any work at all. That makes them take out even more in loans

There's a flip-side to that coin, I work in a primarily white state, and my job - I deal with criminals all day, and they are mostly, wait for it... white. Now I know that blows the mind of most C-D posters because we all know here, on this site, White people don't commit crimes. For every story that posters here pick off of the internet involving Black people, I can tell you a story from last week involving White people that I've seen with my own eyes. Soooo, here we are.

Maybe this will all fall back on the regular C-D mantra,
White person commits crime = it's just that one guy, he's crazy throw him in jail.
Black person commits crime = THIS IS A COMPLETE ILLUSTRATION OF THE ENTIRE FAILURE OF THE BLACK COMMUNITY, OMG!

If you don't like it here, at least you're free to leave. I hear Canada is great, certainly a lot more liberal than the US.
