A friend of mine posed an interesting question. Imagine if a machine existed which allowed you to change your racial makeup and/or gender. I am guessing that over 90 percent of black people would chane their race, while probably less than 2 percent of whites would.
This speaks volumes, because one can clearly see that there are substantial benefits attributed to being white. Despite so called affirmative action programs which supposively benefit minorities, most would still prefer to just be white. I'm a black woman, and if given the opportunity, I'd want to become a white man, for obvious reasons (I.e., being viewed as an individual, white privilege, and to garner the ultimate respect that white men are given throughout the world). LoL I'm however willing to bet that no white man would want to become a black woman.
I love being a black man. The experience can be challenging at times but I'm a survivor.
Yep. Even as challenging as it can be at times, I'm still convinced that its the best and worst of both worlds....but the good definitely outweighs the bad by a long shot. I can't articulate it for some reason, but being a black man (when you're successful) is just incredible. Especially when you go or live abroad. Lived abroad for 13 years and it definitely had its benefits.
I would like to become hermaphrodite and have green skin to make liberals happy.
At this stage in life I don't have to please anyone of any race, political persuasion or anything else to like me. I can respect all people who are respectable and keep it moving.

Eddie Murphy already did something very similar to that decades ago:

Your foolish statement "this speaks volumes" regarding your "guessing" is ridiculous to the max. With all due respect.
