Can't say the white woman is racist now can you?
What? You went off on a very weird tangent. You know nothing of my family and who is or isn't married. Please stick to the topic at hand.

Here is the difference, if a white dude doesn't see higher education as a reality, we don't go oh that's how white men think.

His race is not even thought to be a factor in the decision. The exact opposite is assumed when a black person does anything. Their skin color is all anyone can focus on and making some kind of racial connection to their behavior.

Look, I could do better at my job, I could be a better husband, I could be a better father, a better son, a better grandson, a better older brother, a better friend, a better mentor, etc and so on.

So there isn't any human being that couldn't stand to do better in certain aspects of their life.

So what does that universal truth have to do with skin color?

There is no truth to the idea that black children think getting an education is acting white.

I have had this discussion with many other black people and not one has said, yes I know a child who thinks getting an education is acting white.

It is an urban myth spawned by the American racial narrative of black dysfunction and inferiority.

You can blame the black and white race hustlers for this,not whites in general. They have used ther blacks by keeping them victims instead of tellign them they can have a good life if they stay married and raise their kids.Most black men leave their kids,this needs to stop.

Who are you talking about? Blaming them for what? You aren't actually reading my posts and responding to the ideas presented are you? Again stick to the topic at hand.

Sure you did, but either way, your points had nothing to do with the topic at hand and were extremely illogical to boot.

What do you not understand about agreement with a very clear statement that points out the logical fallacy inherent in thinking that a part represent the whole?

Rightly or wrongly, hip hop and ghetto culture have come to define authentic African American culture for most people, especially blacks. Nobody actually thinks trailer parks define white culture.

Default First Lady Michelle Obama is God

What she represents, believes, and expresses is infinitely superior to anything Republicans/Conservatives/Neocons/tea partiers/Klan have to say on this topic.

Bigots are in no position to call others "racist."
