The long arc of history has a way of sorting it all out. It may be unfathomable right now to some people who are riding high and feeling cocky enough to put others in their place, but alpha nations fall, dominant groups can fall. It might not happen in our silly little insignificant lifetimes, but life will go on for a long time after we all kiss the dust. Peace out!

i know what a hood rat was in the 1990s. you think we want revenge, because you know we have been wronged and if you were in our shoes you would want revenge. there are absolutely no statistics to that show that whites are discriminated by race in this country, yet only a generation away from the civil rights era you have whites, particularly men, screaming that they are now a persecuted minority. it's a joke. black people just want the same rights and opportunities as everyone else. we just want to take care of our families and live the american dream.

But, wait, I suppose all this is whitey's fault, right?
would you also describe the white on white murder rate as astronomical? of course not. do you realize the difference between unwed mothers and single mothers. doesn't seem like it. the unemployment rate. when you have employers more likely to call white ex cons than black men with no records, what do you expect. there are numerous studies regarding black employment issues. and the fact that none of this is acknowledged by white people, in a white majority country is, in fact, "whitey's" fault. when these topics are discussed they are approached with ignorance like your post above.

My neighbors across the street are black, and two houses down black, My black neighbors are some of the nicest in my hood, and have the prettiest, most well kept houses on my street. I would not think twice about anyone black moving next door, across the street. First, they are already there, and were there when I bought my house, Second, I am not race-obsessed like you are or a tiny fraction of paranoid/racist whites are . Third - if present trends continue, if black folks moved here, their houses would be nicer, and they would be friendlier, than my white neighbors.......but......fourth, if black (or white, or yellow, or green) folks moved in, and were trashy, rude, nasty, unsavory, drug addicts - I would hate them and would want them to move or I would - Yes, even if they were black, but not cuz they were black (or white/yellow/green). I just don't want "trash" or unsavory folks, living near me - it's that simple.

That's like saying that the PROBLEM with the American prison system is that blacks are the overwhelming race in American prisons. Is that the problem or is the problem that blacks commit more crimes?

80% of black children are born to single mothers. Is that the problem? Or is the problem that the culture in the hood is that it's OK to have multiple children from multiple fathers and never get married?

Black pride
Brown pride
Native pride
Asian pride


All okay. So I feel it's only right I have white pride.
Uh; "brown" ain't a race. It's quite possible for a Black dude, a "Hispanic", an American Indian or Asian as well as an anglo white person to have the EXACT same light brown color skin that does NOT see sun.

Deny, deny, deny. This is black folks biggest problem. How come Asians, Hispanics and Middle Eastern people have adapted well in our countey...yet many AAs still cannot? I work witha woman from Africa. She always shakes her head at the hood rat mentaility and cannot understand for the life of her why all AAs cannot adapt to our society and stop the victim game. Shes very smart, articulate and motivated to work hard. She is married and is a loving mother. We exchange gifts every hear for Christmas.

it's not agout color, its about charachter. Everyone knows this.

Have your feelings on the macro state of race relations in the US impacted your more personal dealings with people of another race?
Obama has clearly fanned the flames of racism. Other than that, the people I deal with on a day to day basis are no different than they ever have been.
