Classic animal discrimination.

Dogs and cats are good animals and they deserve to be treated equally just like chicken.

You think they are eating them? They are killing them and taking their tusks or coats and leaving the meat to rot.

What they are eating is free food the UN is flying in.

To you idiots drug dealers wouldn't be selling drugs if there wouldn't be a demand for it.

While your primary concern is black and Latino men selling drugs they obviously see an opportunity for MONEY to be made.
Yes of course, the people in Africa do not have the ability to make good decisions right? It's because the evil white man wants to buy these things right?

When are you going to stop treating the African like a child and expect him to be responsible for his own actions?

Go to Africa and see for yourself. In Africa, it's called bushmeat. They kill and eat just about anything alive.

The food UN flew in are mostly sold for cash by the local warlords.

Life doesn't work that way. Sorry.
The point of the story wasn't about entitlement or arrogance though. The dad is a administrative partner in a law firm, he's a super lawyer, he specializes in international banking and investment. Yes, the family is super wealthy. They get along fine in their office environment, their neighborhood, their clubs and entertainment venues. The problem lies with random incidents at airports and so on. While I'm not sure how much is rudeness and how much is racism, I have no doubt that the racism does happen. Anyway, they aren't saying they should be immune, they are just pointing out it's still there.

The only people that say there's no more racism in the US are white people. Even Asians face racism on a daily basis too

You made it all about the evil white man, not me SOOOOOO if the shoe fits then wear it.

I said there wouldn't be a demand for drugs if people weren't buying them. This has absolutely nothing to with evil white men.

It's great to see where your thoughts are my dear.

I agree 100%.

As long as one keeps their lawn mowed and uses their turn signal indicator, we're good. I don't care what your race is, who you pray to or what your orientation is.

But don't tell me about your problems.....heck I don't even like hearing about my spouse's problems, why would i want to hear about anyone else's??
