Looks like I'm about done..We've moved to rap.

I've seen many women hold their purse harder or move it to the other side when I walked by them. Interesting, since I'm a engineer (worked during school to pay for it).

How many people have experienced that?
again, no one said there is no racism. white people are just saying we experience racism as well. p.s. as an engineer did you calibrate the amount of force she was putting on her purse thus reading her mind that she was deathly afraid of you stealing it. also, did you follow her around for any length of time to see how she reacted around white men of your same age and stature.

WHy, because it gives qualified black coaches a chance and they succeed or because they take jobs from unqualified white coaches.

The simple fact that blacks have to work harder is enough. We ALL work, fight for our country and are victims of crime but we ALL still aren't viewed as equal.

you've give no specific examples.

Nope. Nope. Racism sucks no matter who is at the receiving end.

I'm glad you bring that up,
why did McCain pick Palin (about the most ignorant person I've seen?)
why didn't he pick Condolezza Rice who is 1000 times more qualified?

I'm not going to sit here and list every occupation in America. You need to work on your reading comprehension. Racism is much larger than listing a hundred little examples. I gave you one specific example that pretty much covers everything. Use your imagination.

i wish he would have picked rice. palin is an idiot. who knows, maybe he asked her and she wasn't interested. maybe he would have won had ran with rice instead. we'll never know.

answer me this. why must obama's senate seat go to a black person?

You just weren't tough enough. Accept it.

Trust me it was not the same environment. These kids were off the hook. MY first week there a black counselor was stabbed. When I asked why. She didn't give a black girl enough attention. Boys were raping boys. It was a bit deeper than you would understand. These were kids who put hard core felons to shame. As far as your comparison, Please. Getting white kids at a school to tolerate you and maybe even like you are two totally different things. I think you missed my point entirely. Or maybe you didn't and you just wanted to annoy me and minimize your understanding of my situation. Either way, who cares.

really. what, the rooney rule? 99.9999% of people in america have know involvement in pro football. that example has no relevance. thats like me saying, why aren't there more white point guards in the nba.
