Not sure what you're saying........but I am made to feel guilty any time somebody black commits a crime, is accused of committing a crime, or is thought that he may commit a crime. Black males are demonized on a daily basis for simply existing. The examples are too numerous to name. Just look through this forum for confirmation.
I agree with you, but honestly I cannot imagine being another race. If people want to judge me without knowing anything about me, oh well.
Do you have a reason why this is important? How many non-Blacks work at Jet and Ebony? Lots.
In a country as racially diverse as the U.S, any magazine that caters only to one specific race is racist.

Just because the signs are not there doesn't mean I am welcome. Your example holds no weight.
My example does hold weight, because if you enter any barbershop where the owner is White I doubt very much that he would tell you "Hey boy we don't serve your kind here, so leave now".

So White people specifically blame you personally for the high murder rate in Compton, Detroit, New Orleans, St. Louis, etc ?

Why do so many of your post scream of animosity towards blacks?

That would mean the majority of magazines are racist, because most cater to whites.

No, he'd tell me he just didn't know how to cut my hair as his patrons stared me down. It's happened.

Make some sense, will you? Many Whites do consider people like me dangerous and a general drag on their society.
I know that, hermano, but sometimes they try to bring the issue of admixture up as if African Americans are pure Senegalese and Dominicans, even if they have a similar look, are only touched by the African gene......On more than one occasion when I said I admired certain baseball players (Clemente, Marichal, Cuellar, Perez, Oliva), because we shared ancestry, I was told that they were not black but Latin and mixed. Well, I am black and Latin and mixed, but since I am from America and have a gringo name, there is somehow some difference? I don't think so. People tend to think that if you have a Spanish surname, you can't be a descendant of Africans. This is what I have a problem with.
Ok. I understand now.
Its more a subjective ignorance of certain people that annoys you.
I get that. Does seem as if one does not fit a stereotypical mold , then one cannot possibly have a certain bloodline.
Eh, I just chalk it up to people wanting to believe what they choose, regardless of the facts.
So it is government and corporate "thugs" who are responsible for the extremely high murder rate in cities like Detroit, New Orleans, Compton, Oakland, etc ?
Indirectly yes.
And.
They are directly behind the pointless wars and incitement of terrorist attacks.
What's interesting about the poll results and the following posts is that only WM/AW and BM/WW seem to be the face of IR in America. I guess America ain't as diverse as often claimed...
And why isn't Golem1979's comments being deleted? His latest comments have nothing to do with the topic at hand.:/

LOL, thanks for pointing out his hypocrisy.
And Golem1979, how would you feel if people starting going off on Anti-Semitic rants, seeing as you are Jewish?
