And when they do it barefoot, that's like a twofer. I had some dudes I knew in college that did that all the time.

I'm white, but I would not accept any such invitation, either. I'd rather go deaf than listen to country music If I were black, I would feel like you were trying to whiten me

There are MANY country AA's. What you see in large cities is people who moved there many years ago for jobs in big cities, and then the families/descendents stayed there. If you go to the south, you will see many, many AA folks who are country people, liviing side by side with other country people, and they have similar interests and beliefs. Most of these folks are socially conservative, church-going, interested in cars, trucks, fishing, hunting. 4 wheeling, cattle/horse raising, etc. just the same as country/rural white folks.

Here is one of the biggest reasons why we cannot move beyond racism in the country.

BOTH, blacks and whites keep pointing the finger at each other. No one seems to even want to see each others perspective.

Not to mention, I can say I am around more blacks than you ever will be............I don't hear blacks making remarks like the ones you claim blacks make.

You probably(like many whites) get EVERYTHING you know about blacks from TV. Therefore you see all of the "FEAR" tactics that media uses to keep drama between blacks and whites.

Try actually interacting with blacks. NO, I don't mean your 'hardworking black coworker that you respect"( whites love saying that).

I mean get involved with blacks and you'll find out very fast, MOST blacks don't go through life yelling racism every opportunity they get.

Give it a break.........that argument is sooooooo tired.

Most people responding to this thread haven't spent 30 minutes around urban blacks, let alone lived with them. I speak from experience, you can't raise kids amongst urban blacks, if you want the best for your children
