Good for you. You said I am in denial about problems in the black community, gave examples that I am not. I know what goes on, but I also know that the problems of a view criminally prone black Americans does not define the whole of black Americans, which I think that you can agree with as I feel that you (through your comments on other posts/threads) can understand - individuals make their own decisions, both good and bad and we should acknowledge them and hold them responsible, not an entire group, the majority of whom has nothing to do with those crimes or circumstances of those few.

A few people on here think all us black people get all sorts of "free stuff" from the government. Unfortunately, I must not be black enough since I have never been blessed with the "free stuff."

Actually no they can't anymore than I know what it was like for my ancestors to leave at the pint of Turkish guns.

Stop whining about the past. You were not taken on a ship, and you were not a slave; and for that matter you were not even a white boy mowed down by an MG42 on Omaha beech. Just stop the sniveling, sniffy, blubbery, phlegm basted bawling about what didn't happen to you.

You are not an oligarch. Though you still have a fair shot for free condoms, starchy industrial food and the occasional flu shot. Don't give up.

LOL!

I thought I could get "free stuff" just because I'm black though. All people can get free condoms from PP and lots of people get free starchy foods from WIC. I don't do flu shots but all people can get them for free too. I want specific black "free stuff"!

I'll never understand republicans on this site. They swear up and down that obama is going to lose in november and yet they keep pointing out how blacks have suffered under obama. If you are so confident that romney is going to win, than how we vote shouldnt matter, and therefore, pointing out obama's failures to black americans should be irrelevant.

Not "all". Maybe if you are on state aid you can.

I meant all different ethnicities. If I'm going to get something free for being black, I want it to be unique - only for black people! lol

Lol, wonder if that means getting a suntan risks increasing your chance of engaging in criminal activities.
