Because whites tend to chastise their scum as a community whereas the black community tends to embrace their scum and crap on the educated successful among them as traitors!

I have to agree with this. It's not color of skin, at least for me, because I have met people with dark skin with whom I don't even think about skin color. It depends on how they act. I have a different response to a dark skinned person walking up to me in a suit with a smile on his face than one with his pants around his knees, underwear showing, gold around his neck, hood on, swaggering towards me with a scowl on his face like he's the baddest thing on the earth. Totally different response.

Which has always been retarded because it evident that there are normal black people when you see

black new reporters
black politicians
black lawyers
black CEO's
black president


So because of a few GHETTO BLACKS, the whole race is painted with the same brush

I disagree. I would say Blacks have been more afraid to talk about these issues, at least publicly. The Blacks who demonize those who get an education are often the underclass. What do educated and decent Black people do? They go looking for other places to live.

My family taught me early on, to achieve and to make certain that I get my piece of the pie. I have always felt the need to excel. I've never been one to accept mediocrity.

In my opinion, low income blacks have hijacked black American culture. Many do not realize that people from around the globe watch rap & r&b and formulate negative opinions, based on the lyrics and rap videos. I really believe that if rap & r&b didn't exist in its present form, there would be far less negative stereotypes about black Americans.

Couldn't have said it better myself. Dumb, insecure, and supremely ignorant.

Blacks are discriminated against because Southern Democrats didn't want to lose power to blacks after the civil war.

Which shows that racism is not only a moral problem, it is a power issue. It is also an economic issue when you think about it. Jim Crow laws were designed to keep Blacks subjugated and poorer than Whites. Why? It was about control and power over others.

Yep, There is a reason blacks don't support having IDs for voting. Southern whites completely suppressed black voting rights after seeing blacks get elected.
