Of course, and the same for most occupations and positions I have held. It is a common and sometimes incorrect point of view.

I believe that is a great outlook to have.

Not me. I've never been asked why a white person did something.

The Black and Brown and white has been going for years in Liberty City. However being in the middle of these actions I do got to say the Black Thugs cause more problems.


Put it this way, after Hurricane Andrew, Black Thugs were looting while Latin's were helping out and cooking for their communities.


Everyone should reflect on how to make South Florida a better place, than resorting to violence on a day of peace, remembering Dr. King.

Well, there are successful white people despite AA's existence. So why are white folks complaining about how quotas and preferences are screwing them over?
I'm not the one complaining about anybody keeping me down.

Thinking like yours is the exact reason why the black community is in chaos. But, not only the blacks, but all races. The world is in complete chaos. You say it's always been that way? Guess what, after sin entered the world by Adam and Eve, chaos was the curse -- but further rebellion against the God of the Bible begets more chaos.

Atlanta is pathetic and full of black crime; turn on the local news every night. 99% of crime is from blacks.

I grew up below the poverty line in Texas, so I learned quite a bit of Spanish and was often the group Wedo. It's not uncommon for a question to be posed, "why do white people...", the time I spent on Indian reservations was similar other than they preferred the term "peckerwood" and were less likely to be friendly about it. The mist common instance of this was in college. It was a very popular line /often joke, among my black friends.

This extended to professions and other groups I was known to be a part of, "why do mechanics always...." , " why do you roughnecks ...." , etc. Etc.

It is rarely ever meant to be insulting and nearly always posed by a close acquaintance or friend.
I've never thought it was out if the norm to ask someone who is assumed to be a part of any group about said group, even though the connection can be mistaken.
