Anonymous Coward User ID: 1364318 United States 02/19/2012 06:04 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Black folks are ashamed of being black. Which is why they try their best to hook up with white women or any other race because they won't accept the fact that their asses was born black and they are gonna die black. Get over it! it is what it is! Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1031229 And IF that were the case, why are they ashamed of being black? It's easy to spew stupidity and ignorance while taking subtle shots, but try to find the root of their self-hatred. Dig into the history of West Africans who were forced into slavery and spread across the globe. See how they contributed to the foundation of America and got nothing in return. I won't even get into the violence and psychological abuse these Africans endured. Let's move into the 60's-80s where black people were mistreated and disrespected day in and day out. Homes burned, churches burned, kids killed, black teen boys disappearing only to be found lynched in the woods. Now the 80s, the imports of drugs and guns and the lust for material wants are a bad mix. Where were these energies being directed? To poor black teens surrounded by guns and drugsin poor neighborhoods. What's left to do? Your family doesn't have shit. Your father was kicked out because that would be only way your "household" could qualify for government benefits. So now you have no direction from a male figure, your mother is never home, Your white school teachers couldn't give two shits if you learned or not. So what to do? Sell the drugs that were brought into your neighborhood. Start adding things up buddy. There's a reason little black girls are picking white dolls instead of black dolls when it comes to preference. Do you research and learn about the people you are talking shit about before you speak again. You brought yourselves here. You choose the drugs, you choose to impregnate a woman and leave her to raise the babies alone. You choose that being cool is more important than being smart. You choose to praize da lor', rather than helping your own cause. You are forcing yourselves on us. Noone forced YOU to be here. Instead of looking at the relatively small period of time when others enslaved Africans, concentrate on the hundreds and thousands of centuries before that, where blacks fought, enslaved and ate eachother. Thats is where the true root of your plight lies. So see it from the other side for once. Wow stereotype much. Everything you said has been done by all races throughout history. Shit man even Jesus was a bastard.lol! I know it is difficult to understand for you. It is not the individual that makes a society work, it is how a mass of individuals come together collectively in their average. The most important factors in determing a societies level of civilization are culture, intellect, temperament, responsibilty, empathy and creativity. Why would an intelligent person choose to pay 500% more for a house for instance just because the people in that area have a different skin color? They wouldn't. They would, however, use the collective content of character of the average indivudual in that area as a reason. |

They have taken over our whole American Culture. Football, television. Can hardly watch a commercial these days that isn't slanted totally in their direction, a white guy here or there. White chicks think it's cool to date a black guy. If they were never born Slaves then they need to shut up. They got enough recognition to have one of them elected President. Sounds to me like they have made some achievements. If they were still in Afica would they have come so far? Can't think of any great technology out of Africa lately. They aren't the ones with enough money to help feed other starving countries. The blacks in this country are so oppressed, Wah! It's easy to find something worth dying for. Do you have anything worth living for? |

Freedom of speech is a human right. Even the freedom of speech of a racist. Especially the freedom of speech of a racist. We are fools to let any government pass a law which attempts to take this away. No man or man's law can take away our right to feel, think & SAY what we hold to be true. Any law that attempts to do this is a CRIME. I am amazed by how many people in the UK fail to understand this. |

Just about every race was some sort of slave at one time or another. The world is built upon each of these races of slaves like a pyramid. Americas slaves are just fresh in our memory, so they stand out more in our minds. Yes, but you must include racism in the argument. Racial supremacy, as is displayed in many comments on this thread, is what caused the disarray of the black descendants since slavery in America. We need to concentrate on providing more freedom and less government redistribution to the poor, creating dependence, and corporations, which kills small businesses. Blacks are in disarray everywhere and anywhere they are in the world; Nothing to do with white people, but only their own short comings, *cough*lowIQ*cough* |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 11103255 Blacks want to be referred to as "African American" while still referring to us as "Whitey", yet when a child that knows nothing of geography or world continents innocently asks another child if he is brown because he is from Africa, the racist shit bag parent immediately accuses the innocent child of racism? Can you BLACKS see wherein you create racism where it didn't even exist? BLACKS have created Black History Month, Black Magazines, Black Colleges, Black Entertainment Television, Black Music, yet we aren't permitted to point out their color difference, nor are we permitted to have all-White colleges, White History Month, etc. Who are the real racists here? Are you BLACKS hearing me? . You should refrain from speaking about things that you don't understand To add: all those things that your sooo upset over black history month,BET, etc.. Is like giving a band aide for cancer. We live in a system built on institutionalized racism. Do you know that we base prison sizes for the future on 3rd grader test scores from low income communities. If we put a third of that money toward improving the schools we wouldn't need those prisons in the first place. But that is not what is in the cards and don't for a second believe that it is not intentional because it is. It's easy to sit on the outside and judge away. After all that is what the system wants. Keep us distracted with blaming the poor for our problems while the real criminals sit in their mansions laughing all the way to the bank while throwing you just enough bread crumbs so that you don't start asking the real questions. You sound like a college brain washed marxist. So deluded. |
