look I'm a black dude and I know the world is perfect but things have gotten better and I believe they will continute to improve. You have to keep in mind the black people living now were never slave nor the white people living now were slave masters. for the most part people look past color and judge a person by their actions...or at least they should..which for the most part I believe they do.

Well I guess it's up to them (Afro-Americans) to stop the hate?
But my question is why should they?
I think South Africa is the country that has suffer the most when it comes to racism and discrimination. The hate still exists and unfortunally it will never end. But honestly I hope it does end very soon.

agree completely...
Yersott. Why would Whites do it? Haven't they had 400 years + of spreading hate, warmonging, oppression and cruelty?
I mean socially look at Blacks?
They struggle to regain their identity and culture and most of the youth nowadays revere pimps, drugdealers and whores. Why because not only did Whites oppressed them physically ie castration, beheadings, burning them alive, mutilation and lynchings psychologically they have made them feel inferior and despite all of that leave the majority in the ghettos, projects and God knows where else unholy for them to rot in.
Isn't retribution for Blacks in order? I don't mean that Bill Clinton garbage about a national apology crap but retribution by physical means?
God knows caucasians are long overdue for one.
Hey I think it's great that Blacks have forgiven, but I think that they have forgotten also and when these images resurface ie through documentaries on tv or books or whatever, I am sure that some of that tension, even animosity must flare up. I mean that was a lot to endure and have done to your ancestors and for what???
That's the only point I wanted to make. That I understand when a black guy or why he might be pissed at his white counterpart, he has the right to be and those White folks who scold him for feeling that way are hypocrites and weaklings.

and under no means is a physical retribution in order. If you want this to get solved you simple pull the plug. Anyone who is willing to see this, knows this: stop the vicious circle and it will stop.
I'm not at home in the whole American thinking, but I do think that in parts of the States, every "race" (which technically doesn't exist) gets equal chances.

the thing that gets me is how a lot of my black people use the N-word if thsi world is so bad I say none body should you use....that "it's our word crap" is weak...it shouldn't be used in any form or fashion. 😠
Well Mainstream, I think a lot of them do it just to devalue the potency of that word. If you make it a common and just mundane word, it loses it's strength and effectiveness. I think that's what the idea is behind a lot of black dudes using it. Like Dave Chapelle, he makes it nonimportant and forces those who rely on it to hurt others to come up with something else.
That's my rendition of it.

If you want this to get solved you simple pull the plug. Anyone who is willing to see this, knows this: stop the vicious circle and it will stop.

I am saying this because I am ashamed that I am a descendant of folks who can be so barbaric.
If you think things are so different why are 95% of ghettos "hoods" projects overcrowded with Blacks and Hispanics. Wow what a change. So instead of castration of a black man's nuts literally, let's castrate him socially, economically and emotionally. Big changes are in the making there Yersott, big changes!!!!

I was not generalizing though. I merely stated those who ask why a Black man is angry? Have you walked a mile in his shoes, do you know?
Those are the ones I refer to as hyprocrites because they point the finger from their lofty dispositions while not knowing the whole story.

but why should most black people nowadays be that angry at white people? sure there's heritage, but i dont see any of them being herded around and sold as slaves...
they should hold a grudge for their history even if nothing of the sort has personally happened to them?

I dont get your point LF? A black person has no reason to be angry at me because i'm white. I didnt do anything to them.
Not you personally. But can you understand that if you met a Black man who lashed out at you and was angry at you, maybe it's misdirected anger but they have cause to be. Because of what you represent to him, in his eyes. He associates you and your ancestors as oprressors to his ancestors. That's my point.
I constantly hear my friends say "Why are Blacks so pissed?"
I can't even answer them because just the question itself reflects their true ignorance.
