I've never understood why, tell me please.

Punk,
You're acting like slavery still exists. If you were at all enlightened yourself, you'd realize that minorities are more likely to be promoted, receive a scholarship, or make internship here in the United States than whitey.
It's much harder for a white man trying to go through college than it is for a black man. I'm not being racist, it's the truth. I had a 4.0 GPA in high school and missed getting in the college of my dreams when a black man with a 3.7GPA was chosen instead. What's wrong with this picture? Ame5b4rica has went from 'Land of the Free' to, 'LAnd of the Politically Correct'. The 'N' word isn't a good word altogether, but it's time the black community shut up and get on with their lives - stop inciting racial bigotry among themselves and their churches - and griping about 'whitey' doing the same thing. Stop pointing the finger at everyone else and start in the homes of black families and black communities.
The blame game is easy. I know that throughout American history, there's been times and mistakes we've made and slavery is one of them, but continuing to blame every white man one sees for their crappy life is no different than if the Jews were still griping at Germany for what Hitler did over 70 years ago.

Punk,
You sir, are a first class idiot bigot. No, racism has not vanished. It can't die because people like you won't let it die. You have a black man who could one day be President of the United States, so your argument that black people have the cards stacked against them in the silliest thing I've ever heard. You've obviously never been in the back hollows of rural America where the people are 95% white. Where's there chances? Where's there dental plans? Education? Everytime they go into town they're looked at as if they're subhuman. Do they complain? So, don't give me that s hit on unequal opportunity.
People like you is why people like Al Sharpton even get air time. They're no different than the David Dukes of the world and their certainly do different than you.
You, sir, are far behind the times. I'd almost guarantee you that you're not thirty yet. You're so disillusioned by what you've read on the internet and from what you see on Cops, you think you're living in the 1960's. You need to pull your head out of your collective rear and stop being a baby. Stop whining on message boards about whitey and go gripe in front of mediated venues with the NAACP logo in the background. You're really comical. Reading you comments have really given me a laugh this evening. Talk about the pot calling the kettle black.

Punk,
If you knew me at all, you would understand that I pay very close attention to what's happening inside the American government. You know, I totally agree that Obama is not the 'typical black man'. To tell you the truth, I was very reluctant to use Obama's run for the presidency as an example. Maybe I jumped the gun because of society in general. Maybe I was subconsciously using Obama as the 'universal' symbol for all races. Barack Obama certainly isn't black and I'm quite glad and relieved that you can see through the act and face the unpleasant facts related to his heritage and life in general.
I'm definitely not trying to use Obama as a possible excuse to cover up my racism by using his heritage or skin color as a front for hidden demons towards minorities.
Everyone has the right to speak. When people abuse their rights in America, the first rule of thumb for minorities is to use their skin color as a catalyst of recovery if indeed they are mistreated or 'mishandled' in a way that they find offensive by a white person. It doesn't even have to be related to racism. I'm not saying that you are one of these people; someone who uses their race to exploit people's human mistakes. Of course, I'm speaking of the Chapman incident. The guy stuck his foot in his mouth and his slip of the tongue was exploited to the point of being ridiculous. Cries of banning the 'N' word reigned throug5b4h the airwaves liked hidden armies speculating on what strategic racial motivated move they could make next, hence, banning the 'N' word. If you are to represent humanity in general, AND, if indeed YOU are black, the first thing you need to do is publicly speak out against your four biggest hinderer's: Barack Obama (even tho he's of Middle Eastern heritage), Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, and Louis Farakhan. (sp) At this point in time, you have four idiots who seemingly take it upon themselves to represent every black man from Maine to Alaska. They seem too preachy and whiny for anyone to truly take them seriously. C'mon, Al Sharpton is simply a riot to watch. I honestly believe the media keeps giving him air time because they can let the American public discern the idiot side of him and his racial rhetoric.
I think you probably have enough gall and simple knowledge to see that you truly have a bunch of jackasses who have brought it upon themselves to tell the public what 'you' and every other black man stands for. Is that what you really want?
Jesse Jackson isn't as bad as Sharpton. The 'Rev' Jesse Jackson is an enigma to me. Reverend of what? Just what does he represent? What God does he serve? Does any of this matter? To me, yes. I honestly think that the three aforementioned people are 'closet muslims'. Good old Louis spends his time frothing out the mouth, spouting his muslim rage towards white people while good, dob68wn to earth black people are being labeled by fools like this. Stop putting your knowledge on this message board (Now, that is the pot calling the kettle black. Look who's talking about talking on a message board) and mediate it. There is such a thing as YouTube you know?
You keep referring to my level of education. Why is that? Because I mentioned that a black man was chosen over me with a 3.7gpa? Punk, the truth of the matter is that being a legal minority in this country is a pathway towards free gifts from the US Government. You keep asking me about my information and how I come up with my answers being labeled as fact, but don't underestimate how I know what I know.
What if I were to say that I am close friends with a legal US citizen from South Africa. He just happens to be so black that the only thing you can see in a dim room is his teeth. He moved in next door to me before we went to college, living with his grandparents. We hit it off and remained friends through high school, well into college, even until this day. As a matter of fact, he's sitting on the couch watching 'Demons' while my wife and his 'white' girl friend of four years make spaghetti. When my friend was around twenty two (just a few years ago) my brother and he applied for a government grant to start their own business. My black friend wanted to start his own computer and security systems company. My brother wanted to start a construction business as the housing industry was doing pretty well.
In three months, my black friend gets a letter from the federal government stating that he was eligible for a government based grant especially for legalized and American born minorities. They also stated that the growing number of foreign doctors in this country were given free passes. The next time you visit the doctors office or local clinic, I guarantee you that you either are treated by a foreign doctor, or their's one on the premises. You can also bet your bottom dollar that every other foreign doctor that you see was given a free pass through medical school while white people had to juggle three jobs to pay their $20,000 a quarter bill.

Really? The same reason honky, wetback, Wop, slant eyed are offensive. They are words that perpetuate a stereotypical assumption of a persons intellectual ability simply because of the color or lack of in their skin. One race HUMAN!!
