I am so sick and tired of hearing the woes is me from so many black
people. Are there some people who are still prejudice because a
person is black? Yes, but prejudice exists in all forms- small
breasts, big breasts, tall, short, educated, not, blonde, brunette,
old, young and the list goes on and on. The people who keep
opressing the black race are the blacks. They keep constantly
mentioning that they are black and those that talk about how they
were enslaved- YOU WEREN'T ENSLAVED!!! Yes your great great grand
parents were and that was horrible and wrong but you are free as a
bird and always have been and have had the world at your
fingertips!! Who's holding down the black people? The black people,
thats who. And don't get me started on all black schools and quotas
for colleges. Quotas might have been necessary 50 years ago but
they no longer have a place- let the best person win, black white
or polka dot. And can you imagine if whites had an all white
college or two?? We'd be racist pigs. For people who want euaility
it seems that they keep segregating themselves and brining up whats
different about them every chance there is. 'Black in America', I
would love to be black in America-highest paid athletes, top actors
and actresses, some of the best dr.'s, lawyers, I could qualify for
special black only scholarships for post education... The blacks
who aren't getting anywhere in life need to face reality and
realize it's not the 'white man' holding them down it's themselves
just like any other negative, angry, bitter person in this world
who doesn't want to take responsibility for their own plight in
life-jobless, bankrupt, passed up for a raise, whatever the case
may be. Quit riding on the coat tails of your ancestors plight and
do what they would have loved to do- live life to the fullest. And
you better believe they would have done so with no excuses.
