I am so sick and tired of the racism, I am tired of being blamed for everything because I am black.  I am tired of the racist comments.  If this country is fine going backwards then so be it.  But just know that every empire will rise and fall.  We are probably the only empire that will have destroyed ourselves.  Instead of focusing on Osama Bin Laden, so many Americans are finding ways to hate the black man. 

 

 

Keep hating me because of my color, keep hating who I am because of my color, but just know while you are hating me because I am a black American, then you are allowing Osama Bin Laden to get stronger. The economy is failing and our young men and woman are fighting in a war with no cause.

 

 

 

Go ahead and hate me, it is so hard for me not to be angry, I fought for this country and would die for the American flag, but even though I have held my part I am still hated because of my color.

 

 

 

Its just foolish and it takes everything in my power to not feel anger and hate.  

 

 

 

I am sick and tired of the racist comments on here.  If i write about the economy, i get post about how the black man has his hand out, if i talk about Obama then i get the comments about me voting because he is black.  The worst ones are just the every day nasty negative racist comments that I get on my post for no reason. 

 

 

I am tired and fed up.  I don't ask for hand outs and most black people don't ask for hand outs.  There are black ghettos as well as white trailer parks, crack in black communities and cocaine in white communities, gun violence with gang on gang attacks and white kids that shoot school mates. 

 

 

The problem is not color, the problem is how ignorant people have become and they don't focus on their children.  Instead people focusing on color and not looking at their own house hold.
