Perhaps you are one of those people who thinks that you can only be racist against those of a specific "minority"? Yes the whites are the majority in this country, at least for now. Then again, "white" counts for anyone who isnt black or asian.
Reparations is basically false in my mind too when so many generations has gone by. Not every people, race, person who has been enslaved throughout history gets something to show for it. Take equality where it stands and quit asking to be given more.

Jaco...You missed the point entirely...You probably can't even properly define racism, no offense...Not many people can...
The point is that you hire what you can relate to...The studies have been done, I'm not making this stuff up...If two people apply for a job that have the same qualifications, an insane amount of time the employer will hire a person w/t same ethnic background as them...I'm not saying that's wrong or racist...Consider this...
The vast majority of professional athletes in football are afro american...The same is true, for collegiate football...Would you be so brash as to say that of the hundreds of thousands of scholarship athletes that pass through college can't coach the sport they played..? That's nonsense...There are 3 Division I head coaches that are Afro American...3 out of 112...

That's because you don't know your ancestors...I do...We are not that many generations gone from slavery...

I think this is an exaggeration for the women and children at least. I also remember that the only place in the world where slavery is still widespread is africa.

WHAT..??? If there were ever at time in HISTORY where 40K white people were killed, it was by other white people....Wikipedia rocks...And as far as laughing and such goes, you don't have to ask me that...Ask the people that were burning that poor boy alive in the FIRST Waco Texas incident...Better yet, post me a link of ANY group of people celebrating over the inhumane treatment of whites...I bet you that I can post 100 pictures before you find 10...

So...You're saying it's an excuse for BARELY passing an already defunct law..??? LoL...I see, you've never been to Mississippi before, or read nothing about the state...

An excuse..???? I hope you NEVER experience a personal loss, because once you multiply that times 400 years, you may get an idea...These were my kin, and the kin of others being treated worse than pets...It will ALWAYS matter, because people like you refuse to accept what happened...It's not Afro Americans so much, as it is people saying, "Get over it already," When the shit is still going on...But, it's not stopping you, so you don't care...Touche...

Watch MTV or even BET to see exactly what I mean, if you dont see it then maybe you are just used to it. Glorification of crime is degredation of society, simple as that. I also know exactly what it says about my character, I speak what I believe to be the truth.

Glorification of crime isn't a damn "black" thing...I bet that the people that write the Sopranos are aren't black, the makers of the Grand Theft Auto Video Games aren't black...CSI Miami and all that...? WTF are you talking about..? What about all these movies coming out that "glorify" dudes walking around with big ass guns, shooting people..? Are they black..? That's something you can attribute to SOCIETY Son, please...Stop it...
MTV and BET...Shit...Do you think the majority of the people that are buying the very music and what not you speak of...Are black..? LOL...Heh...
Just because I'm not ashamed of the fact that I grew up in a poor enviroment, obviously unlike all others, I'm glorifying it..? That makes sense to you..?
