WTF are you talking about?
I was remarking on your long winded speech about the down trodden blacks in the U.S.
Made me want to break out my hankie.
Lets be honest.
For a long LONG time blacks have been down trodden.
So much so that alot of them still have in engrained in their psyche that they cant succeeed because they are black.
While racism against blacks as still does exist. Its far FAR less then they beleive it to be.
And it isnt much worse then discimination against anyone else anymore,
As I said in another thread. there will ALWAYS be people who wont like other people for any number of reasons. From skin color to hair color.
But its by far less then they think it is.
They often see it and beleive it to be now where it isnt so.
They often start with a defeatist beleif. Therefore they end up defeating themselves.
Instead of telling themselves and their children what they can do if they educate themselves and are willing to work hard.
They tell themselves that they probably wont because of their color.
They dont beleive they can succeed therefore they dont.
