Oh, well either way I don't see what the big deal is.

Nope, I know the song, I listen to a lot of R&B, Rap too, so it puzzles me when people call mea racist. It never happened either, I can understnad what NYC is going through, but I really didn't mean **** by what I posted.

Thank you, Tiger Woods.
Speaking of tiger woods. People are always oooh tiger woods, he's a black pioneer he's such a great golfer...



Tiger woods isnt just black, he's virtually every single possible race you can be. You would think out of anyone race would not be an issue surrounding him, yet he is made a black icon. Halle Berry, it was a big deal when she became the first black actress to win this and that... She's half white. The reason that racism exists goes all the way down to stuff like that just as well. Really...

Oh thank God you didn't get all defensive with that comment.



I was watching an interview with him and a famous black celebrity, I believe it was Oprah or someone along those lines, and they tried to corner him into saying he was black by asking what race he classified himself as. And his response was, "Human."

People **** me off sometimes. Thats ridiculous, theres no reason anyone should have to classify themselves as any race. That was the perfect answer. I've been rereading Maniac Magee lately, i know its an elementary school book but its always been a favorite. Seriously, we could all learn something by reading that book again.

The problem with the world isn't race, it's the people willing to supress the fact that it'll never go away.



Speed NYC, you wanted us to say what pisses us off about your race. Well, against my better judgement, here it is.



It's the sole fact that your people make it possible for the rest of the world to bring up the argument about why things like the United Caucasian College Fund will never exist. It's the fact that things like the White Entertainment Television network will never exist, reasons why you'll NEVER see the White American public recognise groups like the KKK, but the majority of the Black public chooses to help the cause of the Black Panthers.



The fact is that as long as Black American's choose to want to seperate themselfes by caring only for themselfes, the rest of America will never cease to accept them for what they want to be accepted for, equalls.



I have plenty of Black friends and coworkers who don't want reporations, who don't want the help of the UNCF, they are the ones who told me what I'm partly telling you.



Sorry I had to say that, but I've never been the one to lie.



One last thing and I'm done with this argument, I plan to attend Rotorfest next year. You're more then welcome to take a swing at me, but don't expect me to stand still and let you beat me up as you so eloquently put it.

I agree with Srce, he makes many good points. My fav. was a black girl on a talk show saying she couldn't get an education because white people were in her class. So she refused to go to school. I've also seen a white girl say the same thing about a black kids.

Now my personal experience. my brother and I were the only 2 white kids in a N. Las Vegas school when I first moved out here.. I was beaten up several time because I was white, and had a few dollars for lunch. I didn't understand why. My best play pal was a black kid before I moved. It was black people who taught me how not to trust them and not respect them..It was a good thing I finally figured out the bleed red just the same as us..I ate lunch everyday after I figured that out.

Generally I've found the people that are the first to scream race are the most racist of them all.
