All I can say is whah!
So if this is going on today? What are ppl doing about it? In particular...black ppl??
Easy to look at the "past" and cry and complain. How about this moment? Here and now?
Are you waiting for "white" America to free those 27 million too in addition to the blacks freed here in this country? Did we forget about all the whiteys that died in the Civil War for these freedoms?
You live in a country that had white/black segregation only 60 years ago yet have a black president today...that is amazing and demonstrates how far we have come.
As an aside, the whole "African American" thing is bullshit. You are black. You call me white. I am not Euro-American or anything else.
Get over yourself. Start producing and stop complaining.
The world is full of haves and have nots...rich and poor. It has always been that way bro. At least in this country you have the opportunity to get ahead and make it big. Tons of rags to riches stories...look around you.
We need to start thinking globally. Not white or black or U.S. or Russia...etc. The world needs to pool its resources or as the population continues to grow and resources shrink, the world will become smaller and smaller. A desperate nation will do desperate things. What would you do if your children were starving?
We are all connected and part of the human race. Stop dividing between black and white, red, yellow or otherwise.
How can our children be color blind in this world if there is a black history month? And a long list of other "black only" Associations and organizations??? If you we keep pointing out the differences then we will keep seeing the differences.
