Good God. Not admitting to racism (I don't use words associated with other races in negative connotations) or anything, but all this arguing back and forth is chafing my nuts. I mean, good lord, what's everyone getting all worked up over? My stance on African Americans is this: Sure, white people made you suffer for awhile. You made some speeches, walked some places, got some rights, and have been digging out of everyone's pockets the last 40 years or so. Digging deep I might add. Sure we did some bad things, but whites got you over here in the first place, AND we give you tons of free shit "for your hardship". This isn't the point I am trying to make, though.
The point, which I was building to, is that in Modern America, most prominent African Americans are whiners. Before anyone pegs me as racist for that sentence, let me also say that all races do a fair share of whining. White people whine a lot too, but in a lot of cases, there are far more white people in hardship than blacks. Why? Because the gov'ment decided that since black people were complaining (as usual), they'd implement a series of "Affirmative Action" employment and benefit legislature. I might be wrong about this affirmative action thing, this is what I gather from what I've heard. Now, is it just me, or does this guarantee employment, scholarships, and other government aid for blacks? What about whites? Where are OUR "affirmative action" benefits? Where are OUR guaranteed jobs? It just seems to me that white people have been making an awful lot of sacrifices for blacks for an awful long time simply for bringing them over here and making them work for some years. Hell, it wasn't even technically unpaid because they were fed and sheltered! I dunno, the whole "reparations" thing really gets me fired up.
Either way, I don't see why anyone's complaining about being a minority... we're all outnumbered by the mexicans anyway.
