whites are in a position of power? so like even though we have a black president, or other successful blacks in just about EVERY industry, we’re still in a position of power? your right I dont see it. I dont see how someone can see themselves as so Oppressed by the “whites” and blame EVERYTHING they cant do on the “WHITES” when blacks right out of slavery accomplished so much more in their lives, hell more then in my own life, at a time when they really were oppressed. Somehow despite that ,thru pure determination and true American grit ,they stamped out their own lives. They taught themselves to read, they built schools so they could teach others to read. They fought thru all the racism and made it. Do I believe there is racism? YES. but you see to me racism is hate, so yeah you can be black and be a racist, because the core of racism is HATRED of another race. You think its impossible to be racist or HATE whites because YOU believe they are in control of the system. Thing is if Whites are in control why do we have a black president? I mean statistically blacks make up only 13% of the entire populations of America, so damn how did that happen?You think the system is rigged against blacks,but then HOW are so many blacks successful? How are so many rich,or famous? You see I think your confused, the system is not rigged against blacks, its rigged against the poor. Yes a huge portion of blacks are poor,but being that blacks are only 13% of the population they are not the ONLY poor people in America. Though even being poor that does NOT mean you cant pull yourself up by the boot straps and work your way up. Under democratic rule its much harder to do. I mean they put you on welfare and and make it so when you make more you lose the aid you still need. Its a catch twenty two.But this whole blacks cant make it because whites are in power, yeah your right I dont see,but its not because my poor little feelings are hurt,because their not. I dont have hate in my heart,towards anyone really, so mostly I’m just confused how you can be so blind to the truth. Maybe you need to examine your own hurt feelings, about how whites just dont “get” how you feel.
