(Or especially in the young man charged with rape thread when everyone just "KNEW" it was a white girl - why can't I be offended when you guys are racist like that - and that is very racist to assume that it was a white girl)

That's the thing, though. This poem is NOT racist. She is telling things that actually happened. The songs that those racist twins were singing were racist.
Show me where
I was up in arms, because I thought the girl in that "rape" case was white. I didn't. I investigated. I call my family, who lives in the area and I asked what was going on. If you have a problem with those whom you think were "up in arms" holla at them about it. Your post is directed to me.
I asked if you were Black, because I wanted to know where you were coming from, when you said "But that is not so much the case anymore (I did not say NOT EVER - because I'm not stupid enough to think there aren't things that still happen). There is oppertunity for everyone now if they want to find it."
When you said the statement that I quoted, I figured you weren't Black, but I didn't want to be presumtuous. You are not qualified to tell me what opportunities exist, or even place a gauge on what type of racist encounters await me, because you have not and willnot walk in my shoes. So, find your lane and stay in it. Shut up, and learn something. Don't think you know anything about my existence. You don't.
