And NO I'm not against blacks or any kind of race, however I'm tired of people complaining about the past. There are so many ways that this country has tried to make things equal. Just because there are those companies or people or whatever that still discriminate doesn't mean that there aren't others out there who actually care and don't care what color ur skin is. I'm a big girl. I've been discriminated from getting jobs, but I don't complain about it. I pick myself up and find someone who will hire me for who I am. When my mother came to this country, she was discriminated against cuz she was an immigrant. Does she complain about it? No. Her and her family did what they could to get to the top. It'd be the same if any of my famly complained about what their life was like back then. I'd be sick of it. That is me. Take it however u want, but ur these are my opinions, and u have ur own. As for me posting again, I'll keep on.

My eyes are wide open, believe me...each time you post, you have me looking at my screen, wide-eyed in disbelief.
I am not really surprised that people still feel this way. I guess I am disappointed that people STILL do not see anything wrong with it, and are in fact, confident enough to say it with pride.
PM Mama...the fact is that your parents immigrated over here...immigrated...BY CHOICE. Not everyone's ancestors had that luxury. Some were plucked from their native villages and forced to come here under the worst conditions imaginable.
Yes that was the past. But the fact is that the ramifications of it STILL haunt Black people today. The consquences are far-reaching and long-lasting.
It is great that you are able to dust yourself off and try again. Great! But please understand that NOT EVERYONE IS LIKE YOU! (breathing a sigh of relief). And it is not THEIR fault either. They are simply not afforded the same opportunities you are.
I think that at your age, it might be hard for you to unlearn everything that you have been taught. That is very unfortunate because people like you are the reason that oppression, racism, PREDUISM, xenophobia and whatever other label you want to put on it, exist today.
Please do post. I wrote that out of haste. The more you post the more your ignorance is exposed.
