We haven't come a long way. Race is still an issue, and white folks TODAY are still the ones benefiting from all the oppression and bullshit they put us through.

Perfect example of the self-pitying whining that's so prelevant among AAs these days. If race is still such an issue, make your life better! Colleges out there are tripping all over themselves to fill their quotas; small business loans are available for minorities. DO something about it.
Personally, I'm tired of everyone getting all upset because someone dropped the N-bomb. It's like when Whitey was going after Rev. Wright for things he said, everyone getting their panties in a twist because of words.
I'm a proud, strong, well-eductated Black Woman and I don't give a damn if someone calls me That Word. It doesn't affect me one way or another and it shouldnt' affect you either.
