For the record, I am a 38 year old black man. Member of the oldest blackcollege fraternity for men. I love my God, my country and my family.
Do I think racism is alive and well? of course. Do I think blacks and whites are racists? of course. Do I think we can cure racism? Not with 100% of people but with a lot more. How? by taking thwe time and learning about each other. We dont have tolike each other but we need to get to know each other. Most people judge by face value without getting to know the person. For example, you see a white guy walking downthe street with a tsirt with a rebel flag on it and weraing a dirty baseball cap. You make a judgement about him without even knowing him. He could be a racist. He could not be. You dont know. You se a black kid walking down the street wearing baggy pants and a hat turned crooked. Youmake a jugdement about him. Could be a thug, could not be we dont know. '
The point is when we stop prejudgin people bythe waythey look or theri color we will be better off in the long run.
Also as I said before, young white kids listen to BET and rap music. Heck, the producers makrket too them. Rap is not a black thing. I dont listen to a lot of nor do my friends. Thig life is NOT a blackthing. I am not a thug. Its actually an insult to suggest that thegangster life is an african american culture thing.
So why insult yourselves? Not logical too me.
