I am rather late to this party. I have never posted on this subject, becuase I think that we can never really resovle these issues, especially not over the internet with a few dozen people who have never met, have no idea what thier background is, or what experiences have helped to shape thier lives. I personally disagree with most of the poeple on here, and that is due to the factors that have shaped my life.
I don't think that Prtygrl's feeling can be simply dimissed, as well as the feelings of those that are attacking her viewpoint. Let's all agree to disgree. There is no winning this debate. This issue is older and bigger than all of us here. If great men such as Malcom X, Martin Luther King, WEB DuBois, can't eradicate the problems that are faced by African Americans, then how will we do it on a chat board. Comeon folks.
Some whites, and some blacks will never really get what it is to be an African American inn this country.
Just my $19.11 worth.
