(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)

Racist poem? I think not. Yeah the truth does hurt. First of all yes the little girl was 1000% correct. Please explain what Christopher Columbus discovered? How happy would you be if I walked in your house and discovered your jewlery, your dining room set, all of your belongings and YOU???? I think you just might have a problem with it. Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe you would happily give everything to me.
I frankly couldn't care less about you being offended. See for too long Blacks have tip toed around whites trying to spare their precious feelings. If only we could put the past behind us everything would be oh so paradise, yeah right. See for some reason the past just keeps reappearing in the present. Why are Blacks in Louisiana still not placed in homes yet? Why are all of those new homes just sitting and now our government is talking about selling them to other government agencies. How can our government and white people in particular dare to call someone a terrorist? I mean how many of our people have been killed, raped, tortured, etc. Terrorist? Let's see... capturing people like animals, swinging them up a tree, setting them on fire and then selling the body parts. That's real humane right? Oh and this was not only done in America but around the world. Oh how soon we forget.
As far as the rape victim - the reason why we assumed she was white is because we keep seeing the same thing over and over and over and over again. Because we still live in a racist and unequal country.
Oh and let's not forget all of our opportunites. Let me educate you on the difference. See for one thing no one gave us anything. Any opportunity we have our people earned. Our people died for that opportunity. Sorry to inform you but contrary to your history books white people stole and killed to get to the top. That's where the racism really stems from. See if you attain something by evil and wicked means you're always scared someone is going to take it from you. Or better yet you're afraid someone else is more evil than you. And you're right to be afraid because it's not a matter of if , it's a matter of who and when. If opportunity alone assured success then every white person in America should be so-called successful. Who has more opportunites than them?
I am mixed with both Native American and Black lineage and that nonsense that you're talking really is falling on deaf ears over here. My grandmother who is Cherokee clearly recalls picking cotton, cleaning white people's homes, cooking their food and having to enter through the back door. Oh yeah and having to leave her shoes on the back porch so she wouldn't dirty the floors that SHE cleaned. Oh I can't leave out the part about some other black women who had to nurse white babies.
Oh yeah let me not forget her brother who was killed by a white man because a white woman was looking at him. (Mind you she was looking at him, he wasn't looking at her.) This man commented to her husband if I were you I'd shoot the nigger. Well since you won't I will. And he did just that. He shot him in the throat and since he was black (although he actually was Cherokee not black) he could not get medical attention so he died in my grandmother's arms. By the way that left his wife with out a husband and their children without a father. Tell them it's in the past.
So when you talk about dragging up the past you are the one who is offensive. This is our blood, our family and we take it very seriously. It's not our past. We live with it every day. What if my grandmother had the opportunities that I have today. Or better yet the opportunities that white women during her youth had?
It always amazes me when people talk about blacks using the 'race card' and how we use it for convenience and so forth and so on. You see we always have to apologize and explain and justify and all of that BS yet whites are never called on their foulness. Enough already. So it's your right to feel offended and it's certainly your right to be up in arms. But please don't expect to be pacified.
And while we're on the topic of the past I guess all of the history books need to be thrown out because all of it happened in the past. But for some reason white history is glorified although the majority of it is a lie. How about reparations? Since the topic of excuses comes up, (the excuse why our government can't pay up) if whites had to give back all that they stole that would leave them with...let's see...NOTHING. You see I will NEVER forget what my people sacrificed so that I could be here today to utilize these 'opportunities' afforded me.
I used to think that some white people were just ignorant but I've learned that there is a such thing as selective ignorance, meaning pretending to be ignorant works in their favor. As long as this person pretends to be ignorant they are not held accountable for their actions. It's a mind game. What white person is truly unaware that the opportunities they enjoy came at the price of our ancestors. None. See your card has been pulled. You don't lie unless you are aware of the truth. You lie to cover up the truth.
You say you know there are problems. You have no idea. And any black person that claims that everything is a-ok is deceiving himself. How can you combat a problem if you don't even know what the problem is? As a matter of fact you're really not trying to know what the problem is. When you start talking about you like to debate that tells me all that I need to know. There's nothing to debate & please don't insult our intelligence to try to convince us that this young lady is racist. It's a shame when a 7 year old has more wisdom and courage than some adults.
This 7 year old exposed the truth and that's why there is controversy. The controversy is that they want her to shut up because she exposed lies. If all blacks just sat back and twiddled their thumbs we'd still be picking cotton.
The TRUTH will set you free.....
P.S. I'm with the Pony and Scholarship fund!
Hence, where the problem lies and continues to lie.......
