As a White person who went to a school that was 50% white, 50 % black I think I have alot of insight into this topic.
1. Blacks are not born with more athletic ability, however they ARE born with a better chance of having more muscle mass and a better muscle to fat ratio, thus why they are poor swimmers, and often good runners/ athletes.
2. Yes, we all know that in the past you were slaves, we don't need to be reminded every 15 minutes. However, your own tribesmen in Africa are the ones who sold you in the first place, I don't see many blacks blaming them though.
3. (and this is obviously a stereotype) instead of always complaining about how you were treated in the past, and using that as a crutch, you could take advantage of all the opportunities you are being given in the present, this would make the recovery time alot shorter.
4. I would just like to say this right now. I have lots of black friends, they can be some cool people. I have come to understand the differences in culture between blacks and whites. However some blacks have chosen to embrace a culture filled with Hate, that is certainly not conducive to racial equality.
5. Despite what many people think, if you are black, and you get fired, it wasn't necessarily because you are black. Stop using the race card as a crutch and things will become a lot less tense when it comes to racism.
6. I cannot tell you how many times I have been racially slured against by blacks, without prompt or reason. Yet, we are suddenly racist if we retaliate. Does this seem fair?
Basically what I'm trying to say is that while the black race has been given the opportunity to excel in the world and gain the racial equality they have wanted, they have yet to man up, and actually take the responsibility that this opportunity entails. Instead they continue to PROMOTE racial differences, and can always fall back on how they were treated in the past.
(this of course is a generalization, and while I feel this is the sentiment and actions of a particular culture in its entirety, I do feel that individuals should be judged on their own account, and do so accordingly. If you prove to me that you are a decent individual that has the intelligence to cast aside the past, take responsibility for your own actions, look toward the future, and likewise judge others upon their own accord, I will treat you with respect. Z03 has not showed me this. While claiming that blacks are the target of racism he mindlessly makes racially motivated comments against others, he further chooses to ignore all opportunities given to blacks at the moment, and concentrate on what has happened in the past. I am truley sorry for the way my fore fathers acted, but there
weight is not on my shoulders, and retributions have been given, so move on and take responsibility for your own life.)
