Stop hatin' on the Black Man!

CNN's Black in America series hit a nerve with me. I am angry today because I am tired of the black man being portrayed as this illiterate, lazy, irresponsible criminal who has no idea of how to get ahead in this world. Not all of us are like that but since we are dark, we will always be stereotyped as such... Gee Thanks, Soledad.... Good job CNN, I applaud you SOledad, but dayum, are we that bad?????

Its the older 50 plus year old black men that gets most on my nerves, they just dont even try to seve as an example for black men to look up to...that is the black MALES main problem. OLDER BLACK ROLE MODELS.

Come on now did you think the CNN special would be fair? As long as we are black and not don't expect it.. I feel as if we are just being tolerated..

Most of that crap is propaganda!

Most of that crap is propaganda and i don't take that special seriously.

are light skinned negroes considered better because they are mixed race and black skinned blacks are 100 african and for this less evolved? Whats the deal with that if u hate black people won't all be hated the same or seen to be less than. I know I'm the most evolved human because my skin is very pale white, I don't even tan!

You are mad due to your stereotypes being true? Obviously not every black person is a criminal, thug, uneducated, drug abuser or whatever you said. But "brother" before you say that us "white folks" are hurting your life, you should look at how "your people" affect us. Then steal a gun and kill yourself.
