@dmorris41 What's racist..... is most white people think they are above, higher and better than any other race of human being.

@dmorris41 you comprehended my statement wrong; I did not write all white people are racist, some are racist” Please read my statement again, for clarity.

What's racist..... is most white people think they are above, higher and better than any other race of human being.

@TheGirlslikeme well in my particular case I was culturally conditioned by two well rounded, educated, sympathetic open minded parents who taught me never to judge someone based upon appearance or what others tell me about them. But rather reserve judgement for when you truely understand someone and who they are. Maybe you should go around teaching that.. instead of this "all white people are racist propaganda" also when you say "we" exclude me =) have a nice day

@dmorris41 All around the world, especially in America, we are culturally conditioned to believe that white is superior and black inferior. The manifestation of that cultural conditioning is that we are undervalued, underestimated and marginalized. Understand THAT!

@TheGirlslikeme isnt that what your really want too? If so, your not helping your cause by furthur segregating black people with organizations like this. Why cant their be a scholarship pageant fo young women (of any color) who cannot finacially make it through college? Wishful thinking, but just know racism works both ways. Judgement, if neccesary, should be reserved until after you have gotten to know an individual completely.

@TheGirlslikeme through your whole life thinking that.. then well I feel sorry for you really. By all means if you want to play the pity game with me ill win. Im a white male... and I have gone and am going through things that I would never wish upon anybody. But I would never put the blame of these things upon a specifc people... its life. You need to understand that.. we all go through horrible things. Not just black people. I just wish we didnt see people differently based on color.. I mean

@TheGirlslikeme Are you completely ignorant to the fact that everybody in this world has problems? first, I have never marginalized, ignored, or debased anybody on this planet from their superficial appearance. Second, Miss black america helps young (BLACK) women" is what you should have said. Any organization that benefits a people solely based upon their skin color or other superficial qualities is racist. Lets be honest, im not surprised you think the world owes you something. But if you go
