  • They scream racism because America is built on racism! The very white house Obama now resides in, was built by slaves. Just because Obama is now president, that does NOT mean that America has rid itself of its inherent racism. Racism, is just as potent as it was 50 years ago, it's just that fanciful ignorant white people like you think that it has somehow now become non-existent. Pay atttention and read between the lines.

  • PART II --- white flight, convicting minorities by way of all-white juries, race-based decisions concerning minority home buyers and loan seekers, etc...We as minorities need to understand their racism towards us is big business in the grand scheme of things. As soon as we commit this to memory as fact the better and stronger we'll become as a people.

  • Well racism end? the answer is no. The thing is that racism blacks is not biggest problem that's the break down of the family (No employed dad at home). Nobody wants to hear this but most single moms produce either monsters, bums or wimps, (I grew up around this).

  • @ezekielthemack: Amen and Amen again.

  • Speak Bro. Travis, speak the truth and shame the devil.

  • It is not a matter of us hating this country, it is a matter of being treated equally as others and respected for more than your amusement or entertainment.

    The anger you seeing and sensing is from the average minority in the street.

    You want us to get past this issue, but we still feel the pain and it's generational we can't forget and forgive !!!!!

  • Another point, I will stress and this really make me really frustrated is that who owns majority of the business and wealth in America?

    Also, if you a minority trying to be upright and squared in his action, what usually happen when we try to unite or educate the masses in our community?

    Your people go nuts, deny or passover a highly qualified black person over a convict of your own race.

    You keep putting that we gain or acquire so,much, but how did we do it?

    We entertain you( continue)

  • To continue from my last comment, I hate to be seen as a racist, but to this very day Blacks,Latinos,and Asians has been unfairly treated in this racist country.

    See Whites or Caucasians has live off the misery of my people.

    You say, "We blame and scream racism" because of the past.

    To prove to you a point, and to bring light to those in denial; When ever a disaster or something good happen in the African-American or any minority community what usually be shown in the media?

  • First of all, I come with truth and honesty.

    Second, I have read these comments and frankly, feel that this problem of race will be the greatest downfall of this country.

    Third, I am also sadden by the ignorance and hatred being displayed, don't get me wrong I am angry at the total inequality of minorities economically,socially, and the"denial".

    It is generational but, our community need to stop depending on the Government for any help that time has past and we need to develop our own.
