  • Which history books did you read!? I would HOPE the African-American community would harbor some resentment or "belligerance!" Wow - a whole 40 years of resentment after 211 years of human chattelry! A whole FIFTY years ago, blacks were being killed in the south if they dared enter a voting booth or sat at a drugstore counter. What you term "belligerance" is a form of everyday resistance and self-assertion. "White America" certainly has not dealt "openly and fairly" with "black America."

  • What about the asians? for the past 13 years of my life, all i've been hearing about was controversy over blacks and whites, well what about the asians?

    Nobody ever talks about the asians anymore... except in steriotypical kung fu movies those ignorant bastards... asians have worked hard all their life, and all they get is squat, sure, they have high paying jobs etc., but everyone is focused on the whites and blacks, asians were slaves, fought grueling wars, and yet we still get pushed around?

  • @KHaozRage LOL That's true. Asians are neglected, specifically the Chinese.

  • @1luving Obama has no redeeming qualities - if you count "pathological liar" as a redeeming quality.

  • "I'm happy for my people. I'm happy." -racist.

  • @gjylymsere He is brown. The black gene is dominant. He is black, and his father jumped from one white woman to another. Fucking hilarious.
