[MrAMPWILL]

racism has never left America it has always been in your face from the laws that are made to movies on the big screen

[rbacreative]

You know you've arrived as a Black person when you have one name with an accent in it...

[marcheleasonapparel]

@YungPar ur funny when you say why should we be proud that he gave us something...again we aren't slaves and the massa isn't throwing us the pig guts to boil and eat...if I'm not mistaken you can go buy a Iphone if you have the money to buy it no one will stop you because ur black lol! it'll be alright once you realize that you can have whatever you set your mind to if you want it bad enough...I'll pray for you and hope you pray for me too :)

[marcheleasonapparel]

@YungPar how long you gonna blame the white man huh? get over it we are not slaves any more...use the things that you are able to use to get ahead in this world this world of America land of the free...yes every body struggles but ur talking about black people...I don't agree with you that STUFF isn't our fault...sh** I was born free so America is my oyster im not going to sit around crying saying I can't get what I want because of the white man that sh** sounds stupid lol! Ima get mine...PERIOD

[marcheleasonapparel]

@YungPar basically racism will exist until the end of time so why even trip and waste ur energy on it...move on and around it and get over it...geese lol!

[marcheleasonapparel]

@YungPar blacks and whites do have the same opportunities...it might not be as easy for a black person to get SOME of those opportunities but blacks DO have them. ok so if you have a degree then you have education so then you should know in AMERICA you can do anything you want even be president. blah blah blah who cares about he media I live in real life I know what I can have if I want it ...it's there. I don't know about you but there is no limit to where life can take me in America!

[marcheleasonapparel]

@YungPar omfg! ur killing me! who said im putting my own people down...just stop with that nonsense. Dude tehre are NOT more white people in prison that blacks are you f'ng serious! omfg i can't even believe you said that LOL! u need a serious reality check dude. I know if you want it bad enough you can move that's bullshit and I am not a know it all ...I just know if you want it bad enough you can make it happen if your not a weak person. I know because Ive done it myself. not hardly misguided

[marcheleasonapparel]

@YungPar As far as ISE goes he doesn't even like me anyway Lol! I don't agree with him or say what he wants to hear and he can't handle that he blocked me off his facebook because I didn't agree with him just like on here I'm sure I'll be blocked too loL! but anyways-You have the same liberties and you can move and you can stay out of jail if you obey the law it's pretty simple...people who think like you do make it hard on themselves. You can have anything you set your mind to This is the USA!

[marcheleasonapparel]

@YungPar In this day and age black people have the same opportunity as anyone...if you want it it's there...if you think its not then ur just not utilizing the resources. and you have no one to blame but yourself...u are blind to the truth if you think you can't have what Donald Trump has (just using him as an example) I don't limit my self to anything

[marcheleasonapparel]

@YungPar Are you an serious? The story is about four little black girls getting killed in a church (learn your history) and you say so what? Oh so its better not to be called the N word in a church but its ok to be killed in won? Dumb you are so very dumb with that comment. wow...and no im not trying t o defend the white racist where in the hell do you get that from?? Ise speaks his truth and the way he interprets that and it's nothing wrong with that...
