Sorry to hear you are going through a phase right now. Does that come complete with cramps, bleeding, bloating, etc? Does Midol make things better?
Also, do you get offended when someone calls you black instead of an African American? It's a whole lot easier to say. I am white and it doesn't bother me to be calleda white guy. Just curious!
Black, African American... Whatever. I use the term Arfican American as not to offend any of Bruthu's! I personally have no problem with either but then again I'm a little different than most in the sense that I believe all races should have equal rights and benefits. No special programs at all for anyone just because of their ethnic background. America was built on equality, therefore we should and are all equal. To give one race an advatage over the other is racist and offensive to me as a minority. I mean why shouldn't I be able to get the same job as a white person if I am equally qualified? With special programs ignorant people may assume that the only reason why I hold the position I hold is because I'm black... This is appalling to me.
End of rant.
To the person who left me this:
I don't know why it is that if you are AA, you think you can talk trash about AAs. You need to grow up. YOU are the problem. Most white people were offended and shocked by your comment. I do believe that you are a racist.
I wish you would have signed this so I could have responded you via PM.
I don't think I can talk trash about my own race. I was making a point and it worked very well. I'm sorry you missed it.
I don't believe I'm the probelm as I oppose any special program offering special treatment to any race. We are equal as this is America.
I need to grow up? That's your opinion and I'll respect it but at the same time I must be doing something right. I am financially responsible, have a great family, recently purchased a very nice 5 bedrooom new home and provide my family with everything they need. This is inconsistent with an adult that lacks maturity as maturity is relative to responsibility in many ways.
White people should have been shocked and offended by my comment. It means that my point came across as it was intended too.
I am not a racist.
