Other - Cultures & Groups - June 2007

Literacy, 70% out of wedlock births, high incarceration rate for our young black men, black on black crime, anti-education attitudes......

I know I will get a lot of flack for this (and I really don't care eitiher) but these things present a more pressing issue for black folks then racism.

When racism rares its ugly head, both black and white folks are quick to shoot it down.

Yet when the ills that plague my community are presented, it is met with silence.

Everyone knows that the black and mexican minorities hate white people. Proof is that you can find a black defenseless woman alone in a white neighborhood at night, but you will never find a white defenseless woman going near a black neighborhood, ever. White people don't do anything bad, but... somehow it's wrong for a white person to be a racist, but for blacks it's perfectly okay.
Note: I am not a racist. I just don't like poor people who complain they are poor and don't do anything about it. I don't like lazy people. And if you are poor, then go convert to be a jew. Then you will have money, and for god's sake, stop playing video games as if you were going to get a lifetime achivement award for it. You know who you are.

Have you ever been in a situation (the perpetrator or the victim) where racism was alleged wrongfully by someone from a minority. I am brown and one of my friends often brings up the issue at the slightest insult or innuendo by any white folk. Makes me think.

I'm seeing this everywhere, one of the main stereotypes of Britons is that we don't wash or clean our teeth. For most of us if we found out someone didn't do these things on a daily basis we would be completely disgusted! This is why I dont understand could someone enlighten me?

p.s. i know we dont have the straighest teeth ever but thats genes not dental hygiene, and we get dental treatment free on the NHS so wouldnt that mean we have better dental hygiene?
