DIsclaimer: This question is sincere; it's not meant to irritate anyone. Anyway, I have often heard how Blacks need to "get over" slavery and stop blaming all of their problems on slavery (or racism). I've heard many Black folks talk about slavery and racism with each other, but I've never heard a fellow Black person blame all (or even most) of his/her problems on slavery / racism. Is there a significant # of Black folks who do this (apparently somewhere I don't live), or are accusations to this effect all just a lot of hype?

I live in Maryland and the weather is back and forth between hot and cold. It's October! I think the world might be ending soon. The Bible talks about in the last days weird weather and craziness in the world. Come on think about all the crime in this world and 13 and 14 year olds having babies. Somethin's up in the world. I've seen on documenteries that within a decade or so the world will flood because of global warming and melting ice bergs into the ocean. I was just wondering if I'm the only one that consider ths stuff.

To summarize she basically stated no one at her job would or wanted to talk to her and she wanted to know why they would be so rude. My answer, from personal xp, was if I find 1 person that doesnt like dealing with me I wonder whats wrong with them BUT if I find MANY people that dont want to deal with me I tend to look at myself and see if I have some type of issue that would cause this to happen. For this I got quite a few thumbs down. Not that I care really about the thumbs down but it did get me thinking... are people really so arrogant as to think they could not be the one with the problem? And to the other thumbs downers, are they really so full of pc bs that they would rather another give an inane but placating opinion just to avoid hurtful feelings?

How is anyone to mature and grow without ever getting any REAL feedback?
