What a boring world this would be if we all looked alike. I wish there were more colors of skin to look at. Pink skin, blue skin, green skin, rainbow skin, violet and purple would be wonderful. Lets celebrate our differences and enjoy diversity. Look at all the different kinds of creatures on this Earth. There are so many species, we have't found them all yet. We can look forward to people from other planets looking different than just skin color. Wouldn't we forget about our colors then?

Maybe it's because I'm from Hollywood, but I've never experienced or witnessed any racism. I'm white but have always been offended personally by the 'n' word.
I have seen the black community grow here in Los Angeles and they seem to be the middle class backbone. I taught high school and the black students were the most studious, polite, clean and well behaved of all students. Always in cute clothes too.
Their's are the families that stress education and success. They own well kept houses in very nice areas and participate in community activities and politics.
I would say it is the minority of them who still receive racist treatment. At least in my world.
I just moved into a 170 unit bldg that is 90% black and for the first time in my life I know my neighbors and have made real friends. Quite a refreshing change.
I'm Jewish and I don't keep throwing it around that my people were slaves and were baked in ovens... I wasn't there.
People still hate Jews, I don't even think they know why.
I know it's more difficult for blacks because they know that people will always see their color first, just like when we see a fat person, we see the fat first.
If they would stop talking about how their ancestors were slaves, some of the people with those enormous chips on their shoulders would chill out... hopefully.
We're all just people who want to have peace of mind and a comfortable life. Why should anyone care what anyone else looks like?

You need to quit feeling sorry for yourself, i do believe the problem is for one disgusting degrading rap music that portrays different ethnicity's in such a negative manor and children listen to this crap and think that's how they should act when they grow up. Second, i have been in the same type of situation you are describing only the opposite and amazingly enough i heard more racial slurs and just general racism towards whites so don't act like life owes you something we are all the same, we are all AMERICANS and and the only thing holding you down is you. P.S. there is a spell check tab at the top right corner of this box you should check it out sometime!!!!!

Nobody deserves anything in life, You must work for it. Stop buying into the white man is keeping you down and pull yourself up. There are plenty of Black role models out there who have done it. Ben Carson, Michael Steele, Oprah for God's sakes. Don't expect anyone to hand you anything. Stop buying into tyhe lies of Jessie Jackson and Al Sharpton.

As long as there are people like you who continue to want to play a race card for every issue you can think of, then you are going to keep the thought alive.The majority of "white" people are not racist.The black community have more rights today because of the republicans.Study your history (white) history man...Read about all the presidents in office that were republicans who were for the black race.Your democratics in office keep black issues in the forefront because it is always a race card to be used in an up an coming election.........check your facts, please. You do not know of what you speak! Since Africa sold its own people to
america for trade back when, They were automatically used as slaves during that period in history........That was then. This is now. The black man is holding himself as slave today in his own mind because of his parents and grandparents not letting them forget where they came from...........And that is a good thing....But get on with life now. Its good....Be somebody llike the rest of us want to be.............black and white, and asian and hispanics, etc............come on already....we are tired of the race crap................And way back when,when the blacks were slaves, you don't have any idea how important they were to the plantations, and their masters. They have gone down in history as slavers.It was an important time in history...Blacks should relish in that.They were more important than their people today have any idea...Lets all celebrate as a people united and get on with life together....And by the way,......Black people are sometimes more racist than whites or anybody.Just listen to a black person talk about a white person....its not nice..

First of all, don't call me a rascist cause I'm a member of our communities diversity summit, and have friends of all nationalities. But you really have to realize that you're putting yourself down by saying that. Even if everyone was oppresing you, SHOW THEM UP, go make something of yourself and then laugh at those who tried to hold you down. In my experience, I think your demonization of the "white man" shows more racism.

Blacks do not worry. You are the chosen one. God always fights on behalf of oppressed and slaves. Do not see you skin but your conscience. Keep it clean and u will enjoy happiness. The selfish white cannot save itself from the wrath of God unless it starts loving everyone.
