It is a struggle for life, period, nowadays. It seems not to matter much who you are anymore.

I do to an extent. Alot of the struggles we have now, we created; bc in my opinion, black people have a lot more opportunities (i.e. the right to vote) afforded to them now opposed to 400 years ago, that they dont utilize and therefor at times can suppress there own race. We can only blame the "white man" for so much of the regression and the deterioration of our race and our communities. We as black people know we already have strikes against us, one of which is being black, but rather than capitalize and build, we handicap and tear down what our forefathers fought so hard to construct so that we could exercise our "freedoms" (no matter how limited they may be) in all areas of our life, by CHOOSING to stay stagnate in a society that views us the weaker link anyway.

my people, your people? That is where the problems are. Back to the US and THEM thing. It is the sure sign of a races person. I am a white male and I know that a black man or any other protected group can take my job away from me just as fast as a pretty girl can. Sad but it is true that white males are not treated equal in most areas of life. Some day we will get equal rights.
And to think people that are getting everything handed to them are crying like little babbies thinking that one group of people (white males) owe them something.
Get over it you got more rights then I do.

It's hard to demand other races to treat us as equals when we don't treat each other as equals.
There shouldn't be a war between edcauted blacks vs uneducated blacks, light skinned black vs dark skinned or black men vs black women.
We know what it takes for others to treat us equal adn that;s proving to thew world that 50 Cent, Barry Bonds, Kobe, Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton and others don't represent all black people.

Well, we all hope that this kind of crap would be behind us in this day and age but people like Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton owe their wealth and images to the masses that still believe they need 'leaders' to guide them in life. Therefore, thousands of people are used, put down and kept down in order to maintain a political and social power base for a greedy segment of our society.

heck no. That's all bullcrap now. if the black community is sturggling it's from their own stupidity to keep on calling each other "ni**as* which AS WE ALL KNOW originated from ni**er! And they decide to show their butt cracks to everyone and speak improper english.
Get your heads out of your butts and actually do something for society.
