Mr. Johnson wants to know. Are blacks still oppressed in America?

Question

Mr. Johnson says no. A very firm no......Mr. Johnson most assuredly says that blacks are no longer oppressed in America.
Any non-competitiveness and inferiority is solely an invivisual and family responsibility. Anything less is a copout. Our Black folk
have an overwhelming burden of responsibliity, and the sooner they accept this and take on that mantle, the better off we all will be.
You have complete and total freedom and responsibility for your own development, my fellowman................
take it and make Mr. Johnson proud of you!

Mr. Johnson just met Don King at noon today, and is not making this up. How COULD he make this up?

Mr. Johnson sys that there will never be
100% banishment of racism. Don't forget
asian-on-asian prejudice(Japanese-Korean)(Chinese-japanese)(Hindi-pakistani), and even numerous african tribes that are killing each other without the white mans help......let's never forget that the black man doesn't need the white man to succeed.....he can do just fine on his own, thank you very much

papeche, you write very well...you should elaborate that story and write a book about it......i sincerely mean that..

Answer 1

I'm white.
growing up, I lived in a projects for a few years that was 99% black.
There were problems for me on the sole basis that I'm white.
I didn't understand then, nor now.
then I lived in a white majority town for a while.
I could see the prejuices,
but then
I married a black woman,
and moved to midwest ohio.
do you know,
I get more people follow me now then ever.
I work third shift,
once, I was employee of the month,
and I Was shopping with my wife in the middle of the day,
I got security called on me.
( now, I don't dress sloppy, and neither does my wife)
in fact, I am familar with our security measures, and I didn't exibit any of the things you make look for
( coats in the summertime for example)
i tell you, that never happened when I was single.

is that the end all- be all?
no,
I think some people abuse the system,
and when looking for an excuse, any one will due as long as its not my fault,
but I can tell you from both sides of the racial divide ( or whatever it is ) that there are still people on both sides that treat others unfairly based solely on 1/2 of skin coving their body.

Answer 2

I believe that if Mr. Johnson was in Chicago at noon today then he could have met Don King. During the past few days, Mr. King has met a great many people associated with the upcoming WBA championship in that city.

Answer 3

The only people that are oppressed in this day and age are the low and middle income people. Big business and government have set it up so that we as a whole are never going to have the ability to be wealthy. It does not matter one bit if you are white , black, yellow, brown or red. Its all about the money.

Answer 4

Mr. Johnson I haven't heard from you before but you speak the truth. We are all black, white ,yellow,brown or pink with purple polka dots the same and we are all responsible for ourselves. Racism will always be with us unfortunately but we must all strive to be the best we can be.

Answer 5

My eye accepted practitioner is from Ethiopia, my accountant is from Jamaica and the lady that owns the position the position i'm getting my hair decrease is from Haiti. i don't think of Rev Wright education his human beings that they are going to continually be sufferers is nice for them. Even B T Washington stated that some black human beings opt for to keep the N egro down because they made a good living at it (Sharpton/Jackson/Wright). All 3 of them live very extreme on the hog.

Answer 6

Silly Mr. Johnson. Try living in a primarily white city and trying to get a job, then talk to me about oppression.

Answer 7

I think it depends on where you live, and the people who you live amongst.
In some places there is very little oppression, in some places people are still burning crosses in people's front yard.
Hopefully one day all people will realize that God created all man, and he wants everyone to treat each other as family.

Answer 8

Well I guess we all know your either an optimist, or a guy that's looking for a fight.... If your an optimist, good for you but hey let's face it, maybe your going to find yourself in at least a few situations where you'd better "wake up and smell the coffee", and if your a guy that's looking for a fight--forget it. I'm tired of answering people like you.

Answer 9

Mr Johnson, it would be nice if you could you bring your word to Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson and Senator Byrd and bin Laden. They all appear to want the races to stay separate and angry at each other.

Answer 10

Yes, blacks are oppressed by the stupid liberal "civil rights" laws, such as affirmative action, which keep many at a deliberately low standard of living and keep them from reaching their full potential.
