Some of the most prominent well known people in America are black. Oprah Winfrey - richest woman, Johnny Cochran - best known lawyer, Obama - possibly next president, Condi Rice - the President's whore. The list goes on and on, their is no excuse for the black man anymore to live in the ghettos uneducated and blaming the whites. Unfortunately, the most common thing you hear from black activists; the white man is holding us down! When will minorities realize they have the ability to do just as much as any other American if they put their minds too it.

Because the focus on their lives is still the color of their skin and not on their abilities. When you make just one thing about yourself the entire focus of your life you neglect the rest of what you are.

Yes there are some blacks who still blame the "man" for their poor lives however, there are many blacks who are fully aware that they themselves are responsible for their poor live. And, like anybody else who is human, they find a scapegoat for their problems. Then there are many blacks who don't blame anyone but work hard to make their lives count.
Just like the white race, the black race has lazy slackers who blame others as well as those who are ambitious. It's just that the white person does not use the "white man is holding me down line"; he has to find another scapegoat.

Not all blacks feel that way I'm sure. The remark you made about Condi is really uncalled for. You may not agree with her, but she's a successful, educated woman and to attack her character shows weakness on your part. Not all people are racists and not everyone blames whites for the shape our country is in.

I just things its a society thing. White people do the same to the coloreds. And also between other ethnic groups. Its hard to label the whole group of whatever color as being one way or another.

We are not any of those things at all. I have a question for you why are you so worried about black people? Why are you attempting to play the victim card? I do not live in the ghetto and never have. There is people of all races there. You need to stop really. There is no validity.

I'm not being racist, but it all comes down to I.Q., or lack thereof. There really can't be any other reason for their failure. Blaming the white man is just a way to shift the focus from the truth they are afraid to face. For proof of what I'm saying, click on the links I've provided.

Just more racism. People are still cowardly and stupid. No group of people is exempt of this charge...except maybe the saints.
