I don't know what it is, but whether you're racist or not, there's no denying the fact that there are more "African-Americans" in prison than whites. Same applies to the percentage of Americans that rely on the government to pay their bills and put food on their plate.
No, I'm not racist, so don't email me and call me names. I'm just observant.
SORRY!!! It's the truth!

the color of your skin does not make you lazy or prone to crime. Every race has an individual that is an example of both. Most people fall into those categories because they don't know better or have been running with the wrong crowds. The decisions made by ANY individual is a choice!!!

Not sure, but I just saw a suntanned (colored) caucasian attempting to rob a bank. Now that's just lazy. He was too lazy to complete the job of robbing the bank and couldn't get the door open because it opened from the outside. Also, the fact that he was attempting a robbery is still considered a crime. Who still uses the phrase, "colored people?" Do you have crayons or markers? Is your name JOe Dumas?

Our jails are full of every size shape and color you can think of.And the employment lines the same. Do you honestly believe there is a gene that makes you act a certain way?

do whites posses a gene which enables them to take credit for which they didn't do, most of this country was built on the backs of minorities (colored as you put it), the next time you ride the train, just remember, "Coloreds" built the tracks, the next time you put on your clothes just remember a "colored" sewed it, next time you bite into a piece of fruit, just know that a "colored" picked it, When you enter your house just remember that a "colored" helped build it.
Crime and laziness have nothing to do with color, it has to do with economic position, poor, disadvantaged people are more prone to violence (just like trailor parks, which are predominately white)

no , in fact, as far as genes go, there is no such thing as race. if you look at the genes of white folks and black folks, you would not be able to tell the difference. many articles have been published about this, obviously your racism has blinded you from reality

Do white people posses a gene that makes then ask dumbass questions about BLACK people? YES!
Do white people posses a gene that makes them think that their race commits no crimes, all white people work, all white people are not on welfare, all don't do drugs of some sort? YOU WISH!
Why don't you just answer questions from now on. Asking is not your forte'!

nope. but they are the single most important reason that they still feel oppressed. they hold themselves back by blaming everyone else for what they cant have, but in fact they can have anything they want just like the rest of us if they work for it. yes there are stumbling blocks, yes there are nay Sayers, yes people will try to cheat you but this is not limited to the black race it applies to everyone. set attainable goals, work toward them and when they knock you down keep getting back up. it isn't easy but it is achievable.........
go man go

Well, that's so stereotypical.
~I think that "colored" people are very distinguish/standout in the crime and laziness poll, just simply because their color of skin.
~We tend to pay more attention to an "colored" criminal than an "uncolored" one, and it's just a way we perceives things.
~Actually, number wise, there are more "uncolored" people who committed crime than "colored" people.
