i work in retail, and part of the job is keeping
an eye on customers to decrease shop-lifting...
and i don't mean following people around.
i mean generally watching your surroundings.

i've had more african americans scream "RACIST!"
at me than i can count  

i could care less if you're black, white, or lime green.
i think everyone else needs to get over it, too

 As a black person. I just want to say that all All Black people don't think all white are Racist. There are good White people just like there are goAll Black People do not think all white are racist. There are good White people just like there are Black People. What gets on my nerves is when one black person says something for some reason everyone tends to feel that all black people feel that way. For instance the Black Harvard professor that has been all of the news calling the police officer a “Racist”….. I don’t think that was Racism. I think he was doing his job then words were exchanged and  escaladed
.  ( I’m black)   On another note, I’m not going to sit here and say that there isn’t Racism in America. My first day of my Freshman year some kids thought it would be funny spray paint the N word on my door….. I don’t understand it, but it’s here. I like all People no matter the color. I just wish we could all treat each other with common decency. There is so much going on in the world can all just get along

I agree, the race card is getting old.  The Blacks think that there ancestors had it hard, at least they got to live.  My were killed for land and shoved out of the way.

Coming from a black man...I agree. People are quick to use the race card for every little thing. However, racism still exists to some degree. That we can't deny.
I say, if the police pulled you over, (especially in a northern big city) chances are u did something wrong or are acting suspicious

Can we please avoid blanket statements? I don't go around saying "The Whites are crazy for their coffee."

What?

[MarieRW2]

A blanket statement is a generalized statement that isn't exactly true. For example, "everyone has blonde hair." That's not true, is it?

My point was that not all black people think x and y.  We don't all think white people are out to get us.
