One thing I notice about this site: anytime someone wants to say something derogatory about Black people, the racists and handkerchief heads come out and applaud the clear vision of the poster. RARELY, if at all, do i see any refutations. Why is that?

Maybe a lot of the more offensive posts get yanked so fast that no one has a chance to read them.

Hey Mom:

Whiney? Because I won't totally buy in to the "can't we all just get along" stuff? Sure, as a people we have made tremendous progress, no doubt. Is not the truth the truth?

Angry? maybe. gets me up in the morning.

Black Male? I AM!

Racist? I protest!

It says "no profanity, no personal attacks, no racism or violence in posts". OK. I'll play by the rules. I will point out hatred, bigotry, racism and violence in whatever post I read. Let's see how many people can keep up.

My sister went to CCNY. She was in the same class as Colin Powell. She recieved a wonderful education. It serves her to this very day. It is indeed a shame that the school has lost its edge for educational excellence, whomever is at fault. Hopefully, the school will regain its status.

I was waiting for some black guy to blame their problems on black women.

HEAD:
Tune in:
as you see, it took me a long time to stop laughing, so I can now intelligently respond:

:P

A colored woman who prefers white men is not considered problematic. A colored woman who prefers white men has enough problems of her own.
Black women are not my problem; I hold them responsible for none of the ills in my life. My mother, a Black woman from the Bahamas, taught me very well, despite her lack of advanced formal education. Black women have their own difficulties being Black, being women, wanting to be regarded as equals, wanting to be in good relationships, ect. I can hardly hold them responsible for any of my self made and society sponsored dilemmas.

As Always:
