I did not feel that way in 1995, but I sure as hell do now. Thanks to people like Obama.
Yep, after decades of preferential treatment and being given every opportunity to succeed, the Black community is still screaming discrimination and blaming every social ill that has befallen them on White America. Obabarama was/is right. I couldn’t care less at this point.
I too am becomming more angry and more bigoted. I do not think any one race is superior to another, so i am not a racist. However the “black-africanamerican” culture is what I hate. Violence, entitlement, apathy, lack of responsibility and “gettin’ over on the system” in and out of employment.
I am being told now that the marching I did for equal rights in the late sixties and the integration movements I was part of in the 70’s didn’t matter diddly....I am still a “typical white person” ( said with disgust and disdain ).
You are not moving us all ahead Barry Obama ...you are moving us BACK! Back into the racial divide. BAck into pushing the ‘white guilt”. Problem is, all those “whiteys” that wanted to move forward in the 60’s and 70’s, including those Jews that you hate that died in Mississsippi for your “cause”.....well, guess what? Go it alone now!!!
Congratulations, Barry Hussein Obama...you have done what sharpton and Jesse never quite could...you have divided white and black AGAIN!
I spent the entire 1990s in the San Francisco Bay Area, working and also going to graduate school at Cal. The amount of opportunity in this area over that decade was astounding. I saw with my own eyes who took advantage of that opportunity and who did not. The truth of black poverty is simply different today in 2008 than it was 40 years ago in 1968. Those black folks in the Bay Area who are under 40 today grew up without legal segregation or discrimination and benefited from affirmative action. They also have lived in a place that enjoyed great diversity and open-mindedness and experienced an economic expansion the likes of which the world has rarely seen. That there are huge swaths of unproductive, impoverished, disfunctional and criminalized people after such a period of opportunity when every other group succeeded far more than they did points to an internal, cultural source for their relative failure.
