Kanye West is a fvcking idiot. Millions of white, black people, people of all colors are pouring millions of dollars into charitable relief for those poor people in New Orleans. He's nothing but a pvnk ass trying to gain acceptance by the ignorant black rap crowd.
Imagine some white dude saying. "Everybody's feeling sorry for these poor black people in New Orleans. I think the government and the public is favoring blacks, and hates white people"
That person would be figuratively hung out to dry. But let a black rapper like west say it, and he's some kind of hero, and has white liberals kissing his ass while he's denegrating the white race.
I find it amazing that people are complaining about racism, when these fvcking thugs are shooting at the very people trying to bring them relief.....FVCKING IDIOTS. The police finally fought back, and blew their asses away.
I also wanted to mention how I love how some of these black guys talk about how they have to work twice as hard to get ahead because "whitey" is keeping them down. Under represented minorities gain access to higher education with lower standards than better qualified whites. That's a fact...how is that working twice as hard? Acceptance into universities should be based on merit, and qualifications period.
Trying to convince some people that racism comes in all colors, and not just white seems like an exercise in futility. As long as Americans are overly concerned with being politically correct, and not right, this will continue.
God bless ALL the people affected by Hurricane Katrina, whatever color they may be. The government was slow in acting, but it had nothing to do with race.
I'm proud to be white, just like the other posters claimed they were proud to be black. We're all Americans, and we're all equal.
P.S. When those idiots in Texas dragged that black man behind a pick up truck, it was truly an awful and disgraceful thing to do. The media coverage for that incident was world wide,
When the Wichita massacre occurred, there was certainly NO national coverage, and even limited local coverage. They weren't even charged with a hate crime!!!!!!!!!!!
What does that tell you?
The fact is that if you are african american and you want to say, not be an average joe, anyone can do that, but to truely live the american dream of enterpernuism, then yes, you do have to work 2 times as hard.
Anyone can get into college, it's one of the only politicly correct thigns in our contury.
however, me personally I never went to college.
I am speaking from personal expericnce.
I had a scholorship offer to the University of Arkansas, University of texas, pretty much every small college in the state of arkansas and most were full paid. Yes, the fact is that in high school, if you do your work, apply yourself, you will get EVERY opprotunity that is given to a white kid, I am not denying that. That's why it's a shame that there is so much poverty in the african american community.
But when you get OUT of college, and you try to get that High level entry position at that law firm, or get that high paying job right out of college where you are competing with white MEN, not KiDS, it's not level.
Try being an african american and walking in front of old white men asking for 6 figures for your company, and see how long it takes for you to get laughed out of the room, without evening seeing what the company is about.
I had a venture capital firm look up my company, came to find US... courted us for 2 months... Tell us how it would be beneficial for US to LET them give us money, presented all of their members of their venture capital firm... They even pretty much told us if we needed more money in the near future to let us know...
Only to show up to meet in person and while I was still in the lobby that they aren't taking any new firms at this time.
The venture captial firm was in california, we were in arkansas... they had never seen us, and I guess they just figured we were middle aged white americans. They even paid for the plane tickets and the hotels for us... but yet when we, or better yet i, showed up, they weren't taking any new firms.
There are AlOT of stories like that I could share... I would be lying if I didn't tell you that likewise, some old white men, who you would never think would, went above and beyond to hell us. Our bulding manager was extremely nice to us, give us a $6,000 a month building with no down payment and no credit, just asked to look at our bank statements and asked us do we honestly see any pittfalls coming up that could prohibit us from paying our rent.
lol, Chris Rock said it best when he said that the nation is run by a bunch of B and C students. Black B and C Students can't even get a manager job at McDonads, but a white B and C student just so happens to be the president of the united states.
Let me ask you someth ing..... Name 5 african american enterprenuers (without using google)
Not Rappers.
Not Actresses.
Not Puff Daddy or Master P, Rappers who just use their wealth to branch off into crap they really don't no too much about.
Actually entrepenuers (besides me).
Exactly.
that goes to attest how hard it is for african americans to acheve the same things that white people at the same level are able to do.
Do I think it's wrong. I don't think it's right.
Am I mad at white people for it and think we should get remprementions for it? No
I honestly think if more african americans educated themselves the problem would fit itself.
Like I said about 60 posts earlier, White people don't hold black people down, Black people hold black people down.
