To me your comment is just another way to skip the fact that
Blacks was slaves. So I guess you are telling me in your slick
style that the Egyptians (Black), the Hebrews are (White), and
before Whites took Blacks as slaves...Blacks held Whites as
slaves? is that your point?
On this thread I see people like to post long ass drawn out stories,
but stories and facts with experience is completely different.
Now we are living in 2007 not back in the Hebrew/Egyptian time,
and racism is still alive and well. Blacks may not be in chains, but
we are in invisible chairs so to say, and if anyone should say that
Blacks are free...would you believe that? | Oh, for God's sake, get a sense of humor, would you?
And maybe if blacks would stop making themselves out to be such victims all the time they could break their own damn chains. Perhaps you need to take a lesson from Bill Cosby. Bill Cosby to Blacks: Stop Blaming 'The White Man' -- 07/02/2004 Chicago (CNSNews.com) - Bill Cosby pleaded with blacks to stop blaming the "white man" for their problems on Thursday, and he reiterated his harsh critique of the current state of African-American culture.
"It is almost analgesic to talk about what the white man is doing against us, and it keeps a person frozen in their seat. It keeps you frozen in your hole that you are sitting in to point up and say, 'That's the reason why I am here.' We need to stop this," Cosby said in an address before Jesse Jackson's 33rd Annual Rainbow/PUSH Coalition conference in Chicago.
The 66-year-old Cosby struck an introspective tone. "There is a time, ladies and gentlemen, when we have to turn the mirror around," he told the crowd of 500 people at the Sheraton hotel. . . . The entertainer has been at the center of a racially charged controversy since May when he ridiculed the poor grammar of some blacks. "I can't even talk the way these people talk, 'Why you ain't,' 'Where you is' ... and I blamed the kid until I heard the mother talk," Cosby said in Washington, D.C. on May 17, at an event marking the anniversary of the Brown v. Board of Education desegregation ruling.
On Thursday, Cosby urged blacks to take personal responsibility for their lives, and he hinted that social welfare programs may be having unintended consequences for African-Americans.
"The housing project was set up for you to move in, move up, and move out," he said.
And as far as racism goes, yes, it is out there. Terrible but true. And I've seen it bad from blacks, too.
