Who the hell thinks the KKK runs corporate America? His bullshite statement was directly at conservatives/Republicans. He basically called the republican party the KKK IMO.

quote:
You don't think Aaron may be holding some resentment especially against people who discriminate or who are racist?

Sure, but those people are not around him anymore. He gets no more hate. I guess he can choose to continue being bitter about it, but it's probably best to let it go and be happy. Just my opinion. But it's made him racist himself. He needs to stop acting like only whites are racist. Blacks are just as, if not more racist than anyone else.

quote:
now that he says a few sentences in his old age to vent, he's a racist.

Well, if you read into his statements. Or you could choose to just ignore them and pretend he didn't show his arse a little bit there.

yeah, because it's corporate america that's holding the blacks back.

I never said that & that's not what Aaron meant. He said nothing in his entire interview that hinted that corporate America was holding blacks back. All he said that is it's easier for a racist to hide & look like successful members of society all the while having their bias & sterotypes.

Omg, really dude? He never said ANYTHING about the KKK running America. He just used them as an example because they are know as the biggest racist group in America.

It's so easy to talk the talk without having to live a day in this man's shoe & having gone through what Aaron did. You don't have a clue about the effect the mental fatigue his chase for Ruth's record & the chaos surrounding the chase had on Aaron. You didn't live it but I guess that makes it easier for you as an outsider to say get over it.

There are racist on both sides of the fence. That wasn't where the interview went so there was no need to address black racist at that point. The interview wasn't done to please you or what you wanted to hear. Aaron addressed things he went through & how they appear now.

The bigger problem nowadays is that any black person especially an athlete or celebrity mentions any thing involved around race relations then they immediately labeled as a racist or race baiter. It seems like the eyes of some whites that since the civil rights movement occurred, believe that it did away with any & all differences between the races which is simply not true. Things have gotten light years better but there is still a ways to go & both sides can get better at handling certain situations.

I guess the blacks & whites who fought & stood side by side for equally were the greatest racist & race baiters this country ever saw right?

I love it when white people feel the need to tell black people what their life experiences are and how to handle them.

Thanks for informing all of us poor, ignorant negroes on our lives, how to live them, and how to handle adversity--that is in the event that you inform us of whether we are facing any.

Thank you, Wise White Massa.
