Racism def exist, but it's not only whites that judge people by their appearance.
But some people are flying of the handle acting like the kkk is going to run around lynching people.

IMO class plays into an oppression effect much more so than race. Regardless of how media or etc portrays it. When people defy odds, they do that and shine because of how the odds can be stacked. Work, discipline & self respect are a key in any true success.
I think welfare oppresses all races but is more significant on black communities for some reason. I hear they are often chastised for bettering themselves and leaving, maybe from fear of family leaving, or guilt for themselves not doing it.

If you have ever been turned down for food stamps you didn't really need, or you feel like you deserve free college tuition even though you are able to work to pay for it, you are oppressed regardless of your color.

I am Hispanic, of the Cuban kind. My dad's side immigrated from there in 1958 just before Castro took office and fled to Miami. Eventually, my grandad started t work in the sugar cane fields in Raceland and they homesteaded Thibodaux where I was born. I grew up primarily in Columbus, MS and was the only Hispanic kid in my Catholic school there and in public school (went a country white boy school). I never noticed or perceived myself as different. I was never in trouble, sought out, abused, or demeaned by anyone.
I graduated with my Masters and Specialist's degrees from MSU and teach and coach here in Oxford, MS now. I own two homes, make good money and live a very independent life at 29.
When I see blacks and Hispanics complaining, I truly have no idea what the frick they are talking about. If you do you job in life and are willing to work and not blame everyone around you for your shortcomings, then you will succeed. But, we have created a society where failure is nonexistent. Everyone gets a trophy, everyone gets As, everyone must succeed....arbitrarily. Then, when these snowflakes become adults, they do not know what it means to fail. There are winners and losers in life. However, as children, these protesters never learned to cope with it. They can grow up and deal with it. If that is not the case, throw them in prison. We will not be subjected to mob rule.

Anyone can link it, but the ones performing these studies do the most convoluted studies to make the stats work in the manner they want them to. There is complete bias in them.

All I can say is that I wish more people could be like you and me, I'm white but I do know other blacks who agree with us that people are how they are. We know that bigots exist and bad things happen but it is not as common as the media makes it seem. Some may call us blissfully ignorant but I don't care, I take each person at face value and if they prove to be an idiot then I find a way around them if they stand in my way.

Black men and black women, as individuals, are equally as talented, capable and hard working as anyone else.
The black community, however, is its own worst enemy and is utterly incapable of getting out of its own way. The black community will listen to a black person telling them lies before they listen to a white person telling them the truth.

You mean you aren't afraid Donald Trump is going to come lock up you and your family in the middle of the night whenever he wants to now? What's wrong with you?
