What was the mouthy Brutha saying? The one who was so tough that girls were able to hold him back, LOL. Also, another black guy killed, who was rumored to be part of Grand Jury witness list.

Seriously? Link?

quote: Well you know what? In the grand scheme of events, white people hadnt been subjected systemic opression, discrimination and at times terrorism. Just how many world history classes have you actually taken? You're making bold statements that you have no frickin clue about what you speak of. Instead of making blanket statements like this, go read a book. Oppression? Really? Check out my paystub I don't receive shite from the federal govt but lose 30% to taxes to pay for someone else I don't even know, and they won't give me a picture to put on my fridge. And if you need a good book to start on, read about the farmers in Southern Africa. That's a start. And if you want to know about where slavery started, read about tribal warfare in Africa. And I you want to read about whitey getting hosed, check out the kings in Europe.

Okay angry Boy.

Actually in college, I took 8, if you want to include some of my English classes and an anthropology course I took.

Yes, poor people are not the only people that the government spends your money on LINK. Poor people aren't stealing your $, so allocate your misplaced anger else where buddy.

Slavery here, and what it's proponents did with it after the transcontential slave trade has nothing to do with Africa. It's a lazy and thoughtless arguement.

Far from it man... far from angry. Deeply saddened if you really care to know.

Ordinarily, I wouldnt count an english class as a history class because one deals with grammar and the other deals with facts that determine where we stand as human beings on earth. I dont know where I stand on an anthropology class because I took one and halfway through, they showed us a video of primates having secks, so yeah.. not sure what that was about.

Never said that. Re-read it. Your ignorant statement said that whitey has never, and I quote "experienced oppression... terrorism." I equate losing what I have earned as oppression... I dont know about you. Maybe I am the odd ball here. As you stated, you took history classes. Tell me the racial breakdown of the patriots during the American revolution. Tell me about what fueled that war. (For those that dont know. Whitey was attacked by whitey due to an oppressive ruler in England.)

Well this is just ignorant at best. Real talk. DId you take any economic classes? Supply, and demand? Without the supply, the demand ceases. You know who the supplier was? Africans. To say that this is a lazy argument is a lazy response. It's truth, and many can't and don't want to handle the truth. You know what, whitey sold whitey into slavery too... I accept that. You know what I haven't done? I haven't chosen to ignore the facts behind reality. I haven't laid on my back and be used by the government as a political chess piece to continue to shove an agenda that doesn't actually benefit me down my throat. I most certainly haven't labeled it "civil rights' issues. MLK stood up for civil rights. Because before that, blacks and whites couldn't be in the same room together. Your modern "civil rights" activists classified ZImmerman as a "white mexican" when they realized that he was in fact hispanic. Who are the racists now?

When the black community decides that they want to change for the better, and quit playing the victim, I will do whatever I can to support it because honestly, I am tired of having what I have labored for my whole life taken worth a grain of salt. If you really care to know, I grew up in Africa and all they have NOTHING, and have been oppressed by their governments their whole life and yet, they are not victims. Because at the end of the day, victims don't eat.
