I don't know if this happened to anyone else, but in the aftermath of all of us I've been sitting back on twitter and facebook and friends are shocking me. Like people I went to school with through high school and some others. They just have me like :wtf: Maybe, our generation isn't as far down the road as we thought. I'm looking at some people like, "really, you fam"
Personally no one, on my feed made any such responses, but than again, the majority of people on my fb are my fam and people from multicultural backgrounds whom I worked with or were formally educated with(post secondary) sohh they know better. Everyone agreed this case was fukked up. Even though, I've had other friends(black) complain about how a vast number of their white friends, favored the verdict and felt justice was properly served.

Most of them have heard backhanded remarks, being the exception to rule of how blacks, normally act.

Real talk it's going to take a few more generations for this racial animosity to really filter through. Due to the nature of sensitivity of the issue, race is no easy subject to tackle. I remember taking history courses in during my freshmen year which had me on the verge of struggling a few people, coming out of lecture. Either way, with every generation that passes, diversity throughout this country is getting better.

Lets just hope these "creepy ass crackers" in the south hire up and die off.

I like how white people believe that racism immediately died as soon as Obama was elected president.

I found nothing wrong with this speech. Of course it doesn't really matter as evidenced by some of the responses here. Damned if you do, damned if you don't.

I fukks with here, but she came across to eager yesterday without much thought with the convo at hand. Annoyed me.

Id love to leave some love goo in her tho.


As for Obama's speech. :salute:

It was tame, but it was good and a change from his admonish black people movement.

lol obama speaking on this is uncovering a lot of covert racist who black people thought were friends. i hope more of it comes out because black people need to know that there is very little people you can trust out there especially regarding race in america.

That's why I think diversity in schools is a great thing. My elementary and middle school were both mainly black schools in an urban area so growing up I didn't even think about race or skin color, I noticed the most racist folks went to private mainly white schools, I could imagine when you haven't interacted with a lot of black folks it'd be much easier to be ignorant

While i know this is the only bone that the negro Obama is going to throw at black folk to appease them, the speech was overall good. Bu the fact he made this speech confirms for me that the DOJ will do nothing to get that scum Zimmerman arrested.

The DOJ didn't even take on the Sean Bell incident, so I know they aren't going to do shyt about this. Although, IF the government is truly trying to get race wars sparked, this would be an optimum time to achieve this.

But there will always be folks somewhere who hold the stereotypical racist view of blacks and will act accordingly, but they are in the minority,


NO, they are not in the fukking minority. Racist cacs are the MAJORITY. Young and old. Gay and straight. Men and women. They think blacks are less than them, no matter how well they are able to hide that racism in public.

So are you going to explain to me how Barack Obama became president? Since, the majority of whites are racist and all. Even the homosexuals... :russ:
