Remember the Black Panthers blocking polls in Philadelphia?

It certainly doesn't come off that way and you didn't help your case by moving to one of the most xenophobic places in the USA. Not that that really has anything to do with this at all. You've never seemed to be one who could fathom walking in someone else's shoes for any amount of time. You're very happy in your world. I just think it's too bad that you won't really try to see things from another person's perspective.

Wanna know something funny? My boss is black! Guess what else? I have HUGE respect for him because he's busted his ass and actually made something for himself rather than sit around and bitch about how unfair life is.

Also, you're damn right I'm happy in my world. I actually went out and EARNED what I have and made a life for myself. I don't sit around bitching about how unfair this or that is.

I'm starting to believe that you simply lack the character to tell us why we're wrong for what we say, and what we prove on an almost daily basis in this forum, as to what is wrong with this country and our society. The only thing I ever see you use as a debate tactic is more or less saying "you're wrong". No different than Tom has ever done except you use bigger words. Next thing you'll probably tell us that we should be providing constructive criticism rather than being negative all the time. There may very well be light at the end of the tunnel, but I'll be damned if we haven't just entered the darkness.

Read my last post that I specifically targeted at Chris, but please don't dilute it down to me just saying you guys are wrong and I'm right. I really do know that I can't just up and change people with words. Actions are even worse at trying to convince people. But the thing is, you don't have to provide any criticizm, constructive or otherwise. But this is America, and you can say whatever you want. It just REALLY helps when you listen and mull over the things other people are saying too.

By the way, would you like it more if I used stupid small words like fuck and bitch?

Speak how you will, but it's not going to change the minds of us who have our eyes open to life.

You never answered my question though: Have you entered the adult working world yet? Have you experienced first-hand the injustice against the black man in working America? Every company I've been with since college has employed multiple minorities and not a single one of them felt they were entitled to a certain job; they worked just like the rest of us to get to where they are.
