One day I was having a conversation with someone and wanted an honest opinion about what they thought about race relations. And the funny part about this is that I know for a fact that he has issues with black folks. Though he somewhat is admittingly a racist I still wanted to hear why.
As the conversation carried on he began to rant about welfare and how this was ruining the fabric of the country, and made people lazy and used this as the excuse on why immigrants come here and get businesses.
FACT: The difference between blacks and whites on welfare is neck extremely close. So next time someone tries to say black folk is dominating the system, tell them to research their information before making assumptions. CLICK HERE FOR STATS
This conversation had gotten heated for a moment and then he reverted by blaming Obama for the failures of the white people that had become dependent on the system, but the fact is this has been statistically true wayyyyy before Obama had become President. That's the racism coming out as usual.
Its unusual to think that people would be able to live in a world where we don't see racism. Being judged by the color of your skin and not appreciating what we ALL have to offer. See- when we maintain a status we as black folk will always no matter our status will always be the poor ghetto ass black people that has to home raising.
This is where you have to stop thinking about how people think about you and learn to love who you are and keep pushing to be better. Never allow anyone to detour you from your goals.
I went to the doctor one day and expressed some concerns about not being able to do enough to help my daughter get through school and her only solution was to take her out and send her to some JC.
It was clear to me that she didnt care, she just didn't want to see a young black woman being educated and possibilities of being more educated than one of the counterparts. This is something that you will run across daily. Wanting young black men/women taking to lower of higher learning while they fill these 4 year universities with their own.
