The truth is that the person who is the biggest attention whore and screams the loudest gets the most attention. Hell, you can see that right here on GFY. Right now, the media has decided Al Sharpton is their go-to guy for all things Afr-Amer opinion related. It's not like someone took a vote on it or even asked if we agree. |
that's why i said it's to bad. I completely agree with you, and i find it outrageous that in the end, it's black men that continue to cultivate hate and fear in the country of america.
My buddy is really sensitive about racism and for good reason. My opinion that he's SO sensitive about it, he's racist himself, and i find that really sad.
It isn't just these figure heads.. the only media driven figure heads that don't cultivate the misguided view of afi-amer racism is sportsmen. You have comics and rappers using terms that they wouldn't accept my saying them.
Seriously, how right is it that i can sit at a dinner table with the majority of afiamer, joking and laughing with the n word flying about, and i am scared to death that i'm going to spurt it as it's the most constant word i hear
I have to avoid listening to rap music, because when i get angry about something, the first word that comes to mind is "n i gger', and it doesn't have anytyhing to do with black people.
I'm saying you guys have a problem. We have a problem
