Part 2
These same people will try to vilify you when you call them on their racist tactics. As I’m sure we have all noticed our children black and white have developed a lot of similar characteristics, mannerisms, and social awareness to the changes happening. I refer to the Ariana Huffington, Rachel Madow, Dr. Boyce Watkins, Roland Martin, and others that are holding up that societal mirror.
I feel what we have reached that point in American history where a caste system will develop if we as a society allow it. You all know what needs to be done because you are being made aware daily.
LOVE AND BLESSINGS

Astute young women such as Yvette Carnell, Melissa Harris-Perry, and Mechelle Alexander bear a serious listen to. They have their finger on the pulse of the racist tactics of the twenty first century, and the evolution of these tactics. Back in the late sixties when I was passing through an elective sociology class we hit upon the subject of mores and the “racism” aspect. It was concluded in our class discussions it would take several generations of integration for racial acceptance among the populace. However, there would always be some sort of separation within our society. What I see has happened, the children of former Klansman, Birchers,and other separatist, are educated and running our corporate structures and local governments.

AS A BLACK CHILD I WAS “TAUGHT ” TO TELL THE TRUTH BUT ARE WHITE CHILDREN “TAUGHT ” IT IS ALRIGHT TO TELL “A LITTLE WHITE LIE “. DIFFERENT MORAL VALUE BEING TAUGHT CAN ONLY PRODUCE DIFFERENT ADULTS.

Minority just designates your NOT majority status in this country. I am not feeling your angst regarding this issue. I wish I understood it.

I have never called myself a minority. I always remind YT that they are the minority and they don’t like it.

Even Popeye got fed up! That’s when he said “that’s all I can stands, I can’t stand no more.” I watched the video too and Melissa was just fed up! I don’t blame her.

We are now in an era where facts don’t matter, the truth doesn’t matter, wrong is accepted as right, and making up one’s own “facts” is embraced as gospel. It has long been the case where Blacks are demonized just because of their skin color. Case in point, two or three Black people in conversation about a serious matter, it is reported as a threatening group, but two or three hundred noisy White people will be reported as engaging in a spirited conversation. Remember the reporting on Katrina, Blacks were “looting” but Whites were “helping themselves.” Will Black people ever be judged fairly or given credit in these United States of America? Not with the mentality of the republican brand of White people.

BEN. I agree with u. We as blacks need to stop referring to ourselves as minorities. I never have and never will see myself as somebody’s so called minority. h**l im a grown a*s strong Blackman not some child. These white devils love to throw a label on people of other races especially us blacks and we accept it without ever questioning it. Wake up Black people and start using your common sense. We need some
serious deprogramming. Anybody can be A devil but white folks are THE devil. History proves this.

Passion is passion. Neither one is crazy. I just don’t trust some in power, they tend to sling it around unnecessarily.
