"I wish I was White" Options

[mouse_3k]

Today, we had the special friday announcements on the TV. So theres this black girl that came from the heart of Africa. she is so whitewashed but we have this writing contest and the title is suppose to be *I Wonder Why* and she goes on the announcements and says "I wonder why im black. Why cant I just be white and fit in"

It pissed every black person in school and all the white people said it was only a joke. To me, it made me sooo mad. just because shes from the motherland and all and shes basically degrading the black population at school. now the blacks at school, there is about 20-30 blacks in a school of 1,200. Now I honestly think me and other black people have every right to be mad.

What do you think? If you are black, would you be angry too? if not state why

Everyone one is racist, almost everyone, to a certain extent. Whites being racist has a much more far-reaching impact because they are more often than not, in positions of power.

omg, you cant be that oblivious

Isn't it self-explanatory? There are more white people in managerial positions than black. It's not to say there aren't black CEOs, managers etc. but the status quo is what I said earlier.

White South Africans for example, many are racist {if you're comfortable with the word), they had much of the wealth although they weren't the majority of the population. In other African countries, whites make up less than 10% of the populace but own 85% of the wealth so in that sense, they are bigots who affect the lives of blacks and use "racism" and prejudice to their advantage.

Anyone can be a bigot, some are guilty of self-hatred but economically, socially, "racism" by whites can be far more damaging to society.

yes, therefore thats why when you guys in that white history month topic, are all saying "its not equal! blacks say racist stuff to us!" it not taken seriously because that doesnt have any impact on society at all. when whites were racist, it went down to the political roots, blacks had no rights, and were treated like crap. you wont see african americans ever having the power to take rights away from white people, i mean seriously you wont ever see black people having the power to make a law that whites have to sit in the back of the bus, or make no whites aloud signs on aboout every restaurant. the fact of the matter is, caucasions are the most dominant race in the U.S. yes,
this is a fact, black people know it, hispanics know it, Asians know it, and whites know it (at least ones that aren’t oblivious). discrimination usually goes all the way down to political roots, such as in the past. discrimination usually regards in the deprivation of peoples rights correct? i mean if you really wanna accuse of discrimination now-a-days, that in some way has to happen.
and tell me, what rights have african americans, CAN african americans take away from caucasions? im mean seriously, are you honestly saying they have that much power in america? i mean c'mon. i shouldnt even have to go there. but i guess i do with some people.
