"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

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.

anyone who uses the white/black situation in south africa is quite misinforment.

white settlers were in south africa before the blacks. they (the dutch) populated it.

later, the blacks immigrated. yada-yada, aparthied happened, the blacks took the land from the whites, and drove the country into economic ruin.

well, it's getting there.

um, are you serious? being racist to any race is wrong.

yes i'm serious. so what?

That is SO not true. Africa (except north africa) is the black continent. Where in the world did you get your facts from? The blacks took the land from the whites? Are you serious? With what? This is shocking. Please show me where you got your facts from.

The dutch people COLONISED south africa.... Dutch people are originally from Holland not from south africa...
