Being black..., ...Is no excuse for failing. Options

[Kontroll]

Listen, I'm not racist. I'm just bringing up a topic that I know is on alot of people's minds.

Everynow and then I see these movies, or whatever...people saying that black people can't get anywhere in life because they are lazy, or because they are black they can't get anywhere in life.

I was sitting infront of Jeremy's house waiting for him to answer his friggin door. I was thinking about Albany(Where I live for the most part) and how it's just run down. Most of the people that live there are black.

I was thinking about how I see all this crap about how black people always say they might as well as just give up and deal with what they got. In movies, or even in real life. It pisses me off because the color of your skin does not affect your brain at all. It's an excuse and not a reason...

...if it was a reason then every black person would be in poverty. Is this not true? And you can't blame it on your environment because there have been many black people who have over come it. So, why do some black people just give up and don't try to succeed?

I know not only black people do it, but I'm just bringing this one up first. I'll talk about white people some other time just to be fair.

Input please. If this is in the wrong forum, just move it. Thank you.

I don't think they know why he did what he did, since he kept saying - "I don't know" me personally, I don't think it was video games that influenced him I think he was just screwed up in the head or he really was bullied...depression could be another result since depression affects so many people world-wide and different people react differently to it. who knows.

If you've read my other posts you would know I'm one of the few people that was stating that doesn't believe video games or movies promote violence...I don't...I think every person has there own brain and how they react to things, they know right from wrong...ect..

He may have only killed 2 kids and injured quite a few but it's still violence and it was still committed and if I remember correctly he also got like 111 years in prison or something like that for what he did.

What is the un-holy trinity?

Right, I completely agree with you... ;P

Erf... alright, well I guess I haven't read very many of your posts, and seeing as how aggressive this topic is getting it's really easy to make quick judgments. I do agree with everything you said though. :p

Well, I think they should have executed him instead of wasting my tax dollars to keep him alive. That's an entirely different issue though... XD

I sent you a PM
