^ i was thinking that the other day in class when we were arguing about all this because people kept telling me how i should feel based on how they would feel. they also didn't understand why i'd "feel" the need to be defensive. no need for me to be defensive while 30 white people tell the only two black people in the class what it's like to be a minority cause going to a school that's 70% (probably more) white they know how it feels to not be in the majority at all times in ever race debate in any class /angryblackman but anyway since i'm black and know what it feels like to be black. i'll say again that i wouldn't want a check in the mail, unlike dumbass PurpleDaze112 Gee thanks for calling me a dumbass. |

It's the kind of thinking that allows our government to take control. Anyway, I understand why you would feel the need to be defensive, however the belief that you're different is what causes racism in the first place. Gee thanks for calling me a dumbass. No-offense, but after everything that has been said you pretty much deserved it. You made yourself look like an idiot. Everyone who posted subtly pointed it out, you're only responding now because JC hit you on the head with a sledge-hammer(personified... lol), and I still don't think you realize that you're an idiot for saying the following: QUOTE I personally don't think I deserve reparations for having slaves that were ancestors. It's just a great way to get instant cash simply for being black. This statement not only made you look like a moron for saying "having slaves that were ancestors", but it also made you look like a lazy piece of scum for saying, "a great way to get instant cash simply for being black". |
