I agree wholeheartedly. the sub- culture of victimhood needs to stop. I think many black leaders are betraying the black community by urge it on, creating double standards. See, what happens when some one (or a large group of people) get in the mindset of being a victim, that person (people) become disempowered. Now, in cases of actual discrimination or when some one in the public eye spounts off with blatently racist remarks, that is the time sto stand up and gripe. Othwerwise, it's time to support yourself, your family and your community. Personally, I think the scariest thing for scumbags like the KKK would be if said leaders began preaching more responsibility and less victimhood. Racism is racism. There should be no double standards. Yes, white privalage exists. So does black privalge. Neither are right. And frankly, people who condition fallowers to think like opressed victims of a powerful nearly imovable conspiracy are doing much more harm than good. I go even further and suggest that a haldful of the most popular (and more rediculous) black "leaders" aren't working for the people they say they do. Think about it.
Good question. Wihout getting into affirmative action, there are some things that American culture allows black people to do but not others such as utter racist remarks or place whoop and hollor in restauronts. Ofcource, the black people I hang around with don't whoop and hollar in restaurants, and there arw white hillbillies who do the same thing, but I find that if a group of black people are doing it, people are lest apt to ask them to quiet down. I think it's becaue white people in particular are afraid of being called "racist". Yes, being racist is a backward way of thinking, and I don't want to be thought of as a racist, but so many of us get all flustered and scared of that little word. Let's face it, sometimes is fun to accuse white people of being racist just because of the raction. HAHA Okay, that's another topic, but it is.
