We are not responsible for something that ended over 150 years ago. There exist plenty of opportunity for anyone who wants to work for it. There is no opportunity for those who wish to blame past ills for their own failure to achieve.

Semi-literacy is a serious disease. Is it contagious?

lindajoy Loc: right here with you....

Don’t put words in my post not there!! I don’t take it that I am more deserving other than to point out I worked hard and achieved based on my self motivation and I am proud of my achievements.. If that makes me better off than others, ohhhhh wellllllll..I earned it!!

And what BS are you claiming with fate being born into a better situation?? Am I to feel guilty because I was born by two beautiful people who raised me and my siblings in an envirnoment of strong love, instilling in us self worth, ambition etc???
I’ll tell you right now I don’t feel the least bit guilty of my home and family!! If anything I wish many had the teachings of my parents even you!! Do not cast negative anything on how I was raised or being better because I was born into a better anything!! We were taught love and the balance of life and to respect all.. Color meant nothing so please do not insult my parents you kinda piss me off with that assinine comment!!!

Ps~~ please answer my question.. Why haven’t b****s excelled??

There has been much unfairness in life for all common people..
My earier relitives have had verying levels of success in life.
I have much to be thankful for.

But the least of what we can do is to admit to having had the advantages we have had.
These advantages were at birth & continue today.
It has been not with out our personal involvement in our well being.
There is not a lot any of us can really do to fix it alone.
What true harm will come to any of us personaly in speaking out on the unfairness that has & is taking place?

How can we blame others for not carring a prper share of the load we all bear.
When there have been so many obsticals for them to over come from the effect of s***ery & the after effects of s***ery.
People have to survive with & under the problems they face,.
Some have & still face those problems.

Well it may not have been you or I that caused the problems but today they are our problems.
It is us that have to face the problem & find ways to undue the short comings of those who were a part of the problem.
The first thing we need to do is admit we have this problem.
Then try to come up with a way to fix it that we all can live with.

We have tried to use the crimnal laws to control it.
We ave lock up vast numbers of people of color.

They have found ways to servive that we as white people find threatning.
As long as we wish to not let them be a true part of our system.
Much of that will not change.

As white people we are finding our selfs as becoming disposable much in the way we have looked at others.
If we wish to retain most of what we have as important individuals.
We need to see others being seen as important individuals.
Failing to do that will only take much of our idividualality away from or self.

Why I keep doing this with so many that have closed their hearts & minds to the issues at hand I don't really know.

So many good people & things in the world.
But we still face those that would destroy so much of what is good to have more for them self.

We all leave little bits a pieces of what & who we are here on this site.

We are not fair to our self & others if we can not see the real good we all have in us.

Life goes on.

Life will go on with out us.
But it would be a true shame for it not to have seen the goodness that lays in the hearts & souls of so many of us.
We need to leave the good that each of us has to those that will have to clean up the messes so many of us are leaving for them to clean up.

If you are black no matter what crimes you commit, you are either excused or given lesser penalty. All the privileges now they have it. No one could stop them doing criminal activities especially at the government level. They are allowed to do all kinds of illegal things. Because they are protected by the word "race".

You sound like you feel guilty for being white. That's to stupid beyond words. I've had advantages because I grew up with a mom and dad who both worked. Worked all my life and went to college. Am successful but that's because I am white? Look you want to feel guilty go ahead but these statement s make you seem unhinged.

Unfairness is one way of looking at it or they can be challenges and opportunities as my Dad would say...

Unfairness is a part of life Floyd.. Set in motion to learn from those things I suspect.. We all have had what we define as unfairness and most eventually do learn from it and grow from it.. I had my share loosing my husband, a nephew and a father all within a year, then my mother 2 yrs July 28th..I felt them very unfair especially loosing my husband so young.. But in all that unfairness I learned more about life and how to push through it and still be happy..

Something you say right here is an absolute~~
“We are not fair to our self & others if we can not see the real good we all have in us.

Life goes on.”

Life does go on its the manor in which you chose it to go on that matters..

In all our strides to better ourselves it seems most of society is only out for themself until there’s a devastating storm or something... Then we see humanity take over and everyone works together doing wh**ever is necessary, color immaterial.. In all the devastation created “humanity rules”.. I see it as a constant reminder society is still intact for the most part and it motivates all of us to do just a bit better being grateful for our lives..

The nuances of life will continually be present. While we cannot change wh**ever they maybe we can hopefully become better because of it...

Cry me a river, Floyd. 250, 000 Americans died for that sin, costing untold billions in today's money...and the evil you speak of still exists...IN AFRICA. They're selling s***es every day in the markets of Libya thanks to Obama and Klinton.

We were getting along pretty well in the 60s and 70s...80s even. Then the race baiters had enough of that. No relevance for them there. So...now we're supposedly enemies again.

I'll tell you who the enemies of black folks are today. Liberals and Democrats who want them to ALWAYS BE DEPENDENT.



That isn't me. I was raised by the dope fiend I'm now having to care for in her old age. I grew up in a place where Jr High school kids were bringing guns to school. I had my first brush with the law in 3rd grade. I've been to prison twice and jail more times than I can remember. My wife was murdered by cancer after 10 years of marriage, during which time I really learned the potential to which I could rise. I raised my daughter by myself. I spent 5 years in Dutch Harbor Alaska working 12 hour shifts. One time I worked 90 straight days without a day off. I worked 2 fishing seasons before I went to work for the hotel there...owned by the same company. 12 hours a day, 7 days a week until the quota was reached.

I think you're dangerously close to making assumptions about people who will tune you out if they are unfounded. Is that what you want?



I think you're dangerously close to being condescending...people will tune you out.



...and? R********ns, of course. Cut to the chase, why don't you?



You're afraid of a racial war. You'd surrender to extortion. You needn't worry. That's what won't happen.



Abject fear...and 100% unfounded. Poor guy!

Floyd seems to be in a dystopian depression over something that will not come to pass. Black folks are getting S**K of liberal manipulations and are leaving the Democrat party for that reason.

BigMike Loc: yerington nv

Well said. It will be rejected by liberals, of course, who have to maintain the illusion they're winning something lest they go barking mad and the guys with butterfly nets have to come for them.

WTF? YOU JUST TRIGGERED ME FLOYD!!!!!!

I've counted to ten, and this BS post still scratches my ass!
I'm white, and everything with a few exceptions that are of only sentimental value that I have came from my own hard work, sweat, and even blood!
Who the hell are you to tell me that I owe some black, brown, yellow, oe purple person something just because I'm white?
I wasn't born into any kind of privilege, and have worked since I was big enough to push a mower, or run a snow shovel for everything I have.
Neither me, nor any of my ancestors has ever owned a s***e. Matter of fact, I have an original death certificate from one of my ancestors who died fighting for the Union Army.

I think maybe some of the mega rich black athletes, and celebrities might owe me since I was born into a crap situation, and worked my way to where I am now. Whoopie Goldberg, and Oprah damn sure have it better than me!

This thread is bulls**t, and way beneath you, Floyd. If you feel so blessed, go give your stuff, and money away, but don't preach to me about owing any person for anything I'm not responsible for!
