BLack Men

[n9newunsixx5150]

Now that we have that cleared up...

The lines separating the races of men are becoming more blurred everyday. Whereas children of mixed decent were speckled only here and there in my youth, they are everywhere I look today. In tv shows, videos, movies, and commercials. And that's a good thing, an evolution of a new culture if you will. At it's heart, racism is nothing more than primal fear. Fear of the unkown or unfamiliar. With the advent of the internet, cable tv, and the commercialism of the Hip Hop culture a newer generation of Americans is emerging. A less fearful one.

No, I do not pretend to view the world through a pair of rose tinted glasses and I'm quite aware we are not that far removed from the days of open segregation and blatant racial prejudice by the public at large and even our own government. But, some strides have been made and none can deny this. We will always have our racial elitist who believe that the mixing of races should not be and this is fine. For them. Just don't insult myself or my family by dragging us into your tiny frame of mind with blanket statements.

Who are you to judge me?

I like your perspective.....

but Heresy is on point when he says that this nation was built off the backs of blacks and mexicans, or when he says that this

You sure about this? As far as American history goes the Native Americans were the first to become indentured servents and then came the Irish. African Americans first came to America not soon after. They were first indentured servents. The African Americans worked along side to side with the Irish were indentured servents. Soon after the African Americans became slaves while the Irish assimilated in to mainstream America, only because of their skin color. Then the Chinese came over and built the railroads. Then of course there was the Plymouth and Jamestown colonies which were founded by the first English settlers

What did the Mexicans and the African Americans did not "build" this country solely.

Just thought I would point that out.....
