I would be even more offended if you were black. See it's certain things in this world that you just won't see unless you're black. For you to say some of the things you say are easier to swallow coming from a white man because yall will never know the truth on what it's like to be black BUT for a black man who does know and chooses to ignore all the unfairness and would even get to the point of slandering his people and ignoring key incidents in the past and present, would be the biggest insult and embarrassment that could come on this forum............................................................................................>D.O.G,i said a positive thing ...i believe everyone can do what they want,no matter what race...i see you still think i'm slandering blacks..thats' not what alot of other people seem to be gettin' off me or else i would've been labeled racist by EVERYONE in this forum by now....you think just because i belive anyone can make it that i'm ignoring the unfair treatment of black people and other minorities like MYSELF.......that isn't it,i agreed with your statement of every race...tell you the truth..i've worked with more lazy whiteboys than anything..most of the black men and women i worked with were very hard working and i wouldn't rather have had anybody else working with me....not because their black or white..because that person knows what he's doing and is dependable.....i really dont try to judge people on color..thats just superficial to me.Why should i care about skin color......this is the 2000's,i'm not 1 color,i've been racialy profiled by police plenty times myself,lets' see a cop slammed my face into his hood so hard i chipped my front teeth and my jaw/chin was swoll for weeks,i've been told because i don't have a spanish last name i'm lying about my identity,i've been threatned to be deported and i speak little spanish,i've been called a mutt by both sides of my racial backgrounds,i could sit here and dwelll on this shit till it drives me haywire.....which i used to do.....i felt like a second class citizen,straight up.....all i want to do is be me,i don't hate noone for their skin color,if i don't like you,better believe it's everything but that,and thats' real.I have talked to my black homies about this topic plenty times,they don't think i'm racist.....how can i be,how could i love a black woman and her family as much as i do,these people are BLOOD to me.It pisses me off that someone would really think i was racist.My white side of my family lives majority in kentucky,and guess what,all but 2 of my lil cousins out there are half black
