I can sympathize with the fact that black guys got fucked for a long time. Great. Fine. I understand.
But at the same time, I never owned any damn cotton fields. I never made your grandfathers pick the shit. I ain't repressin' no one.
As a black man today, you aren't being chained and beaten and ass fucked and forced to pick cotton down in Mississippi. So I fail to see the justification to alot of the whining that stems from this.
Was it wrong to fuck over the blacks like whitey did way back when? Sure. Is it still going on? No.
I do have to agree with l2r4u's (somewhat bedraggled) view in the case of what's good for one side should be good for the other. After all, it IS equality everyone is always bitching about, right?
But the fact remains, the sad truth of it is, yes.... if you are brave (or stupid) enough to stick up for being white these days, you will be labeled a racist. Black is beautiful.... but don't speak of "white" unless it's to point out how fucking evil we are.
Hence, this division in my viewpoint most times leaves me no other option but to simply keep my mouth shut on the issue.
