Here's how I look at it.
To me, complaining about shit just keeps it alive. I could care less if there was 50 black-only TV stations. If a black guy runs a black-only station, more power to him. I hear a lot of people saying "well at least MLK was good for one thing." Damn how many holidays do we have that celebrate white folks. Waaaaaaay more than black folks.
I've also been the white kid in "black only" areas. When I first moved here from LBC, I lived on Covington Hwy(right across from Target/Mama's), I lived behind Columbia Mall, and I lived in Avondale. I went to Candy Cane daycare center on Columbia and Glenwood. Me personally, I've never had any problems. I don't know if I just don't look like I would be of a prejudice nature or what(maybe it's all the gang tats). Two months ago and then 2 days ago was the first time in my life that I was actually refered to as a "cracker" and a "dumbass white boy". Lolol. I just laughed. TO the lady that called me a "cracker", I told responded "representin' Saltine, baby." I could probably be the oddest thing you could see in a mall. A white dude that has a black daughter, a Japanese son and a white daughter walking around is quite the site. I'm proud of it, though. I'm good.
I do agree with the race card being used an awful lot. Stupid as it is. But I se eit both ways. White folks will do it to a black person just as quick. Quick to say "Stupid n---er wouldn't give me a loan. Probably cause I'm white." I agree with Brett in his opening post. I think there will be an assload of people that say that the cop that were to shoot this dude down was a rascist cop. Forgetting what the dude did to get what he deserved.
I don't know why, but I have never let a black person or what black people do, affect me. I let them be them and me be me. If it doesnt affect me and my family, then I'm cool. If it does affect us, then I look at it as a person messing with us, not as a neer messing with us. Life is too short to worry about trivial shit such as black/white. Later, QD.
