This thread is but a small example of why race will almost always be a factor in America and why things may never change for the better....

- There is ignorance on both ends of the table.
While it's very true that there are black people that would rather live off of government assistance rather than do for themselves, the same can be said about white people as well. I think it's a stretch to insinuate that black people as a whole care nothing about being self sufficient.

- I think it's ridiculous that white men view themselves as victims because of issues like affirmative action.Some of you preach about how equality will not be attained until people stop expecting special priviledges, so you complain about blacks and their so called "victim complex" but yet you're doing the same thing by blaiming a group of people for whatever opportunities or god given rights you feel you are entitled to but not receiving. Practice what you preach. Is it so far fetched that a person of another ethnicity or race could possibly be more qualified at whatever the issue at hand be?

-God forbid that CNN show a different side of how the average black American lives, as opposed to showing only the negative stereotypes, which we're all used to seeing on a daily basis.

Is it really affecting your ability to live day to day? Keep you up at night? Making you so sick that you can't function....I'm willing to be that the answer is no.
