We all our living people who deserve to be created equal. No matter what race we are we still have the same exact features... a beating heart and feelings. We are no better than the next guy. And Jesus created everyone, we are all his children no matter our color. it makes me mad that we treat people so horribly just by what happened in the 1950's. If there was no such thing as racism or slavery back in the 1950's no one would have a problem with each other. Why can't we just except the fact there is more than one color on this planet. There are many amazing black people that changed many things like Martin Luther King Jr... and there is also many amazing white people that have done some great things.... it's not a competition. We are all the same physically inside, it's time to grow up and act like a person who has morals. Don't judge someone based their color, base someone on their personal morals and what they choose is right or wrong. Remember this is my own opinion don't tell me what to believe and I won't tell you how to think. We are all equal in every way!!  <3 A White Girl ( I am no better than anyone else based on their color, I am just me) Aren’t we all the same when it comes down to it.

Then sent to America bound in chains in the bowels of a ship for months on end. Systematically seperated from his home, language, family, customs, and made to do all these sacred things to him the ethnic mans way. Forced to stay stupid by refusing him education, giving him no civil rights, or human rights for that matter. Then have acts of terrorism performed on him. How many white men had to suffer while his home was burned to the ground? How many white men had to watch his woman be raped in front of him before his own demise? How many white men were beaten mercilessly before being lynched from a noose tied in a rope hung from a tree? How many white men built small civilizations (towns) in the USA from the ground up, just to have it leveled by fire? How many white men were experimented on biologically by his government as a test study? How many white men had to serve in the military, being thrown without regard onto the front lines of battle as a sacrifice just so he could have a chance at a fair shot in society? How many white men had to demean themselves on television cause that was the only roles available to his race in hollywood? How many white men were ever pulled over by the police and beaten, sent to prison and had his woman sexually molested (raped)? How many white men were ever refused a job anywhere because he was white? How many white men were ever refused service anywhere because he was white? How many white men were ever afraid of going to a specific place anywhere because his was white? How many white men had his ideas stolen from him so the ethnic thief could go and become rich off his ideas and hard work all cause white men didn't control all industies known to man? Anyway I know that you are but I hope you're not an American. Cause saying all this worthless crap about, "well when blacks say it it's all good, but if a white says it then it's immoral" and so on. Whenever white people have suffered even 15% of what the black people have then maybe they can equate themselves to us. Maybe when black people begin committing even 10% of the unimaginable atrocities that the white man has committed against us. Then maybe whites can begin equating themselves to us. Maybe when the white man is actually oppressed (which if my calculations are right won't be in this lifetime) they could possibly be considered to have the right to complain and equate themselves to the black man and the black plight in America. Notice the scenarios I painted in this reply are only things that the Black man has primarily suffered in America. My hands would cramp if I were to include the other Ethnic groups of this fine country. So study and make educated comments don't just let your mouth run. You may end up sounding like an idiot. Which I'm saddened to inform you (not really) you heinously perpetrated in this comment you left. Have a blessed life whoever you are and BLACK POWER! WHITE POWER! HUMAN POWER!

I will say this though; I think that white people are tired of being held to a higher standard than non whites. For instance, blacks can say or do anything they want as far as what they say but then someone like Imus makes a relatively harmless statement and he's fired. Blacks say "Black Power" and it's racial pride and whites say "White Power" and it's racism. I don't believe that blacks truly want equality because if we were truly 'equal' then they would be held responsible for their own actions and that's the LAST thing they want. If they were 'equal' then they would have to take responsibility for the demise of their communities, for the large numbers of blacks in gangs, for the large number of blacks in prison for murder for dealing drugs and the numerous other illegal activities they engage in. Do they really want equality???? NOPE!!!! I'm not saying that these Klan fools are right in any way, shape or form.

I think most of them are only good at spewing Nazi rhetoric and making fools of themselves. I will say this though; I think that white people are tired of being held to a higher standard than non whites while non whites say they want "eqality". For instance, blacks can say or do anything they want but then someone like Imus makes a relatively harmless statement and he's fired. Personally, I can't stand Imus but I have the freedom to NOT listen to him and he should have the Freedom of Speech. I love Oprah but I've heard her on at least two occasions speak about whites being unable to dance because of lack of rhythm. Both statements fairly harmless but the the white person suffers consequences while the black person isn't even reprimanded in ANY way.

It is not, despite what the McCain campaign showcased, the exclusive domain of the basest of the Republican base. It is pervasive throughout Michigan (whose "blueness," don't forget, comprises in part that uneasy demographic that the media refer to in code-speak as the "older white Democrat"); it is pervasive throughout the United States. Obama will be, among other things, a potent national symbol, but effecting real, lasting change has to happen on the local level. Racist neighbors? Talk to them. Racist city councilmen? Protest them. Silence and complacency are no longer options. Racism is not the exclusive domain of the South.
