    Dear Bizznesschick1959

    I am sorry for your pain. If you made me guess, I would suspect you are a single mother, under 25 years old, packing some extra weight, around 5'8 have some offbeat name such as Blondii or Chantii or something and a low level functional job you inflate as much as possible to cover your insecurities.

    Sadly, this is not a racial issue, this is about you and the poor choices you made. You have posted over and over to this thread, your posts riddled with personal attacks, name calling and excuses why everyone else is to blame for everything. Why not log off for a bit, and reflect on the possibility that by screaming about these issues you are working people up and polarizing the issue. Please feel free to look up anything in this post that you don't understand, as I never completed the 9th grade, I will be unable to explain it any more succinctly and I have already wasted enough of other peoples time here..

      One more comment I couldn't help making. You verbally assualt Black men, white men, black women, white women, gays, homophobes, non-college graduates, people who live in slums, the sexually inadequate, All Americans, people with drug problems, etc and you say "but please, as a African American, I would prefer not to be stereotyped even by someone who happens to share my ???color???." What if we were just all AMERICANS, and we dropped all the labels and instead of stereotyping everyone like you have, you just logged off and went home and quit making the problem worse. Its ironic that you don't want to be stereotyped but that you insist on inserting the word African in front of your American culture. Racism will not go away unless everyone just lets it die.

      I did not mean METHAPHOR. But you know all whites use meth. Little slip there.

    What kind of culture is it when your Grandfather teaches you to throw rocks at Dogs?

    Sick of Thugs

    Well, well, I have finally taken you to the place I wanted you to be and you are too stupid not to let me manipulate you. I am going to tell you just what is happening here in the great USA;

    I am 1/2 African America, 1/2 Native American. I am the 3rd generation to obtain a master's degree in my family (My grandfather went to school with Jim Thorpe, I know you don't know who he is so do a google search on him). My children are the 4th, each being college educated.

    Let me tell you a secret, America is about Class, not race. We are in a global society and with your racist views, wealthy white people see you as white trash. I have an MBA/CPA and when my white clients see and hear your rhetoric , they call you white trash--to me! You have no redeemable or financial qualities to them, so I am the one who is invited to the Power lunches and cocktail parties because it is mutually beneficial. Sick of Thugs?, we are sick of you!

    My advise to you is--finish that GED, take a couple of college courses and try to be a productive human being, so you are not a tax burden on me and any other hard working person in American!

  • Posted By: tanner @ 12/07/2007 7:22:46 PM

    Not here hun. Whats typical is that comeback. (Oh you must want the black man). Thats easy. You are not looked at with lust. DISGUST or just (I cant believe they act like that).

    sixxsixxsixx. you are right on there. Asians are the smartest people on the planet. Some races are smarter than others,and they know to walk softly and carry a big stick. Making it is the best revenge and they do it without screaming,law suits or marches and set asides due to their skin colour.

  • Posted By: biznesschic1959@yahoo.com @ 12/07/2007 7:05:46 PM

    Wow Tanner: It sounds as if you (being he or she) lust after black men. Could it be that they wont give you the time of day. Typical!

    OOOh. are those little black boys the cutest little things you ever saw or what? The way they run around with they pants falling down. Just makes me giggle. And they mamas name them the cutest things.Ray Ray, Shay Shay. Rhyming things like that. It,s so cute. Ooooh and they love shiny things. Call it bling. They even put it on their little teeth. Oh and dont forget about those precious little hairstyles they like. They are better than watching The little Rascals. They are so cute.

  • Posted By: tanner @ 12/07/2007 6:18:55 PM

    OOOh. Those little black boys be so cute with their pants hanging down so low. And they mamas name em the cutest things. Ray ray. Shay shay. Those kinds of names. They like words that rhyme. Easier to remember. They love shiny things too. They call it bling. Even put it on their teeth. Is that not the cutest thing you ever saw.

    FVINCENT80:

    What are you talking about ???our men???, ???our community???, we are no longer on the plantation and identified only by the color of our skin. Most of us are educated working productive citizens and take offense to the word ???our??? and 'we'. White Americans have unleashed some to the worst crimes against humanity: treatment of the American Indian, slavery, the civil war, the gilded age, the great depression, Jim Crow, the Klan, assassinations of political figures, bombing of federal buildings, starting an illegal and immoral war in Iraq. All these atrocities taken into context, not one white person in this blog has the moral authority to chastise African Americans for anything.

    The racist in this blog are not really afraid of the so called ???thugs???, quite the opposite, they are afraid of the successes among African Americans. When you use the term ???we???, it gives them an excuse to focus on those African Americans with negative behavior so they can categorize us in the same arena, thus feeding their narcissistic supply. My advice to you: Be the best that you can be and do not identify yourself with negativity! If you want to help someone, so be it, but please, as a African American, I would prefer not to be stereotyped even by someone who happens to share my ???color???.

    "...pulled over for a DUI in 2004 .... In 2005, Taylor was arrested for aggravated assault and faced 46 years in jail for waving a gun and beating up the alleged thieves of his ATVs. He pleaded no contest...His SUV was later shot 15 times in a drive-by...". LOL. Yeah, just your everyday average citizen.

    While i don't totally agree with Wilbon, he is partly right.Most of our young black men who make it refuse to leave the streets and the hood alone.What we need to do as black people is to take our communities back, we can start by being parents again, let fathers raise their children, let parents tach their kids that they should be their kids' role models, not what they see on tv.As a young black man, i have experienced all that is written in this article.. you go to school, brothers see it as a waste of time because you're never going to get what the white man gets, you speak proper english, they say you talk "white". All these factors and mentalities play a role in our youths lack of development.

  • Posted By: SICKOFTHUGS @ 12/07/2007 3:09:59 PM

    boo hoo...quit your whinning! We freed the black man many moons ago...your stuck because the way you dress, the music you lissen to, and the people you follow e.g. al sharpton....thats your real problem!

  • Posted By: dano**** @ 12/07/2007 2:26:03 PM

    Any issue involving blacks and whites immediately must be a race issue. Who killed Sean Taylor?? Not racism, four young, black thugs. But let's blame whitey for making them do it. Stop sniveling and do for yourself what millions of us successful blacks have done...work hard and succeed. I supposed this makes me an Uncle Tom?

    To white people who think that they are being blamed for the ills of black society: You are so wrong and so racist: There is a concept called white privilege, which is as pervasive as the air we all breathe. Yes, white society needs to be held accountable for the stereotypes that it puts out regarding black men. No, not all black men are thugs. Yes, there are many white boys that are losers and thugs, but somehow those white boys are given a chance, and their bad boys ways are relegated to being young, while black boys' behavior is forever remembered and unforgiving, no matter how hard they try to evolve into something else. Top that with the fact that white boys are three times more likely to be hired for a job having a jail record than a black boy with no record. It is time to wake up and be responsible for racist beliefs and actions. They hurt everyone, especially my black children, and I worry that my children will be stigmatized by people who post offensive, racist, and ignorant posts. And by the way: statistics show that over 50% of people who purchase b.*** music are white surban kids.

      i agree with you 100% racism most definitely exists it never went away it was just covered up white people need to realize that they are racist the majority of them u do things to hurt us but in your little world you haven't done anything wrong black people suffered we had everything taken away from us you will never know how we feel we dont have a chance in society because you wont allow us look past the color of my skin and if you have a heart picture me as a person you think we are animals you think God did wrong when he put us here get over it i was never a racist person but when you continue to hurt my people i allow the devil to step in all we ask for is a chance we cant get that because you feel as if this world belongs to you all white people arent bad all black people are bad some people become bad because society wont give them the chance they need so get over it and get past that racism there is someone who has more power than you me or anybody remember who's in charge the almighty GOD or do you still think there's two Well guess what one God
