"George Bush doesn't care about black People"
So blame it all on Bush, he get's blamed for everything else.
The reason why we still see forms of racism is because of all these radical racist groups, black and white. Along with a DOJ and a president that is playing politics with race. In everyday life of interacting with people of all color, I don't see racism like this, everybody gets along and does their own thing. And I'm from the south. Children aren't born racist, so where does it come from? You want to see racism go away, end all the one sided programs that have muddied up the waters of equality. Every man and woman stands on their own merits, period, along with being held accountable for following the laws of this country. Taking from the rich to give to the poor does not only hurt the rich, it hurts the middle class and the poor. Ever had a poor man give you a job? What really has the welfare state done to improve a family's life, it's actually hurt it in my opinion.
Here's a thought:
If I have to take a drug test to get a job where I pay taxes that go to welfare, how about the recipient of my tax dollars having taking a drug test to qualify for it?
Ask any of those Black Panthers if they would like all the programs that are in their favor go away in the name of equality for all?
What have the likes of Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton really done to help their people. They've done a great job of helping themselves to piles of money in the name of keeping racism alive.
I'm tired of hearing how slavery was unfair. I agree it was wrong, don't think you'll find a person here who would say it was right. But damn, how long ago and how many generations ago was that? As a country, we did the right thing and moved past it a long time ago.
By today's standards, people of color have it much easier to get assistance with education, housing, etc. But it's the same with every race, you'll have those who will take advantage of what they can to get ahead through a great education and hard work, while others want to sit back and complain about unfair life is.
