This isn't to be racist, I just noticed something though.
I heard some people talking the other day, and it got me thinking. Okay, so black people (African Americans) it seems like most of them are offended by being black. Like, if you offend them or something, they always play the victim role, "because they're black". Maybe this is just like by me (I used to live in Chicago when I was like six, haha but now I'm in the country. ) Anyway...
1. The US aplogized to the African Americans in 1972 for having them enslaved in the 1800's, and discriminating them. Really, no one now is enslaved, and none of the black people today have never been enslaved. They can quit living in the past now, right? 2. I don't owe black people an apology-- I haven't done anything to them.
I've also noticed this, African Americans get special stuff like The Miss Black America Pagent, and Black History Month. Do you think that's fair? Why can't white people get their own things? Like I said before, I'm not racist, but it just got me thinking.

I kinda know what you are saying and I kinda agree.Yes I do get frustrated when someone says something to a black person and this big deal happens,but if that same things is said to a white person no one cares.But on the other hand their ancestors had to suffer working for no money and getting beaten and starved and treated like animals just because of their color.So they have a right to be mad for the ancestors,think of your parents going through that.Like I said I see both ways.

Yeah, I guess, but I mean, they didn't go through that, so they shouldn't be mad about it. I think the US paid the freed slaves or something like that, I'm not sure. It was probably a bad thing, but I'm not black or enslaved, so I can't relate. I could say my ancestors were made fun of, and I doubt anyone would care. But that would just be silly.

I dont agree with that totally.First no one really makes a big deal out of being called black.I mean black people dont care,they know they are black,and they call us white and we dont care.I just think everyone makes a big deal about everything,if everyone just let it go then none of this stuff would happen

Well the black people around me (which are very few) and the ones downtown (in like Chicago) in the bad neighborhoods make a big deal about it, everything bad happens to them because they're black is how they make it sound. Haha, yeah, I agree, if people didn't make such a big deal about every single thing someone said then things like that wouldn't happen. Kinda reminds me of those debates on HOLA...
