The Beginning Of a Revolution

Neither is racial profiling, so what is your point.

African-Americans that want to better themselves usually do so . Many have achieved the American Dream , but many more seem content to live on welfare and cry racism rather than take advantage of the freedoms and rights and priveledges of America .
Take the word to the brothers and sisters - get them up and working , not playing victim .

Enough is enough, and I can guarantee you that if America chooses to continue to walk over Black America that a racial war will be on our horizon." Willie James Harvey

Can you imagine how many Africans died in travel to the new world piled on top of each other aboard a massive slave ship. By definition ain't that's the same as genocide. Correct me if I'm wrong. Don't be a fool
because Chris Rock gets paid to be a fool.

I didn't say you said that?

Funny, from what i've heard. Your pretty much just talking about black up to this point. In your first post you mention "black" ten times. In the whole thread fifteen times. I think we know who your biased for?

That was a long time ago.
If you feel the white man owes you something, then you are still a slave to your own inability to move forward.

Although it was horribly wrong, American slavery was probably the best thing that could have happened to you (if you consider your other options).

Just think . . had your ancesters never come here, you would be dying in Africa of AIDS, and possibly be a slave to some other tribe.

Remember Africa has her own struggles, I wonder who is stealing diamond. Get real, you don't know what God had planned for Africa until the White man came set on colonization and pretty much screwed up the whole earth. But that's the past and I am only concerned about the current state of oppression.

Obviously God's plan was to use American Slave trade to save your race from destroying itself.
Just admit you hate white people. The only oppression that currently exits is what you bring down on your own head by your constant bitching.
Your people have been here for over 200 years and still face the same problems you did back when you got here.
Its the attitude of members of the black race like yourself which keep the good people down.
Notice this doesnt happen with other immigrants from Eastern Europe/Asia . . they dont have Chineese Al Sharpton's holding them back from success in this great country.
You gotta swing the bat if you wanna play ball - its time for you do that instead of bitching.

Before you all rip this poor man apart let him speak, Wjharve what do you think should be done to promote equality in the United States of America?

What, in specific, do you feel is "holding you back"?

Impossible is Nothing, so nothing can actually hold me back but why should my life be harder because I am a Black man. You don't earn equality it's a birth right.

After reading the entire text of this thread, I feel the need to interject. I am a student of history, thus I feel the need to set the record straight. The slave trade was started by Arabs who used African tribes to prey upon other African tribes to supply the slaves. This began hundreds of years before Europeans ventured into the dark continent. Hundreds of years before colonies were established. The downfall of African Americans was started and substantiated by their own ancestors. The role of the White man certainly continued the propagation of slavery into the new world, but it was already a well established trade. The beginning of the end of slavery started with the American revolution. Granted it took 188 years for the constitution to apply to every American equally, but the spark to end slavery around the world started in America.

The learned sense of hopelessness that has been ingrained into African American society continues to be the number one reason the African American society feels oppressed. African Americans have ingrained this hopelessness into themselves with the decisions that they have made in the past. African Americans subscribe to the Democratic party for the most part, yet have they bothered to study the history of the Democratic party and it's part in their oppression? African Americans degrade the value of education and family values in images they present as rap artists and movie stars, they create images of thugs and gangsters as being a noble pursuit. The pervasive moral degradation runs rampant through African American culture. The African American culture is diseased from within, something no government or law can fix. The only thing holding you back is yourself. Play the blame game all you want, but when you place a negative social stigma upon yourself through your own actions them you become self defeating.
All ethnic groups that have come to this country have faced withering discrimination, yet none have failed to thrive. Why? Self reliance and determination to become better then those who came before them. I see no sense of that in the African American culture, thus they continue to wallow in their own misery. You want to feel equal with the white man? Then stop taking what he gives you and create your own. That is the American way. Success is not given, it is earned.

If nothing is holding you back, then you have nothing to complain about.



So what if your life is harder cause you're black?

Fat people's lives are harder because they are fat.

Skinny peoples lives are harder because they are too skinny.

People with good jobs' lives are harder because they work too much.

Unemployed peoples' lives are harder because they have no work.

Short people's lives are hard because they are short, etc, etc, etc.





We all get dealt a hand in life. Do us a favor and either fold, or play the cards you have been given. Either way, your broken record type behavior is quite annoying.


Instead of wasting your time complaining to us about your situation, why dont you go out and protest the next rap concert where the words N i g g e r and B i t c h are thrown around like footballs.

Maybe then young black children will grow up with more to aspire to than becoming the next "50 cent".

Are you Black, then how in the hell do you know what Black kids grow up aspiring to do? Blame every thing on rap, that is so much easier than dealing with the problem.

Admit it you a racist and nothing you say can change my opinion. You are part of my problem not rap.

50 cent word's are a reflection of his life he lived and can not do nothing to hinder me just piss you off.

so tell me want the white man ever gave me
