Black power is the same as White power. What about the Black Panthers? So basically it's ok if they talk the same **** that the KKK did about White people just because they don't do anything?
If we are to live in a multicultural world and 'race is a social construct' then why are you doing this? Either we divide by racial criteria or we are one world. I literally don't care about race at all, I have no problems with people of different ethnicities. I stan for Black musicians just as much as I stan for White or Asian musicians and it completely makes no difference to me what color their skin is. This only shows that there is a lot Black people require constant extra attention for no reason, playing on the pity of others.
I'm friends with a Black guy who is on this site and he's much smarter than me. Except he doesn't need constant proof that he's superior and race doesn't matter to him at all, not that I noticed at least. There are multiple examples of very successful and rich Black people. I'm saying this as a non-American, why can't you just leave the past and go on? I don't see Native Americans whining in here all the time and they were nearly as oppressed as Black people were.
People of all races are equal everywhere in the First World. Well, maybe except South Africa where White people are being murdered every day by Black people. But it's not politically correct to talk about it at all.

While we shouldn't be color blind to where people come from, being a person of color doesn't excuse you to cry for extra attention. You work hard (and harder than whites), you will get the attention, position, and recognition you deserve.

1) Perhaps ask your "black friend" to educate you on the Black Panthers.
2) Unfortunately, Native Americans don't have as big a voice because they only make up about 0.9% of the US population. I'll leave it to you to figure out why.
3) There are very real Apartheid ripple effects happening in South Africa. In the grand scheme of history, it was less than a millisecond ago.

hmm..As a person of color, living in the South Eastern region of the United States, I FULL-heartedly disagree. ![rolleyes](http://www.atrl.net/forums/images/smilies/images/smilies/rolleyes.gif)

1) It was an example. Don't try telling me there is and was no Black supremacist groups.
2) So there is 10 times less Native Americans than Afro Americans. Why have I never heard a case of a Native American complaining about discrimination? Neither have I heard of Latino people, who were discriminated too. It's always Black people all over again. Black History Month, lack of Black TV presenters on galas, where are Asian, Latino and Native American presenters?
3) Apartheid ended 22 years ago, with 70,000 White farmers dead and being killed every day. You calling this a ripple? And justifying this cruelty because something was less cruel but happened on a larger scale? And what about, for instance, White discrimination in Zimbabwe?

Pretty sure it always has.
And everybody who is saying the Black Panthers was a black supremacist group is a racist who needs to educate themselves.

Why don't you ask the Latinos, Asians and native Americans?

I did reflect on what you said. You think black people whine and need attention too much, you clearly haven't opened a history book on the Black Panthers, you think one black friend and appreciating black musicians gives you some sort of credibility. I'm reflecting all right ![deadbanana3](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v232/korn0818/ATRL_Smilies_All/bananas/deadbanana3_zpsa2d36eca.gif)

You truly have an obsession with yourselves and don't care about other races then = Black supremacism.
Thank you and bye

Native American discrimination: http://mic.com/articles/101804/this-...ike#.Y9PVknKp8 Their voices are smaller because they were wiped out hundreds of years ago and have hardly anyone to speak on their behalf
Your 70k white farmers comment isn't even true: https://africacheck.org/reports/are-...ed-like-flies/ White people are less likely to be killed in South Africa than other groups
but this is grossly off topic and we clearly aren't gonna agree so let's move on. Yes, black culture is running pop culture.

WHERE did I say I don't care about Asians, Latinos and Native Americans? ![ahh](images/smilies/images/smilies/ahh.gif) I'm not going to speak for other races, I'm in no position to do so. ![deadbanana3](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v232/korn0818/ATRL_Smilies_All/bananas/deadbanana3_zpsa2d36eca.gif)
Not me being a black supremacist ![deadbanana3](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v232/korn0818/ATRL_Smilies_All/bananas/deadbanana3_zpsa2d36eca.gif) I've heard it all!

We can go back to the Jazz Age with this conversation and the answer will always be the same.
