You need to consult a therapist. We're in 2014 whether you're "light" or "dark" skin, people will treat you the same. To the honest, it makes no difference to me. It's not like it was another race.

If you don't stop with this ignorant ****..

I come to expect it by this point.

And this thread is a damn mess

[I Am Music]

Topics like this shouldn't be discussed on ATRL because 90% of the people on here have no idea what they're talking about. And like Grumpy said sheep will come running and co sign it.

I only agree with a small fraction.

1) Stereotype.

2) Blame the victim.

What about the other half?

1) That's not a stereotype. The black was used to describe a certain portion. It's like saying "angry white folk." He's referring to the portion of the white folk that is angry.


2) Well pulling the race card won't get you anywhere. Just because you don't get a job, for example, doesn't mean you are qualified and you didn't get one because the employer was racist. MAYBE you weren't fit for the job! Who knew?!

What a violent mentality. Proving Pharrell's point.

People need to understand blaming others for some of your problems won't get you anywhere. Put a good attitude, and you will succeed in life.

Lol, while I agree with your first statement you cannot - in all seriousness - believe one will succeed simply by putting on a good attitude...especially being a person of color. Racism is not a fable or something of folklore, it exists and will continue to exist.

1. Yes it is.

2. You have a point but let's not act like this isn't something that doesn't happen.

You make racially provocative threads dripped in sarcasm so what do you know anyway?

I don't believe it exists to the extent people claim it to be. People cry out "institutionilzed racism" and give examples such as blacks have an on average lower income...well attending college would help...Harvard accepted its highest percentage of black students this year, showing that they're not racist against them..

Now that I think about it, Happy sounds like the theme to a 1920's minstrel show... so him saying this isn't all that shocking.

He's basically says systematic and institutional racism do not exist. It's all in our head and we should move on with our lives imagining we are equal to everyone and will be treated as such.

Too bad that **** just is not true.

PREACH IT!

I make racially THOUGHT PROVOKING threads...and just because I don't believe we should all cry out "INSTITUTIONALIZED RACISM" doesn't mean I'm being sarcastic.

Uh Oh Hitler has entered the thread.
Let's see how this thread amps up now.

Actually not all of it. But thanks for putting words in my mouth.

Only thing I agree with is the mentality aspect that we shouldn't dwell on negativity but the social standings are very clear when it comes to race. Race was and still is an issue.
