All black people do is Smoke Weed, Listen to Jay-Z, Drink beer, have bar-b-q's, have kids and run fast.
That about it.
That about it.

Oh really?? Explain why a black man with the same qualifications, similar education can apply for a job, but often lose out to a white candidate. It has be researched and proven.
Not doubting you. Just time for you to hit me up with some scholarly journals with said research.
A lot of people use excuses. Black people included. It's nothing new. This is the type of person society has bred.

Coming from the projects and moving out, I think it all starts with family. If your family is supportive and plants seeds of growth into youth's minds, thechild could grow up and be anything he or she wishes to be with hard work and discipline. There are of course set backs and unfairness to the rules. I alsohate a ghetto mentality. The ghetto is no holding people there, the people's minds are keeping them there. You are only as strong as your mind limits.

Are black people oppressed?
In 2008, blacks can legally do anything the whites can do. There was a time where oppression played a major factor in our society, but how long will peoplehold onto the grudge and continue to use it as an excuse to justify their short comings? Some people just have this paranoid mind set where everyone is out toget them. Get real.
My thing is this, there's always going to be racial tension/racism, but we've made progress people. Stop whining.

http://findarticles.com/p...mi_qn4158/is_/ai_n9675595 First thing that popped upwhen I searched google. There have been many studies showing the discrepancies between white applicants and black applicants. There was a 60 minuites piece ancouple years ago. Just to clear the air, I am in no way making excuses for the shortcomings of some people. There has been progress made, but many people areblinded by the fact that we could have a black president. That does not excuse the uneven playing ground that has been laid upon us all. Look around you. It isall in plain sight. To a degree, it depends on the individual, but you can't beat a royal flush with only two pair.

Wow. People trying to lie to keep using slavery as an excuse. Shame on anyone alive today who tries that. It was 150 years ago. 150!

Slavery plays apart in what goes on today,yes its over but we have a judicial system that has taken its place, thats unfair and unbalanced.A felony,a trial,ajury of his peers(bs) for a young black male today is just as lethal as a man hunt,a capture,and a hunging.The faces have changed,the attitudes are the samebut most important the system is still the same.

Researched by who!? Even if that was the case, Employment places with employees being majority black hire more black than whites, along withhispanics, asains, etc.. Every race does the same thing.
If you wanna argue *#% like that, why is it that my parents don't make enough money to pay for my college education, and white people such as myself arepretty much s.o.l. when it comes to getting a college scholarship?

i have personally been overlooked at a job because i was white and there was a black person hired instead ... my credentials > his credentials cuz i knewhim ... the employers response, and i quote ... "i just didnt feel you would have fit in here and there are other oppurtunities best suited for you"... so dont tell me im what society has bred yadda yadda yadda
and for the record, i was hired in another area for the same company, by a black manager and work with all black people ... my manager told me straight up thatole girl didnt think i could handle an all black environment ... i didnt whine or piss and moan, i just chalked it up to ignorance and kept it moving ... ieven removed my alldaz chain from my keyring before i walked in to that first interview, maybe if i kept it i would have been hired ...

I'm black and went through the same thing dude. Getting a scholarship has absolutely nothing to do with what I said. You can get a rather easy scholarshipif you have the grades.. Apply to a HBCU and try to get a minority scholarship. There are ways to pay for school

So if that's the case, look at the advancements blacks have made in such a short period of time. Cut the complaining and wait foranother 150 years to go by so more progress can be made, instead of using slavery, which you yourself have not endured, as an excuse for any of your problems.
People are never satisfied.

You are one of the few thats why I said a lot not all. Ive learned that alot of black people will stay where they are at and never experience anything out oftheir city. Also its not slavery that has kept black people black. Its not like slavery ended and +@%! was all good and white people let black people be. Wehavent even became close to "free" till the 60s. Which was 40 years ago. Also on an education standpoint if a black kid from the hood goes to theschool in the hood he has a VERY big disadvantage from a white kid from suburbia. For on I can guarantee that that black kid will not get as high of scores onstandardized tests and also will lack all the luxuries that suburban school children get. I'm a black kid that goes to the suburbs and we get a hell of alot of luxuries academic wise compared to other schools.
