God bless.
Are you out of your mind too?

First off, don't assume you know anything about me with that "you people" shit. I'm not black. It doesn't take a black man to realize that black people have been shat on for years. Only a small amount of intelligence is required. Also, when I hear anyone say "you people" when referring to another ethnic group, it almost immediately makes me think you're not coming from a place of any kind of cultural harmony.

Second, why is it a generalization to say that those who fly the Confederate flag are racist? We fly the flags of those who we agree with. And was not one of the major tenents of the Confederacy the right for white people to own black people, that Negroes were nothing more than property? Yes, they were about more than slavery and yes the Civil War was about more than slavery. But sometimes, a bad apple ruins the bunch. You won't find me flying a Nazi flag because Germany had free health care in the '30s.

I think the NAACP will "let it go" when black people play on a level playing field. Maybe they'll let it go when American prisons aren't predominantly filled with minorities, when pay for blacks reaches that of whites, when urban education is given the same funding as suburban education. They'll let it go when drug laws, hell all laws, don't have a racist tilt to them. Maybe they'll let it go when the life expectancy of a black man reaches that of a white man, or at least when black men can collect their Social Security at a younger age. Perhaps they'll let it go when black people aren't harrassed in voting lines, or mislead about where to vote.

The NAACP is doing its job because no one else will. You're ignorant if you think racism is dead.

And don't tell me "we've tried to make up for it." You ain't done shit. Have you given a black man your pay as reparation for your ancestors' wretched abuse of his ancestors? I don't think so.

And also don't tell me that blacks enslaved each other long before the white man came along. While it's true that African Muslims (Arabs) enslaved other Africans (blacks) long before the white man, black Africans never enslaved each other. I don't understand why this myth has legs, but blame it on a collective guilty conscience.

You're just wrong. And that's not even the saddest part. This is:

"You're pretty damn free now"

So you're saying close to free is good enough?
