I learned long long time ago that measuring a person by skin color is a reflection of a person with a very big inferiority complex.

Citing stats about cities and towns with economic problems and being so lazy as to not even bother to look at what the other side is something that really turns me off.

Your skin color did not make you what you are, nor does it determine your morals or character. Not recognizing that those of NON WHITE started well behind in whatever race you place them in is extremely short sighted and is usually a sign of wanting to find someone to blame for anything.

BALDWIN is a pro....he is an agitator. He uses all the same kind of rhetoric the white supremicists use (wonder why).

I cannot talk to someone who actually believes that the color of your skin determines your future especially when he cannot recognize that a skin that is non white makes it EXTREMELY HARD to even function, and they have a struggle each day of their life.

His assuming that people who might read his tripe and garbage have not worked in inner cities is such bunk. This forum is not about us personally but I assure you I have been on the front lines in Philadelphia, Pa and Tampa to name 2 places.

We certainly have a racial problem in this country. We need leadership that will try and close that gap in understanding and we do not have that.

The bottom line is that BALDWIN is an agitator, and I suspect a professional one at that.

You have to be filled with extreme anger and hate to post like he does. You have to fill superior BECAUSE OF THE COLOR OF THE SKIN YOU WERE BORN WITH AND HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH.

Do we have problems with races....do we have problems with programs that are called handouts....yes..big time yes.

Addressing them as being problems because of someone's skin color is so stupid.

BALDWIN's hate speak would apply, depending on the date un history to Polish, Chinese and a number of others. They, however did not for the most part outwardly present a look so much different and could overcome it.

We speak as white people with such superiority instead of recognizing what the real problems are. YES...many mistakes made by blacks in trying to get attention, but to think that whites are not making the same mistakes on the other end of that spectrum is totally and complete nonsense.

Our country is on the precipice of making war on each other based on skin color. We have a President who believes in racial inequality...we now have an entire network who has evening programming devoted many nights to that same premise.

Do I condone groups that support violence to make a point...heck, no. Do I support meaningful dialogue based on being equal to begin.....yes. Mostly I support listening

I TRIED finding a black majority city that was nicer than a white majority city. I couldn't.

I tried finding a black school that had higher grades or better graduation rates. I couldn't.

I actually had a neighbor that was a middle aged female black professional. She was a great neighbor! We shared many meals at each other's homes. But during the holidays when all her kids would show up it was like instant ghetto. The low rider cars with the ground shaking stereos, pants halfway down their a$$, loud ebonic conversations.. Although I would still go there for the holidays (she was the best cook of Southern food ever) I just wasn't as comfortable when the gang was there.

I served with many black people. Some where great and motivated some where just slugs marking time.

There are good and bad in every race but as a culture you just can't ignore cities like Chicago, Detroit, Baltimore, St. Louis, Oakland, etc.. Is it because they are Liberal run or is it because they are majority black? Or is it both?

And yeah, I'll be honest. I'd rather live in a white neighborhood than a black one.. Most white people would.
