I'm just "keepin it real".
Sasaki, you would be very suprised at how much rap and other bad influences influence Blacks in the US. Go to any public school that the majority is black and survey the kids there what they want to be. I bet you all the gold "teef" in East St Louis that the majority either want to be a rapper or a professional basketball player and their dress, actions, and grades will reflect their desire.
And I also bet you all of the pointy white hoods with eyeholes cut in them south of the Mason-Dixon Line that most of the white kids in that same school would want to be rappers or basketball players if they could too.

But what would that matter anyway? Is it illegal to be a rapper or a basketball player?

Sorry, its just the truth. Its a harsh stereotype but its to common to simply call it a racist statement.
That's where you're wrong.

You've filled this thread with anecdotal statements about how blacks are responsible for so many societal ills in America but supported those statements with nothing more than your own pet beliefs. This post in particular uses "I bets" and "you' be surprised's" to support further generalized statements about blacks as a whole.

But the greatest clue about your extreme ignorance on this topic is the fact that you refer to the "myth" of blacks being held down.

If you can't acknowledge the fact that blacks in America suffered hugely in the past, and continue to suffer now (though to a lesser extent) from oppression based on skin color, then it appears you have severe blinders on.

Your posts in this thread have embodied just about every reason why skin color will continue to be such a divider in the U.S. for a long time to come.
