alright dude, i'm done with this silly argument. i never once denied that there is such a thing as white or black hispanics, all I said was that you made it seem as if you had african black in you and hispanic. not black puerto rican or black cuban.
and just so you know, none of us have forgotten where we came from. just as you say you got so offended by my comment concerning blacks competing for jobs with hispanics, you have no right to say "where we came from". you obviously have no idea what you're talking about
FYI, castro began his political career running a campaign for guess what??.... CHANGE!!! he said he was going to change the tyranny on the island and make everything better. he then later on became a terrorist as his protests became more and more violent. then, surprise, surprise, castro reveiled himself to be a communist. how do you think that went over with cubans? that's why, those whom were able to escape cuba during the 60's, such as my family, are as far from the left as they could possibly. that is why, 99% of cubans are republicans.
check yourself before you make more stupid statements regarding issues you've never read up on.
african black is in all decents of blacks no matter their ethnicity. country or continent they were born on
and my family as well as yours came here on boats/rafts. eight of my fam members lived next door to each other and every other house was picked and forced to get on a raft to try and make it to the US shores.
as i've said before, i've met more blacks that hates white, than i will ever meet whites that hate blacks.
racism isn't only against blacks, hispanics and asians..
then you arent coming in contact with enough blacks.
b/c while alot of blacks may still harbor reverses or even ill feelings towards whites. the number of whites that are racists highly out number the blacks that are towards whites
dont get me wrong, there are plenty of black racists. but with me being around alot more blacks than you.
your statement isnt true
and honestly. i never really understood what reason whites have to be racist against blacks. blacks actaully have a reason to be based on our history and even how we are still treated today. but most of us arent.
we are stronger for what our race had to endure
but im sorry you are mistaking. there are alot less racist blacks than whites.
Let's discuss this issue of racism and what a racist really is. Of course, there are degrees to everything, but IMHO I think that word "racist" is thrown around way too much and w/o thought.
Let's be honest here I bet even Mother Teressa harbored certain sterotypes for other ethnicities and peoples. It's, unfortuantely, inate in all of us to sterotype and generalize what we're not familiar with. It comes out in all sorts of ways, manerisms and behavior, but I wouldn't summairly say someone is a "racist" because they harbor these sentiments. Some of which they don't even know they have.
As a minority, I would personally lable an individual a "racist" if and when they hold to a belief knowing it's not valid and those who act on those set of bliefs. I mean come on, you can't blame someone for being ignorant or stupid, but you can blame someone for not wanting to learn and opening their mindsets.
Now who wants some SPAM???

right, there is a difference between being racist and prejudice.
being racist is the highest degree of being prejudice. IMO
almost everyone is prejudice. but as i said. in my whole life i have maybe come across three racist blacks
i have been friends and aquaintinces with alot of whites. and mind you i have an equal number of white and black friends. then everyting else in between
but alot of the white friends i had, i chose to distance myself from. they were cool in my face. i thought they were my boy or whatever. and behind closed doors i was a NIGGER to to them.
i have never once utter the word "cracker" or even thought it. b/c thats not my character.
do i trust whites? no more than i trust blacks. do i have whtie friends i know will have my back no matter what? yes as well as blacks
im not cool with racist blacks just like im not with racist whites. but i have mosdef come across ten times more racist whites than i have blacks

It is easy for you to see these lines because you seem to mingle with races in general....Here in va, you get your slice, white or black and rarely do you have someone who has white and black friends, that does not make you a racist at all. You will always have compelling arguments to anything racist because racist isn't included in your life like that because you have those types of friends. You will be amazed that some people revert to their racism because they have no affiliation with a different race.
...right, there is a difference between being racist and prejudice...

Probably the truest comment yet about this whole issue
I think larger % of both populations are prejudiced than anyone is willing to admit, and I think most of that is based off of stereotypes. I do not think that "racist" is as prominent as the media portrays it either.
IMO most will say the other race is more prejudice because they perceive actions by the other race as against them (their race) so you notice it.
You are less likely to notice the same action if the race roles were reversed.
