None of us have any choice who we were born to. It’s a lottery. If you think about it you could have been born a black lesbian woman in Nigeria. That’s what I don’t understand about racists. It’s just pigmentation of the skin. Your character and your actions define you, not the color of your skin.
And what pisses me off..in the 60’s, when African-Americans were doing sit ins, at diners and the like. Yes they got beat, heads bashed. But..there were white men and women with them, standing by them, and they got their heads kicked in too. You never hear this being discussed, ever.
Equality means equality for all. You don’t exclude white people. Racism is racism you filthy trash!

Most black Africans aren't big fans of black Americans because of how so many of them think and behave. It's a cultural problem, and I don't know the solution, but I'm beginning to think it may be irreconcilable. How do you solve a social issue like this which is festering and where the resentment and hatred from one side is getting stronger and more pervasive, all while they're effectively socially untouchable? You can't even talk about this stuff in most of our society unless you're black.

“There is another class of coloured people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs, and the hardships of the Negro race before the public. Having learned that they are able to make a living out of their troubles, they have grown into the settled habit of advertising their wrongs — partly because they want sympathy and partly because it pays. Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances, because they do not want to lose their jobs.”
