Mistreatment, Prejudice and Hatred
???WTF?!!!
Seems like that could be said on Both sides! One doesn't have to be White to be prejudice to hate or to mistreat another race!
I went to a High school in NY where black kids were bussed in from all over the city. In many of my classes they sat in the back of the room smoking cigarettes and marijuana, threatening the kids who were trying to learn, and being loud and obnoxious to the degree that the teaching staff were afraid to say anything to them. Those few (blacks) that didn't, were called names like Uncle Tom etc
. I actually felt sorry for THEM.
They had a chance to get an education just like me, but they chose to be COOL instead and now I'm sure they and people like them are blaming society!
My kids went to a high school here in Marion County where to a quite lesser degree, the same thing went on. At this school, Ang and I actually witnessed two black girls strolling down the hall without a care in the world, after the bell had just rang. They stood outside a classroom door for a few minutes then one of them went in. Seconds later, the teacher escorted her out into the hallway and told her to go see the principle, because she was late. She then began yelling that the teacher only did this because she's Black and he's a Racist.
BTW, FWIW my eldest daughter is dating a black man and they intend to marry. He's a great guy and we all love him.
And HE told us that black people are taught to "Use the Race card" if need be in their lives.
So, to hear someone say I should put myself in their shoes and to basically feel sorry for them? I don't think so!!!!
Grow up where I did and you'd see the light! They don't need to look past their parents or their own noses to find fault for the situation they're in!
