I do not think black women find this a prejudiced action. They are made to feel less than because most of them do not have the ability to grow long, beautiful hair. Beautiful hair is seen as a very attractive, feminine feature by men, and when you do not have it, envy rears its head. Hair tends to be a touchy subject with black women, and you flipping yours may have created tensions at work. Do not forget that it was black women who coined the term "good hair."

Now the white man toils in the hot sun, so to speak, to pay taxes to the government to support many, many, jailed black men and their babies and baby mamas. Next time you hear some one say that whitey likes to lock up the black man, you remember that we are the ones who have to take up his slack. We have no choice. The holidays are coming up. Just watch for the heartwarming newsclips of people lining up for turkeys and pretty packages for the kiddies. Look who is on the receiving end and then look at all the lazy whites on the giving end.

Do not forget the esteemed Wayne Williams of Atlanta.

Hair weaves, contacts, dark skin or light skin, good hair, bad hair. what is better? You dont seem to be able to figure any of it out, do not expect us to be able to figure it out. How do you know if the FORMER or LATTER is true. Do you speak for all blacks?

As it is , blacks do not say a peep when it's a black on black murder or a black on white murder. They only HOLLA when it is white on black, and thats a rare occurance. How many blacks have spoken out about the murders of five young white people in Kansas? I'll bet you heard a lot more about James Byrd. Why do blacks find murder by other blacks easier to accept. Murder is murder.

We have our cousins that we don't want seen just like everyone else. As far as all of the horrors that you mentoned, that whites committed, you know that I could go tit for tat with you in giving examples of horrors by blacks. Just look at the murders in Witchita. My point was you can not say 'look what whitey has done' when your people are guilty of the very same things.

Africans also raped and pillaged in the past and still do to this day. Africans enslaved humans in the past and still do to this day. Who do you think provided Africans for the American slave trade? I think you should check into the past of your ancestors before you preach to us about ours. We had no monopoly on barbarism. At least Europeans were able to evolve past some of that behavior. I don't know about Africans. Watch the news.

The same can not be said for all of Africa. Egypt is geographically in Africa, but I dare you to call an Egyption an African. You will be wiping desert sand off your butt. Africans forced into the American slave trade were not from the region of Egypt. They are not your ancestors, stop claiming them as such, they do not claim you.

In the north, many black people eat the same foods that we eat here in the south, but they have probably been exposed to a more diverse menu. I think that someone who has never had a plate of BBQ. spareribs with a glass of sweet tea are the ones with the odd diet. Whites in the south also eat more than our share of deep fried chicken and iced watermelon. Shocking aint it yall?

Those designers for FUBU were practically begging whites to wear it. Dont forget that white Americans could call the U.S.A. FUBU. For us by us.

It was spread by fleas which were hosted by rats. It was then spread between humans very easily. Remember the time when this occoured. I doubt that exterminators even existed. It killed every one from the cleanest rich to the dirtiest beggar, regardless of hygene.

First, white people don't use the term cracker when greeting one another. Secondly, when YOU use the word cracker when describing us or trying to insult us, we do not care. It just does not carry any weight with us.

Maybe the only colored people the poster has been around were colored white. Any question asked with sincerity is a legitimate one.
