I grew up in a town full of racial tension, I've seen racism 1st hand, and I'm not saying its you Mr. Wright , but most black people that run around spouting conspiracy theories against "The Man" have never really witnessed any form of racism! I know this b/c I have black & white friends(2 cards at once) I also had an interracial family member growing up, so it was a little hard to just pick a side!
My point is that there are some racist bastards still out there, from all races mind you, but the truth is they really have no more power than you give them!
Your right, OB1. Maybe, we should all come down.
Now, I am spouting conspiracy theories? Call it what you want. I am just letting people know that racism does exist and I will continue to show it to world, whenever I see it affect a dominant-minority group.
You seem like a very well educated person and in no way am I saying you are spouting conspiracy theories. I'm saying that you are very passionate about what you believe in, nothing wrong w/ that, and sometimes it seems that way(perception).
The guys that made the articles above might be just as passionate in their work, and your perception of what they printed might be slightly skewed, They could be black! That wouldn't change the way the articles look when you find 3 seperate pics and put them together.
I don't "mod" I just fix what breaks!

I really hope you are kidding, because that statement was so offensive to anything remotely related to reality.
This thread has gone on too long and i feel dumb for even contributing to it. whats worse is that for the first time i think i agreed with some of what 18psi2300 said.
Read up on your history, buddy boy. Oh, and you being dumb has nothing to do with this thread.
you are serious? you think only america is racist? you think that in other parts of the world that slavery still isnt being practiced? you think that people in the world still arent being slaughtered because of the color of their skin (and for their religion while we're at it). you need to learn more about the world you live in if you think only america deals with racism.
thanks for calling me dumb, no really thanks, because it just shows that when you cant attack the message, you attack the messenger.
No, I am not talking about the rest of the world. I am talking about here. I know racism exists in other parts of the world but that does not affect me because I don't live in other parts of the world.
I live in America, the land of... (You can fill in the rest if you like.)
Now I hate America? That is a new one to me.

People fear others that are "passionate", they consider that person a threat. Especially, when that perceived "threat" questions the status quo. Anyway, I have had enough for one night.
I was writing a paper on how humans changing the Mississippi river system contributed to the flooding in New Orleans right now, but I got side tracked by those pictures. Anyway, it was fun.
Now I hate America? That is a new one to me.

hmm...i read all of your posts and then looked at the pics. wow  black dude "looting" while white chick "finding". while if written by two different people then yeah, not "racist" imo. if written by the same person, then yeah, kinda racist  they are BOTH looting. call it what you want. was it justifiable? hell yeah! for both of them. the guy with the beer.....well, maybe he prefers to drink beer instead of water..  on face value, it does appear to be sub-conscious prejudice but we dont know if they interviewed them afterwards or observed more than we can see for ourselves. IMO, anyone taking any food or drink from a grocery store gets a free pass. anyone taking tvs and [censored] need some correctional time.

people like you make me sick. you are so concerned about yourself and how you have problems, you have challenges, and your burden is so great. America has its problems, and racism is unfortunately still with us, but you aren't helping anyone, sitting on the internet complaining and nitpicking stories. Why don't you go out and do something and help someone, stop caring about things that just affect you and maybe go make a difference.
It's horrible that some people wont have doors opened to them because of something as trivial as the color of their skin, whats worse is that there are REAL men, women, and children that are being raped and murdered as we speak because they either don't look like the government in control of their country or because they don't believe in the same God as someone else.
Yes America isn't perfect but claiming "only in america" shows so much ignorance you should be ashamed of yourself.
There are cases of racism, and they make my blood boil, show me one and tell me if there is something I can do and I will be right there fighting the good fight.
But keep posting lame attempts at showing us how you are being oppressed and I will continue to loath you for your selfishness.

Generalizations 4TW!
You don't know what I do for my community. So, go ahead and continue making your generalizations.
Oh, and keep on getting "sick" of me, because I am just getting started.
Now I hate America? That is a new one to me.

I think I am starting to agree. Maybe the author is racist, maybe the guy could be helping clean up, afterall those are not Colt 45's in the bucket.
If this were two Mexicans instead of two blacks we would not even be talking about this. I imagine you would have over looked the article. Afterall racism against blacks is worse than on any other culture, no not true, blacks just wine about it more and/or just get more publicity from there righteous leaders, Sharpton,Jackson etc....
Time for this thread to die.
