pick a stereotype and stick with it! :) you know you're my buddy either way. and a heck of a disc golfer!

Dude... Things go well for me and countless other minorities... I'm not angry black man. We've had this discussion numerous times on here.

The video is mainly for the people in general that doesn't get a sense of what we actually go through on a daily basis and then try to marginalize our struggles to be considered and treated as equals.

I'm always surrounded by whites and I'm usually the token black guy as there's not many of us in IT period. I have no problem with white people but it doesn't mean that I'm not aware of what I have or other minorities have to do to excel.

It's like this... whites don't have to do near as much as minorities do to get by. We have to jump higher... score better... be light skinned... talk white... etc. It's a game all minorities play.

Not racist... just telling it like it is.

No, AA is outdated and silly. Get a job on your merits and qualifications, it is what it is.

Could you provide some real-life examples?

The USA has a black president.

Wutamess, it appears that you are just slinging shit to make your goal. I really attempted to take a humorous look at this but you are lost.

Pardon the pun, but that's a pretty black and white way of looking at things. I'm sure there's plenty of black people who grow up with advantages other white people don't.

I can't order some fuggin chicken at company dinners :cuss:. I don't eat red meat and pork but I don't want to feed into the stereotypes of all we eat is chicken, greens and other soul foods.

I have to tip more to change the perception of black people don't tip.

Like the guy in the video, I have to try my best to bring out whiteness in my voice when talking to be taken seriously.

Like the video subtle differences but they're there.

Dude... I don't really care about to 1k posts. I'm telling what we go through. You can either paint us as the victim as the video did or you can try to understand... it's really that simple.

That's it? Really?

Well, if it makes you feel any better, I won't play basketball or attempt to dance in public.

Sounds like you are insecure and blaming it on white people.

True as there's exceptions to rules. I wonder what the ratio is?
You're picking the exception not the rule. Great way to look at it. NOT!

What would you like us white people to do? Stop breeding so you black people can catch up or something?

Why not look at the exceptions and emulate their success, instead of looking at the norm and complaining about it?

"NOT!" Really? Now you're creating the stereotype that you're lame.
You don't seem like you came in here looking for any discussion at all. It seems like you just want people to validate your feelings and if they don't you're getting upset.
Great way to look at it! NOT!
