Tell that to LJ and some of those rapper friends of his, too...will you? Sadly, it's not a one-way street, man.

Yeah, but it all begins with one person. I won't tell LJ and "some of those rapper friends of his". I'll worry about the possibilities of hatred existing in me. That's where change occurs. Perhaps you ought to consider that too instead of putting the responsibility to change on someone other than yourself.

stop pretending that the hate that this country can't seem to let go of doesn't rest on both sides of the fence.

And, what did that stem from? A black person getting beat senseless by white police officers. We could just keep flip flopping hate crimes. I'm not saying that there isn't wrong on both sides but c'mon, blacks have been second class forever now. Sure, it may be getting better but it's still going to take time. All I'm saying is don't rip on people when you haven't walked in their shoes. For all we know, LJ may have had a horrible life. That's what frustrates me the most is that everyone has a damn opinion about what everyone else does or thinks, just let it go. We all need understanding instead of just "get over it".

I haven't ripped on LJ.

But I will rip on people who don't get it, regardless of color.

Second class? Sorry, I don't see it that way. Green is the biggest color that seperates us.

C'mon guys, I'm not trying to be an a-hole but unless you have spent time, day in and day out, with black people you will never understand the hatred that's still there. You may not feel that way and not understand why they can't "get over it" but when you have problems every day with discrimination then it's kind of hard to "get over it". You can think I'm wrong but I'm just stating facts.

To be fair, you really should start listing all the horrible crimes against white people, committed by black people....too.

Just to be fair.

What? Black people actually commit crimes against white people? No - where?

If so, I'm sure they have a very good reason for it.

LTis better than LJ because he can handle interviews better

[Hammock Parties]
