So, how do you guys feel about racism? Do you think that it's total bullshit that a black kid has a better chance of getting aid for college simply because he's black? I read a chain thingy that went around My Space a while back and I thought I'd share some of the points it made.
If we had a white history month we'd be racist.
If you say black power then you're a strong willed individual, if I say white power then I'm a racist.
If we had a united whites college fun we'd be racist.
And so the message continues on with things like that but I'm sure you get the point. The fact of the matter is that, yes, we were kind of jerks during the whole slave trade thing but there are no shackles on your hands and nobody whipping your back. If you're being fired at work it's not because your boss is racist...it's because you were doing a shitty job.
