Oh please... I understand for those years of slavery they had a hard time.. but they've well gotten their revenge on whites. Do you think if you walked down the street in the projects or the guetto or just around a group of african americans you wouldn't get mocked or ridiculed now days? I'm thinking mocked or ridiculed is the least that you'd get. And blacks aren't the only ones who have been made slaves... For many of years whites had been slaves also... My great grandmother and family were sold as slaves to the Cox family from north Louisiana when she was a child along with her mom and grandmother and ect. She used to sit around during holidays and tell us all the stories of her childhood as a slave unti she married out of it. Whites were slaves too, but do you think that we got/get any compesasion or have gained any kinds of special racial privledges?
And I think the most annoy thing about the whole holier than thou because YEARS AGO there were slaves... the people who are benifiting from that day and age WERE NEVER SLAVES!! THEY'RE ANCESTORS WERE! I understand giving some leeway to the ones who actually lived as slaves.. but I find it HIGHLY unfair that this girl is losing everything she worked for because she imitated Lil' Wayne who's grandmothers great grandfathers second generation's grandfather was a slave!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The flat out point is whites have it just as bad now days competing with racial issues! The whole Racial card has been used wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy over board!!!!!!! And what's happening to this girl is a perfect example of it.. its pathetic... as is the sterotype of slavery vs. current situations. And I am in no way prejudice.. I can't stand to see white people be accused as raciast for something that its perfectly ok for a black to do and get away with...
