[H]ow old are you and where did you grow up? I started 1st grade in 1965, the small town I grew up in had segregated schools. In 1966, started the 2nd grade, the schools were integrated. Played with blacks, did sports, etc, throughout the school years. I never had a hard time getting along with them at all, and I think they never had a hard time getting along with me. What I did notice, even at a young age in 1966, was the immediate pandering and fawning over their blackness. They absolutely got away with more than any White or Mexican kid, and they knew it, even joked about it (special treatment, different discipline, adjusted grades, moved or forced their way to the front of any line for any event, entitlements, all kinds of double standards, etc). When I went on to college, it was even more blatant.

I know they had a rough go up until 1964 or so, but I had no part in that, neither did any of my ancestors. I came from a long line of poor white trash, half of which only came to the US around the turn of the century. I just wanted to better myself, and nobody was going to do it for me, except me. Liberals act like every White American family (especially in the South) had slaves (in 1860 only 1.8 percent of American families owned 1 or more slaves. 4.8 percent of Southerners did). Liberals act/think like there are no poor Whites, or any other ethnic groups that have had to struggle, except Blacks.

Double standards and prejudice are ramping up and getting worse as the years go on. You can’t deny this. Ever see a Black kid wearing a famous White athlete’s jersey? Ever see a Black family adopt a white baby from a broken/bad home. Notice how all the newer TV commercials portray the White guy as the goofy doofus that must get guidance from the wise Black Man. No wonder we’re seeing all the young Black violence on others (especially White). It is taught in the broken home that Whites are responsible for their current situation. The green light has been given, justification for this behavior has been established because of something that happened at least 60-200 years ago. I’m just wondering how long America is going to have to pay for alleged sins of the past (even though very few people are still alive that were a part of or were responsible for those sins)?

I’m trying to be colorblind. I trying to give everyone the same chance to be guided by the same moral and ethical compass.

I’m just tired of the excuses and blame.
