Second of all, every person has been prejudiced at one point or another, white, black, hispanic, native american, you name it. As everyone should know already, to be racist is a choice for the individual and falls back on thier beliefs. I cannot make another person change his values because there is no way another person can convince someone that his beliefs are wrong. I’m not racist, I just felt the need to point that out.

Finally, to the people like LGHJHGJ, your comment is just plain ignorant. Any person with a rudementary understanding of how the economy works would realize that the economic crisis today was not caused by not hiring black workers, as you so bluntly state it. It was caused by people being unable to pay back the loans that they took out of the bank (through both credit cards and home equity) and, once the boom cycle stopped growing (which is a natural occurence for any growing economy), nobody could pay back the money they borrowed. In case you didn’t know, this event was aptly called “the bubble bursting” not “the result of not giving jobs to minorities”. So please, cut your complaining and face the facts. If nobody is giving you a job for WHATEVER reason, take the affirmative action, and move somewhere else. Don’t simply b**** and complain about somebody else.

AMEN to that. dear god, let’s get over the degenerating race card. and no one has ANY excuse to talk crap about race and how they’re limited to succeed b/c of it. it’s called getting off your ass and actually working hard to get what you want, no matter what race you are.

and i’m so sick of “whites” always being talked to however others feel they want to b/c they feel it’s more acceptable. i.e. “whitey,” “white boy”…..etc etc. can’t go up to an Indian and say “hey brown one,” or dare to say black….only african american b/c that’s more PC. i believe this is what some may call reverse racism.

the only reason we have this economic problem is because people who do not have money, borrow money that they cant pay back. And when the bank asks for this money they never see it. Trillions of non existent money has been handed out over the last half century. It needs to stop. The notion that we are in this crisis because black people didnt have jobs, you can get a job anywhere put on some nice clothes, get a nice scent, talk nicely, and if you don’t get hired, say well thank you anyway I tried my hardest. Don’t get defensive and say its because I’m black. I have black friends who came from poor families and have better jobs than I do. IT IS possible if you try and don’t blame others for your idiocy.
