[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]BTW, the people who are going out of their way to pretend this isn't happening are missing an opportunity, IMHO. Why exactly do black kids in the 'hood feel like they need to give white folks (or wealthy black folks) the metaphorical middle finger? That's the question we should be asking. While you personally may not have been racist, you're part of a system that is stacked against them. I can hardly blame somebody for resenting me and all the power i have in society, (power i got for no good reason, basically just by being a white person).

Many white people go out of their way to say "I don't see color" or "I don't believe these things happen." C'mon now. Spend some time in West Baltimore, and you'll see this take place 25 times while you drive through the hood. These places are DEVASTATED by poverty, these people are on the fringe of society. Society has failed them, so I don't blame them for the F.U. nor do I blame them for failing to hold up their part of the social contract. What has the social contract ever done for them? [/quote]
