[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP, you indeed referenced where Shaquanda was from, not where she is headed. Yes, I would rather have my AA son date Shaquanda from the hood but who is getting good grades, sings at church and runs track in hopes of getting a scholarship for college than precious Snowflake who has no idea of what it is like to be AA in this country and doesn't understand why a white person doesn't have a pass to use the n word...and doesn't care. "From the hood" means nothing since most AAs in the US somehow worked their way up from slavery. Since my grandparents were share-croppers who put my dad through law school. Since my in-laws are a mix of have and have less but who share the common goal of trying to do better for the next generation.[/quote]

Do you just refuse to read posts?  The whole point is that Shaquanda would be dating your soon being uneducated with nothing "going on" and would rely on your son for her suppport, etc.  SO of course she can change in the future but if her intent is to live off your son then its just GREAT to know that you would rather have someone leeching off your son (potentially) than someone who is already sufficient.

Thanks for proving that SKIN COLOR matter most to you.[/quote]

Don't feel like going back in the thread, but you only mentioned Shaquanda being uneducated and from (or living) in the projects. Not sure how that signals she's going nowhere. I was born and raised in the projects, so like I said Shaquanda's story is not unfamiliar to me and being poor and uneducated does not automatically rule you out for me.

You can always go to school and get an education. You can always move out of the projects. You can almost never get someone to totally understand what it means to be black in America (good and bad). [/quote]

They say Ghana is quite attractive in terms of climate and cost of living.

What's your point? Are you telling me to "go back to Africa"? How original. And cute..considering it's highly likely that my family have been "Americans" far longer than your own. [/quote]

True.   That's why I have no white guilt.   I find recent african immigrants most agreeable.   What I cannot understand is all this hocus pocus chip on your shoulder talk.  Go back a few generations and a good two-thirds of this country were share-croppers -- whether here, in the south of italy or elsewhere.   We have a two term black president for goodness sake.   "Black in america."   It's just so tedious and silly.
