What can black people do? Remove the chip from their shoulders, as this thread so clearly illustrates is necessary.[/quote]

Examples? Oftentimes, this accusation lacks any proof. If you take DCUM as gospel, then white people are the epitome of the angry woman and insecure people with chips on their shoulders.

[quote=Anonymous]Black people need to stick together and stop trying to explain or prove things to white people. They also need to stop with the "I am not that type of black". You might not be, but the divide and conquer thing doesn't really help you out. Get some self esteem and stop airing your dirty laundry because it only comes back to bite you in the butt.[/quote]

Why do black people need to stick together? Do you find this to be true of all races? I'm black and don't know any black people in California, South Africa or Brazil. How exactly should we "stick together"?

[quote=Anonymous]Keep the "I'm angry and everyone around me has to make way for me and my problems" shit to yourself. Who gives a damn you are so damn mad all the time? Every freakin' person has problems. Go to anger management classes or something instead of being a shit head in public.[/quote]

When have you witnessed this? Do you have examples or are you just replaying the tired old "black and angry" line. How disappointing. [/quote]

Why do black people need to stick together? Because divided you fall. You should stick together by stop trying to prove that you are not "like them". For example, if someone starts a thread that was meant to bash black people, and then blacks come and try to explain how they feel, you really shouldn't be the black who chimes in with "get that chip off your shoulder because my dad would have beat me like a slave"...or something like that. I don't get the point unless you are trying really hard to prove yourself to white people.

You also shouldn't air your dirty laundry to people who have no real interest in helping you clean it. What good does that do? It all goes back to trying to prove things to people who will never walk in your shoes and who don't really give a damn when it comes down to it. You make yourself out to be some sort of alien to investigate, as opposed to a human being. Complaining to white people about what black people do makes no sense if you are black. White people have their own complaints and they aren't going to solve your problems. They are just going to make a show of it.

As for other races, I say they do stick together in the ways I have mentioned above. Of course, all of this is speaking in generalities.

Black people may not be physically enslaved, but the mental slavery is alive and well.[/quote]
