[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Let go of the notion that AA's cannot be racist.

Stop with the "white privilege" crap.  A poor white kid doesn't have as much "privilege" as a rich AA kid or any kid whose parent's are well educated.

Stop hating whites for the color of their skin.  None of us choses our skin color and no one white or black should be hated or made to feel ashamed of their genetics.

Stop blaming the white community for failures in certain segments of the AA community.

Work to stem the problem of teen pregnancy and unwed motherhood in the AA community.  Challenge AA males to take responsibility for their children.

1. I don't believe black people can be racist. Being racist implies having a certain level of power to hinder the success of those you hate. In the US, blacks don't have this power. Now, I do believe we can be prejudiced. There is a difference.

2. Who says blacks hate whites for their skin color? Has anyone ever told you this?

3. Teen pregnancy and out of wedlock births is indeed a problem. It's a problem in all communities. But, I will say to you that you shouldn't assume that a single black mother means there is no father around. There are many unwed black families where the mother looks like a single mother on paper. I do agree that black fathers need to step up and do a LOT better. [/quote]
