[quote=Anonymous][quote]PP, yes it does. It's time to stop pointing the finger at White America as [b]the sole source of the problem[/b] and accepting that the AA community has work to do. They DO need to change some of their attitudes and behavior. Bill Cosby (just one example) has been saying this publicly for years.

Also, no one on here has suggested that AAs are the only people on the planet associated with violence, or that everyone else's bad behavior is explained away. On this thread, for example, is a discussion of white serial killers. Who is excusing that? The news is full of uprisings in the Middle East. Who is excusing that?

And to your last point: Most white people living in America today are NOT descended from slaveowners. Most of us are descended from subsequent waves of immigration, some to escape persecution and starvation. These immigrants were dirt-poor and never owned slaves, so your suggestion that we whites are mired in some tradition of treating AAs a certain way from the olden days is ridiculous and insulting.[/quote]

How the hell does being an immigrant make someone immune to prejudice?
How the hell does being dirt poor prevent someone from subscribing to stereotypes?
How the hell does having never owned slaves stop someone from jumping on the bandwagon of beliefs perpetuated by negative propaganda?
When the hell did experiencing discrimination ever stop someone from practicing discrimination in turn?
