Maybe staying awake at school would help you know that there are many black inventors.  South Africa has led the way in cardiac surgery and life saving inventions.  My dad was the original Archie Bunker, but the black surgeon worked as hard as he could on a hopeless situation.  I do think sometimes things are carried too far, but to suggest that other cultures do not contribute to the betterment of the world is going off the deep end.

erasing black on black crimes

What kind of comment is that???

Black on white crimes are OK???

That is not the message that they were trying to get across. All crimes are wrong but there is a really big problem with violence within the black communities. A lot of this nonsense can be attributed to the ignorant rap songs and artist that perpetuate violence among themselves. All crime is bad, they were just addressing a serious matter.

I did read your post thoroughly and this was not a personal attack at you. I was just responding to what was stated in the post and how I felt about the material that was suggested to be passed around.

There should be white appreciation day think about it, we development 99% the whole world. If wasn't for "oh whitey" we be back in the stone age. think about it. If we waited for African technology and Latin technology we be sitting in dark cave right now.

 
 I am very proud to be white but yet I am not a racist. Things like the above do make me embarrassed of my race sometimes though. Ever heard of Eli Whitney? Did ya sleep through your history classes? Do some research on the guy, he was a genius! I am sure there are many other intelligent productive races that have contributed to "technology" as well. I used to "shave my head" to put it nicely, but I grew up and realized that I was being just as ignorant as the people that I hated! Now I know ignorance or intelligence has nothing to do with race. And for those that may judge me for what I have been in the past, don't hate me for what I was but learn to know me for what I am now. "we be sitting in dark cave right now" I believe you're may be in one now man!

im not racist, i hate everybody.

The worse thing about racism is the media, and politically motivated people.  They are the ones that create the divide.  They are the ones that won't let racism go away. Some may disagree, but I personally feel people like Jesse Jackson and Rev Al Sharpon, feed the racism.  Never once have I ever heard of one good thing come out of their mouth about the white man, no they insist that white-man holds us down, the white-man is our enemy.  Those are fighting words, those type of words create anger and divide.  Speak what you know, every white-man I know, raises their children love each and everyone as the same.  While Jesse & Sharpon, say, don't trust the white-man.  I have never once met anyone who said to me, I raise my child to hate the black man.  But I have had a few black people, tell me directly to my face, "I don't like you cause you are white", or "I was raised, and I raise my children to HATE the white man."  I don't blame them for hating me, I blame the media, and blame those same damn ignorant people that feed off hate.

The N-word I totally get.  To me calling someone a n... is like someone calling me the "c" word.  So I get it.  But at the same time, it's okay to put the n-word in music, it's okay for kids to say what's up my ni...  Double standard.  If anyone ever walked up to me and said what's up u my c..., it's on. 

It's time to teach and spread unity, not hatered.  I don't get it, in America of all places, how can their be racisms.  Every person in this country has come from some where else, except for the native americans, so to be a racist in America just doesn't make since.  We all bleed red, we all come from the same creator, which makes us all one. 

Finally, keep this in mind.  One day we will all be judge.  That's when the racist will get theirs, think about it, if you hate someone do to their origin or color, you are hating a child of God.  One can't be a true Christian, and be a racist.  And that goes both ways, meaning that white can't hate the black, and the black can't hate the white.  We are one, and that's all there is to it.

You should be embarrassed mentioning Eli Whitney. Last time I checked he was white. Maybe in your cave he's black.

 Yes i admit I am embarrassed about that, I was thinking of George Washington Carver,oops, at least I can admit when I'm wrong. Point is, there is a piece of "white trash" for every "nigger". All blacks are not "niggers" and the same goes for any other race in my eyes. If you're useless, you're useless, it doesn't matter what race you are.

George Washington Carver
"Discovered" hundreds of new and important uses for the peanut? Fathered the peanut industry? Revolutionized southern US agriculture? No!
Research by Barry Mackintosh, who served as bureau historian for the National Park Service (which manages the G.W. Carver National Monument), demonstrated the following:

Most of Carver's peanut and sweet potato creations were either unoriginal, impractical, or of uncertain effectiveness. No product born in his laboratory was widely adopted.
The boom years for Southern peanut production came prior to, and not as a result of, Carver's promotion of the crop.
Carver's work to improve regional farming practices was not of pioneering scientific importance and had little demonstrable impact.
To see how Carver gained "a popular reputation far transcending the significance of his accomplishments," read Mackintosh's excellent article http://www.network54.com/Forum/thread?forumid=256246&messageid=1088896552&lp=1088896552
