    There are so many stereotypes out there about black people as there are about white. I think that treating blacks special because they are black is reverse racism. Many people complain about the way black shows only have black people in them, and the white people are always morons on the show. Yeah, well look at some of the white shows. In Soap, the butler was black. In WKRP, the black man was into soul. It is because the corporate heads of programming are targeting shows at specific demographics. The media makes more of a division between races than anyone. What people need to do is understand it is entertainment, and not try to analyze it so much. We may be different people who are into different things, but we come from different cultures that allow us to enjoy these things.

    White people need to understand that black people have a bigger cross to bear due to the fact they have overcome so much more than white people did, and that was something they did not choose. They were the so-called “black sheep” of humanity for many years and have risen above that to have achieved great things. I don’t know if it was because whites back in the day thought blacks were aliens, but everyone was so scared of them back then. So they had to fight like hell to get to higher ground. Many people say black people tend to stick together in groups when they work together. Well why not? They can relate. Just like many white people of different nationalities hang together as well. People relate to each other culturally and socially. That is who they are more comfortable with. Yet, in life remember there are white assholes and black assholes. People are people. And that is all there is to it.

    And there are more divisions and lines drawn out by people, but in reality there is one social line that sucks. The rich and the poor. The rich step on the poor, and poverty knows no color. Racism is an enemy that can be debated and although it may play a part in our lives, it is people like the corporations, the government, the people who believe they know what is best for humanity that are really screwing life up. George W Bush went to war based on a hunch that turned out to be wrong. And thanks to that, many black and white soldiers in Iraq died for that. He wants to eliminate social security and now has hired on a U.N. Ambassador who wants to reform the U.N. This is a problem that the people in control see all us white people, black people, Latinos, Muslims, Indians, whatever as numbers. As votes, as just victims that they can manipulate with stupid shit like this race war shit and whatever else.

    In closing, we are all human beings. We all bleed red and the one thing that is for sure for all people, no matter what color, is some day we are going to die. Are we going to live our life in harmony with all people of all different ethnicities, or are we going to die slowly with all the hang-ups about life that are thrown at us? I guess it is your call. Thank you for your time.

    This was a case of a man standing trial for murder, no matter what color his skin was. A man who was accused of murdering his wife. Yeah, she was white, but that has nothing to do with it because guess what? When she was killed, she bled red. A color that blacks and whites squirt of their skin if they get stabbed.
