I feel sympathy for what happened to the African Americans. They got a shitload of stuff thrown at them from the time they were dragged here up in to the present day. BUT....I despise the people who whine about how their ancestors were mistreated so we should all bow down and kiss their asses and give them money. Shit, if that were the case, the Indian tribes should be the first to have their asses kissed and money thrown at them.

I might sound conspiritorial and all that shit, but I think that a lot of the whole "black vs. white" thing is stirred up by the media. Something to do with "divide and conquer." The Man gets everyone all fired up about the whole race thing and keeps us at each other's throats, it just makes it that much easier for him to distract us from the fact that he keeps fucking all of us in the ass harder and harder every day and that really, we're all in this together.
