They DO!!!! You just don't hear about it from mainstream media......
You know it is nice to have someone such as yourself posting here. I think many including myself appreciate the cool head you have used in informing people here.
I, like many young white people sometimes have a hard time seeing past issues like these and a LOT of resentment can build up feeling that we have to make amends for the mistakes of our ancestors in ways that are often (like in the case with "you people") seen as ridiculous.
Furthermore, I appreciate the poster that said that people do not associate all white people with someone like Bush, however, as much as I would like to say I agree that it is contextual and pertinent, I don't think it is. There is a climate of racial responsibility that white people in particular have to be careful about while it would seem every other skin tone gets a free pass to do and say anything they want.
I think it is a real shame that if what you say is true, that people like Obama don't denounce Sharpton's past and present mindset. It is a shame that people like Oprah do not show support for a more colorblind society by holding "influential" members of the black community more accountable for the hatreds so obviously permeating people everywhere of every color.
Anyways, I guess it is too bad the inequalities and hard feelings so many harbor towards each other appear to be here to stay for the time being until mainstream media and all communities come together and respect each other and themselves.
