Lets Talk Race...

First off I would like to state I am NOT racist in anyway and if you aren't adult enough to discuss race don't read this.


Barrack Obama recently made what was his greatest speech yet. His speech was regarding the crazy pastor, and touched many key points in race. I think he hit the nail on the head with his comments on our racial stalemate. His discussion of the disdain between races is brutally honest, and just what we need. Obama realizes that race shouldn't be such a taboo if we are to end it. Having an open discussion about race between different people should be encouraged not punished.
We seem to treat races as we do in video games, we give them certain characteristics that is unique to each race. The real truth is that the only unique trait blacks have compared to whites is better U.V. protection. Blacks don't need help because they are black, they sometimes need help (just like whites and latinos) rising up in the social ladder. Black people and other ethnic people don't need the help of white people to be normal. They are human beings and we seem to forget this. The only reason race even matters today is because of the separations we did during racist times. During those times the races stayed to themselves and created cultures that varied from race to race. The real issue today is culture, not race. This is the thing I feel Obama missed. He would talk about race comments and races as if the issue was the race itself, not the societal norms within these races.
The end of racism towards black people also requires a drastic change within the black community as well. The culture developed by the disenfranchised blacks of the past has created a spiteful feeling towards whites in many poorer communities. The same goes to the white community who seem to get the feeling that blacks are not smart enough to handle themselves in society. These whites are those who make "diversity" programs to help those who aren't white.


In short, this topic requires some real intelligence to handle. I don't just bullshit you guys and I really think deeply before I write, and so should the rest of you. Even if you think you aren't a racist, think really deep to WHY you want to help people different than you? is it because you think they are just people who are in a bad situation because of racism, or do you think its because they need your help?
