Jewish people have the Holocaust which is probably worse than slavery and you don't see them crying about everything.

I have a lot of black and minority friends so I'm not racist, but I have to call it how I see it. Living in a highly populated city of minorities, a lot tend to want things handed to them very often without any effort in earning it.

The race card is too often pulled in today's society. IMO, some blacks and other minorities use it as a crutch to be lazy and get things handed to them. Not all, but a fair share. At least here in Philly.

No race is perfect though.

As far as racism goes, people are too often in society called racist. If someone says something like "blacks are more athletic than whites" they would be called racist by a large majority of people in today's society. Even though that above statement is so obviously true. IMO, to be racist you have to show obvious hatred or undermining of a race. Saying I hate this race or this race is a disgrace to the planet and are animals, then that is racist. But logically comparing two races and giving one an advantage over the other in terms of something(like athleticism), it is not racist.

lol *waits for a troll to show up*
