I am shocked that any of this surprises you. I am less concerned with this sort of blatant anti-Africanism than what we see on the more subtle CNN. The solution is found when we have our own INDEPENDENT media outlets.

It something to do with the history and cynicism of Blacks an racism of whites along with the media projection of aspects of poor urban life of thug and pimp culture.
Other blacks andminorities who come to America dont have that baggage.

Also, to speak to the cynicism, ALOT of Blacks in New Orleans swore up and down that Whites bombed the levee in order to remove the Black population.
People swore up and down in 1965 when Hurricane Btsy hit, that they bombed the levee.

This is totally off the wall. Talk about extremism!
There are racist in every country. Egypt too!

Learn your facts. The mayor was the big problem there. He could have fixed it. Did he? No goe find out why? Oh.....what color was he? What are you anti-American or something? Anti-White maybe? Both? What
quote: They view us as the lowest of the low
Just exactly where do you live? How do you know? You are so wrong. I live in America, was born here. I have never in my life met a person who said that. Although I know that some people do in fact feel that way. It most certainly is NOT as common as you seem to think. Don't generalize. It makes you look the fool.
Katrina (hurricane) HOW? Might want to check your information. I don't know where you are. But I live in Houston. I personally dealt/helped with the victims. That hurricane had an effect on our schools, economy, employment, and crime. Research the details on that one. You'll find lots. But until you know the details, you should not make such blatant assumption. That is preposterous.
My church sponsored the victims that stayed at the Astrodome. We worked shifts. (unpaid of course) Round the clock ones. There was a lot of sadness there. Hope too. But the sadness overwhelmed you. People were distraught, and rightly so. But we had to sort of guard them also. In the middle of all that was happening. Who do you think was acting out crimes? Thier own. Sick isn't it? Sad but true. Blacks are no more
quote: Whites are just tired of us not being happy with the "kindness" that they've shown through said farces.
Blacks are cynical because of said farces, and justd don't like nor trust White people.
That is a copout.
You're forgetting the part that most whites today had nothing to do with all that back then stuff, nor do they agree with it. Only are associated with it becuase they are white. Now who are the racist?
I have as many black friends as I do of any other race. It's a pretty equal mix. They will be the first ones to say, "that Blacks need to quit looking for sympathy, and what they feel is owed to them. Get off their ass and do something about it. Quit looking to blame people. Take responsibility for yourself and let God handle the rest."
That is a quote from a dear friend. She says it often to some of the young ones when they try their sympathy stuff. This lady is in her 60's. Is a decent of a slave. Born into poverty. Did something with her life. She is neither rich nor poor. But her and her husband put 4 kids through college. Gave them a good home. Decent clothes, etc. They worked their butts off to provide. Her kids grew up well, and are very sucessful now. Sure there are times when things are hard. There are times when the color of your skin does make a difference. But whining, and pouting about it, and trying to get sypathy for it, is degrading yourself. Have self-respect. Do something about it. An attitude change could be great start. That is also something I've heard her say many times. ( different words of course) So it's not like she doesn't have a clue.
If the ones directly affected by slavery can have a better attitude than why cant you?
I didn't watch the movie. Can't dial-up. But I'm commenting on certain comments.
Seriously, if you are black Tee, then you are the kind of person that give blacks a bad reputation. Just like extremists in everything else. It is them that degrade and insult their own. Much more than anyone else.

I agree ... we need to create our own MEDIA because this is crazy ...
Now I'm not shocked at 'FoxNews' I'm talking about the so-called AA. Why do we have people amongst ourselves who hate themselves. This is not a question ... Its more of a statement.
Our people ... when will we learn?
As far as the bomb blowing up the damn/Levy ... They had found actual evidence that has been suppress and removed from our sight.
I remember on of the first interview with a diver who found bomb pieces and charred stones.
Europeans in this nations can be some idiots having no knowledge of what the government is doing. They think AA's are full of conspiracy's because they don't live where we live nor experience what we do. I live in Los Angeles and I can assure you that you are blind beyond the call of comprehension.
I think most Euro-Americans have good intentions but they don't know sh*t about the AA experience because they don't have the same worries.

LOL, great poster and true to the Nth degree. Don't put any faith in Obama. Unlike King, he's not prepared to die for anything. He's a groomed professional politicians.

Its not a campaign for Obama that I'm interested in ... Its the mentality of some AA's that caught my attention.
Secondly as far as Obama ... I don't want him to be president ... I want him to be around for his kids and wife. If he is elected, they will murder him before the balloons fall.

As a European-American, I have to say that a lot of us could improve our attitudes towards African-Americans. We may have high opinions of individual blacks, but we regard the group as a whole mostly with negativity. We think of them as illegitimate criminals with a grudge against us. That's why too many whites discriminate against blacks in various fields of life (jobs, housing, justice system, etc.). To be fair, blacks probably have equally negative views about whites, but since we form the majority and the group with the most power, the blacks are the ones who lose.
Is there anything we can do to help blacks?

I think alot of Blacks in America just don't "feel America" anymore with respect to the American dream.
I guess it has to do with the many farces like Integration, Emancipation.
Whites are just tired of us not being happy with the "kindness" that they've shown through said farces.

I don't agree with that last sentence (not about Black people in general being cynical). It's not like Black people walk around disliking White people. But a good example of Black people's recent cynicism can be seen in Barack Obama. Most Black people (usually those who are older) say there's no way in hell he's gonna become President. And if he does, he'll get shot...

What we? I just see your name. As far as YOU...you're right! I've come in contact with plenty of Black people who have negative views of whites. As far as what you can do to make a difference, just try not to discriminate. The hard part in regard to race relations in over (pre-Civil Rights Movement)...but teach your kids the right way. A large portion of racist people are only racist because they were brought up to be that way.

False News, I mean, Fox New is an extremely important propaganda machine for the White and Jewish ran Matrix (a.k.a. Western Society) so this should come as no surprise to any right thinking, truth breathing, Neo like threat to these reprobated idiots. As a matter of fact, I wouldn't expect anything below rock from them unless they some how surprise me. Posts: 179 | From: United States | Registered: Jan 2007

Ok ... I'm hoping that we don't make this another AA thing where it gets blown out of portion. Meaning its all good, I just wanted to show the mentality of so black folks. So let us lighten this topic up by checking this video out:

Black Americans (the group) did not become that way overnight! Neither did the native Americans (drunks!) or any marginalized group in USA. Black Americans (the group) do not hate like that for no reason, nor do they hate because whites are the majority, or because they have power. It is/was the unjust use of power and priviledge, in the face of democracy forbidden by the majority to those who were non-Europeans! Things have changes due to passed laws but you cnanot stop beating a dog down for so many years and expect things to change. The weaker dog will lay down but the many strong will do what is needed to progress into the future. The future, strength and power, of any group, when focused on collective societal good will always tell the good, the bad and the ugly!
Justice for all, under all circumstances, is a start that has only periodically being applied!

'Blacks' may be more cynic than whites, seeming harder to reach, but I think we're easier. My opinion.

Stop misconscrewing every damn thing about us all the time .
Nah, I'm just joshin you. Nice post, I'd say it pretty accurately describes things.
All you could do is treat me right. I've known alot of nice white people, that'll do. Try (as best as anyone in this day and age can) to avoid being brain-washed by the system, another agent-of-the-Smith.
If you're super rich, however, there's more;
I recall just last night watching a story about a wealthy old {white}-man who didn't like what he was seeing: In the words of the {white} newscaster, "what he saw disgusted him, he saw poverty, he saw people {even though blacks} who were americans, but who still didn't have the same opportunities he did."
This dude(, mind you, this extremely rich old dude) tore the projects down and built new homes, helped to bring new things to the economy, he helped them to turn around.
Of all things, a GOLF COURSE helped the turn-around. It came from poverty, despair, and violence galore.
Interviewer [earlier]:"So what were they doing, the boys you saw"
{black} older lady:"They were so violent, they would fight and argue. They were fighting and arguin, you'd see 'em walk away and next thing you know, it was like you're in a western movie, someone would peek their head around the corner and the guns would be blazing"
The percent of highshoolers that met the standard requirements was like 9%. Now it's in the 70's.
AFTER the old man's generous act, there were jobs, the economy is bosting.
Interv.: "What was it like before?"
Woman: "Almost like livin in hell"
Interv.: "and what's it like now?"
Woman: "Oh it's heaven"
I'm probably doing a shitty job of paraphrasing thing, and maybe conveying exactly what was felt, but anyways that's what I got from it.
You don't have to have a fortune, though, it's just a story I saw yesterday.

Lol, you guys remind me of my arab friend. He says Fox news is the worst news ever. That they're so biased, it's not even funny.
I guess I agree. I've seen bad on CNN, to, though.

Me neither.
Although, I do think this is sad, I mean how cynic our posts sound.

Just another thing to add onto what Achill said. Here in Atlanta, where blacks predominate there seems to be a social and political backlash against whites i.e. accusing whites of racism and discrimination and overtly negative attitudes about whites in general.
Case in point, there was an art exhibit outside the Atlanta Police Department h.q. One of the posters had a collage consisting of American flags and two sentences. The top sentence said "Politically it's okay to hate the white man". And the bottom sentence asked "If I was a victim does that give me the right to hate?". Sure enough it caused alot of controversy and stirred alot of discomfort from whites. But sadly to say, the statement was very true about the political environment today. In fact, the very fact that the artist was able to post his work in public that said something about whites is more proof. If he were to say something about blacks, it probably wouldn't even be up.
