Woah It's kinda sad that I'm actually surprised to see some pride and pro things being said about America over the internet. :/ 
It's good to see.

FREEDOM IS THE ONLY WAY.

Freedom, founded on slave labor.

Trololo.

As a black person, alot of things happened in America to my kind, that I'm not proud of.

It's fine, you weren't born.

You say I wasn't born, but it's still directed at my people, and people of my color. If a white person went to a black person and called him a racial slur, I would still take offense even if it wasn't directed at me, specifically.

You're not thinking like an American, right now. It's that damn BET, isn't it?

This has nothing to do with BET. You say I'm not thinking like an American, well so what. The same guy who wrote the Declaration of Independence owned slaves. Don't get me wrong, America is good, It is a land of opportunity, and that's why my parents immigrated here, but I'm not going to lie and say people of my color were treated fairly.

Look past the color and just look at people as a whole. I'm both Caucasian and Asian and I'm considered as a Caucasian. If I were to call a black folk a racial slur despite said black person being one of my best friends, would you take offense to that? What if he called me a cracker? You wouldn't? Instead of judging me for my ethnicity, judge me for me. Why are Hispanics allowed to use racial slurs such as Nigg@ and not be taken offense to it?I don't give a crap about racism, that's ignorant bullsh!t. Judge the person for them, not for the history of their people.

Just because I've been mistreated by a specific group when I was younger doesn't mean I should take offense to whenever anyone else of said label states something of similar ground but different intent.

@Jnr6Lil:

You can stop using color as an excuse now. I don't understand why you brought it in here in the first place but I will say this, PEOPLE in GENERAL are usually treated unfairly, not just black folks.

That's different if he was one of your friends, and you guys were just joking around. And the thing is with Nigga, (personally I don't use the word, That and Nigger are the same word to me, One is just slang, the other's not), since black people have now used it themselves, then they can't take offense it to it. I don't hate white people, I have friends who are white people. I hate racists.

I do love this country. Things could be better in some places but then there's always ways of working things out.

God bless.

This has everything to do with BET. I knew black people would in danger when they took off BET NEWS & Teen Summit. Thomas Jefferson was good to his slaves. When he said " all men are created equal" he really mean "all men", he just didn't tell his friends and they continued to own slaves so he had to put up a front like he wasn't against it. Leave'em alone. He lived in a rough time.

Now you sound like a stereotype. BET isn't the only thing I watch on TV, and I hardly ever watch it. (Just not entertaining). You say he was good to his slaves. But you can't ask for independence, say all men are equal but own another man.

We ended slavery. Took us a hundred years, but we ended an oppressive institution as old as time.

America- still taking shit for things that happened hundreds of years ago that were started by Europeans, remember most of the slave traders at the time when America had them were Dutch, Spain, France, and England started the slaughter of the Native Americans, and a group of German Jews invented the nuclear weapons we keep getting crap for having.

Racists are ignorant are they not? Pity ignorant and close-minded people. And not all people whom crack racial slurs are racists, it could mean that they're free spirited.

Before this goes too far, I need to tell you I was joking since the first response. I thought after that last ridiculous response you'd get it but you didn't.

If you don't use an lol, I don't know if you're joking or not.

It depends on the intent behind it. If you're just cracking a joke with your friend, I don't care. If it's meant to degrade, and insult one, then it's offensive.

Always got to be someone out there to start crap. Slavery was horrible, yes we know. It's over now. Everyone is equal now. The past was horrible, yes, but how about looking towards the future now?

I will but just because slavery ended doesn't mean racism still doesn't exist.

If you don't use an lol, I don't know if you're joking or not.

Everyone is equal now. 

Us>>>>>>>>>>>>>Ya'll.

Patriot Act

Private Banks

Obama (LOL)

Recession

People who think The emancipation proclamation freed slaves Instead of knowing It was issued to states In ARMED REBELLION.

etc.,etc.

@Vance Astro: Even if everyone was socially and politically equal we still wouldn't all be truly equal, some would still be stronger, faster, see better, hear better, be smarter or dumber than each other. True 100% equality is an impossibility

lol two pages in and this thread turns to USA's racial history.... still got it 'Merica!
