quote: i'm really sick of people using slavery as an excuse too. Was it horrible thing? yes. Would the black people currently in america be better off if there hadn't been slavery? Signs point to no. Their anscestors most likely never would have made it out of africa, and I think most people can agree that there aren't many parts of africa where the situation is all that great. |
I think New Orleans has always been a special case. Let's just say that many whites in New Orleans haven't been "reconstructed." It sticks in my craw that New Orleans is pawning off all of its racial problems for somebody else to deal with. Most other parts of the South have tried to deal with the problems, but I don't sense that New Orleans gives a good goddamn.

What about all the white people that grew up in a ghetto? Remember, the vast majority of the poor are white, and that includes who is in the ghetto. Of course, in the ghetto, you aren't white, you are Italian, or Jew, or Sicilian, or Russian, or Irish, or ---- Well, you get the idea.
There's good people and bad people in any sizable group of humans. You'll just hear about the bad ones quickly, and rarely, if ever, hear of the good ones. Something to keep in mind, I think.
