Im actually about 1/8th Indian

I hardly think its a fair comparison though as we know how truly barbaric the coming of civilization for the U.S. was. What I am saying is that minority groups make up a small % of the population yet are incarcerated right at 10x more than a white man. Govt funded programs are also heavily used by minority groups and we can all agree some are flat out abused.

This country needs some things to change ( no Im not vorting for Obama) and unless the minority groups work with us it will not happen.
We have been doing the same thing for a while now and we can all agree it is a very broken system

I'm still lost on the whole "earn respect" thing. The "founders" of this country forced most of the minorities here and most of the other minorities into exile. "Earn respect"? Maybe it should be the other way around. - Og

Heard that one before. But why should they have to "earn respect" when there are goods and evils throughout all races? Why just minorities?

That was years ago! This is a free country if they want to leave then leave.

Go back to Africa, cuba, mexico, or anywhere you came from if its so much better than here.

I dont have a poblem with black people i have a problem with PEOPLE in general.

Fact of the mater is the people that are in the US are here by choice no body is forced here and everyone can leave.

Good and evil is through all races. Seems some are MUCH worse off than others though.... But then again statistics are racist, we better not bring those up.
