The difference is that people assuming you're a stoner is lightyears different fomr them assuming you're going to break into their house, or mug them, or rape their children. You can change your clothes and get a respectabnle hair cut and go for a job interview - guarantee no one's going to say "man..this guy..if I hire him, he's gonna fuckin skate all over this place".
Man, with every post your shit is blowing up in your face. Especially when you're running in the opposite direction of the facts I'm bitchslapping you with.

Ironically, this whole conversation is about blacks and you trying to compare your mild struggles to the history of black struggles. Your entire arguement if chock-full-o-holes.
Oh BTW Turban, here's my post that you
conveniently missed:

One day you'll put down the gas nozzle as you watch the numbers roll by and say "damn...isn't it time for that racism shit to end? I mean people still make funny faces as they walk past and smell how musty I am. It's fuckin 2005 for Ganesha sakes".[/irony]
C: Jews' torment on a large scale ended after WW2. Who dosen't socially accept a jew as another white man these days?? Blacks however don't have that level of blendability. No matter where I go (maybe except the Dominican Republic), people know I'm black.
OSB: You'd have a valid point if it were actually based on facts. The "black schools" tht you're implying are shoddy schools. I can tell you live a sheltered life beause you've never seen such a school system. I'm sure you feel that all public scools are about the same as yours was, when in fact they're not. I used to go to such a school and I didn't have a desk. Me and 5 other kids sat at a round table and shared 2 books that were from the late 70's. The condition of the books is something of an entirely different converstion. As a matter of fact, I failed a math class as a direct result of not having a math book. Believe me man, it's not a matter of takign things for granted. It's a matter of not having things. 'm not saying it's always the case, but in the sitaution you mentioned, it definitely is.

Don't forget to adress those points now, 'kay?
