And it's been said over and over again to the point where people just pretend it isnt going on. The way that the society has been setup, anyone can over come it, but of course minorities are gonna have to fight alot harder. Take africa for example: most of the black people in the entire land of Africa had to FIGHT for the right to vote. The white countries come in and take crops, they raise the price of life and now everyone in those countries are poor. I'm sure you know the situation in America, eh I'ma stop bitching, I just hate when people make this shit seem like nothing, when they're not even directly effected by it.

bro racism is the same all over the world America aren't a special case...i know what you mean and i totally agree black individuals will go through racist encounters a lot more than white people which is a fair statement...but thing is people have racially slurred my "light skin" but thing is i chose not to acknowledge it coz personally people who insult my skin colour are people who are no better than people who insult my mother...their ALL jokes...racism in the black community is more noticable ONLY because of the history behind it...whereas white people never experienced slavery...YOU didn't...

people like MLK & Malcom X spoke out and eventually died for equal rights...you think they'd want people today still complaining over ish that happened 100's of years ago...they fought for equal rights so that people could move on from the past...

and i may be white...but i do have a right to speak about them coz them 2 were amazing people...i hate the idea of slavery and people being hated on jus because of colour...
