"However politicians don't routinely recommended and rally
for shiftless whites to be shipped back to Europe.
It's always Welfare blacks and never welfare whites. Heck Pres Obama is one of
the most intelligent presidents we have had."
Lawd, tell it! I get so sick and damn tired of people like Rep.
Paul Ryan claiming “inner city poverty” results from folks who’ve refused to
work for generations. They claim those “urban people” would rather live off the
government than earn an honest day’s pay. They talk about how crack cocaine has
destroyed the black community.
You never, ever hear those same people talking about rural
whites in the same manner. Nope, those “good, hardworking Americans” have been dealt
a raw deal, a bad hand; their poverty is a result of circumstances beyond their
control. You never hear those same folks complain about the various types of
addiction that have ravaged parts of Eastern KY. For them, poor people in Eastern
KY are poor because of something that was
done TO them; poor people in NOLA are poor because of something they’ve done to
themselves.
Pharrell is right that there are some issues that are our
own, of our own making, but even those issues can be directly correlated to
white privilege, domination, and the policies they’ve enacted. The last slave
was freed in 1964, not 1865. We never got that 40 acres nor that mule. Instead, we
got an additional 100 years of indentured servitude, terrorism, robbery, rape,
and murder. There are big problems in the Black community, no doubt, but in a
very short period of time we’ve come a mighty, mighty long way.

After watching it she hit the nail on the head. If the black person speaks about the injustice its "you're too hyper sensitive" or "reverse racism". All bullsh*t. It's like we don't have the right to point out our own injustices, or it becomes "that black person who is just whining all the time". This is the kind of crap we are dealing with now. Even other blacks are being fooled by it, this recent societal pressure to not speak up about something that is clearly racist or offensive. We now encourage each other to shut up. It's some weird psychological brainwash that we don't have the right to speak up when we have been wronged-- and even when you do speak up, everyone has been trained to deafen their ears to it when it comes from the mouth of the person who actually experiences it. Then we get called the angry black woman, the aggressive black man, the reverse racist. 
And I used to like some of his stuff.
