I don't care if "may have been abused" is offensive. It's accurate. There's no way of knowing whether or not one black person's ancestors were slaves to white people or not. And even so, there wouldn't be a way of knowing whether or not my ancestors owned slaves, or whether or not my ancestors owned his ancestors. And unless my ancestors owned his ancestors, I would have nothing to do with anything about him. And in all honesty, unless I personally persecuted HIM, I wouldn't be obligated to give up a job I'm better qualified for as a for of "retribution". Hell, I can trace my geneology back to the American colonies and earlier, does that mean that one of my ancestors was scalped and now every Indian owes me their job?
lordblazer -- Your life isn't hard "because the world views you as a black male". Your life is hard because YOU view you as a black male, and are too busy pitying yourself because of that to have the ethic to go out and work just like everybody else. Minorities don't have to work any harder than white males at all in America. You say nobody benefits from Affirmative Action? How about the minorities that are given jobs based not on their qualifications, but because the employer needs them so he can reach his quota of minority workers? And nobody is disadvantaged from it? What about the guy that's well-qualified for a job but doesn't get it because his skin is white?
You say the NAACP isn't racist? You're got to count in all the people that speak for it--people like Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton. People that play the race card at every single imagineable opportunity. People that say things like, "O.J. Simpson isn't guilty, a white man murdered those two people, they're just trying to pin it on O.J. because he's a successful black man." Or comparing Micheal Jackson's court case to Nelson Mandella and Mohammed Ali. Because Micheal Jackson is black--and you know, it's only because he's black that people are "persecuting" him. The NAACP is a big supporter of things like Affirmative Action, which is racist, and is against common-sense things, like "there are too many black people in prison." Well sorry NAACP, that's because there are too many black criminals.
As for the NAACP vs. the KKK, they're both racist. (Do you know anything about the Black Panthers?) But nobody is trying to say the NAACP is as bad as the KKK, because we all know the history behind both of them.
