Racism Discussions Add To Black's Hypertension Issues!!

Well, it's definitely NOT EVER GOING AWAY...so trying to even solve the issue, or continue debating it just adds to "our" High Blood Pressure Issues...am I wrong?

Just a li'l tidbit to make yo go Hmmm?

Not mine.

So instead of discussing it and trying and educating and doing our best to overcome it, we should just let it be, c'est la vie, life goes on?

technically yes...nobody ever changes their minds or opinions whole heartedly in these discussions...

rdhull said:

I see your point...

But I have to ask, are we any better off today then we were 50 years ago? And if so, how did we get there?

Hmmm...does this mean we can sue Prince.org for encouraging these discussions to take place???...

We are better off than 50 years ago because we are able to fake like we give a shit or care about the other in a more presenting way. Nobody ever really cares about anything except their own when it comes down to it. You see it many times..the gay people get upset if something is offensive to their culture..same with blacks..same with whites..same with anybody..same with princefamns and prince detractors lol..nobody gives a shit except when it effects them or their cause. Nature at play again.

Man...I'm SOOO burnt out on that discussion right now. Who knew that I would be so alone in defending a position--talk about feeling unpopular!

nah..it helps to get some of the tension people feel about it out..even if it isnt going to change anything..thats one less fight in the street(so to speak)to deal with.

I don't think you were put off as unpopular or disliked per se'..those who opposed your views etc. respected your position even if they didnt agree with it. They might not have said it but they know you weren't some neanderthal-like thinker.

rdhull said:

Yeah well...actually I was pleased that it never turned into flaming. And I guess for that reason alone, the discussion was productive. It's so hard to talk about these things without setting off somebody's feelings.

It's all good...just venting my exhaustion.

teller said:

I hear ya...one last thing on this. I feel that it all stems from not wanting to be hated. No culture,ethnicity etc. wants another person or race,religion or whatever to dislike them etc. Everyone wants acceptance and to be loved, and when that doesn't happen, it becomes..fucked.
