Let us all just face it, I don't care how liberal some people try to be, there will always be racism and prejudices in this country. As long as there is differences and a history behind, we'll always have that division amongst blacks and whites in particular. Now the only difference between the south and the north, is that Northern folks tend to be more discreet about their prejudices against others, while in the south, they don't have no shame showing off the colors of the confederate flag. I know all white people aren't prejudice, but like I said there's always going to be this divsion between us,all because the white man don't understand the black man, as the black man don't understand the white man, or the white prespective as well as the black perspective of this country.
The african was always hard to understand. All you have to do is read the history of Chaka zulo and just see how powerful blacks where before coming to this country we call the united states of america. I think the reason why we don't understand each other or where either race is coming from, leads to fear which leads to hatred, which will end up in pride and prejudices and rule the world like it seems to be doing til this very day. What I can't understand is, not the difference between our nationalities, but why can't we just see simple we're human despite our differnce, culture, religion, creed or status, We all come in the same way and we all die the same way, Doesn't matter how rich or poor you are, when you die you can't take nothing with you, the only thing you can take with you is the reputation you live behind amongst friends.
I'm just going to be honest, I don't know what to say about my country half the time, because at times it does seem as if the land of free makes a living out of fals promises and broken dreams. I mean I think about How I'm black and america and how sometime back in the 1800's my people where supposed to be free, yet til this day I can't help but to see alot slaves walking around, not even knowing who there slaves master are. Just think about all the inmates giving free labor at our states prisons alone, if this ain't a new democracy of slavery then I don't know what is. I don't want to get in to deep with this dicussion, I guess all I'm trying to say is, this world just will never change, because we're to stubborn in our ways and as the saying goes, you can't teach a old dog new tricks... how old is America? The United states of America?

You fill in the blanks...
