The presidential election has exposed the elephant in the room. Its brought out the most controversial racial issues to the face of America.
The only way we can move forward is honesty. I want to know HONESTLY how White people feel about Black, how do Black people feel about Whites. I’ll start.
I don’t dislike White people. I dislike SOME White peoples ACTIONS (I also dislike some Black peoples actions, imagine that!). I don’t like how some White people magnified the issue of Black people voting for Obama strictly because he’s Black. #1 that was not the main reason and the point of choosing a president is to choose some one who represents you, duh! You don’t see Black people throwing that in the face of White people who choose Hillary-Billary simply because she’s White (WEST VIRGINA).
On top of that, many Black people have not put Hillary down. We respect her run and respect her, but you have people like Mike Norman who make this Curious George Monkey shirt and he has the audacity to sell it! Why is that? Why is it that the first attack some White people make against us has to be about our skin color, our looks, our culture? This is what I don’t like, now your turn! Be honest!

Check out the Monkey Shirt and tell me if you think this is ok. Are Black people Monkey's to you? Should he be selling this? Is this racial to you (I wouldn't be surprised if some one said no, but I will apreciate the honesty!)
Jermey P- I don't know if you can't read, but I said SOME!!! When SOME white people skip over words and take it personal, I think it shows a sign of guilt!
CHARITY G-THANK U! THANK U FOR HONESTY! Now, if I may, I agree. Imagine that, I, a Black women don't like the high school drop out rate either. I don't like the baby daddy's with tons of baby mommas either. But, I also know that Black people are not the only ones with that problem. You can see a whole slew of White people with the exact same problem in any Trailer park town usa! Skin heads are gangs and growing up in a predominately White City, that is the gang that I faced on a daily basis. And, Black is always an okay term or African American, but I know you’re smart enough to know the "N" word is never ok, right?
Mutt- I am Black, I like it and I'm proud of it. If you're White, you should like it and be proud of it. It is our culture, background and everybody should feel ok with celebrating culture! On that same note, women everywhere are lined up to cheer if the first Women president finally takes office. Its a milestone, that's why people bring it up, that's why people celebrate it, and there's nothing wrong with that!
