Race In America

After reading a few articles from those sites, it is crazy how some people still view blacks these days. Also, there were a few articles that caught my eye. One was about a guy who talked about how white people are racist to blacks and how black people are also racist to other blacks. He talked about how black people with more brown skin and black people with darker skin are racist to each other and it is like living in three worlds. It is crazy that this guy had to face racism, not just from white people but from other black people as well. He said he didn’t have “good hair” and couldn’t pass for lighter in the winter months but it always turned his hair red.

Another article that I read was one about black people being better off enslaved again. How can somebody actually make this statement? It is absolutely absurd that somebody can say that. The guy said, “blacks are more devastated” today than when they were enslaved because of the high rate of abortion among some blacks.” He also said slavery “is a crushing mark on America's soul, yet today half of all black children are aborted. Half of all black children are aborted. Far more black children, far more of the African American community is being devastated by the policies of today than were being devastated by the policies of slavery." He is arguing that because black people have so many abortions, that they are better off enslaved because the community is more devastated from the abortions than slavery. This is extremely racist and somewhat doesn’t even make sense. I don’t know how this guy could come up with this.
