[QUOTE="FallToYourKnees"]I don't think you understand. I am disappointed in blacks because so many people worked so hard to give them their freedom and they repay them with rap music, crime, drugs, etc.MrGeezer

1) No one owes you or I ****. That's part of being "free". People can do what they want to, regardless of race.

2) Yeah, as if blacks are the only ones doing crime/drugs. And as far as rap goes, I don't even see why you mentioned that. There's something morally wrong with crime and excessive drug use, but is there something morally wrong with rap? I'm not even going to mention that other races like rap, and create rap. The thing that perplexes me is why you even bothered to mention rap at all. What the hell does rap music have to do with anything?\

3) I'm gonna give you the benefit of the doubt and assume that you're not a racist. However, you REALLY need to work on your presentation. For example, you said, "I am disappointed in blacks because so many people worked so hard to give them their freedom...". Do you really NOT see how this looks like you're stereotyping blacks? Delivery, dude. There might be a worthwhile message in here, but it's in how you present it. If I made an equivalent topic here, except about whites instead, I'd likely be banned.

This is gonna be good I'll start it off, btw

Having said this, my question to all blacks is this: Why are the whites still looked upon as the enemy? If it weren't for us, you'd still be picking cotton, having you your family members decide who gets the most whip-lashings for each day and you still decide to hold you damned grudges? We took you from Africa and brought you here as slaves, yes. We then also gave you freedom and the ability to live free in this country. Based on this, it's obvious that the majority of white men have gotten over their hateful ways, but most blacks still haven't. Does this mean that Kennedy and Lincoln died for nothing?

Really?????? I dunno what history book you reading but you better throw it away.

In short, black people wouldn't have been in the situation for white people to "give" them freedom if the white people had never taken them in the first place, just because they changed their ways doesn't change what they did.

As sad as this may sound, most whites who grow up in mountainous regions or basically, are born unto a "redneck" family, are taught to hate blacks. Their parents don't actually sit them down and say "this is what you do to them jig boys if ya see 'em" but the children hear their parents complaining about blacks and therefore, they don't see them as anything more than a waste.

In total, I love everyone, and I'm willing to give anyone a chance to show me that they deserve acceptance, but some people just can't understand that civility is necessary for people to accept you.

I don't like it when black people complain about racism. The word **** (for some reason, white people are afraid to say it and just call it "the n-word") is a reference to the color of a man's skin. It is derived from the latin "niger" meaning black. I never understood why this word is so offensive.I don't care if someone calls me "cracker", "white trash", or "redneck" so why is it so bad for blacks to be referred to as "****s"?

"Standing up" to racism is also quite annoying. In school, there was a white boy running through the halls yelling "coon". Later that day after school had concluded, three older black males chased him down and beat him. The other black kids in the school praised them for doing this. They laughed about it and saw it as something to honor themselves for. So let me ask you this: If Jesus Christ had gotten his followers to chase down the Jews and terrorize all of them because they mistreated him, is that something to praise him for?

Someone did this in history, if you don't remember. Adolf Hitler committed what is undoubtedly the most horrifying act in the history of the human race in what we call "The Holocaust". He captured and tortured the Jewish people of Europe. Today, we look down upon him, almost as much as the Antichrist himself. So if you turn the tables, and have a black man committing this act, is it okay? Apparently, in the eyes of the blacks, it is. That is what disappoints me most of all.

In addition to that, most blacks have become a disgrace to their ancestors with the America they have created today. If you don't remember, this country used to be run on slavery. A WHITE man named Abraham Lincoln gave his life so that blacks could at least be free from slavery.

Unfortunately, this wasn't enough. The whites of the south persisted with their hatred and made sure the blacks still had to live uncomfortably in this country. This continued until another WHITE man came along and was elected as US President. His name was John F. Kennedy, and he too died so that the black man could one day see true freedom.

Having said this, my question to all blacks is this: Why are the whites still looked upon as the enemy? If it weren't for us, you'd still be picking cotton, having you your family members decide who gets the most whip-lashings for each day and you still decide to hold you damned grudges? We took you from Africa and brought you here as slaves, yes. We then also gave you freedom and the ability to live free in this country. Based on this, it's obvious that the majority of white men have gotten over their hateful ways, but most blacks still haven't. Does this mean that Kennedy and Lincoln died for nothing?

Now, considering not only Kennedy and Lincoln, but ALL who lived and died so that blacks could be free. And what have they given their ancestors? Well, today, most blacks can be associated with gang violence, drugs, criminal acts such as murder and theft, rap music, and no desire to educate themselves at all.

Having said this I'd like to ask you: Is this how you honor your forefathers? Martin Luther King Jr. died so that you could produce rap music so you can sing about girls, sex, cars, money, etc? So you can go play in the NFL earning millions of dollars a year only to be arrested for dogfighting (Michael Vick), murdering your wife (OJ Simpson), shooting yourself in the leg (Plaxico Burress), etc? So you can go rob your local convenient store with your "homies" or go bust a cap in some fool's ass?

I understand that some blacks really do try to properly honor their history, but the sad fact is that most don't. It's a damn shame, it really is. The slaves busted their asses, the Civil war soldiers busted their asses, the Civil rights movement supporters busted their asses for you and you don't even care.

Suddenly, in 2008, America's government becomes headed by a black man for the first time ever. After this, black people began shoving it in the faces of the white men. ARE YOU JOKING?! There was even some stupid ass rap artist who wrote a song called "My President's Black" or something similar to that. Basically, the song is stating that all of his dreams came true, one of those dreams being that he would have a black President. That's a **** disgrace. If the blacks were proud that he was a SUCCESSFUL black President, then it would be a different story. They are praising the fact that he is a BLACK President, not the fact that he is a SUCCESSFUL black President. Let him finish the rest of his term, and then praise him.

All I ask of the black people is to just live your lives. Go out and do something worth bragging for. Money isn't bragging rights, making a positive difference is. Go out and let everyone know that MLK Jr., Lincoln, Kennedy, and all others who fought for you didn't die in vain. Show them that you truly are grateful for their actions. Quit worrying about how low your chain hangs and instead focus on how highly your ancestors look upon you.

For those of you that actually do understand me, and actually do attempt to make a difference, God bless you, for you are the wise one. For those who don't I'll keep your names within my prayers.

God bless you all, and thank you for reading.

I say do it like the Madden 10 cover. But instead have Brees with the Lombardi trophy in his hands and Reggie Wayne dropping a TD pass. :PDarth_Revan_666

Brees with a TD pass and Reggie Wayne dropping the Lombardi trophy. 

That'd be perfect. 

Fallout 3 for the 360. When you add all of the DLC, the game is just too difficult to set aside.

This year, EA is letting the fans vote for the Madden cover athlete based on three pre-nominated players. 

Your choices are:

Jared Allen, DE, Minnesota Vikings
Drew Brees, QB, New Orleans Saints
Reggie Wayne, WR, Indianapolis Colts

Just go to www.doritoschangethegame.com to vote for one of the aforementioned players.

Personally, I voted for Drew.
