I know its been a long time past but still. Show me one person who hasn't said something racist or told a racist joke and I'll show you a liar. You guys are hypocrites about something that Eminem did as a kid. Look at black comedians, they say racist jokes (ie. cracker)about white people but you think its ok because you laughed. I'm sure we all have done something as a teenager that we regret but if he does truly apologize for it, then forgive. I understand the frustrations of someone thinking you are a certain way but if you don't want "white supremacists" laughing at you, then you have to tear down the generalizations that have been placed on your culture. To quote I-Kyaala: "IT'S TIME FOR A SERIOUS BEATDOWN TO HAPPEN. RIGHT NOW! KICK HIS FACE IN, NOW!" Now do you honestly want everyone to perceive you as being a violent person? Why? Why fall into another stereotype that has been place on the black community. Why not rise above that and forgive. Lastly, to quote Emmanaul Lewis: "I SAY FUCK THAT CRACKER". Aren't you being a hypocrite about the situation? I didn't realize racism is a double standard. Straight from the dictionary: Cracker: an abusive or slang term for a white person. If what situation was reversed? You mean a black guy being racist towards a white guy? Black comedians have been doing that for years. That doesn't receive any attention because white people just ignore it. In all I'm just saying that, no one is better then anyone else and everyone makes mistakes. Forgive and forget, just don't be a hypocrite. Both sides have it bad but of course the black community has had it worse. We have come a long way since the Jim Crow laws and are making progress, there is no reason to stop now. 574281@blogcritics.org Thu, 12 Apr 2007 07:17:25 EDT
