people like you see political correctness as a infringment on the right to free speech as opposed to a tool to fix America's biggest sociological problem

Ebonics is not a language, its a slang, a horrible one.  |
Like I said, it's not about hip hop it is a culture that I have a distaste for. I find it sad that people of "colour" are so sensitive when those in that culture are made fun of.
I like reggae, love it. Do I think that the AA race has brought some good to my country or counter culture?-yes. In fact last year I held hands with a black man during "Redemption Song" at a Wailers concert.
Have you ever heard of a redneck? Better yet- a black redneck, I haven't but just wondering (
). Rednecks are a type of culture- if you will, that are associated with white people. Yet white people don't get all hyped up and most join along joking it as well. There are redneck shows, pictures and jokes all over the place.
Never once have I seen a white person get offended- because it is a
choice to be like that. Granted you don't see a movement or trend to be one. There aren't songs perpetuated about being one- not any that are serious I don't believe.
You ask me to base my feelings on black people on live situations, what I have experienced. I live here.
Feel free to pan on down to the 1989 Greekfest riots: It was on my 12th birthday. My city was ripped apart.

Were they black?- yes. Am I a racist?- no.
Did I "turn" racist after a black man robbed me at the register at a coffee shop?-no. But ask me if he was wearing baggy pants and a doo rag.
Did I "turn" racist after being heckled at a McDonalds and cut in front of by a group of black men who knew I wouldn't do anything harmful to them if they did so?-no. But ask me what culture they represented.
A black man carjacked my neighbor and beat her badly a few months ago...and so forth.
Mind you- These are personal experiences
and not what I see on the news everyday. It wears on you.
I have many fine experiences with all people everyday. Again it is not the color it is the culture.
As soon as you realize that and stop critizing those that have problems with that culture you wouldn't be condoning it. So I beg you sir to explore your own "limited view of the world".
Lastly, do you even have a Hummer? Or did you just use the whole Hummer owner thing as an excuse to jump in?
