chihouse working I like that idea. most educated blacks don't want something ( cash) just for ourselves in the idea of reparations. having a national college fund or business fund that suppliments what is given in financial aid or business loans through sba would be...

chihouse and affirmative action is not for blacks. regardless of its original purpose. it is for all minorities in American, so that includes all women of any race, and all people that aren't white men, so if a company only has to hire so many minorities they still...

chihouse wow that's a lot to take in... what I will say is that I don't like the fact that "white-collar" crimes get lesser punishments than that of crimes of the working class. but that is the way of the world, the haves against the have nots.

chihouse Richard Wright, a black author said that we should "go easy" on white people cause they historically they do wrong to everyone, even themselves. he said that we kinda have to pity them, and be nice even though they've done all these terrible things.
