The way I see it is...black people want to be totally equal...and rightly so. However, saying its ok for black people to be racist 'because of the history' while its not ok for white people to be racist...well thats not equal is it? Letting one get away with being ignorant while blasting the other for the same thing (not saying anyone should be 'allowed' to be racist though...having a bit of a hard time putting what I actually mean into words )

I actually dont understand why skin colour matters to anyone anyway...its only skin
Exactly, why should we all be judged or given rights to anything based on the actions of our ancestors.

But, I've only just realised this is another thread turned into a USA vs Rest of the World thread with lostalex. lol
