It's funny how they never have a clue when you bring it to them. Below is the response I posted because s/he couldn't understand why I was so upset. Here goes: Shabazz said... No _______, I just don't kowtow to people that hate my existense due to the color of my skin. Would you like it if certain people felt like you don't have the right to be on this earth? I am thoroughly sick and tired of being sick and tired. Not just for myself, but my family, friends, my kids, we all have experienced racism at the hands of white people. In fact, ask any random Black person if they've ever been discriminated against and see what type of answers you get. And what's really sad is you people actually think it's "god's will" for you to treat us the way you do.Do you really think you (in general) would get into heaven the way you treat people based on the color of their skin? In this country (and probably other places), a dog gets treated with more humanity than a Black person. I cannot and I will not discount my race for anyone anytime period. Live a week in my skin, and tell me if I'm wrong for feeling the way I do.
