Very interesting read an understandable.



Exogamy rates among African American women are exceptionally low.

Not sure where to begin here. Michelle Obama has invited Jill Scott to be a guest at the White House. Michelle Obama fully knows the controversy caused by Jill Scott's interracial dating comments. I can only see this as a ploy to get more black couples to vote for Obama. Also hoping to bring out the racists in the right political party.

But what about the racists in his own party?



Or is it like I heard it explained one time that... and no, I did not make this up, this is a direct quote....



Only whites can be racist because racism is hating black people and no black person hates other blacks.

Hm... not sure if I understand where this is coming from.

That quote.. what a freaking crock of crap.

Quote from who?

 

[DrLeftover]

The quote was from a young black gentleman who was enjoying the hospitality of one of the State's long term residency facilities where I happened to be working at the time.



And he was quite serious when he said it.



And based on observations since then, especially instances such as the various cases where the Authorities declined to prosecute ethnic individuals for Hate Crimes when such charges are brought against whites in similar circumstances, it would appear to be true.

Oh come on, a black man can be as racist as any other man of race. Even against his own people.

*snigger.*

That's kinda sad.

I can honestly say that, at the time, he would not have believed that statement.



Hopefully, in the intervening fifteen years or so, he has learned otherwise.



If not, when and if he was released, he would probably not be on the street long.
