AFTER ALL THESE YEAR NOW AN APOLOGY? THE RACIST I’M SURE APOLOGIZED BECAUSE HE’S OLD AND CLOSER TO DEATH AND TRYING TO GET A FREE
(”I’M NOT A RACIST…MUCH”) CARD PASS TO HEAVEN. AFTER ALL THESE YEAR WHY ACCEPT AN APOLOGY?? THAT RACIST HAD 50+ YEAR TO CONTACT Rep. John Lewis (D-Ga.) THIS IS JUST AS BAD AS THE U.S. GIVING THAT HALF AZZED APOLOGY FOR SLAVERY. KEEP THE APOLOGIES THEY’RE EMPTY AND A BIT LATE.
the ironic part is that this article presented a racial seperation tactic, which tends to be successful often. presenting a good story with a subliminal spin, messages of a underlying meaning to fuel racial seperation. lets see a positve story, picture and right below it past racist images to redirect your attention off the story and allow those to feel the hatred prior to their time or well being. in result racial division and on the other hand there are those that rise above while disregarding the ignorance.
it is a cryin shame after all this time so much hate in the world still exist black thre the media and tv also even the white house still treated like s**t even in our comunitys i am a jamaican american and its said we hav blacks in tv, music,movies art,etc we are human just like any other race i feel every race has been unjust but still untill u have watched urfamily raped,beaten,called hateful names . we as colored people have truly come along way and no race has begone to know what the struggle is like blacks from every nation has suffed
