COLEMAN HUGHES: Black people don't need another apology. We need safer neighborhoods and better schools. We need a less punitive criminal justice system. We need affordable health care. And none of these things can be achieved through reparations for slavery...
Reparations by definition are only given to victims, so the moment you give me reparations, you've made me into a victim without my consent. Not just that, you've made 1/3 of black Americans who poll against reparations into victims without their consent, and black Americans have fought too long for the right to define themselves to be spoken for in such a condescending manner.

TIMES
Then you have the "gangsta" negros that cause them all to have a bad reputation.
If all the colored people tried to not act like violent monkeys calling each other nigga this and nigga that while wearing gold chains around their necks and flashing guns and wads of money with grills in their teeth,
and quit committing most of the murders against their own people by statistics which makes them seem even more violent, by learning real english instead of ebonics, (they teach that in some schools now, how to talk like a "gangsta") maybe their lot in life would improve.
You get out of the world what you put into it.
Pure and simple. Call me racist, I don't give a fuck. A similar statement could be made about white folk in the US too.
