Life OMG: 1000 posts here I come... - Page 11

This is an excellent 47 minute long video. It's based off the older brown eyed blue eyed documentary done in the 60's.

Basically it goes to show people how we (black people) feel like we have to "play the game" to get by.

Of course YOU aren't the one's that enslaved us etc, and YOU may not be a racist but this is an excellent way to see how disadvantaged and how many obstacles we have when it comes to succeeding in life.

Here's the vid.

Please watch it with an open mind and maybe see that we kinda have a point to feel that way instead of trying to defend how you're treated as we are.

Well, when you ask for something to put into your soup they don't yell at you, right?

Mike Mas... What happened with your job in that case? You never followed up on what happened?

Donger, after watching the vid... you pull your head out of the sand a lil bit about what's actually happening outside of suburbia?

94% of what I'm saying is intended to be humorous. I watched the movie, not really swayed either way, but I went into it with a negative attitude. She probably woulda kicked me out, she's a bitch and I don't completely understand the implied plight of the black man.

Did you walk away with a sense of how we've altered our lives and treated differently because of our skin color?

Can you expand on that? Why do I feel like I'm pulling teeth?

Not really. I've been intimately familiar with being a smartass since I was a boy.
