I've seen enough racism as practiced by police, government in general, and private corporations that any argument asserting that black folks don't take responsibility because they'd prefer to cry racism seems pretty biased.
Most black folks I know would prefer to not be followed in stores, not be pulled over for driving nice cars, and not have the shit beaten out of them by the cops. The fact that there is an underlying connection, namely their skin color for those too obtuse to notice, should not have to be pointed out -- yet here in 21st-century America, is still needs to be argued, discussed, and won.
I agree that people should take responsibility for their actions. I don't think, however that blacks should have to own the bigotry of the whites who haggle them. Where does that line lie?
Well, that's one hell of a discussion right there, compadre.
