Why is it that…?
Can someone tell me why white Americans are so concerned with how black Americans talk to/treat each other("N" word)? I don’t understand how they are concerned now that they are not directly responsible. Our cultue and language was completely destroyed…leaving us to start over with whatever scraps we could get. Relatively, we are one of the youngest cultures on Earth. Why do other cultures think they have a say so on how we develop? We are here because we were brought here. Our distant relatives come here to make money and go home. Our home has been lost and our names forgotten. Is there no freedom for us still? We can’t even create our own language while foreigners bring theirs over with no problem? They even make most of their profit in OUR domain(which is poverty)! This is allowed by our government and it’s "heard" supporters. Native Americans are even paid reparations through their reservations and certain immunities. They gave us NOTHING! You want to take that too?
JHMHSI…what other race cannot trace their ancestry BEYOND the U.S.? Good thing we’re dark so it’s at least a little obvious.Language? Gone. I can only go back about 4 generations. It’s hard to understand what you don’t feel.
Ur Young so I’ll spare u the diatribes. All cultures talk to each other in a certain way . Other cultures just have enuff respect to not publicize it. Ive been with Italians and Jews and arabs and they use slurs when amongst each other also.. ITS TRUE!
as far as reparations this is how you can get it but it’ll take hella research and you have to keep ur mouth shut if you get it. You have to trace ur ancestors to slavery, find out who owned them and trace it to some corporation thats in existence today. Then you have to prove that ur ancestor was enslaved by individuals that established or help establish that company through slavery.
it has been done, but again but if it ever happens you can’t run to CNN with the news cuz you’ll get squat.. good luck and you’ll be an old man if you ever get it that far so start now!

If this is how you really feel, then stop referring to yourselves as African and stop trying to link and claim heritage and such to the same. If you are a new culture, there is no past for which you need reparations.

First of all, I’m only thirteen, just trying to get through my adolescence.
My problem with the "N" word is that black people call each other that all the time, yet as soon as a white person says it it becomes racist and offensive.
As for…whatever else you said that strayed from your first question, I dunno, try therapy.

Why are you being so whiny about it? It’s as if you expect to be handed money on a gold plate! Go earn it yourself… stop complaining about foreigners coming to "take" your jobs because you know what? That just means that they’re more qualified than you are! Geez… and don’t think that you’re the only ones who have had it rough. If anything, Native Americans have waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay less representation than African Americans and are treated way worse, so don’t even compare yourselves to them. Every single minority group has had it rough, okay? I’m oriental Asian, and when the Chinese first came here, they were treated very poorly, too. In fact, they had to carry a book with a list of English threats (translated to Chinese) so they’d know if someone was trying to threaten them or wanted to kill them! The same went for Hispanics, Irish, Jewish, etc. So instead of bitching about how bad you’ve got it, why not do something about it?

Why don’t you go to Africa learn what you need to learn? Nobody stole your language from you anyways. I bet most blacks don’t even care what you are talking about. Be an American and stop complaining. Jump in the "melting pot" and forget about it.

Ah, another young racist in waiting.
The "white man" owes you.
Please get a life and stay away from those racists with the bow ties. Jump into the USA pool and swim with the rest of us. Real Americans are not racists and want all people to succeed. All that nigger junk is from the television. Real Americans do not play that racist crap anymore. If you see someone who does you are officially seeing a dinosaur. Real Americans love you and want you as a part of your country. Don’t bother with the words of racists.

Honey, they didn’t bring YOU anywhere, or steal anything from YOU!!
OUR ancestors were sold into slavery by other Africans from a rival tribe for rum, and gold. After purchasing OUR ancestors they capitalized on our ancestors labor(are you following me so far, YOU aren’t involved)
Again your ancestors children were born into slavery in america and were taught a few words, those who learned or knew more were killed…they weren’t afraid to die to learn ENGLISH and how to speak and write it correctly. They worked for hours, broke their backs in fields, and in houses, AGAIN NOT YOU NOR I.
Historical Black Colleges were created for blacks to attend because of segregation, and they wanted to attend to learn and be contributing members of society. A lot of blacks in the 60’s and 70’s talked about making a voyage back to Africa, that never happened…well maybe for vacation!
What I am trying to say is you have a lot of excuses and complaints. More complaints than your slaved ancestors, and probably your more recent family members who witnessed Jim Crowe. They had real white people holding them back then, who do you have NOW, nobody but yourself. Yes, there is racial profiling, yes there is still racism. But, you have more knowledge, and capabilities to succeed then they did….
They wouldn’t have dared try making someone believe they need to use the "N" word because they were made slaves, or playing the victim because they were enslaved. Piss or get off the pot.

Dude, seriously. . .
WE DO NOT GET REPARATIONS.
The money we get is via casino or Natural resources the Feds take off our lands. for the most part it’s the resources. ie. Mineral rights, timber, natural gas, oil, etc. They don’t even pay FAIR MARKET value either.
There is no FREE money.
