Can blacks and whites stop ..

Okay, there are some truths to certain statements made here on. However, they tend to be offensive and un-pleasurable to the people who it is aimed at. I have been guilty of that myself. However, I notice my sarcasm and meanness is fueled by people that continuously lie and deny the obvious issues facing certain races.

In order for a problem to be solved, we must first admit to the problems existence. Ignoring it will not do anything; it will only give the other side more ammo to use against them. An example I will use is black crime. We all know, thanks to Ralph K's famous statistics that blacks commit more crimes. Now after we acknowledge this it is time to identify the source of this problem; then we can work on fixing it. Education, sports teams, community centers, etc. Another is whites trying to use rap as an excuse to use as many racial slurs as they like. They must admit that they are harboring racism because why else would they be so defensive for Imus鈥?words?

Regarding the standards of beauty and whiteness we must recognize that black women, particularly dark-skinned women aren't considered as beautiful as lighter ones by society. Those little kids that come home crying because they were called nappy heads and darkly deserve some answers. People need to be aware of their 鈥榩references鈥?for whiteness and how it affects the people that don鈥檛 have enough. These men, black too, that ignore dark skinned women and instantly stare and hit on light ones need to be made aware of their behavior and the women they hurt. Then you find the darker calling the lighter pale pasty, high yellow, etc. Will it ever end?
