I'm going to go ahead and disagree with you strongly here. Of course blacks need to be portrayed in a positive light. We have idiots like ly2 who think, with no scientific proof whatsoever and no historical understanding on racial relations, that for some reason blacks are inferior to whites intellectually. We have others like hellblazer that not only believe so, they further believe that the average black male has sociopathic tenancies that can only be corrected through a systematic exposure to white culture for the majority of his developing years.
The plain and simple fact is that even on this board, it's perfectly okay to call me a nigger, oreo-without-filling, moon cricket, etc... but dare I even MENTION an incredible achievement from a black girl, I am a god damn racist! How dare I be proud of another black's resilience?
Quite frankly, I really do admire her. At her age, I wasn't remotely as dedicated, intelligent or focused as she is and I think she deserves a lot of praise, especially because of the environment she grew up in.
In an utopian society, yes I agree that no race deserves any particularly favorable press, but in the USA - we need all the good rep we can get.
No, retard. Most blacks are much, MUCH more racist than me.
I believe it's more about when we post other cool things or achievements here we don't focus on the person's race. In this thread you put specific focus on the race. Heck, you capitalized that shit in the title.
