Answer 7

Lol that's pretty much one of the best questions I've heard.  Check out some of Obama's wife's speeches...she's more racist than any white person I've met.  In fact, I don't know any white people who act the way she does.  And don't tell me, "oh...well you can't talk because you're white and you didn't suffer from kkk subjection or slavery".  Did you?  Personally?  It's the 21st freaking century people.  It's time to get over it.  Stop using it as a crutch to feel sorry for yourselves.  It is really quite simple...color of skin does not determine quality of soul.  There you go.  Accept it.  Whether you are white or black.  Only then can we be happy as a "people".
