Lil Wayne claims he's never experienced racism in the US

Okay! It's settled! Racism does not exist in the US!

next topic please, from my basement to yours....

That is great that he hasn't had to face racism. That doesn't prove it doesn't exist.

If you listen to guys like McWhorter, he talks about the authentic black is a black whose identity involves being persecuted dealing with fighting racism. In public blacks have to declare how he is persecuted by racism or else things make go back to how things used to be but in private the discussion of racism is much less.

The tension between cops and police is really the last major issue of racism today. And a lot of that is due to history of racism in police forces and the drug war.

Yeah but what about Ja Rule? Can't make an informed decision without his input

You do know that blacks have been protesting the unjust shooting of unarmed blacks by police for decades. You just have a problem with the name #BlackLivesMatter. Again blacks have been protesting the unjust shootings and murders of unarmed blacks for decades.

I'm Mexican and grew up in California. Blacks were always trying to victimize the hispanics. The police were not the problem it was the blacks trying to pick on us. The Hispanics out numbered the blacks and we were able to check them. Hispanics face their own racism but then again we all do but the blacks are the only cry babies. #letsrunlivesmatter

Some people say their tactics are too heavy handed. I am one of them.

Others say they do not do enough to separate themselves enough or are not critical enough of rioters who take advantage of their protests and riot

Racism against blacks draws the most attention because of the slavery era nature. It's unfortunate that racism against other is ignored, kind of a double standard.

That's interesting. And no matter what you say there's always an "excuse". But but but...

It wasn't so bad 10, 20 years ago. Blacks have regressed only recently in blaming everyone but themselves for their own problems. Maybe it's the influence of Islam seeing this is a trait of that religion.

Addition info to my post above.

I do think blacks still face individuals who racist and their are lingering affects of slavery and Jim Crow.

If blm want to protest, they have the right. In some cases I agree with their protests.
