I don’t know any other way!

I feel that sometimes people use race as a crutch to act a certain way, and do certain things. People claim ignorance, come up with excuses and have a lot of pressure put on them. As long as we have things like affirmative action there will always be disparities between races.

I’m glad to live in America. Race plays an important role in our society. There is definitely discrimination against black people in our country, but there are also some black people that use it as a crutch.
Example of the former: I got a speeding ticket in Maryland Heights Missouri circa 2001. When I went to the court house to pay the ticket, (I’m white), the entire place was full of black people who got pulled over for Tailgating. I was the only white person in the room. The worst part was hardly in black people live in Maryland Heights Missouri. Definitely some profiling going on there in 2001.
I’m glad you have this website up.
Thank you!
Being a minority is NOT a crutch!

As part of a minority group, it can be very aggravating when I hear others say that they were given a reprimand at work, a ticket while driving, or a bad grade, JUST because they are of a minority group. “Racist!” they yell on top of their lungs, what happened to personal accountability?! Most of these people were late to work constantly, were driving 15mph over the speed limit, or never studied. It is time we stop blaming our race or using it as a crutch!!!
