I guess it’s supporting affirmative action?

Because I’m a 20-something white male I get passed over for jobs sometimes based solely on my skin color because of affirmative action.

We’ve got an african american president. So I think it’s time to drop the whole woe is me thing. Not to mention Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcom X would roll over in there graves if they saw the way most african americans acted. Yeah, you can blame that partly on the educational system in lower income areas. But I don’t see many rappers spreading there wealth around to help inner-city african americans realize there true potential. Instead they spew shit about bitches and hoes and making that green. It’s no surpirse why most inner-city african americans act they way they act. Look at the people they idolize. ^^^ LOL OMG WHAT  Oh dear. “No offence”.
