Powell endorses Obama

[BgMc31]

and dont be so defensive, out of the norm? i dont think so - white, black, yellow really just matters how our mommys and daddys raised us. imo (humble)

We are all products of our environment and experiences. When you grow up hearing these type stereotypes you tend to get defensive when you hear it. Just like you tend to get defensive when Christianity is being assaulted or negative stereotypes are brought up, I can say the same in matters of race.

well, as i do understand your point... we have to let go of those things, i was the only white kid in the back neighborhood... three things happen i got chased alot and became very fast!!! i got caught sometimes and got beat up really bad!!! then i stopped running and started to kick so a##!!! and i would say for sure i was prejudice, and deathly afraid of back kids my age... i even justified it by saying look at me and what i have been through. then i owned a company in my mid twenties that delt with inner city stores, i was pistol whipped, robbed by gun point, ran over by cars, gun stuffed in my mouth, hit with 40s, shoot at, and every time it was people with dark skin... and i was pissed off and young and geared up, i am generally a person who likes to fight and gear made that so much easier for me to justify doing(fighting) and some where along the way i just sat down and said i cant go around being fearful of black people... so i started to not take the people who did bad things to me a the "only" black people out there... you know what i mean??? like, i had seen the worst of society not the average person out there with dark skin... and i let all the pain and fear go...

btw - i actually have a black friend now!!! (--- just kidding there, joke.

i have lots of close friends that have dif skin colors... so, i know how people feel and if you or they have a story similar to mine (and a lot of us do...)my advise would be dont hold the whole responsible for the few...

God bless my brother!

Are you messing with me again. No not really, just found it odd that you had never heard Powell speak...hehehehe. So yeah I was kinda messing with you. All in good fun though..

BTW It took me nearly ten minutes to translate this on my own. Now I can almost not use my book, thanks bro...
