This show is clarifying and disturbing

Just started watching the show. It amazes me how much black people want white people to be racist. There are no more excuses. This is 2007. Get over the fact that black people were once slaves. Attitude is everything. Bruno is right, if you come in thinking that people are looking at you weird or that they don't like you, than that will be your perception of the world.

This show is also ridiculous in that they take the people to rodeo drive. Why aren't they living in Compton? I would like to see how black people treat a lone white family in Compton. I'm sure they would hear honky and cracker alot more than black people hear *beep* in Beverly Hills. And you know why...

Because white people, for the most part, don't think it is cool to act stupid, walk like you are crippled, or treat women like "ho's". We also don't glorify shooting "rival" gangbangers to sell more drugs to our friends.

Black people have had almost over 50 years to get free education and better their race, stop blaming white people. And if you look at Africa, where the majority of people are Black, they are killing alot more of each other than white people ever did during slavery to blacks. And by the way, That was almost 200 years ago. Stop blaming my generation for what happened when my great great great grandfather was around. I've never owned a slave. You don't hear jewish people talking about how racist ever was is because they killed over 3 million of them 60 years ago.

My advice, stop feeling sorry for yourself, and get an education...
because intelligence has no color!

Interesting....so educated yet so simple. I love people who attempt to use logic and science but then use the term "race". There is only culture, not race. There is more difference (genetic wise) between two fruit flies on the same piece of fruit, then there are between any two humans on any two continents. Race is not and has not ever been a "valid" scientific term for the last several decades. So any that attempts to claim that "race" determines the movement of culture without considering environment, socio-economic standing, prejudice, and family background is both ignorant and a "racist". This means you.

Black people... White people. Would you like me to use the terms African American and Caucasian American. Would that be a little pc for you. Next time you have a comment make a point not an accusation. By the way, People are not cultures. There are many different types of anthropology "The study of people" Cultural anthropology is one. I was not talking about culture.

Um...who's getting the free college education. As a recent grad, I wholeheartedly laugh at that uninformed statement.

Get an education. The ripple effect of slavery and racist laws and policies is still strongly being felt today. "Slavery" may be over, but we have A LOT of cleaning up to do.

History is taught for a reason.

YOU DO KNOW THAT BRUNO WAS AN ACTOR!! It is sad that so many feel that his "role" was real and that he was someone to emulate.

It is nice to know that ignorance is alive and well in America. Part of the reason that attitude like this still exists is because pontificating about the so called "traits" of African Americans makes those who consider themselves white ( even though genetics has proved that race does not exist) feel good. Whites are on welfare, whites are criminals, whites has children out of wedlock, and whites have ghettos (trailer parks and projects), Who would want give up the feeling that one gets downgrading other ethnic groups, when it is such an "artificial" thrill ?
It obvious by the fact that you can only picture blacks in Compton that you have no real understanding of African Americans. Read a damn book, watch some independent black movies or go out of you way and actually talk to a black person in own demographic. It is absolutely ridiculous that those who know next to nothing about a topic, feel that they have the right to sound off like they are experts.

This entire statement screams of White privilege. (http://lmgtfy.com/?q=white+privilege)

My simple suggestion, take some classes on socio-economics, and some culture/race study classes.

[–] mildu619 11 years ago

white privilege does not exist,remember-race is a social construct!
*beep* idiots, go make a blog about it...

[–] Furrerd 11 years ago

You are either too young or too ignorant to see the white privilege you enjoy.

Watch a black man get stopped on the street and surrounded by three white cops for walking on the shoulder of the road instead of the sidewalk after a snow storm. I stood there and watched it happen 3 Sundays ago.

[–] mildu619 11 years ago

Pretty sure I'm older than you. Maybe if blacks spent less time committing crimes the cops wouldn't ride them so hard.It's called "reputation" for *beep* sake.
And why the *beep* I wouldn't enjoy a privilege,I live in a white country created by my own people. Are you saying some third world *beep* coming to my land should be treated better than me?
