    Yeah, because only white people can get away with crimes...It's stupid comments like this that keeps racism alive and well. If we'd all quit making everything about race, racism wouldn't be a problem any longer. Constantly making everything about race creates resentment and exasperates the problems. Exactly what the politicians want, to divide us and create conflict that only "they have the solutions for". While I agree there will always be some form of racism, as a whole most people these days are not racist. I mean come on, a black president was voted in not once, but twice (even though he has been completely incompetent).

    And I could say if OJ was white he wouldn't have gotten away with murder...oh, but wait, only rich white people can get away with something like that, right? How did that happen?

    Dude, if Johnny 8 ball was black the media of this society would have destroyed him irreversibly. I agree that most of us regular people are not racist but this society and government was built on white supremacy and it's stereotypes are constantly being perpetuated. By us acknowledging this as fact is the only way change occurs.

    I just get sick of hearing about race, race race. Race will always be an issue when race baiters a like Sharpen and Jackson are out there constantly pouring gasoline on the fire but ONLY when it's a supposed black person that has been wronged. And they never talk about the biggest issues that exasperate the problem like black on black crimes and murders or the fact that 70%+ of all black births are out of wedlock.

    Enough is enough, it's not the 1960's anymore. If some one want to succeed in this country they can, regardless of race. I have a number of very successful black friends, Dr's, Software engineers, business owners. They aren't being harassed by a "white supremacy" society. They are clean cut, well educated, they speak perfect English, and they don't wear their pants around their ankles or have rasta hair and gold teeth. Scurvy White trash losers get same type of stigma so again, looking and acting like a thug isn't limited to race. People need to look in the mirror and take personal responsibility, something these race baiters don't want people to do.

    I'd argue that the pendulum has swung too far in the other direction, my son graduated high school last year with a 4.32 Gpa, magna cum laude, NHS, scored a 2190 on his SAT with a perfect 800 on his math section of his SAT and couldn't get into MIT, Cornell, Vandy, John Hopkins, or U of Penn. he did get into Georgia Tech but received ZERO dollars in scholarship money. I know for a fact if he was black or Hispanic or a foreigner he would have gotten into any of those schools with a full ride scholarship. He saw some of his black, Hispanic and non natural born American friends with nowhere near his credentials get into schools he didn't with scholarship money.

    On the other hand, my youngest son is a senior and did just enough academically to keep from getting grounded (in our house a C gets you grounded so he has a 3.10 Gpa). But he's really good at basketball so he's getting all kinds of college offers and scholarship money thrown his way. Sports doesn't care about race, just "can you perform". Maybe he was smarter one after all...lol! I'm done on the topic.

    I posted this a while back, but in pretty much to the point of not chirping fans of any other franchise at this point. The Titans have become a laughing stock, haven't made the playoffs since 08, and have been worse than the Browns the past two seasons. It's pathetic

    Whatever. "This government built on white supremacy" is run by a black guy. Seems like Pacman jones is doing alright and he was involved in dudes getting shot, so your "being destroyed by the media irreversibly" is overly dramatic, as is all the other bologna you are spitting. Im guessing "im racist" for disagreeing with you.

    well if you think the president runs this country, being racist is just one of your problems, i'm not accusing you of that by the way since you said it. If you think that things are racially fair in terms of media and perception in this great country of ours, there ain't much i can do for you. I respect your opinion though and perception gets tricky for everybody, we see stuff from different angles but what i'm pointing out is blatant.

    I hope Johnny gets it together, he showed flashes this year. It's gonna be tough for him at that age to mature quickly , in my opinion he needs some strong mentoring.
