JAD!!!

  We're finally here I know you Guys almost gave up on me but with Skyy's help and a few Prayers we made it happen, this has been a dream of mine for years and now it's here.

    We aren't completely through there is more to come, if you have problems finding things look around the page we have placed instructions for things all over and there is even a practice Forum so take sometime and get accustomed to the new surroundings. I'm glad your here.

How come our countries focus is always about african americans these days. I means its true. Do u hear of white history month or hispanic history month? Its black history month and everyone else is just history.

They have organizations going around grading on how every employer hires blacks? There was organization that graded how blacks were hired in colleges. There is black sports writer on tv. The black entertainment channel. The all black football conference.

Then if there is a place of business that is all white there is complaints about it made. Its like nobody is aloud to be white no more. If i went to get hired on at a place i would be put to the back of the line if i went to a place that was an equal oppertunity employer. Yet if someone hires white man with out giving a black man a chance its not considered equal but if a black man gets hired without giving a white man a chance it is.

musophomore

      Firstly, welcome to the Forum. I think you'll find you can learn more than perceptions by visiting here if you are truly interested in answering your questions. You should consider that from day one in most school systems the history of Non-African American is taught. Up until very recently there was nothing mentioned about the many inventions and discoveries made by people of color.

      As for as hearing about black networks they are usually owned by white men and presented as being black. Even if they were how many ESPN's and other sports channels are there that don't cover any minority sporting events like HBCU football games, but yet there is a large percentage of players in the NFL from these schools so if there weren't stations that catered to African Americans these kids would never get to play on television.

      I could go on about this forever but have found people rarely are open to different perceptions, you appear convinced this is some sort of conspiracy when in essence all it is is an attempt to reflect the true nature of a people and offset many of the incorrect assumptions that exist and this hurts you how?
