If’n the white man would just get his foot up offamy throat I could be somebody!

After visiting black websites or supposedly non-political sports forums, it's hard not to get the feeling that the great majority of black people still feel evil whitey has his jackboots pressed down hard on their throats.

On the sports forums every move by a team owner that they think affects a black athlete adversely is attributed to racism. Then the black poster will many times go into a long rant about the psychological effects of 500 years of racism.

No matter what facts or proof other posters offer for what the owner did i.e. monetary reasons, for black posters it's always evil, white racism.

And even if in this particular instance they say racism wasn't the reason for whatever happened, DEEP, PERVASIVE RACISM still adversely affects ALL!! black Americans...every day, every hour, 24/7. No amount of facts, logic, or reason makes a dent in them. Why try?
