Every day is ego day, Kelly
Another phrase that bothers me is "It's a black thing. You wouldn't understand."
Black separatism is a very serious problem in the United States. So-called "black community leaders" are doing their damndest to remind black people of why they should consider themselves separate and downtrodden (which is why they need "black leaders"

) and ultimately too oppressed to ever succeed on their own, hence the constant whinging and whining about the "legacy of slavery".
I have sympathy for blacks who were and are genuinely oppressed (only an idiot would deny that racism still exists), but the way to solve it is
not to simply whine about it. My parents came here with
nothing. We're talking about showing up off the boat with a suitcase of clothes and not much else. They worked their asses off (my father even worked as a farmhand), paid their own way through school, put up with racial abuse, got university degrees and good jobs, and here I am now, having lived a comfortable middle-class life because of their hard work and dedication. Millions of Asians in North America can say the same thing, which is probably why Asians don't suffer the same level of discrimination that blacks do.
Starting with nothing is no excuse for failure, or for shifting one's role models to ridiculous caricatures of professionalism, like athletes and entertainers. Black separatism and victimology is the biggest thing holding back the black race in North America; if you constantly tell people that they are entitled to something because of their history, they won't bother working to get it for themselves. It creates a vicious cycle.
THAT pisses the fuck out of me. I mean, if I were to walk around with a shirt on that says "it's a woman thing" or "it's a white thing", I'd be strung up right there.
Huh? Women say "it's a woman thing" all the time! The phrase "it's a white thing" would get you strung up, but honestly, "it's a woman thing" is no big deal. My own beloved wife rolls her eyes and says "Men!" at some of my antics all the time, but it doesn't bother me.
Well, I'm in a mood today... It's a pms thing. You wouldn't understand.

AAAAAHHHHHHH!!! The Crimson Tide is coming! Run for your lives!!!!!
