“Here’s how great it is to be white — I can get into a time machine and go to any time and it would be fuckin’ awesome when I get there! That is exclusively a white privilege! Black people can’t fuck with time machines. A black guy in a time machine is like, ‘Hey anything before 1980, no thank you, I don’t wanna go.'”

TBH fellas, every American I’ve actually talked to on here, and even the one’s I somehow have on facebook are good likeable people with good senses of humour
Did you forget I was an American?

You’re such a sweet boy :love:
And I would like to point out even if people will get angry with me…
We don’t decide who our parente are or what they believe
We dont have a choise of our skincolor
We dont have a choice in what part of the world we are born
When we are born we don’t have a choice and if our parents and the surrounds teach us we have to be in a certain way,
it can be really difficult to break out from if you don’t think you have the power to do it
There are good people no matter what part of the world you come from
And there are bad people no matter what part in the world you come from
You can’t judge a whole nation, religion, skincolor because you hear bad things about some people!
Everything you said has merit, Angel, and I appreciate you making the points you did. This one:
it can be really difficult to break out from if you don’t think you have the power to do it
was especially hard for me, and as I mentioned, it’s only been a few years ago that I was able to do so unequivocally. Some of my friends make excuses for me, TO me even, about how I’m just in a defiant stage or I’m feeling a need to put space between my childhood and I. I’m over 40 years old, for fuck’s sake. I’m not a damn TODDLER. I know what I want, I know what I believe, and I know who I am.
Now, if I can just convey that, peaceably. 😉
You say drive through bank, but my home town has had a drive through Lloyds for about 15 years.
Hell yea, that is a brilliant post!
When I do visit America, I will definitely carry that list with me and try to scratch off every stereotypes I come across.
We’re the only ones with drive through restaurants, pharmacies, grocery stores, and banks? Impossible.
And back to the topic of evolution, this is a pretty cool video..
