Well...here in America it would seem that things are a bit different as far as natives go. Yes, they have land, but it's always in the shittiest part of the shittiest states. Since there's not much room to farm in any real way, most live off of government provided food. Problem is that they're not at all used to the heavily proccessed ingredients in those foods so now there's an explosion of diabetes on reservations. To the effect of roughly 80%. It's been 450 years and we're still fucking them. While I won't take any particular issue with your post, I'll just say that it's an extremely dangerous and borderline offensive stance to take. Saying that blacks don't have a choice because of society and the media is not supportive to blacks...it's actually kind of insulting. That's the same stance that Jesse Jackson takes and he's done more to set black people back than any other public figure (if you want to know what I really think of him, see: http://www.hstuners.com/forums/showt...ht=open+letter ). Just because the media portrays blacks as this or that I think to say that all of them are pressured to follow that image is quite a stretch. I mean...pretty much all people have a concept of a right and wrong way to live their lives. No media outlet is going to change that. Plus, such an argument patently ignores all of the people that have shoved aside the idea that blacks are gangsters and rappers and made good lives for themselves. I'm also not really sure you can look to elected office as a sign of racism. Principally because they're elected. Black people have the voting numbers to make a real difference at the polls and, if they were so inclined, could appoint black leaders. That is, of course, unless you live in the south. If you're black and you live in the south you're pretty much just screwed.
