I had enuff of that idiot.  is he for real ::confused::  I figure he is pulling our legs, playing game to occupy his time ::confused::

but it does not matter which..serious or tongue in cheek.  it is waste of time period and I wont engage much if any, anymore.  he appears to have caught snoops by the tail, run a ring through his nose and leads him around hopelessly

oh well!  maybe snoops sees him as a brother and deals with him as such...patronizing him but not dismissing him.  I doh know and I am not bothered

I am sure that if she takes a stroll somewhere in the south , they will let her know that she is African American

I understand Raven's perspective in the interview. I am not going to vilify her for having this opinion. It is an opinion I disagree with but I understand what she was saying. Unfortunately, America has not and probably will never come to a place where race isn't an issue. I self identify as an African American woman. There's not a day that goes by when I am not bombarded with a story about racism towards blacks in America. Whether it's from police to politicians or regular citizens on the street, I am constantly reminded I am not seen as an American like a white person. It's not hard to explain but other people make it a point not to comprehend that African Americans are not purposefully segregating ourselves using this term. America has made it a mission to constantly try to demean, modify, or outright strip our rights away as American citizens in our own country.
