Black people are not treated in the same way as whites. It happens all over the world. But living in this century, we should be supporting each other.
Years ago I was talking to some black people about why they weren't more into conscious rap, and the answer I generally got was that "**** sucks so much all of the time that we just want to forget about it and have fun." If a large portion of the black community feel this way, and I believe they do, then just imagine how all the other races who are not as directly affected by this feel.
