WHY IS SODAHEAD SCARED TO LET YOU POST CONTROVERSIAL QUESTION ABOUT HOW BLACKS USE THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE AND EVERY OTHER WORD OUT OF THEIR MOUTH IS A CUSS WORD FROM M F, N** **R, F K AND EVERY OTHER WORD OUT IN PUBLIC.

I can understand the frustration behind the label "racist", but speaking as a black American, and speaking only for myself, not all blacks are as they are as you see them. There are some of us who are disgusted with the N word, some of us who believe in respect for another person ( at least enough not to yell obscenities in public crowds). I was raised to say "yes sir, no sir, yes ma'am, no ma'am." I was taught that the color of my skin, oughtn't be a crutch for ignorance. I try to speak properly, and as I am human, am allowed grammatical errors here and there. When I converse with others, I am asked if I'm from the U.S. simply because of the way I carry myself. I don't live in the best part of town, but it truly isn't by choice. Finances just aren't in place to move, but when we'd first moved, the area was wonderful. I attended Catholic school for8 years of my life and then art schools the remainder. I only have a few friends (primarily because I associate with them comfortably) and of all of them, none are black. I've lived a "priveledged" childhood life and choose to carry on such teaching throughout my adulthood. I can't claim a political movement because I honestly don't understand politics. I vote based on feeling. I would like to believe America is the cultural melting pot, and everyone is mature enough to make sound judgment based on character and not skin color, but the truth is, the "white black" motif isn't just here in the U.S. and it isn't just black and white. I'm hoping that you weren't making a grand generalization of the black race (maybe throwing the word "most" before "blacks" or even the comment "blacks that I've seen"). I assure you, not all of us live down to that reputation.
