What? Where did he suggest that there aren't "many hard-working and honest Black people"? I know for a fact that GZ believes there is good in most people and that there are numerous hard-working and honest Blacks, such as Clarence Thomas, Thomas Sowell, Herman Cain, and Allen West, just to name a few. The bottom line is that GZ's characterization of many Blacks that he encounters exactly reflects my own experiences, s well as the experiences of numerous other Whites. I also know that Pastor Manning, a Black minister, also strongly agrees with GZ's experiences and mine. He often voices a deep shame and disgrace over the behaviors of most of his people. Likewise, I hold deep shame and disgrace over many of the behaviors of my fellow Whites on the left. Let me ask you, Little Joe, do you think Prime Minister Blair is a racist for his comments expressed below? --- Tony Blair yesterday claimed the spate of knife and gun murders in London was not being caused by poverty, but a distinctive black culture. His remarks angered community leaders, who accused him of ignorance and failing to provide support for black-led efforts to tackle the problem. [...] Black community leaders reacted after Mr Blair said the recent violence should not be treated as part of a general crime wave, but as specific to black youth. He said people had to drop their political correctness and recognise that the violence would not be stopped "by pretending it is not young black kids doing it". [...] Mr Blair said he had been moved to make his controversial remarks after speaking to a black pastor of a London church at a Downing Street knife crime summit, who said: "When are we going to start saying this is a problem amongst a section of the black community and not, for reasons of political correctness, pretend that this is nothing to do with it?" Mr Blair said there needed to be an "intense police focus" on the minority of young black Britons behind the gun and knife attacks. The laws on knife and gun gangs needed to be toughened and the ringleaders "taken out of circulation". [...] Mr Blair is known to believe the tendency for many black boys to be raised in families without a father leads to a lack of appropriate role models. He said: "We need to stop thinking of this as a society that has gone wrong - it has not - but of specific groups that for specific reasons have gone outside of the proper lines of respect and good conduct towards others and need by specific measures to be brought back into the fold." --- 1. guardian.co.uk

I guess it depends on where you live... when I lived elsewhere these observations never appeared, everyone seemed very natural and relaxed, but not here, now I find it to be an issue, and it seems to be a local cultural thing observed by many people including the Haitians that I know personally, they also don't understand why American born blacks act so oddly, wearing hats sideways and their pants down to their knees so the cracks in their asses show, and they can't speak proper English... do you think that's normal? Will you hire that to greet your customers? Do you want that image to represent you and your business? I seriously doubt it... Bill Cosby would also agree with me and he also thinks it's stupid, so go argue with him... GZ
