If It was possible would you trade places with black man or woman for a day: knowing what you know about living as a black person in America.
Definitely. I think everybody with empathy would like to use this opportunity and get first hand experience. I am dead sure thousand of artists would pay for something like that.
Black people AREN'T monolithic in scope socioeconomically,socioculturally, psychologically, nor philosophically. Black people are different. Some have all the advantages and then some; others are in-between while there are those who are in abject circumstances. Yes, there are varying degrees of racism but things have changed considerably over the past 50 years. Many Black people are no longer downtrodden but are affluent, educated, and successful. BTW, I am Black; I have seen many Hispanics/Latinos experience FAR MORE discrimination & racism especially in terms of employment, being treated as slave laborers.
Perhaps its past time to suggest trading places with one colored person and include all people .......how about the following :
Chinese
Irish
French
Canadian
Mexican
Chilean
Moroccan
Just saying , Time to quit whining about the poor black race in America and perhaps be more inclusive and less exclusive to many ,many more people who aren't getting all of the P.C. media attention . There are far ore issues at stake here than reinventing racism each and every day .
Maybe, if the deal came with a bullet proof vest, and an anti-choke hold neck protector, and a giant flashing neon sign saying "don't shoot, it is only a toy gun", and a...no, nevermind, actually I wouldn't.
I think I'll keep the skin im in.. and let God judge..

Why is President Obama called a black man?When President O'bama was running for the presidency of the U.S. there was a lot of background material presented. If I'm not mistaken, it was stated that O'bama has a black father and a white mother. Now, I know that black and white...
