Only people who harp about racism are blacks I feel the only people harping about racism are mostly black. Case in point this week: Charles Barkley said the Augusta National Golf Course was changed to keep Tiger Woods from winning. If he would have checked the stats, he would see that the changes made would help Woods win. But nobody will say anything to Barkley. You have BET Black Entertainment Network. Do you see a White Entertainment Channel? No, but if you did they would be screaming racism! What about Miss Bronze America? No Miss White! If you did, who would be screaming racism? The article asked when Black History Month is and the poor little white kids didn't know. Well, ask them who is the best basketball player in the world, who is the best golfer in the world. I think we all know they would say Michael Jordan and Tiger Woods. But don't ask somebody when Black History Month is unless you are black, because nobody else cares. The reason McDonald's and other businesses care is they want your business. They don't really care either. Here is a question for you: Who was the 12th president? When did Georgia become a state? As with all these questions, you can look them up in a book, just as you can the Black History Month. What I guess I'm trying to say is if something matters to you, then look it up and talk about it, but don't make me have to care about it, too. It would be like me telling you to stop calling people Indians, or African-Americans, and forget race and color and just call us all Americans because we live in America. Too simple, I guess.
