I understand that rascism and discrimination is a big issue in the world today... but why do we keep talking about the same thing over and over again? does anyone think arguing on Imix about who understands and who dont is helping people who are discriminated and those who face rascism every damn day of their life?

If u want to make a difference.....( Who ever the shoe fit) let me whip you a few times across your back, tie a chain round ur leg and rape you every night>>>....

Honest Question. And I'm not saying there isn't discrimination, but I am saying how is that discrimination so much worse than what i experienced in my life?
the mere fact that you acknowledge the ability to pass should be enough to tell you something.

your honest question as you put it also illustrates your inability to comprehend the discrimination experiences by pples of the African diaspora....

that's almost as bad as me saying.....but i'm frens with white people....come on man!

And you can 'pass' as 'Black' people in the islands. In fact, you fell like you belong with them as well. I grew up in Peru, not the USA. I did not 'pass' jack. I came to the US as an adult. And here I do not relate to Anglo culture so I am not in my cultural comfort zone. And when i try to hang out in areas which i can relate to, I have to put up my guard as well.

So focus on your inablility first, because my starting this thread is addressing that very fact.

hmmmmmmmmmmm
do i sense ad hominem as you love to put it?

you came to this country as an adult.
i came to this country as a teenager.
i don't pass for black my yute
i am black, in fact, i am african. (watch u try to tell me i'm not. lol)

you're fretting because you're stuck in the twilight zone of your own making and your struggles are clear and evident...so you choose to lash out. all i can suggest is that you are lashing out at the wrong ppl by trying to tell them what discrimination is to them and to you especially seeing that you walked into their house and they welcomed you in....
