hello issymayake and welcome to goo. i like your statement.:)

Hi issymayake welcome to golo. I see you have the eagle symbol as your avatar. Are you a Central Alumni? If so what years did you attend there? As you can see I am also a Central Graduate. Send me an email sometimes. ope you enjoy Golo it can get off the hook sometimes,especially any stories that have to do with racial issues.

SORRY I meant hope instead of ope...:)

I see that you are a NCCU graduate? Me, I'm a Tuskegee man. Love my Golden Tigers.

Hey... on the racial profiling thing, my point was that when that happened to me back in 82, the "brown berets" as well as the blacks in Austin were raising a ruckus about the white police officers being guilty of brutality. In my case, they were, and my color didn't help me any. But I see your point, I wasn't really profiled.

I love you for this comment!!! ((hug))...

Eliminate this and that is always easy to say when you are a part of the dominant culture. Do people realize that other minorities have similar situations, events, monikers, etc?

Why do people rail against BET (and believe me, I'm no fan) yet say nothing of Univision and Telemundo? Most major cities have a Miss Chinese American pageant. . any complaints? Miss Indian USA occurs in Washington, DC every year. There are tribal colleges (Haskell Indians Nation University, etc) and predominantly minority colleges (UTEP, and FIU come to mind).

So why the focus on black people, when all minorities have these programs, initiatives etc? Perhaps it's because being a minority in America actually DOES have some challenges/issues that need to be addressed, that the dominant culture is insulated against. It's certainly not limited to blacks.

Thanks for requesting me to be your friend!!

Yep! Now we are friends! Yippie!! I try to be rational on here sometimes as well, but I get caught in the crossfire at times and I start to shoot back. LOL!!

Where oh where is my good friend? I sure do miss you!!!

Glad to see you share the love I have for the Mad Titan himself! Thanks!
