How common is that? Does it happen every day? I have only heard one or two instances of such, not to say that it doesn't matter because it does. It gives you a bad perception about parts of the white community.
Whites dragging blacks down the streets and blacks robbing and raping whites continually destroy any bridges I try to build.
Personally, I think it is okay for the black community to differentiate from the white community. What I find not okay is for the black community to differentiate and then demand acceptance. They should be entitled to some respect as
all humans deserve to be heard. But to demand that one community totally reorganizes itself because it does not want to appear racist, I don't agree with. If you want to play, you have to pay. Go along to get along...
I do not act "black" (however that is defined //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/confused.gif.e820e0216602db4765798ac39d28caa9.gif

), and don't wish to be accepted into the community that demands I act that way in order to fit in. I find it difficult when people wish to try to gain acceptance into my community (the investor community) when they do not respect that mores of our community. They expect us to bend to them. (this is not just racial issue)
Destroying the English language is perfectly okay; just don't ask me to accept you. (not talk about you bdawson as your comments are always clear. At this point, I am merely thinking out loud)
