i had this aurgument with a white friend of mine...
do black people just plain out hate america?
my white friend wa telling me that every political aurgument he gets in with a black peson (besides me of course), they seem every unpatriotic, and demonize america. i tried to point out the fact that a large percentage of blacks have served in the armed forces and in all of our wars...but he slaps me with "oh, they only joined because of thier economic situation, not because they felt it was thier patriotic duty..." he aurgued that blacks are quick to point out what's wrong with america and it's faults, and never seem to want to concentrate on what's right and the much good we have done around the world...
then i thought about it...
hmm...
does this cat actually have a point?
what do you think? do we just hate this country? do you hate this country? if so why? if you love america, represent on this thread too. i know there are some black folk that would die for this land on here, right?

African-Americans are just that...AMERICANS. if we don't like something about the way something is being handled in our country and we wanna speak up about it, we should be able to without immediately bein accused of playing the race card.


do you hate/ love america?
