Liberal Media Trash

CNN's latest iReport, a form of journalism that allows readers to post opinions, narratives, pictures, and videos, is "Being Black in America". I'm sick of this "whoah is the black man" crap. Yes there is still racism in this country and it's being perpetrated on more than just the black man. But things like this perpetuate the notion that racism is everywhere when in fact we're far from that. This doesn't help blacks. It holds them back, much like affirmative action does today. It ingrains in them a sense of self-pity and does little to forge unity among the races, because ultimately the submissions are about one person's struggle to make it in white America. That's really what the title is..."Being Black in (White) America". At least CNN didn't use the incorrect term African-Americans.
