Response to Tatum and McIntosh

I am honestly so sick of hearing about racism that it is not even funny. Every man is equal. Why can’t everyone just get that through their heads? No, everyone has to be a big baby; it is like a race to see who is better when the truth is no one is. Everyone is equal. The thing is no one is ever going to be happy. Black people talk about slavery all the time. Well, white people have been slaves too, and blacks do not even know how slavery was and how brutal it was. Whites need to shut up as well. There will always be those confederate idiots out there, but there will always be those punks who hate whites. Slavery ended a long time ago everyone has equal rights not so get over it. America is one of the least racist countries out there; we just hear it so much because you do not get shot for saying it. I am not trying to say no one is racist, but it is like it has become a stereotype for whites to be racist against blacks as well as blacks to be racist against whites. The same goes for men and women in McIntosh’s article she speaks of men and women like black and whites. In my opinion men do get more than women but not all do. Some men are good men and some are bad. Some women are good and some are bad. Some black people are good and some are bad. Some white people are good and some are bad. Everyone needs to get along and get over the past; move on. If America as a whole is really racist then why do we have a black man as a president? The generation has changes and so has America.
