This goes for blacks, whites, asians-- everyone.

I believe there are instances, even today, where blacks may face prejudice and/or discrimination.

However, there are a lot of people that make things bad for themselves and others around them.

They come in all colors.

Renda cited an experience that involved black people.

Excuses are not acceptable.

The behavior described is completely indefensible.



NOW, you can't keep making excuses for people. You're so much of a bleeder, you could die from blood loss one day!
That's exactly how I see it. I would never expect other "white" people to stand behind me if I was in the wrong just because we are all white.

Just to think that she EXPECTED them to accept her behavior and not tell me just because they were homies was completely out of line.
