Because people are treated differently on this basis, every day.
So do something about it, instead on harping on the fact to divide us, do or say something that will bring us together. You can keep pointing fingers all day long, but that ain't gonna solve the issue. It will only create angst and animosity.

I've been on JazzFanz for a long time and to be honest with you, I'm sick and tired of your racist sob stories that you bring on here weekly. Bring some positive stories for a change.
