I'm glad this board is showing how backwards America is

Too often we here the common remarks "It's 2015", "We elected a black president" and other bogus excuses to try and dismiss the idea that America doesn't have any problems when it comes to racism. Even with the cheerios incident, the church shootings, the donald trump comments, people will still try and pretend that here in America doesn't have a problem, when most of the world can see otherwise and points to the fact that we have major problems. Hell, are Canadian brothers upstairs have 1/5th the racial problems we have here. So keep posting those comments here. The only thing you're doing is providing fuel so when people say America is a post-racial country, we can illustrate so many different examples as to how we are not.

so a couple troll posts on a movie message board represents the bulk of America now? good to know

your point is? this movie sucked either way. and how can you hate on the haters when we see more and more black guys with white girls, and no white guys with black girls... of course thats going to happen.... are you dumb? white girls who date black guys are nothing but disappointments to their fathers whether its right or wrong. get over it, either way its the dads fault for allowing it to occur. maybe youre backwards. perhaps

And here's another racist prick with their racist comment proving the OP'S point.

Are you 12 Years old or did your boyfriend or girlfriend dump your ass for a Black person.

white girls who date black guys are nothing but disappointments to their fathers

Uh, this is the 21st century. I can't believe anybody believes this stupid, out-of-date racist bull**** you just wrote down. Who in the hell cares who is going with who nowadays? It's none of your business who is going with who anyway. And how the hell can you "disappoint" by dating someone who's a different color from you? It's the 21century---people ought to be over that s*** by now, but apparently they aren't. You're the backwards one----folks of different colors get married or don't get married and have kids anyway, the country's more multicultural now, so you can stay back living in the '50s all you want.

A few idiots on a message board don't represent America. It is funny you bring up Europe because I literally had a coworker from Somalia the other day tell me she was glad she was in the United States instead of Europe because of the racism her friends have experienced there.

It's funny how "certain people" on this site are asking how come no BW/WM couples. Remember that old television show "THE JEFFERSONS" that ran for 11 seasons...the neighbors were an interracial couple BW/WM. I guarantee that would not have happened if it was reversed.

Plus look at every Zoe Saldana, Jennifer Lopez, Halle Berry movie. It has them romantically involved with White Guys exclusively,but there seems to be no complaining on that. As well the TV show Scandal that has a white president involved with his mistress(who is Black and the star of the show)Bottom line is White Guys are shown more with NON white Women in movies and tv shows, but somehow that's not a problem. A few films with BM/WW, all hell breaks loose.
