  You need to get over yourself. Whites wernt the ones forced into slavery. Blacks have every right to make themselves known. They deserve it! We owe them something. I think your just upset because blacks are getting more and more attention and i think your feeling inferior.

Ah, ha! See, the moment you said "I'm tired of walking around on eggshells around African Americans" I KNEW you were full of it.

Steal the race card? Do you realize how stupid this sounds? "They have a magazine called Ebony... let's create one called Ivory" Are you insane?

Did you bother to look up the origin of Ebony magazine before you typed this tripe?

I am a black woman and I enjoy getting my Ebony and Essence magazines. The reason I like to get them is because the magazines inform of what is going in the black community, gives great skin and make up advice for people of color and has very interesting and intelligent articles. I am sure you get the same thing from reading Cosmo or whatever you read. White magazines are tailored for white people and why are blacks penalized for that?

Fight back by not fighting

the underlying issue isn't the word, its the "US" against "THEM" attitude.  I say we acknowledge the fact that our ancestors acted in a way no word can describe and we are ALL a part of this history.  Telling someone in pain to 'get over it' has never worked and in most cases it just seems rude. It  would take the same amount of time to really listen and show love and patience to a person as it does to blow someone off. Personally I won't ever need to have pride in my race to feel whole as a person.   The truth is I want to have and give respect to people of every race even when we disagree.  I am not black and never will be I will never understand exactly how it feels to be black. What I do know is there is a lot of grief that has been unexplored for all of us.  We do want the same thing, your statement reflects that you just want this to be over the veil of shame to be lifted. Its time for the fight to be over.  It hurts all of us that its lasted this long.
