Powell Declines To Give Big Lift To Obama
Painting That Ridicules S. Africa's President Is Defaced
"Racism doesn't exist in the same intensity as it did before. Whether it's Michael Vick or even Barry Bonds, as African-Americans we all know that if we slip up, they're going to come gunning for us."
-- Hip-hop mogul and actor and actor Sean "Diddy" Combs commenting on racism. (USA Today)

Are you freaking kidding me? In today's world if anyone does or says the least little thing it's blown up to be racism! Heaven forbid a white person say the "N" word but you'll certainly hear it out of a black person(and in their music)! What about the stuff they call white(and other)people? Maybe if everyone else started blowing up the racism thing then maybe it'd stop.And by the way how many black people have tons of money and stuff? How much money and power do they have to have before they'll stop carrying on about racism? GROW UP PEOPLE GET OVER IT!

Absolutely racism is alive and well. Just last week I was down in "the hood" visiting some friends and was called cracka and whitey a few times. Its a same in this day and age the only thing people see is my white skin.

Racism is still rampant. Diddy's rose colored glasses are tinted the color "green",as in $100million.
Europeans tolerate African Americans who can produce
"big bucks". Once you can convince them that you are a hit maker, big-risk taker, land mogul, super-entrepreneur you're in like "flint". Not so much because they truly love you but because if "you make money so do they".
But, Diddy, keep doing it. Keep believing in the Father, Son and Holy Spirit who has no "respect of
person". He loves us all.... do your best to steer clear of any other spiritual leadings that put their trust in man or aliens and not God.
PEACE

I am so tired of blacks thinking that they have to STRUGGLE to get anything in life. YOU get a FREE education,FREE medical, FREE food, when WHITE people have to jump through hoops to get any kind of help at all. Slavery was over 100 years ago, get over it. YOU personally were not a slave. It has not affected your life directly. Again, would you rather be in Africa dying of AIDS? YOU should THANK our ancestors for bringing your ancestors over here.

So true Diddy...so true. They never give the black man a chance. Always tryna keep us down! That's why I'm glad to see successful black men and women doin' their thing, just to show dem racist people that YOU CAN"T TELL US NOTHING!

I do believe that racism does still exist today, but I also believe that it is on both sides. I know whites, blacks, & mexicans that are racist today. It's not right, but holding it against an entire race one side or the other is completely wrong & ignorant.

I just really hope diddy reads these comments because i really have something to say. I don't think that young talent is being recognized enough . Yes theirs Chris brown, Rihanna , Bow Wow, and soldier boy yes but they all had help getting where they are now. And now you have a making his band coming out soon where its only for adults what about the children
