    A white person would never know. They'd be merely speculating

    So if someone said of Black people "A good amount of them are extremely rude arrogant and entitled. And if they don't immediately get their way they have no problem being racist." I, of another race, couldn't judge that was offensive, rather I would only be speculating because I would really never know?

    How open minded of you. But he would have to have a narrow sample to make that assumption that that is true of a "good amount" and therefore borne of ignorance.
    Opinions of another race like; if they don't get their way they go racist, can be judged by any race as biased.

    Not knowing how it feels has nothing to do with equality lol.

    Since you're big into equality then tell me, should Barcelona FC women's team be paid the same as the Barcelona FC men's team?

    I like it when black comedians use, "white voice," to make fun of white people,

    there is no parallel to white comedians using black face.

    how what feels?

    if they bring in the money, they should be paid a percent of what they bring in, as that is what they are worth

    I had a Professor turn an English 201 Course into an African American Studies course.

    I offended him when I wrote:

    I'm not responsible for things that happened before I was born in places I have never even been.

    It’s easy to offend people these days, specially when you’re 100% right.

    As a black person would never know about our personal trials. What’s your point?

    Lmao… that’s your definition of customer service? Customer service can be a teller at a register, a phone rep, a desk clerk at a hotel, a desk clerk at jiffy lube, many things if you in a business of dealing directly with customers. How are you this far disconnected from life?

    Black people are people. Just cause they’re black you think they have a different set of feelings? In a world of individualism they hold the same weight in society as anyone else. You start weighing them as a collective then we must look at them collectively. That’s when opinions can wonder in ways you may not like. Yet the collective approach will always bring collective judgment

    You would never know unless you'd spent much of your life as close friends with black folk. Evidently you have not.
