Race iz ummm?

Everyone pretty much knows that this is 2009, right? Things today are better for people than it was in the past and everything is cooler than the other side of the pillow. Finally equality is a reality for America! We have the first recognized black President and things can only get better from this moment forward!!!
Well I hate to bust your bubble (really I don't mind that much) but double standards and racism is alive and growing into a full grown man. Let give a few examples and you ponder them and think to yourselves what the deal is.
Micheal Phelps gets a DUI back in the day and said he was immature, now he gets busted for smoking that sticky green on a college campus and says "oops my bad, I was immature"!. Michael Vick gets caught up with dog fighting charges on property that he never lived at but was the owner, he went to jail....humm. When white people take money from a job its called embezzling, but when a minority does the same thing why is it called stealing? I could give actual examples but my focus is on racism in general.
Personally I went to Fazoli's restaurant last night to get some Lasagna and salad. I get in the line and wait, place my order and wait some more. Finally the lady in front got her order and she was given at least 9 bread sticks-fresh from the oven. I immediately thought to myself, here we go. What do you know, here comes Wardy's order along with 2 bread sticks!! I asked could I have the same amount as the last lady and the lady got an attitude and gave me 2 extra (the cold one's). Sure this is nothing major, but is it a difference? I thought since Obama is in the office that everything is better for the black man? What the Freak! Then again I was on the South syde!
Finally, if you have ever watched the 11pm news and see a burning building or a crime scene, I know you are hoping like I do-- that they don't skip over all the articulate speaking "Colored Folk" for an eye witness account!! Who am I kidding, you know they are going to the toothless, unshaven, unshowered but studdering homeless dude to get his version of why the situation occurred and his views on politics. Never fails does it. All Ward is saying to you is that racism is not gone, it was just immature, but now its a grown up!

I am Ward
