(Many) Whites think blacks are lazy, poor and violent. But that's not what the statistics say.

7. racism hasn't gone away, it's just gone underground.

Anyone who thinks black Americans are lazy ought to take public transportation in NYC around 6:15 am during the work week.

As Jesse Jackson said in 1988, (1988!)

They catch the early bus. They work every day.

They raise other people's children. They work everyday.

They clean the streets. They work everyday. They drive dangerous cabs. They work everyday. They change the beds you slept in in these hotels last night and can't get a union contract. They work everyday.

No, no, they are not lazy! Someone must defend them because it's right, and they cannot speak for themselves. They work in hospitals. I know they do. They wipe the bodies of those who are sick with fever and pain. They empty their bedpans. They clean out their commodes. No job is beneath them, and yet when they get sick they cannot lie in the bed they made up every day. America, that is not right. We are a better Nation than that. We are a better Nation than that.
