The idea of the arrogant, ignorant African American is so ingrained in American popular culture that comedians like Dave Chappelle and Chris Rock make millions from it. Jokes about certain groups of black people not paying their bills or calling women "hos" is an accepted part of life here. The sun will rise each morning, dogs will bark, the rain will fall, and blacks will take another shortcut. Welcome to life in the USA. That's what makes me sick.

You see - you make some good and valid points - then you make a broad brush comment like this which will get you labelled as a racist.
No one disagrees that what you say exists to some extent - the issue is that its not all blacks and not limited to blacks.
