I've been places in the US and elsewhere where being white just makes me a target. The stereotype you want to perpetuate is not valid, you have to look at the individual and the situation.
WELL, THE NUMBER OF AVAILABLE JOBS AS RAPPERS, SPRINTERS AND NBA PLAYERS IS QUITE LIMITED, SO HOPEFULLY YOU WEREN'T COUNTING ON THOSE PROFESSIONS. DON'T FORGET ABOUT "SNOW"..THE BEST WHITE CANADIAN RAPPER OF ALL TIME!
I can't go back 40, 50 or 100 years and ask people to do the right thing. But we should be at the point as a society where we all do the right thing regardless of history. You think it's convenient to do the right thing????? Yet here you are questioning me for doing the right thing.
OF COURSE WE CAN'T GO BACK INTO THE PAST, BUT WE ARE NOW SUFFERING FROM A RACISM "HANGOVER".....PAYING THE PRICE FOR THE PAST.
We are all the same. I don't give a fuck why the person is in the muck, I'm going to do the humane thing and give a hand and help him up.
I AGREE, WE ARE THE SAME, BUT SOME GROUPS WEREN'T ALWAYS JUDGED THAT WAY, SO IT MAY TAKE A LITTLE EXTRA TIME TO HEAL.

Everyone makes fun of rednecks because they're ignorant, and they are, but no one makes fun of the pathetic glorification of ignorance that occurs in the inner city.
Undermine ghetto culture and teach blacks that ebonics and gang violence don't a good society make.
Are you fucking serious?!
No one makes fun of Black culture?! A couple of days ago you were having a go about how Blacks are genetically less intelligent than white folks and referring to them as "primitive". Today you start this bullshit thread complete with probably bogus statistcs accompanied with absolutely no context in an effort to portray blacks as being on a vicious "kill whitey" crusade and going on about ebonics and gang violence. You've got to be kidding me. There is no other explanation for just how full of shit you are."When all your friends and sedatives mean well but make it worse... better find yourself a place to level out."0 -

Wow. You must sleep with one eye open and a loaded handgun under the pillow. Surrounded, as you are, by all those bloodthirst nigras.

We all come from Africa.
On the other hand black people have more fast-twitch muscle tissue. So there is a divergence of genes. All that is included in those differences is not known.I necessarily have the passion for writing this, and you have the passion for condemning me; both of us are equally fools, equally the toys of destiny. Your nature is to do harm, mine is to love truth, and to make it public in spite of you. - Voltaire0 -

Not from nincompoops like him. His are the irrelevant and pointless posts. He didn't even bother to check my facts but said "probably" untrue statistics. Typical dumbshit disagreement right there. No fact checking or argument, just insults and ignorance.All I know is that to see, and not to speak, would be the great betrayal.

Every time I quickly pop into this post for a few secs, I am reminded why I'm glad I haven't... heheProgress is not made by everyone joining some new fad,
and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions
over specific principles, goals, and policies.

You wouldn't know your ass, from your elbow.
I can tell you one thing for sure, most black people I know find people like you, who talk about black people the way you do; to be an insult. They are offended by people like you. They don't appreciate people like you making up excuses and defending the bad elements in their community.
They think people like you are over-compensating and overly-defensive.
I am myself. I am me. They know I'm not a racist and they respect me for speaking my opinions in a forthright manner and not pulling any punches.
Most blacks I know agree with my perspective on this whole racial issue.
Most blacks I know don't want know damn white boy defending them and acting like their people are poor victims. They find it extremely insulting.0 -
CorporateWhore wrote:The point is that the media refuses to tell you this information. They would rather tell you that black on black crime is high. This causes the public to have misperceived priorities. Rather than addressing the significant problems with the black community's crime rate, the media is diverting public attention from an issue that is just as important as black on black crime, but it is not reported.
I fear that if I had pointed out that black on black crime is higher than black on white, you would not have said "what's the point...?" You would have wanted to offer solutions to that problem.
White people matter too.
You are pathetic!0 -

Only just caught this thread but after witnessing some of the stuff that comes out of corporate whores mouth i would have to agree with this sentiment.Keep on rockin in the free world!!!!
The economy has polarized to the point where the wealthiest 10% now own 85% of the nation’s wealth. Never before have the bottom 90% been so highly indebted, so dependent on the wealthy.0 -

Stop for a second and look at what you posted here.
*pause*
A rapper?! An NBA basketball player?!
Yeah, because those are REAL jobs :rolleyes:
Besides the only thing working against you there is the fact that you can't rap or play basketball. The color of your skin has nothing to do with it.

It amazes me that when I bring up the NBA people always counter it's about the unique talents of the player, but they then throw out this arguement when looking at the ownership and management of those same teams.

If the crime victim's mother is "black" and father is "white" which category are the statistics of the crime placed? Just curious.The only people we should try to get even with...
...are those who've helped us.

surferdude wrote:Maybe if you started viewing people as individuals and not as sterotypes you'd see that there are currenlty millions of marginalized/disenfranchised white people. The color of their skin shouldn't matter (but it seems to) but only their situation.
From my perspective, I don't care what side of the arguement you are on as soon as you start stereotyping, refering to skin color rather than the individual you are part of the problem. No matter how well intentioned you are, yo are part of the problem
so i guess that means we agree.
unlike the thread starter and his cronies, i DO view people as individuals, and i don;t give a rat's ass about their color. if you;re a criminal, i don;t care if you're purple with pink polka dots, you should be punished. so instead of whining about how the big, mean liberal media never tells us about black-on-white crime, how about we address the CAUSES of crime and not just te symptoms? namely, poverty and ignorance. let's roll up our sleeves and tackle those problems and stop bellyaching about imagined injustices perpetrated against the defenseless white folks."Ladies and gentlemen, the President of the United States, Barack Obama."

i appreciate and admire your "there is no such thing as race" ideology. i sincerely do. In a way its refreshing and utopian (albeit a bit polyanna at times) such universal attitude is without question, desireable.
Tell it to the a Black guy who listens to some of the White supremacist crap that gets posted in this forum. Tell it to anyone who actually knows first hand what it is like to be non-white in this country. Tell THEM their "race" doesn't really exist. Tell it, for example, to Blacks in New Orleans. Tell it to a Latino guy just about anywhere in the U.S these days.
BTW the hypothetical victim you speak of, by many people, would be called "n****r". Maybe that answers your question, Maybe it doesn't."When all your friends and sedatives mean well but make it worse... better find yourself a place to level out."0 -

Tell what to them? I was asking a question - not making a statement.The only people we should try to get even with...
