If white people don't "stick together", why are there still all white country clubs, swim clubs, resort campgrounds, etc. If white people don't stick together, why does the U.S. Justice Department continue to find police, fire departments around around the count guilty of unfairly administering biased, tests to prevent blacks and the poor people from being hired?

Those who continue to insist white people don't stick together are either in serious denial or intentionally being untruthful.
Your post is beyond stupid. If white people stick together, then there would have been no WWI or WWII. Or the Revolutionary War, or the Civil War, or....on and on and on and on, and....

So, ANY organization is based solely on race? How did you come to this conclusion? Are there, um, ANY other factors at play in your world? Economics, language, nationality,religion, you know, small things like that?

Oh, and what color is the sky in your world?

He goes on to say: As blacks, "we must stick together" and than says. "whites stick together, blah,blah, blah......"

I said: Whites stick together no more than blacks do. Don't believe everything you see and hear on TV or read.

Poor whites and affluent or middle class whites dislike eachother the same as poor and affluent or middle class blacks dislike eachother.


I call it the "Grass Is Greener" syndrone. People always seem to think the next guy has it better than they do. Hence my black coworker making is dumb remarks.......



Most people are to busy thinking about themselves to be thinking about sticking together with someone else.


QUESTION-- Do white folks stick together?
Whites don't stick together. Seems like every college has a black and latino club, how many white clubs do you see?

Whites don't have race baiting seperatist leaders like Al Sharpton or Jesse Jackson.

I tend to agree with this 100%.

If you're American, be it black or white you share the same culture. What makes people different are their experiences within the culture.

No. There is even distinct difference in culture within a race. Southerners have a very different culture than Northerners or Westerners.

Maybe not intentional but yes, it does seem that way, doesn't it? Because whites and blacks think differently, and whites are the mainstream or "default" as some say, it appears that whites stick together while blacks are thought to fight against each other in order to get ahead. Human nature.

I see more black people walking in crowds of 6 at the Walmart, than I do of whites, walking into Walmart. ...

Is that what you mean by which race sticks together more?

Speaking of Walmart, I see more blacks on the 6 o'clock news shoplifting and getting arrested, than I do whites shoplifting at Walmart and getting caught...

Here's the story of the black guy knocking out cold a police officer after stealing bleach...

BOILING SPRINGS, S.C. — A Spartanburg County Sheriff's deputy is in the hospital after he was knocked unconscious in a struggle to arrest a suspected shoplifter.
The Spartanburg Herald Journal reported Friday ( Deputy injured at Boiling Springs Walmart; suspect arrested after brief chase | GoUpstate.com) that Marcus Durran Osbey of Iman tried to steal bleach and dishwashing detergent at the Walmart in Boiling Springs. When a deputy responded to the store to arrest Osbey, a fight broke out.
Sheriff's spokesman Lt. Tony Ivey said the deputy fell during the struggle, striking his head.


Deputy injured at Boiling Springs Walmart; suspect arrested after brief chase

Marcus Durran Osbey, center, is accused of assaulting a Spartanburg County Sheriff's deputy who attempted to arrest him for shoplifting from the Boiling Springs Walmart on Friday. Investigators Tom Clark, left, and Lorin Williams, escorted Osbey out of the Sheriff's Office after Osbey was apprehended.








Osbey was later arrested by other officers. He is charged with strong-arm robbery, resisting arrest with injury, third-degree assault and battery.
Ivey said Osbey told investigators he fought the deputy because he had outstanding warrants for possession of drug paraphernalia and other charges. He is being held under a $32,000 cash bond.
