Whether something is ok for another person to do is your opinion. I certainly have not touched whether it was ok for him to do that.
But this idea that this represents racism is absurd and dumb and crazy and false.
Blacks supporting and defending black racism. Like we didn't know that's how you roll.... Just admit it, you think it's ACCEPTABLE for blacks to be racists for all eternity and use it as an excuse to do nothing with their lives.
Good question, in simple terms taxing imported good more and using that extra tax dollars to help with social programs. We allowed corporations to ship jobs overseas for cheaper labor and left ourselves with lower wage jobs. That is not okay.
So penalize those of all income brackets who wish to buy a product you dont approve of and give the penalty to the federal government as an additional revenue stream? Horrible idea.
We didnt allow corporations anything as they arent ours to dictate to,they are privately held and operate in a manner that will ensure survival or maybe you prefer corporate welfare when they go bust?
I have no biases. You on the other hand blindly accept double standards and continue to lay blame on people alive today who had nothing to do with the sins of this nation's past, nor do they have anything to do in 2014 with the shortcomings of black people! So, the next time you want run your mouth and call someone ignorant, you'd better look in the mirror!
Well everyone has biases and not all biases are racial biases, but in this case.....
Again there is no double standard. I look at objective reality the state of the world. Racism is systematic discrimination. The confederate flag is a symbol of slavery and racism. Jay Z wearing a medallion is Not racism.
I don't know what you are looking at to arrive at the opposite conclusions maybe your ignorance and personal biases.
I have not laid blame on people alive today for anything. Two points, understanding how we arrived at today means understanding our nation's past. There are plenty of sins that are being committed in present day America concerning racism against black Americans and the stats show this consistently.
The shortcomings of black people? What an utterly prejudiced thought. I didn't know that races had collective shortcomings.
Irrelevant! Nobody suggested raising the minimum wage to CEO levels.
I simply pointed out the hypocrisy in these arguments that any costs associated with CEO's and shareholders do not adversely impact prices.
Nonsense! I run a business and labor is 0% of my total costs.
a typical quick-serve restaurant spends about 30% of its income on labor.
perhaps you should consider the limits of your own experience
supply and demand is the ONLY thing that matters when determining price.
Really? Labor is 0% of your total costs? So, you run a business for free and don't charge people an amount that allows you to pay yourself? Tell me, exactly how do you pay for your personal housing, food, and utilities in this scenario?
I think you might want to reconsider your statement....

I can see how economics can be confusing to someone who thinks that labor costs make up 0% of their business costs.

There is no such thing a black racism. There is only racism. There is not some special category of black........ oh forget it. Same ole same ole same ole bs. You cats are in fantasyland.
The truth. Both races enslaved both races. It's not a racial thing.

Then you'll have to admit that the Blacks who had their slaves labor to support the Confederacy were racist and evil. Do you agree?

A simple Google search was all that was needed here. Here is an exerpt; The Five Percent Nation sometimes called Nations of Gods and Earths believes all white people are evil. If that isn't a racist view then I don't know what is?

Please provide examples.

Were you not the one that brought up systematic racism against black people? Oh, I see in typical leftist fashion, we're moving the goal posts.
Nah, I enjoy these discussions. Please proceed.

Correct. So then you should be able to see the hypocrisy here. It's OK for Jay Z to wear a racist symbol, but if someone wears a Confederate Flag.... nope, can't have that.

So you are going with the insane premise that slavery wasn't about racial oppression? Absolutely insane and crazy nonsense. Saying American slavery wasn't about racial oppression is like saying the sky isn't blue, water isn't wet, fat meat isn't greasy. I mean, there are no historians and very, very, very, very few Americans who don't see slavery as racial oppression.
Uh yeah anyone who supported the confederacy was racist and evil.
So you are going with the insane premise that slavery wasn't about racial oppression? Absolutely insane and crazy nonsense.
Only to those who are ignorant of the fact that both Black and White slave owners owned Black and White slaves.
I realize you've been brainwashed to believe otherwise, but had you had a legitimate education, you would have learned that slavery is evil, but it was practiced by both races and oppressed both races.
