Deny, deny, deny. This is black folks biggest problem. How come Asians, Hispanics and Middle Eastern people have adapted well in our countey...yet many AAs still cannot? I work witha woman from Africa. She always shakes her head at the hood rat mentaility and cannot understand for the life of her why all AAs cannot adapt to our society and stop the victim game. Shes very smart, articulate and motivated to work hard. She is married and is a loving mother. We exchange gifts every hear for Christmas.
it's not agout color, its about charachter. Everyone knows this.
Nah. You are making lots of baseless, uninformed statements and depending on Reicht-wing stereotypes to back them up.
Lucario,
when stats show that the number one indicator of violent crime is not income, but indeed black skin, how do you explain this?
Systemic racism causing police to arrest black men for rape and murder at astonishing rates, I guess?
Or do you reject the truthful claim outright and choose to live in an alternative reality?
Again I repeat, the soft bigotry of low expectations..
The president was elected by guilty white people exclusively because he was black, you guys get a free pass in all institutions of academia and the workplace, and yet african american culture is probably the single most broken culture in Western Civilization.
Hows that deniability under the guise of multicultural etiquette working out for you? Deny the crime stats, deny reality, call honest people racists and bait everyone into going along for the ride in silence..ahhh modern liberalism..
I assume many/most of us have friends/coworkers/acquaintances who are black/white (the opposite of whatever you are). I'm also going to guess that many of us here feel (you may or may not) that race relations have taken a backward step in the last few years.
Have your feelings on the macro state of race relations in the US impacted your more personal dealings with people of another race?
Do you care?
On the micro level, mine have not, but on the macro level, I've definitely become more cynical and negative towards hood rats, protesters and race baiters.
Personally, I don't feel affected by "race relations" so much. It affected me a bit before I retired, as the workforce I was in did have a schism , along color lines. I can't say that things are like that in all, large, diverse workforces, but it was pretty bad in that one.
I interact, daily, with people of different colors, still, and there is no...tension..present. There have been a small number of incidents, all from rather...unlikely...sources, that qualify as race related, with one, major and notable exception. That one I don'twant to discuss. All in all, the various colors of folks, around here, get along just fine. At least in the community, at large.
We all mInd our own business, live and let live, and don't feel any call to notice skin tone. I'm happy to be in that place. True racial division and tension is no longer a factor in my life. Though I have experienced it, I'm OK with it being in the past.

That's a meaningless phrase, akin to so many others added to the racial discussion lexicon. "racial tension," etc. etc.
We can pretend that there is a huge problem with systemic racism in America, but there isn't. White kids with poor parents and a 3.7 GPA have trouble getting into med school, black kids with a 2.9 have their choice of med schools. Academic institutions are instructed to try their best to keep the numbers private so that we can keep on going with the myth that affirmative action merely gives black kids a minor lift.
Every major institution in America gives a non-trivial leg-up to black applicants.
Let's be blunt about the problem that plagues US Society: Black crime.
There is a reason the Obama Administration keeps a very tight lid on FBI crime stats relative to race; the results are incredibly embarrassing.
There is a reason the academic establishment rejects publicizing all research on IQ as relates to race; the results are incredibly embarrassing.
There is a reason they don't want you to know about black crime in lower middle class black neighborhoods, as opposed to the poor ones; the establishment wants to perpetuate the myth that crime is an economic issue, not a racial one.
The soft bigotry of low expectations is the calling card of the establishment class when it comes to black people. It has failed.
That's the sort of thing that makes my blood boil more than anything. That our society is actually actively promoting less qualified individuals; the fact that people are promoted on the basis of their race is beyond appalling.
And as long as it stays that way, I hope racial tension remains in the gutter, honestly. Until you people stop with your **** and don't discriminate against whites I have no respect in any way for you.

A few things...
I'm happy that your blood is boiling.
Don't judge race relations based on your personal race relations.
I'm glad you hope race relations stay in the gutter seeing as how it makes you so angry (boiling blood).

No one is discriminating against you.
We don't care about your respect.
There it is.
Let's be honest; you don't care about the word "respect" in any context. That's why immigrant groups come over here and succeed literally every day, and African American neighborhoods almost universally look like sub-Saharan African with food stamps and refurbished police cruisers.
You can dismiss every honest, non-patronizing white man as a racist if you want. It's what the ruling class wants from you, it's what black "leaders" expect.
But maybe wise up and take a look at the score sheet.
As a white man who grew up in poverty, the disaster of African American culture barely effects me. I carry a gun to keep the "youths" at bay, and I live in a beautiful gated community.
Your "brothers" almost universally live in poverty, stupidity, and ignorance despite every opportunity to succeed.
Maybe it's time for a change of strategy?
