Plus the media. They can't make big bucks unless they stir up drama so people will tune in.

How would Sharpton pay his mortgage if not for racism?

People of color use it as a crutch because they're community leaders make them feel like victims. It makes them rich.

And you know that, how?

It is called affirmative action. Even the NFL does it with the "Rooney Rule"

Please tell me you aren't this blind. You can try to be PC all day, but PC isn't where truth is found.

Well,when someone will not hire you because your skin color is black and your hair is not mainstream,what should you do?


Let me ask you a question.....would you hire a woman of color who has an afro?

I believe black people are the most discriminated against because their physical features are the most opposite of white.

The whole premise of this thread is illogical. If racism is learned, then the smarter we are (more learning), the more racist we would be. Isn't knowledge the antidote to racism and isn't racism ignorance? The advancement in scientific knowledge has proven that we are not races of people, but people of one race.

The advancement of scientific knowledge actually points to further differences between whites and blacks, but keep believing whatever makes you feel warm inside.

Actually not true at all. There is no such thing in science or humanity as a "white race" or "black race"

Its people who believe otherwise that actually are believing whatever keeps them warm inside
