At least you're honest enough to admit it.

As did Livonia, MI. These two cities are over 90% White non Hispanic. In fact, Livonia has the distinction of being America's Whitest city of over 100,000 people.

That may or may not be true depending on the event or situation but one major event is not the only reason Detroit is what it is today.

Also.....at least you don't contradict the fact that you're a racist and have a victim card in your wallet....or as previously stated that you have a black beret and billy club in your closet

I didn't say the ONLY reason. It seems like you have trouble reading the posts and keeping up.

It may or may not be true? Why are there two Koreas? An event in the past had a large bearing on the current situation. Large events in the past have a bearing on the current outcome.

Rick, I truly hope that you aren't in PR. You're doing a great job humiliating yourself on this thread.

That would be a compliment considering the source.

Thank You

Fortunately the city is showing some signs of rebounding.

If people make poor financial decisions or poor lifestyle decisions in terms of getting involved in crime, drugs, or having children when they can't afford them those are personal choices that an individual must take responsibility for.


So when a black person is dealing with an unplanned pregnancy, homelessness, incarceration, unemployment or lack of education due to poor decision making, is that the fault of the black person who made the bad decisions or white males generally?

Following that line of reasoning, why should white males who do not make these poor decisions nearly as often as blacks be required to sit in the back so as to remedy outcome inequalities caused by the poor decisions of blacks?

I thnik to be oppressed you have to accept it and I really don't see that the disadvantage of white i some areas by regulation has stopped them really. Asians certainly haven't let it bother them and in fact used it to there advantage in motivation.You have t be beter has always propelled mnay indivduals to great heights.

Whites still hold a disproportionate share of power and previlege in this country. To say that Whites are oppressed is absolutely absurd.

Whites, however, are losing some of their dominance in the recent decades, which may cause some to feel alarm.

The balance of power in the world is shifting, not just in racial demographics in the US, but amongst nation states in the world.

No, it's not a compliment. Esp. when you've not even illustrated your argument well. Oh do, pray tell, illustrate how Whites are being oppressed? Can you do you do that? Since you've not really manage to come up with any evidence. You have been able to twist words, misread, not grasp basic concepts of history and sociology, but def. not form a cohesive argument.
