The greatest advantage whites have over blacks is 70% of whites are not bastards, 70% of blacks are. It helps to have a father. I do not know what kind of a person I would have been without Dad.

The sad fact in our society is anyone can be a victim of discrimination and racism. I'm white and ive been hit with both before, multiple times. Ive been fired from a job before because I'm white. I don't let it get to me though, everyone and anyone can be a victim of in in our society in this day and age, life is not fair. People for the most part need to understand that.

Dang, we elected a black president yet people still complain. The First Lady is proud of the country finally, she even said so.
Blacks, you want equality? Then act equal.
Bill Cosby was right.

This is what I am talking about in another thread. Now times your experience by 10 thousand, for about 400 years and add in slavery.......There IS a difference. It does not make you wrong or bad or anything, you just need ot know that you do have a different world view based on the fact you are lucky enough to be white.

I know it's fun to pretend that "crusifiction" for being white is to blame for your lack of success-- but, in reality, as a white, you have built-in advantages. So get off your "not-taking-responsibility-for-yourself" behind and do something. Stop pretending the black man is holding you back.
En masse? Nah. In smaller microcosms of society? Heck yeah:

Are blacks treated equally? It is all their fault. There is no reason for their community to be stunted in its growth?

I don't think whites are discriminated against more than any other group, less actually, but the OP's premise sucks. What a horribly weak argument.

Clearly professional sports need race based hiring quotas like corporate companies do, it's only fair to combat the massive discrimination against white people. They need to stop hiring the best candidate for the job and immediately implement an affirmative action program.

FOOTBALL (NFL) RACIAL BREAKDOWN:
Black: 66%
White: 31%
Asian: 2%
Hispanic: 1%

BASKETBALL (NBA) RACIAL BREAKDOWN:
Black: 76%
White: 20%
Hispanic: 3%
Asian: 1%

Correct, Sam Barrow. The initial thread is based on meaningless data. Income is a compilation of many factors, a tremendous amount of them subject to individual control.
