No group treating Black people bad? Look around the hood and you have your answer. It ain't white people offing most Blacks in 2012: it's other Blacks.
typical but I'm afraid you lost compared to what jazzy said, blacks killing blacks doesn't give racism and oppression any less of a pass. You couldn't combat his facts that he posted at all.
It happened and it corporate america it still happens daily.
I am an Occupier and I always hear how minorities and women are treated so horribly by white males, how white males will never know true pain or oppression, how good and true and innocent and sweet women and people of color are compared to white men, and so on.
It annoys me because for one, I AM a white male so I feel like people are telling me I should be ashamed of being so 'privileged' and that I am part of the problem unless I am apologetic for what I am, and two it ignores the fact that white people and men are far from the only demographic guilty of oppressing other people.
Not yet, I don't have my horns and devil tail yet. White elitest liberal males automatically get a pass.
Obama is "recently".........take a look at history.
We're talking about the white male value system, which is actually still controlling today, but changing somewhat because of the demographic changes taking place in this country.
For example, how many non-white, non-males have been President?
Which is neither here nor there. Obama IS President AND he's part Black. The glass ceiling for "people of color" is now broken.
"White male" system: so the color and sex has changed for the players a bit but the BASIC system is about the same.

"Race and oppression?" It ain't us white people doing the deed much anymore; it NOW the hood rats in 2012 who HATE seeing especially a Black dude take care of business cause it makes the rats look like fools.

You're wrong, the "glass ceiling" is not broken, it's cracked.
If you understood what I said about a white male value system, you would understand that a person doesn't have to be white in order to adhere to that value system. Many women at the top of the corporate ladder absolutely adhere to the white male value system. That's how they managed to get to the top. Yes, the system is basically the same, however, for the FIRST time, a black man is President, but that is only a sign of change to come. As the demographics in this country change, gradually, the value system will change as well.

Let's see. Would "hood rats" reflect white male value system thinking?

What you call the "white value" system is being civil. Funny cause the Japanese follow the same blueprint and they ain't white.

Obviously you are not familiar with the elements of the white male value system. Try doing a little research on the subject.
