use all of our inventions ... blacks made things too like the traffic light, how would you function your life without one?
or the air conditioner.. people love air...
or the cellular phone.. i can check CD with that one..and so many others i can't keep count
and i'm sure other cultures make inventions too that you use.. so please find another way to insult them, maybe one that holds up
Here is my question. Why should "statistics" be a reason to treat any individual Black person differently and unfairly? I don't see any reason for it.
There is no reason. After you went to the hospital with a co worker to support her and her family as her mother was taking he last breath of life and you see the pain and agony of the grandkids screaming and crying after the doctor said "she is gone, I am very sorry", I felt that pain too even though I never knew the lady or my co worker's kids. I felt it every bit as bad as they did. Because they were black made not a damn bit of difference for me. I just thought of them as human like myself. When I was in prison many years ago, it was hard for me to hold on to being a human. I had to really try to do so because prison has ways of taking your soul from you if you let it. But I didn't let it take mine. There were lots of racist people in prison. Black and white. It would have been very easy for me to lose my humanhood in there. I was glad on that day in that hospital room with that co worker and friend that I found out that I had not lost my soul.
One of my best friends, ever, was a very black boy of 19 who had more sense about race than anyone of either race I have ever known. He just didn't give a damn about what race a man was when dealing with him. I learned more about race from Joe Morris than from anyone else I have ever known and he wasn't in favor of welfare,but that was in 1954.

Exactly the point I was pushing. We're all human beings. One's merit is suppose to be more important than race.
Would those people have invented those things in Nigeria or any other predominantly black country in Africa? If they had been able to do it how many of them would have been manufactured in those countries? I think that those people really got to do what they did because they lived in the right country.
I don't know if they were to invent it or not. My point was in response to a poster who was basically claiming in his own way that Blacks couldn't do anything.
I would not have that in my house. Not only because I do not agree with it but because God via the church condems it. My family members are very Catholic and I would remind that that our church teaches against that kind of stuff. Catholic Teaching - Moving Beyond Racism
Very nice. I'm Black and Catholic. Racism goes against what the teachings of Jesus Christ are about. When more people learn this and act accordingly, maybe we can eradicate racism.

Exactly.
So I'm guessing you are opposed to affirmative action, racial quotas, and "diversity" initiatives that discriminate on the basis of race, at the expense of merit.

There should be a system in place to ensure that qualified people get the job regardless of race, and to prevent discrimination of any kind.
I would also be in favor of getting rid of racial profiling as well.
And I asked you a question about 5 weeks ago on another thread. I never got an answer.
You seem to be a master of ambiguity, so I'm assuming you are "bouty bouty" when it comes to Affirmative Action.
My life has been a little hectic with work/family/girlfriend lately, so could you kindly pose the question again and I will respond sometime tomorrow.
It was question I asked you regarding Golden Dawn in Greece basically attacking and killing you. It was on a thread regarding President Obama. The question was about Nazism.
