Who said blacks had a different culture? I meant a culture of despair and hopelessness which is widespread in the community - and it has become a self-fulfilling prophecy .
I don't 'claim' to have seen what I saw. I know what I saw in the white community. And if you don't care about it, I'll still sleep well at night.
The US has got lot more unsympathetic to claims of racism keeping certain minorities down now that Obama was elected - and perhaps not without merit
You make no sense. If black people don't have a different culture, then using culture as an explanation fails.
I don't care what you claim to have seen. It is not something I am at all interested in discussing.
The US has always been unsympathetic to claims of racism, so that nothing new. I see you have nothing to add. Carry on.
You tell me which one it is... But America wants a to remember that Holocaust as if it happened on that soil though.

Contrary to popular belief, white people DO want to see blacks succeed. Cause if they do, then there will be less drugs, less crime, less hate and less everything negative associated with underachieving minorities
No it's thinking like that, that will let people see the truth.
You don't honor your ancestors??? That's disrespectful for real! Plenty of people don't (including blacks) though but it is an Afrikan tradition and is necessary...

Strange thread. Whoever said that whites were "keeping folks down" to begin with?
I've never met a white man that could keep me down...not once. Funny how no black person in all my years has ever claimed such a thing to me personally. Not even the lowest, poorest ones. They may have said this or that about the system in general, but I don't know anyone that fears being held down by the white man.
Besides, most whites are barely scraping by themselves. Who in the hell are they equipped to "hold down?"
Oh well...another race baiting thread. But of course, its the blacks that are fixated on race around here, right? Especially the liberal blacks.
Of course, look at all the race threads and see who starts nearly ALL of them. Lol..yeah.
It may seem like a general statement, but its true. Look at the worst neighborhoods, the cities that once flourished at one time. Many have something in common. And while the black community cant be solely blamed for each case, in most cases, they have been a part of the problem. Detroit, Birmingham, Chicago. Neighborhoods in nearly every state across the country
Yes, for example my own home neighborhood of Roxbury. White people burned homes for insurance money, rioted when schools were desegregated, refused to give loans for black people who wanted to live elsewhere, dumped trash on empty lots that the city refused to develop, and moved in high pollution via bus depots. Cops who basically shrugged when black kids got shot went berserk when Charles and Carol Stuart got shot in the same area (Charles blamed a nondescript black man, but actually shot himself and his wife) Meanwhile, black-dominated groups like the Dudley Street Neighborhood Initiative fought back against the city's open neglect of the area, often successfully.
In other words, you are absolutely correct to say that many black neighborhoods are deteriorated, but you fail to recognize the actual reasons for this.
Huh? I have been to Jamiaca but that does not mean I'm Jamaican
