When will we know when it's ok in your opinion to treat everyone equally regardless of race?
How many years has it been since bank robbing has been illegal? Are there still bank robberies?

None of the years you posted represents an "End" to racial oppression.

If you do not want that greater responsibility, then give up the power and wealth. Do you actually think blacks would give a rats arse about what whites say about us if our wealth was 15 times greater than yours, our poverty rate 3 times less than your and our unemployment rate twice as good as yours and you essentially had no power to systematically do anything to us?

That having been said.....the root of blacks negative feelings toward whites is how whites have historically mistreated and looked down upon blacks. Its more resentment of how we were treated by whites. On the other hands, the root of whites dislike for blacks is what.....that we wanted our freedom? That we want equality? Whites have a long history of hating on blacks....but why? What did we ever do to you?
Here is the problem with this whole mentality: it dismiss the individual and focuses on the skin color. That becomes evident when there are words such as "us" and "you" in reference to different racial demographics. There has to be a focus on the individual and not the race of the individual regardless of whether you are white or black or Asian. It is patently irrational for a black person to resent a randomly selected white person, or an entire racial demographic, just as it is patently irrational for a white person to look at crime statistics and then assume the black person walking down the street must surely be up to no good.

Here are a few quick scenarios and the rational, objective way to view them...

If you are a woman who has been raped by a black man, that does not mean you should be bigoted against black people, or for that matter, black men. Your feelings might be in some way understandable, but they are not rational and are in fact, unacceptable in a multiracial society.

If a black motorist in a parking lot witnesses his parked car hit and dented by an Asian motorist, and the Asian motorist leaves the scene, the black motorist is not eligible for financial compensation form another Asian motorist.

If a black person has ancestors who were slaves in the American South, it is irrational, and socially unacceptable to harbor animosity to any individual white person, or for that matter, white people in general.

It is socially unacceptable for a white business man, or woman, looking to hire, to deny employment to a black person for any reason other than a lack of qualifications.

In summation: "guilt by race" whether it is race-wide or at the individual level is irrational and unacceptable in a multiracial culture.

"Who cares"

"So what"

"It's just words"

"Ignore it and it'll go away"

"Freedom of speech"

//www.city-data.com/forum/polit...k-woman-2.html

Let me guess...all of a sudden, none of the above applies.

Back in the mid-1990s, Jennifer Gratz, who is white, didn’t land a spot at the university of michigan despite having a 3.8 GPA and a host of extracurricular activities. .

The university assigned a point value to applications from minority students that could help them get in. The points system amounted to a 230-point addition for blacks on the 1600-point SAT scale
I am pointing out the following:


1. The person that made the tweet is not some 'liberal', but an alt-right person, perhaps trolling. People are welcome to look him up (he has a rather unique name).


2. American Resistance is a white supremacist website. Perhaps not your best source of information.

We've been called racists for decades. Now the truth is coming out. I've always known this and have very aware of it due to being "bussed" into a majority black high school. We were taunted, bullied, and some even beaten. Why? Because we were white.

It is finally becoming known that we, the white people are the ones who have been the hated, not the hates all along.

Be aware.

Post 33.

You challenged the poster to find equally repugnant posts on this forum. That would easily be proven if those posts and threads weren't deleted.

Good grief.

There's really no point to any of this, is there?

So do you think overcoming systematic and multiple centuries long oppression can be achieved in like 50 years? Do you believe since lets say the Civil Rights Act, that blacks can build up enough generational wealth to have decent lineages?...without the usage of "free labor and free land"?




If you want to ignore clear cut things that still clearly impact stuff in 2017, fine...just don't come jumping in threads trying to convince people that you're right.

Everyone knows that how a person generally feels about a group is not necessarily how they feel about an individual. The fact that blacks resent, in general, how white society treated and looked down upon blacks does not necessarily mean that a black person who believed that will hold some random white person that they meet in contempt. Hell....I know plenty of outspoken blacks who resent what whites in general, but who date white women (almost exclusively). Again, its not about the people you know....its about the people you do not know.

In other words, blacks walk and chew gum at the same time. Its not either or.

America has just balkanized along racial lines and its only going to get worse. Countries like Yugoslavia formed new nations along ethnic lines and they were the same race! Our balkanization is alot worse.Like they say, to the end the hate, separate.





That pretty much sums it up, California and silicon valley is one of the most segregated places in the US but libs are living in a protected bubble, you can really see the race problems in the schools systems the most. I think thats why you see so many white young people in generation z and white millennials that like trump. They see how bad the multicultural future really looks, you would have to go back 30 years to find a republican that won the white youth vote
So that makes you a white separist? Just out of curiosity, how does that play out? First of all who is white? Is it like a drop of blood or just white looking? How would you divide the US?
I am not being facetious, I am truly curious.
