Does no one else see the similarities between media programming such as this, and the anti-Jewish propaganda of the nazi party? This is where stuff like this starts people! Call it what you want, but scapegoating is still scapegoating.
shareOkay, wow...that's so wrong. First, your denial about what this introduces is ignorant. White privilege exists. That's shown here in only a fraction of the examples.
Secondly, American media has always had a positive portrayal of white people, even now. Jesus is portrayed as white and he's from the Middle East. This ONE show about race comes on, and you refer to it as propaganda. Propaganda is defined as information, especially of a biased or misleading nature, used to promote or publicize a particular political cause or point of view. That being said, how is this misleading or biased? Maybe if the participants were non-white...
White privilege exists.
You're kidding me, right? Okay, gravity hasn't always had a name, but it has always existed. White privilege was a term coined in 1988 by an elderly white woman by the name of Peggy Mcintosh who also discussed male privilege. The concept, however, was first introduced by W.E.B. DuBois, so it's not nearly as new as you probably think it is.
I do love how, even with social issues, people bring up economic models as the culprit for these issues; it's not particularly logical. Furthermore, I don't know how you get Marxism out of it, unless you don't realize what Marxism is. The same can be said for socialism. And if you haven't noticed, the richest people in this country are predominantly white, so, yes, money does speak loud and clear.
There's also plenty of evidence of white privilege. In case you didn't pay attention to the show, I'll explain it for you. First off, your statistics are wrong. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the unemployment rate for white people ages 16 and up is 5.2% while that number is 9.6% for African-Americans. If you take Hispanic and Asian people into account, that number increases to 20.1%.
According to The Bureau of Justice Statistics, per 100,000 incarcerated people, black people are incarcerated 5 times as often as their white counterparts while Hispanics are incarcerated 3 times as often. It's not because they commit more crimes (that would simply be a claim of white privilege), but the contrary. White people still make up the majority of the US population at 64%; however, when they commit a crime, they are less likely to be convicted of that crime than a minority who has committed the same crime with no prior criminal history. Even when they are convicted, black people receive harsher sentencing.
Again, according to the Bureau of Justice Statistics, 12.3% of black drivers are pulled over with 74% of them feeling there was a good reason. Only 3.9% of white drivers are pulled over with 86% of them feeling there was a good reason. I've spent a lot of years and a lot of money attending school and attaining degrees. I know how to do my research.
No one said that being white is something that they should feel guilty about; people can't control their race and no one should be made to feel bad because of race. But while you're claiming that this is propaganda, racism, and stereotypes, I've just provided you with accurate, unbiased statistics to dispel any of those things. Your use of false numbers is propagating and promoting racial stereotypes.
Racism didn't end in the 50s and 60s. There are plenty of people who openly admit to being racist. If you haven't been paying attention to current events, you should look up Dylann Roof or the series of predominantly black churches being burned down or Sandra Bland...just a few examples for your reading and viewing pleasure. The ideology isn't outdated. Also, look up reflexive harm; I think you're confusing that for racism. I really could go on and on, so, if you'd like to bring up more false statistics or need any more examples, I get email notifications. :)
Matt Williams you really owned him with this reply.
This shows low ratings is due to the denial of white people who are like ostrich with their head buried in the sand.
Gravity exists in the physical world, White Privilege only exists in mental world of Marxists. Like Marx said, it's just a "social construct"!
You don't seem to understand how much Marxist BS comes out of social "sciences". Just look at the ToC in this article, the guy's a Marxist just like you. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/W._E._B._Du_Bois At least he wasn't a Stalinist.
In 1950, at the age of 82, Du Bois ran for U.S. Senator from New York on the American Labor Party ticket and received about 200,000 votes, or 4% of the statewide total.[246] Du Bois continued to believe that capitalism was the primary culprit responsible for the subjugation of colored people around the world, and therefore – although he recognized the faults of the Soviet Union – he continued to uphold communism as a possible solution to racial problems.[247] In the words of biographer David Lewis, Du Bois did not endorse communism for its own sake, but did so because "the enemies of his enemies were his friends."[247] The same ambiguity characterized Du Bois's opinions of Joseph Stalin: in 1940 he wrote disdainfully of the "Tyrant Stalin",[248] but when Stalin died in 1953, Du Bois wrote a eulogy characterizing Stalin as "simple, calm and courageous", and lauding him for being the "first [to] set Russia on the road to conquer race prejudice and make one nation out of its 140 groups without destroying their individuality".[249]share
First, let me give you a little history about Karl Marx. He felt that capitalism created a social construct of two classes - the bourgeoisie and the proletariat. The prior owns the means of production while the latter is at the mercy of the true capitalists (as the bourgeoisie class is the one to gain from such a system). I'm not bashing capitalism, as every economic model has downsides, but that is undeniably true. We even use socioeconomic status as a means to separate individuals and pinpoint their demographics along with age, race, height, weight, et cetera. However, many of Marx's views would lead to dictatorship of the proletariat which contradicted his beliefs of freedom for humanity and hated of the caste system.
That being said, I feel that you fail to realize that social and economic construct have to go hand in hand (sort of like Marx). America is a capitalist democracy, or at least that's what it should be, but we can still have one without the other (capitalism without democracy and vice versa). So, please do explain why people who know that white privilege exists are Marxists and I'll explain why you're wrong.
Also, in case you didn't read the statistics that I just posted on disparities in incarceration, arrests, sentencing, and unemployment, you should. If you would rather not I'll give you the abridged version: racial minorities get the short end of the stick. Oh, and that, along with gravity, exists in the physical world.
Now, one of the many things I studied in my undergraduate years was Psychology, a social science. It is that very field that tells advertisers how to sell their products, what people should say in job interviews and on first dates, how to promote good behavior in our children, et cetera. Its research has largely formed the foundation of every successful industry in the world. Do not discredit social sciences without an understanding of what it is and the countless ways that it affects you on a daily basis.
Finally, you've contradicted yourself in an attempt to prove me wrong. "Du Bois did not endorse communism for its own sake, but did so because 'the enemies of his enemies were his friends.'" In other words, he wasn't a communist, but took that stance as a measure to eradicate racism. Without considering that, it was a really poor example because segregation was still alive and well.
...your turn.
How do the crime stats work out when you separate out the Asian Americans? My understanding is that Asian Americans have lower incarceration rates than white Americans. That completely destroys your hateful concept of "white privilege."
In closing, don't forget: to be truly intolerant, you must become progressive.
https://whatevertheweather61.wordpress.com/
Actually they are committing more crime, anyone who bothers to look at violent crime stats would know this. I'm not talking about drugs, I'm talking about there is a body in the street and there is no question a crime has been committed. Black people account for over 52% of the homicides in the USA when they make up around 14% of the population. So unless you are claiming white people are actually to blame for the black men dead in the streets then you have something to answer for on your claim that they dont commit more crime.
shareSo lets see. It had nothing to do with them not wanting to work and live off the government. Or not having the skills for the job because they chose not to got to school. Every single one I have encountered at work always cried racial discrimination when there was none at all.
It has nothing to do with their driving skills or lack of, or blasting cRap music from their vehicles as the reasons for getting pulled over. Or their smart ass attitudes when dealing with law enforcement.
I guess it's also my fault that they commit so many crimes that get them incarcerated.
Talk about having your head buried in the sand.
You guys are hilarious. Let's do a quick analysis into the current state of affairs of the American economy.
The federal minimum wage is currently lower than what the government believes to be enough to not live in poverty ($10.10 per hour with a 40-hour work week). If that's not a big enough problem, that's only to stay out of poverty, it doesn't include quality of life standards and small luxuries that, as American citizens, I feel we should be entitled to have (going to a restaurant every now and again, putting money toward retirement, having a savings account - I use the term "luxury" very loosely). In 1968, at peak of income equality in American history, the minimum wage was approximately $21.16, adjusted for inflation and standards of decency. Maybe if people earned what they should be earning, they wouldn't have to live off the government.
That brings me to my next point. You see, it's the responsibility of any functioning government to take care of its citizens and to act in their best interest. If the government can't tell corporate America to pay their workers decent wages, then tax payers have to foot the bill. If you have a problem with that, maybe you should vote for candidates who aren't in opposition of a minimum wage increase. Furthermore, the largest recipients of welfare are corporations. Social welfare accounts for $59 billion each year while corporations get $92 billion. This all goes without considering tax cuts, tax havens, and tax loopholes. So, they take more of your money than the individuals who rely on social welfare. If you're going to be mad at anyone, be mad at those who seek corporate welfare while making their employees (with jobs necessary to operate their businesses) seek social welfare.
Let's tackle your comment on receiving higher education. Now, I'm pretty smart and have quite a few degrees and accolades to show it; therefore, I was fortunate enough to find lots of scholarships to fund my educational pursuits. That is not, however, the case for most young Americans who would like to attend college. These days, an education for American students is more expensive than it has ever been in the history of the world. People graduate with 5- or 6-figure debt and have very little to show for it. Then, they're scolded when they're unable to repay the student loans they needed in order to pay for their schooling. So, they're condemned if they don't go to school and they're condemned if they do. You're so wise...what's your solution?
Also, you can't use empirical evidence to support a claim. There's no way to prove or disprove this evidence and it's not indicative of what happens to an entire population.
Now, your next paragraph is purely racist. You're making the assumptively insinuating that black people are poor drivers who blast "crap" music. Do you really believe that's what happens all the time? Or are you just looking for ways to justify your racism? Is that what happened with Sandra Bland? Don't answer incorrectly because I will correct you. And apparently, you didn't read what my previous comment said. Black people are incarcerated at higher rates than their white counterparts who commit the same crime without having any prior convictions. It's obvious you're racist. As such, you can't really provide a rational, unbiased argument.
Are you done?
yadda yadda yadda. yawn
shareyadda yadda yadda. yawn
Unarmed individuals. SMH Yes, so innocent. What about all the unarmed white people killed by blacks?
shareYou don't seem to understand the difference between a civilian killing a civilian versus a cop killing a civilian. Civilians can be criminals...that's why there are cops. Police officers take an oath to protect and serve. They are paid by our tax dollars to do so, and when they break that oath to kill, harass, and brutalize people of color, there's a big difference. Furthermore, there's so little accurate data on interracial crime because when a lot of white people commit these crimes, they aren't convicted (much like the cops who've obviously done wrong).
Are you a racist? I just want to make sure I'm reading this correctly.
"I feel we should be entitled to have"
"Now, I'm pretty smart and have quite a few degrees and accolades to show it"
Says all we need to know about you.
Wow, so don't address anything else about what I wrote...just attack me for the single opinion I made about what you said and disregard all the facts I presented. Yes. That's how you win an argument. By the way, this is America, so saying people deserve such small things isn't asking much.
And what does my education have to say about me? That I'm educated? The rest of what I wrote should tell you what you need to know. Don't attack me because you feel belittled and can't support your naive stance.
Minimum wage jobs are not meant to be a job to live your life on. It's a starting point.
Oh, and did you see how those that got their increase in wages now want less hours so they can still get their freebies. So typical.
Gee, maybe don't start having kids and crying about wages until you can earn enough to support having them.
But by your way of thinking, EVERYONE is entitled to what other have and earn.
And really, let's attack the corporations and start in on them. No, I think their is a lot more welfare to those self-imposed poverty people going out, and they and their ilk affect me and everyone else more that corporations. The crime they commit is out of control.
Oh, and Sandra, typical smart ass not doing what was requested of her. Always damn attitude.
A starting point? Okay, I suppose you also believe the idea that these jobs are for high school students. I'll debunk both of those myths. If these jobs were for high school students, they wouldn't exists. Most public schools are in session from roughly 8 AM to 3 PM. They obviously can't work before school and preparation/commuting for work after school would take about an hour, so businesses with minimum wage positions couldn't operate before 4 PM. Saying that it's not something to live one's life on is basically saying that they're expecting to miraculously find a better-paying job, get a promotion, or attain an education. I've discussed the education bit, already. There aren't enough positions within any establishment to promote all the minimum wage earners to higher paying careers. Plus, there'd be no one working the lower-paid jobs unless the business has poor employee retention which is a sign of a poor business.
As far as what happened in Seattle with people wanting less hours, it's because it makes sense. You see, liberals wanted a hike of the minimum wage straight to $15 per hour while conservatives argued it would be a bad thing. You can blame that on them. Instead, the decided to incrementally increase wages as a method of adjustment. The minimum wage increased from $9.32 to $11, a difference of $1.68. Post-tax, that amounts to only $60 per 40-hour week. If someone is only receiving SNAP benefits, by the end of the month, that person only has $45 more each month from this so-called minimum wage "hike." Most people receive much more than that because they have dependents. They can't afford to lose all their benefits for a total increase of $240 per month. That's ridiculous.
Now, you want to condemn people for having children? I guess you're also pro-life. That plays people into a corner. "No, you can't have an abortion, but you better be able to take care of your children without using welfare." If you aren't pro-life, you aren't considering the circumstances for which people do have kids. Some are raped, some don't believe in abortion, some were married and had to divorce or had a spouse that died. Yes another irrational argument on your behalf.
And have you just COMPLETELY forgotten the figure on corporate welfare versus social welfare? You're upset with the wrong people, my friend. I don't understand why people trust corporations. We have Google. Just take a look at how many times they've screwed us over. Not paying taxes, getting multi-billion dollar bailouts, getting unnecessary subsidies, displacing jobs for their own interest, selling us products that kill us, et cetera. Self-imposed poverty exists, but that's not the case for most people. People are born into poverty and are statistically less likely to find upward mobility. There are countless reasons for this and I'll be more than happy to share them with you if you ask nicely. Again, corporate welfare = 92 billion (from rich people who can afford to pay up); social welfare = 59 billion (from people who are in poverty).
Oh, and you must have no idea what your rights are or what a police state is. Seriously, look up to the events and requirements of people that led up to Nazi Germany. The cop was on a power trip, the DA said it, everything about that situation was wrong, and you know all of this. I wouldn't expect a racist to admit it, though.
Racism didn't end in the 50s and 60s.
Matt name some people benefiting from white privilege and what those privileges are.
Your entire argument is reliant on bullying people into agreeing with your pseudo intellectual drivel.
The arguments I so frequently destroy often come down to demanding names, dates, places, tangible and intangible evidence which nobody can provide.
Class legislation is a form of law created to benefit a fringe group.
None exists in favor of white people, NONE.
Every single piece of class legislation I have ever read is in favor of minorities but most specifically blacks and hispanics.
The case for bigfoot has better evidence than yours does.
When some racist idiot actor talks about how "we've all seen that rich white family in the restaurant with their crazy children running around, screaming, reeking havoc while we're this poor black family just sitting there taking it..."
Yes because rich people eat in the same restaurants with poor people idiot.
I also lived through the 80's and 90's of being in restaurants and movie theaters with black people and the jokes from the Wayans bros and in living color are 100% accurate.
These people would just roar and talk and run around the theater or restaurant and to have this retard in Bill Maher talking about how we've all see the rich white kids doing it?
Rich white people eat at yacht clubs, country clubs and bistros where a salad costs 25 bucks!
White privilege, white entitlement etc. it's really just racist propaganda circulated by racist blacks and hispanics.
White people cannot go out and make the equivalent movie of "White Chicks" named Black Bitches and this is one piece of evidence that can have hundreds of others added to it until this post is 500 paragraphs long.
Matt I'm definitely a lot older than you and I lived through white flight.
We left our neighborhood in the 80's because of the violence and racism blacks brought into our neighborhood. These people adamantly hated white people and would literally terrorize their new neighbors until they moved out and wouldn't you know it, their cousin or brother or uncle would buy the house for a cost well under market value.
Irony is MTV has done a great job putting white musicians out of work while showcasing, rewarding and even awarding minorities who aren't actually composing music yet making a killing in the music industry. Again, I was there in the 90's when I saw what it did to your so called white privileged.
It turned millions of white kids into self loathing sympathizers supporting a racist subculture that made a lot of blacks and jews extremely rich. You couldn't socialize if you didn't pander to the gangster rap and gutter culture that had taken over all thanks to marketing schemes.
I can just go on and on with what I see such as all of our local city colleges and universities giving black applicants absolute precedence and when you talk to the white students the racism they endure is rampant. Racism in on campus, in the dorms, in the immediate community because there is a system of minority entitlement.
Matt if you want to have it out I'm going to destroy you.
You're a brainwashed moron, you're pandering to a hate movement and the evidence I have compiled on my computer will humiliate not just you but your family as well.
I have a black on white crime log and the most notable point to these crimes that get little to no coverage is in countless cases you have black people saying on camera "we're doing this because you're white" or "I hate white people" etc. and yet under federal law they are not charged with hate crimes.
You're a f'king idiot, you live in a media bubble, television has absolutely nothing to do with reality and of all the scum that comes out of Hollywood what Mtv produces has been the absolute worst for the last 25 years.
You just have no evidence for your argument it's all theory and statistics you won't actually get into explaining because if you did, and I will if you feel the need to continue your race baiting drivel, we then see the criteria used for establishing the numbers is highly deceptive.
Anyone who identifies oneself as a muslim is then equated in the statistics for crimes committed by white people which simply means a lot of black people are included in white criminal statistics.
...White people. Those privileges include, but are not limited to, not worrying about being discriminated against on the basis of race when trying to find employment (people with "black-sounding" names are half as likely to be interviewed vs. the "white-sounding" counterpart), not worrying about housing discrimination because of race, not worrying about going to jail for longer than anyone else for the same crime because of race. The list goes on and on.
I didn't spout any pseudo-intellectual drivel. I provided facts. I didn't bully anyone. I provided facts. I provided tangible evidence. I gave stats in previous comments and referenced where those statistics came from. I guess you missed that. WE HAVE GOOGLE! USE IT!
On class legislation, what is the most affluent racial group in the country? Yes, that makes perfect sense; it's in favor of minorities. Honestly, it would take a book to approach all the fallacies in your argument.
A white woman, Peggy McIntosh, coined the term white privilege, so you're completely wrong in saying that it was made by racist minorities.
You can't make the opposite equivalent because our country has a history of racism against black people...why is that so hard for people to understand? It's basically throwing salt into the ever-healing wound of slavery, segregation, and ongoing discrimination. Think about it.
You have no idea how old I am, and judging by your grammar, I'm not sure you are. You also don't understand the concept of white flight because it began much earlier than the 80s. At the latest, it was in the 1950s on the brink of desegregation. White people fled neighborhoods after a black person moved in because propaganda of decreasing property values plagued the media. The houses were no longer able to sell and the were offered for drastically lower prices, making the fully or predominantly black areas. It had nothing to do with drugs and violence. If it did, you wouldn't live in any neighborhood. According to the Justice Research and Statistics Association and the Bureau of Justice Statistics, white people make up the VAST majority of drug dealers and drug users. That says a little bit more about privilege. You wouldn't have expected that, and most of them weren't convicted of their crimes.
You honestly have no idea how the music industry works. None, whatsoever. You're making all these claims on the assumption that minorities are ruining everything. You're obviously racist...that's basically the definition of racist.
There's just too much nonsense here to refute all at once. I do find it funny how you refer to me as a "brainwashed moron" who's "pandering to a hate movement" after you've literally just insulted me, made racist remarks, didn't read my previous comments, and clearly didn't do the research before making your claims...I simply said that white privilege exists. I didn't insult anyone and I didn't say that anyone should feel guilty. It seems like you're the one who's pandering to a hate movement.
You make all these baseless assumptions of who I am and what I do. I get my news from Al Jazeera, an award-winning outlet for unbiased coverage. No, I'm not being influenced by the media. By the way, most mainstream media alleges that white privilege is a myth, so that makes no sense anyway. No one claimed to hate white people; you said that all by yourself.
Look up Dylann Roof and tell me that white privilege (and supremacy) doesn't exist. And make sure that your next comment makes sense and actually has statistics that are relevant to the nonexistence of white privilege.
Look, just answer me why is that this so called white privilege is directed solely against African Americans? East Asians are only 5% of the population and are in a much better place than whites, so are Jews, Indians are doing great, even the Muslims(who face real discrimination and bias) are doing well. We have the same situation in Europe- black people are the most likely the commit a crime and live on wealthcare. Why is that? Is it a worldwide conspiracy to keep the black peeople down?
USA is still predominantly white so obviously most businesses are white owned, it is normal that racial groups mostly stick to each other, but it didn't keep other groups down. And when we talk white vs black, do you think it would be easy for a white person to become a president of Nigeria? Is there a black privilege in Nigeria or are people simply sticking to their own without being racist or keeping anyone down?
Now, I am not saying that people do not discriminate, but black people are as(if not more)racist as whites or Asians.
You parrot so many intellectually desperate catchphrases I know for fact you are a child.
I've worked professionally in the music industry, you have not.
I've worked professionally in film and television, you have not.
I've studied law both formally and privately, you have not.
I've pulled countless public records going as far as from the library of congress, you have not.
Your arguments are biased, brainless drivel from some idiot who worships the boob tube, reads newspapers and thinks he has all the answers because he imagines them.
You're another common idiot without any formal education or skills.
The record industry is heavily biased and labels will drop people if they fail to fulfill certain public roles that interests teenagers. I've known sessions musicians personally who work with these people and have written their hit songs all while the public lives ignorant very much like your arrogant, mouthy self.
They are in commerce and want to produce their products as cheap as possible and to the largest customer base available. Because rap is a gutter genre that anyone can do and today now more than ever everyone does, it's the cheapest quality product that sees more sales than any other. Music is used to sell the fantasy of fame and fortune that is attainable by anyone.
People shredding on instruments and singing their heart out is well beyond what the average person can achieve even if it's not for money.
Being a boob who pastes samples together and shoots off their mouth rhythmically over it is something anyone can do and in fact, most people today do.
This along with downloading changed the industry dramatically and a lot of once successful labels, this is a fact you can check for yourself captain know it all, went under and filed bankruptcy!
You know absolutely nothing about the music industry at any level and the fact that you have the audacity to challenge me is just a slap in the face.
I've met with producers and other very influential people in the industry and was told repeatedly what was occurring at the highest level.
Nobody was signing rock or metal acts anymore and we can expect the band I won't name to be the last big star for at least a few years. They were all absolutely right because the local culture completely collapsed and even in the mainstream industry they stopped signing rock and metal acts to sell gangster rap and relative music.
You are a moron with a child's perspective in every regard. You don't have any life experience to make the claims you have and I know for fact you are a child by my standards because you aren't old enough to have experienced these events and changes first hand.
I can elaborate further on what I experienced personally and while chaperoning other musicians but you're less than beneath me on this subject and I will not waste my time.
As far as my grammar is concerned your standards lack complete and total foundation outside your delusional mind. Irony is I run 3 different applications that monitor spelling, grammar and punctuation which highlights in yellow a tragic number of mistakes in your posts simply by loading the page.
The sheer fact that someone can be so stupid to believe a slang term can be defined with a date and personality is absolutely ridiculous. Going on public record with a statement parroted from social sources is very common. I've witnessed many phrases of my own land in movies, on the news and in print after posting them liberally online.
My primary screen name is well known on this website as well as several others.
Nobody white who has a clear view of the current situation uses the term "white privilege" or "white entitlement".
Worse yet are the racist, deranged stories I've heard black celebrities create where somehow rich white people and their horrible children eat in the same restaurants as well mannered, poor black people. Yes that's realistic especially when rich white people eat in restaurants and private clubs where their salad costs $20 and a glass of water is 5.
It's more imaginary nonsense fed to the stupid and naive which is exactly what you are.
You may as well have started in about the black lives matter propaganda which is being used to negate the deaths of everyone else.
An issue I've now witnessed first hand where these special interest groups that support this movement very publicly shun white victims and the family of victims pursuing their support.
I could link a dozen examples of this and you would still pretend I'm wrong because this is what know it all children do. You can find these people yourself on the news being interviewed talking about the various organizations that snubbed them after the murder of their child or rape of their wife!
The nature of your arguments are ridiculous.
Challenging my experience with white flight by regarding date.
Clearly you wikipedia too much and sure enough there's my hometown in the Wikipedia article, Cleveland.
White flight in the 80's absolutely peaked.
Even with over 30 years having passed since we escaped I still meet young people talking about being chased out of their neighborhoods due to aggressive, threatening black people.
Kid you live in FANTASYLAND I've hung out in the aftermath with black people in these neighborhoods!
If I were broken down on the side of the road on my own I would be taking a trip in an ambulance or a cop car very soon after.
The scenarios you regard are purely imaginary and disregard crucial facts such as the address of someone applying for a job.
The credit score of someone applying for a job.
The academics of someone applying for a job.
The criminal record of someone applying for a job.
The driving record of someone applying for a job.
The marriage and parental status of someone applying for a job.
I've known white people to lose their jobs for having a suspended license which violated their ethics policy he was contracted to. Recently in fact.
When some idiot like yourself comes in here carrying on and on about discrimination it is purely based on paper and your imagination.
Even your definition of racist is sycophantic proving you're brainwashed.
The reality is if a black man or woman breaks down in an all white neighborhood at 3 A.M. they can safely walk to a store or even knock on a door and use a phone.
If a white man or woman breaks down in a truly all black neighborhood at 3 A.M. they are absolutely doomed.
I've experienced it and the kids that helped me were terrified I was going to get f'kd up if I wasn't out of the neighborhood by sunset. Considering the 6'6 black man covered in sores who was sizing me up when I got near him to use the payphone their concerns that I lacked were for good reasons.
Ultimately what is transpiring today is BLACK PRIVILEGE AND ENTITLEMENT.
The privilege to be racist and get applauded.
The privilege to blame another ethnicity for their actions.
The entitlement to demand special treatment and special laws to provide them unfair opportunities based on a version of history that is purely propagandistic.
A nation where at the peak of slavery all slaves were owned by a mere 1.6% of the population.
This 1.6% was primarily made up of corporations and European nobles.
In other words slaves were owned almost exclusively by the rich or by the corporations they owned.
Absolute fact you can research it through the library of congress.
And you think it's acceptable to highlight black tragedy as racism so more class legislation can be passed??!?
You're a fk'ing moron with your head in the TV who has no idea how the world works.
Class legislation and white flight is the reason if I go to Notre Dame's local branch it's 80% black kids who bully the sh*t out of the white kids in hopes they'll drop out.
I've known people to go through this first hand who do absolutely nothing to these kids and it just doesn't matter.
All of the racism occurring in this country is coming from black people and anyone arguing otherwise is the reason I'm a massive wall of muscle.
You need to get your f'king ass kicked and join reality rather than living in this imaginary world created for you by the boob tube, the internet, magazines, commercial radio...do you even know what the word commerce means?!
Racism is highly profitable.
The only racism that can be sold for profit today is racism against white people.
I can assure you if it were the other way around which obviously we know it once was that would be the racism these people sell.

You're just another retard calling it racism when someone has the guts you lack and speaks up about it. Irony is the number of black people I've heard say many of these things and some sheltered, uncultured idiot like yourself who thinks that's a fallacy.
A black name like Bill Cosby, Eddie Murphy, or Michael Jackson? If you want a middle class job, then you should go for a middle class name. Successful American blacks understand this.
Going to jail longer for the same crime probably has more to do with being able to afford a good lawyer than anything else.
The most affluent group in the country, by ethnicity, is probably people of East Asian ancestry, but you can look it up.
