    Any study on Republicans/Fox News by extreme left-wing universities don't count.

    They are garbage and biased as hell.

    I don't understand. These are the only two options? Either be a good employee, or live on welfare?

    Jeez... did I just wake up in some kinda worker's paradise or something? Am I still in America, where we're supposed to be enterpreneurs and invent stuff and go from rags to riches?

    Or is that.... like.... not happening anymore?

    You're just using anecdotes, that means nothing when talking about race in society. Have you had to deal with housing discrimination? Being denied a loan because you're black? We confined them into ghettos, denied them well paying jobs and good schools for a very long time. If your grandfather was unable to get a good paying job or a loan to buy a house because of their race, and his grandfather was a slave, do you think you'd be on equal footing with someone who had the stability of a decent job and a decent neighborhood? Now extrapolate the issue and you begin to see what we're talking about. It isn't white guilt, it's reality. I don't feel guilty, but I acknowledge our history and the effect it still has.

    Do you know the difference between the past, the present and the future?

    So, would you support a show where black people talk about their racism, or do you feel like O.J. Simpson's mother? She was quoted as saying, "I can't be racist. I'm black."

    How do you get rid of racism when only one race addresses the issue, and all others ignore their own racism?

    First where in the heck did you get the idea that I disparaged you? Why the defensives

    Fine if you want to declare the path to success is drop out of high school and don't get an education, have kids out of wedlock, abuse drugs and alcohol, get married when you are 17, and be a lousy employee, and engage in criminal activity so be it.

    We will just have to agree to disagree.

    I agree. Things not talked about just harbor confusion.

    I think white guilt is non productive, however it beats white obliviousness hands down.

    Do you think the past is irrelevant? Go look up economic mobility in the US, and tell me that the advantages of your forbearers don't matter.

    There are more poor white people in the country than poor blacks. How do you explain that phenomenon, given your progressive reasoning?

    Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't realize the show was only about Albinos.

    So, I take it that you refuse to admit that blacks are racists. What about Latinos? Asians?

    Must be that the white race is inferior?

    I would think helpful progressives would be willing to help them, if that was the case.

    Typical Alynski "Rules for radicals tactics" "Pick your target. Freeze your target. Polarize your target. Paralyze your target. "
    What is interesting about this, this time, is its similarity to the Nazi propaganda campaign against the Jews, the Judenrat, showing hordes of rats scurrying to and fro and comparing their activities to the Jews This is primarily the result of Teddy Kennedy's efforts in the 60's and 70's to convince the Congress to halt US immigration from the traditional sources of US immigration and instead welcome immigration from other areas of the world that did not share America's Judeo-Christian and Democratic traditions and would be more amenable and receptive to the Democrats policies and voter appeals. Over the years the number of immigrants from these non traditional sources has grown and reached critical mass during the presidency of Hussein Obama and is now busily attempting to tear down the foundations of the American Republic, those very qualities that made America so appealing to immigrants, brick by brick by brick.
    Just one caveat to those on the Left, we will not disappear quietly, noiselessly, peacefully and meekly into the night like the Jews of Europe, 1937-1945

    Might want to look up this thing called "percentages". Black people are disproportionately poorer than whites as a percentage of the population. No one is saying all white people are well off. I should know being from a dirt-poor, white family myself.

    dunno, this thread is about whiteness though and how people feel about their whiteness not about how you feel about blacks and puerto ricans.

    You can't discuss black's place in society without calculating how much of it is due to cultural indoctrination (self caused) and inherent racism (societally caused). And many people won't admit to the former and blame it all on the latter.

    An honest discussion is impossible.
