The blacks are 100% responsible for their problems !

Where's your evidence any of that would work to close the racial achievement gap?

 

If that were true no black person would have ever escaped slavery, let alone got a job to begin with.

On the subject of racial bias, I would suggest that every race does that, to some degree.

 

Sure It's on them. It is not because of their skin color though. It's because they are asses. No different than white criminals. They don't do what they because they're white. People do not commit crime because of their skin color.

 

But you're not racist...right?

 

The Jews weren't mainly enslaved to other races until 1850? That seems a good deal more than minor difference in their backgrounds to me.

Jews, Irish, everyone else WANTED to come here and brought their stable family structures with them. Blacks were uprooted and sent here as prisoners and then kept as slaves for hundreds of years, with stable family structures being specifically forbidden to them as such made them less tractable as slaves who could be sold out of their families at any time

 

But, Blacks in Africa are actually doing worse in terms of IQ, and wealth, and most Blacks in Africa weren't enslaved.

Ten Reasons Why Reparations for Blacks is a Bad Idea for Blacks - and Racist Too - I'm not into this archaic concept of "the sins of my father." I am a white female and in no way, shape or form, feel any responsibility of what happened before I was born. That whole concept is used by the PC democrats as some sort of brainless leverage against people. They want you to feel responsible for crimes that you have absolutely no hand in. That is so much bull manure, I can not adequately describe why, without violating some of the rules here. Suffice to say, making up lying excuses to lay a guilt trip on white people, is dangerous to all US citizens.

 

Africa was totally destroyed by the colonial powers. Read some history

 

Ethiopia, and Liberia weren't colonized, and they're poor by African standards.

Ireland was colonized for 400 years, and Finland 700 years, and they're rich by European standards.

Some thing just doesn't add up.

 

Hong Kong was also colonized.

Another reason why I would rather be Asian than White or Black.

 

We disagree

Other peoples worked their way out of similar regards.
When the Vietnamese first came to Orange County, California
they faced hurdles and created "Little Saigon" in Garden Grove.
Only Black people seem incapable of boot strapping themselves beyond others fixation.

Meanwhile, no one notices the s that walk among us.​

 

Troll troll troll your boat........

 

"Seem" is the key word. The propaganda machine in this country is awful and that includes the education system. Everything teaches people in a manner that suggests that "black" people never owned or built anything in this country for themselves. No one knows about eminent domain and how it destroyed black communities, no one knows about redlining, no one knows about the schemes that are supposed to help people, but undermine them. So, because I have a bit more information on things, my point of view is different from much of what is expressed on this board.

No one notices the Canadians because apparently they can blend right in.

 

Slaves were freed by people that most likely never saw a black person face to face. Black people were generally excluded before corporations were forced to hire them except where labor was in short supply.

 

we shipped in tens of millions of white workers, many of whom didn't speak a word of English, rather than hiring millions of black workers.

they weren't able to get all the entry-level manufacturing jobs that brought most Euro immigrants into the middle class

 

You're right, it's the black community's fault that white imperialist capitalism and neo-feudalism ripped them from their homes and forced them into slavery. You're right, it's the black community's fault that nationalist, racist (*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)s like you are still constantly pushing them down. Japan also received hundreds of millions of dollars in aid to help them rebuild after the war. The exact same war that African-American men dedicated their lives to in bringing down the fascism that was overtaking the world; the same sort of ideology that your racist remarks align with. Germany has received countless dollars in international aid in the post-WWII era. The difference between Japan and Germany and the black population of the United States is that we're not still bombing Japan and Germany, yet racist pieces of (*)(*)(*)(*) like yourself are still pushing down and attacking the black population.

 

You Lose…

 

Well no. Completely irrelevant since I'm Australian, but I still could have said we progressives are nice people, free early childhood and education through to high school graduation works pretty well here and we don't shoot each other because we have gun controls.

 

Okay, but don't inner city residents have resources from an organized government?

I'm not disputing not comparing them to another country. I'm trying to understand what exactly is lacking in the inner cities when all Americans have access to resources in this country.
I'm not asking in a critical, racist way...what holds them back? Do individuals not have any part to play in their situation?

Before you jump on me, I have family members that I have the same conversations with. They had the same opportunities (same parents actually lol) but CHOSE to quit school and start having babies as teenagers. Now they think they are victims and every one owes them. Sadly, the kids of these family members quit school and are following in the footsteps of the parents.
I hold them responsible because of their choices.

 

white murder victims account for 6% of all murder victims in NYC.

whites make up 44.6% of NYC.

NYC has a white population of around 3,787,021.

that means a 3 out of every 378,000

or about .7 per 100,000.

so, kinda close to 1 out of a million chance of getting murdered.

 

Uh, that is not how you would calculate the probability of being white and getting murdered by the police in NYC. Regardless, simply by looking at raw data you can see how you are miles away from that "1 in a billion" figure you essentially pulled out of your ass.

But keep in mind, these are figures from the last 15 years. If it's that miniscule for whites, why would you think its any different for blacks?

 

No. I stated very clearly that people do not commit crimes because of their race. People commit crimes because they are criminals. White, black, Asian, etc. I was saying criminals are asses. Get it?

 

I'm sorry for you then. You can rise above your hatred for others. You just have to try. And change your mindset.

 

s often spell with an extra "u" and no one cares. Eh?​

Other communities mainstream within a generation or three. Asians, Latinos, Jews, Italians, etc.
When UCLA professor Ron Karenga created Black Culture and Kwanzaa too
he specifically avoided the American Middle Class experience for something,
more Black. Look how well that worked out!
I heard and remember him saying that in an interview.

American Black Culture is Pathological. Of that we cannot doubt.
Crime worshiping and berating women. Black Lives Do NOT Matter in Black n'hoods!
The cure needs to come from within Black culture. Not Liberals.
Black Culture needs to promote Middle Class Mainstreaming and its' tools.
Education. Better Job. Better N'hood. Better Schools. Savings acct. and on it goes

Affirmative Action should be available to poor people without regard for color. ​

I am a recovered Liberal, if any Liberal can truly be termed "recovered".
Half a Century of various race based affirmative action programs has not dented the problem of Black Neighborhoods, their crime rate, and the absence of employment opportunities where Black people chose to live. There remains an attitude or "ripping off White Man's society" and the highest racism of any group when one considers Black peoples' attitudes when it comes to, Black vs Not Black.

What part don't I have correct?

Time for Black Culture to Boot Strap then

Not Black may not feel as they do when confronted by a Black person.
How should they feel? This person is more likely a criminal, a hooligan. ​

 

Being white didn't stop a lot of bad things from happening to me as a child.
Like most things, all situations are different.
