    As expected, there is no such thing as racial oppression.
    It is undefinable non-existent term, but it serves its political purpose very well.
    People are strongly divided so there is no way corporate ruling class can ever fail to be elected.
    It is much more convenient to blame white people for all world's problems instead of calling to account those who are responsible for economic failures.

    Jim crow has the same relevance to the discussion as Spartacus.
    There is absolutely nothing even remotely close in current U.S. legal system that have anything to do with jim crow.
    You hover can continue to spread unspecified and unsupported claims.

    How long ago was that? Definitely before the days of welfare, EBT cards, government housing and Obama phones. Just saying.

    That's not even close to what I said. But ha, whatever your wild imagination wants you to believe, I have no doubt you will believe it.

    We don't have Jim Crow anymore, but the Justice Systems is still racially unequal. That fact has been proven time and time again.

    Please tell me a government program that blacks are using that whites aren't using.

    So state those facts. Like Blacks account for the majority of homicides as well as interracial crime. I'm waiting.

    A law suddenly banning people to put up racist signs, doesn't change a person. Them babyboomers are all over the place. So it's very much relevant. As is shown in the OP. And what a rather bold claim of you to make when you previously were not aware what the criteria is of racist oppression. Statement like that shows you're exceptionally ignorant on the subject.

    - - - Updated - - -

    20 years after WWII. Them babyboomers got raised up with those ideals.

    source? Because you know the OP proves there is.

    It proves correlation not causation.

    Cry me a river, they weren't "forced" to sell them, they CHOSE to sell them. To this day, that same choice is being made. So either we believe in free market principles, or we don't. Black-Americans overwhelmingly are content with the average. The average job, the average neighborhood and yes average education. So what happens when you're content with average? You become average! **gasp**

    The same thing is sniffed out in interview processes, the one guy is more than willing to be a career employee and the other guy doesn't want to go that far.

    The end result is despite the "same qualifications", they are in fact not the same employee. And that is the bottom line in this cruel game called life. I've never gotten a lucky break, once. But I keep pushing.

    The reason is that even today it is many times more difficult for a Black Person to get a Job even when qualified compared to a white person.

    This leads to a sense of hopelessness and thus unless you want to work for minimum wage many blacks...at a much higher percentage than whites are dealing drugs on the low level tier.

    Whites deal as well but the whites are the one's who are the one's doing the money laundering and financing the purchases.

    This does not mean that Blacks should not start taking responsibility for their own actions.

    But the economics are the primary reason along with hundreds of years of social inequality.

    The ignorance of history where newly released slaves were cheated and swindled out of any land grants they received and the anti-black racial prejudice reflected in comments about today's African-Americans in this post is appalling.

    In the study conducted in 2003 the "intelligence" of both black and white applicants was the same. They didn't send "smart whites" and "Stupid N*****s" to apply for jobs.

    Unfortunately opinions based upon anti-black racial prejudice and ignorance perpetuate anti-black racial prejudice and oppression of African-Americans in the United States. This post reflects both ignorance and anti-black racial prejudice and is something one would expect to read on a hate group website like Stormfront.

    Indeed. You first had slavery. People went to war over it to end that. Than there was apartheid, that ended with laws. Than they still had to make laws, affirmative action, to demand equal opportunities, because the white and jews refuse to share. To now still spot that they are discriminating black people on a large scale,.. according to the OP. The excuses are really there, because people still make black people their victims.

    Again, it's neither. It's a fact that white names are getting a privilege on the jobmarket. Not causation, not correlation, a fact. And that white names getting a privilege makes it white privilege.

    I sourced you a list of white and black names.

    Ever hear of affirmative action? It's also called set asides for the unqualified. And money laundering and financing purchases? Really? What are you talking about?

    That's not proof, it's more excuses from left wing excuse machines. Meanwhile have you seen the box scores from Chicago this weekend. Looks like the vast majority of the carnage has once again been caused by African Americans.

    I'll give you credit, the excuses really don't stop. We've now added Jews to the mix. Pretty soon it will be the Hispanics and the Asians. Tell me this. When you run out of people to blame will you point the finger at space aliens?
