i disagree

black folks have a stigma that other races dont have and probably never will

i live in alabama tho :manny:

That may be true but you know what else is true? Nobody cares, and black people in america aren't powerful enough to make people care. Can't play the victim role forever and expect to be taken seriously by cacs and ignorant immigrants who have been influenced by cacs :rudy:

What do you mean by this? How do you expect a small and powerless minority to escape their situation on their own? It would be a miracle if Black self-reliance were enough to solve the problems in the Black population. That's not now reality works, here or for people anywhere else. There isn't a single historical precedent for something like this. Black Wall Street was destroyed, Black businesses post-segregation were destroyed by various governmental policies, and Black life is still a target. Black voters still are actively disenfranchised. You seem to be completely ignoring the fact that the odds are actively against Black people, which means isolated Black activity has next to no chance of accomplishing anything, even if it is an essential part of the solution. That's a plain, empirical fact that is backed up by every failed attempt at Black self-improvement in American history. All that "nobody cares" talk is precisely part of the problem- it's the reality of things, but it's also a completely anti-Black mentality.

Look around the college campuses. look in the cities where whites, blacks, and spanish are in the same social economic class. You will see prejudice and racism shared across the board. Get off ya'll soap box. It goes back and forth.

You don't see racism shared.

I've lived in some of the most diverse metro areas... blacks don't just randomly hate, neither do Hispanics. Hispanics hate whites sometimes for the same obvious reason blacks do (more of a defense)... and Hispanics hate blacks and vice versus because of either gang 'turf' or resentment built up overtime from scraping for limited community resources. A few Hispanic ethic groups hate blacks because they want to be down with c@cas. Some blacks hate other blacks because they hate themselves. Many times Asian's hate whatever is being hated at the time.. It goes on and on... However, for the most part racist whites are prejudice from conditioning combine with natural instinct.

If there was no prejudice and people really were blind to color.. There would be more mixed couples and whites would eventually not exist.. so maybe there is some defensiveness in their hate as well.. idk.

Multicultural/multiracial societies do not work. It always ends the same. In bloodshed and war.

The good thing is, we have our own continent with more natural resources than the rest of the world combined. We just need to utilise them.

Build it any they will come.

:what: So what's your solution? Reparations? :rudy:, sorry bruh, not happening. If you expect other groups of people in this country to put black empowerment at the top of their to-do lists you're going to be waiting a long time, unfortunately. Everybody is out for self first and foremost, period. Even a lot latinos, who often grow up in the same neighborhoods as black people, and under the same conditions, with the same struggles, often say racist shyt about them and look at themselves as being "better." What does that tell you? If you admit that "nobody cares" is the reality if things, then you can't argue with it. Every oppressed group has two choices, make moves, or stay on that treadmill. There's no point arguing about black voters being disenfranchised...we know who the vast majority of black voters are supporting anyway :skip: these liberal politician have black voters by the balls - promise them everything, secure their vote, give them nothing. Without fail. It's even more of a joke now that we actually have a black
president. Yeah, your President is black, but your situation is no better. You can keep blaming republicans and racism for all of the problems black america faces, but that's not progress. Don't you think it's time for black america to stop pledging their allegiance to politicians and other groups who don't give a fukk about them and start making a real effort to to take education seriously, pick better role models, save and spend money wisely, etc? That's anti-black? I dunno man, that sounds pro-black to me :manny:

I agree. Indians, Mexicans, and plenty others have that stigma. They try to work to change their issues. We are all about fighting the power. I think we can do better. We are givin the chances. It's a tough row but we are the strongest people.

I feel in my surroundings. Black folks put themselves in a box. When they mess up they blame whitey.

Don't put yourself or your kids in a predicament where your choices will be forcefully limited is what I'm saying.

No, just be very aware of the hate and prejudice unfairly directed towards you so that you can navigate through the social-economic circumstances that affect your life. Don’t be clueless or in denial about the sht.

And for the most part, the average black person doesn’t hate white people. Even those who say sh1t like, I’m tired of these crakers; are mainly speaking in reference to the institutionally racist system that we live in.

The only solution is to change the system of have and have nots.. and to somehow get some whites to not naturally be so discusted others. Two things that may not happen for a while.

see how you frame it? you basically say there's a solution, but it's somewhere way off in future, so might as well not try to improve anything now... :dry:

Bro, I live in the suburbs and I don't even believe that sh*t. There is such thing as institutionalized racism.

There clearly are stigmas and subtle racial undertones towards, black people, especially, young black males. Often, young black males, have to word harder, to erase social stigmas.

Even a lot latinos, who often grow up in the same neighborhoods as black people, and under the same conditions, with the same struggles, often say racist shyt about them and look at themselves as being "better."
:sitdown: Ironically this argument goes both ways.

Your generalizations, are meaningless, not every black person is a high school dropout(heard you were though :heh: ), wanna be thug intentionally using up welfare. :stopitslime:

There's aint sh*t people of all races.

Stop being politically correct fakkits and emo c*nts in here for a second. Are many motherfukkers racist, yes. But...

1. Stop equating prejudices with discrimination or racism. Prejudices can be negative or positive and has to do with usually irrational attitudes and opinions held by one group about another. For example, In general I happen to think Asians are less friendly(one of the questions asked to respondents in the article) but my best friend happens to be Japanese and I love all my other Asian buds and Asians in general and hold no ill will.

2. Hence, all of ya'll are at least somewhat prejudice.

So the pertinent question is are prejudices negative or positive. If negative do they lead to discrimination, racism/hatred (or preferential treatment if positive - that can also be bad). That's why the article is garbage, because it assumes that people who think Asians can't drive are out there denying them driving licenses. Or people who associate more violence with American blacks because of what they see in the media or whatever, won't vote for the black guy or hate black people.

i feel you but it's up to the person to change them. I don't waste time worrying about what white people think. Most of ya'll do it seems. I've seen some blatent things happen but you folks are acting like whites is the only ones to blame. Go walk thru a NYC subway and watch the rachet shyt that is on full display. I ain't white but i wouldn't even mess with them jokers.

Not saying that all of you behave like that but when whites only get to see you in a certain setting and a few is acting out of line..well thats what happens.

Let me ask you this. Whenever you hear of a serial killer, are you not shocked when it's at times a black man? Why? cause we only associate whites with weird and crazy crap. Thats how they are associating us.
