is racism worse now than ever before?

[Matt504]

what's the racial makeup of your zipcode

decent amount of Blacks but it's predominately white.

Please explain how today's system is worse than a time when we were LITERALLY slaves. You're talking about DeFacto Discrimination as opposed to DeJure slavery, please explain how the former could possibly be worse than the latter

Man get out of here with that,you can twist,overanalyze all you want.I came in here and stated how it is.I simply answered OP's ?,if you dont like it I dont give a damn

y'all even getting too militant for me. :tf:

It's not about being "militant". It's the truth. We barely have any rights in this country. We can't get justice. Vigilantes like Zimmerman and Michael Dunn are killing unarmed black kids and getting away with it. Police are getting away with killing black youth regardless of what type of background they came from.

And I'm sick of the "militant" label. What's wrong with being passionate about helping your own community and wanting to see them do better? If anything, being "militant" is what we should be aiming for. People in society see how much of pushovers we are which is why a cac like Donald Sterling can completely shyt on all of us in an internationally televised interview with no filter or hesitation and corny nikkas want to talk about "praying and forgiveness".

not really, I just keep to myself and stay inside when I'm at home.

it's uncomfortable at times like when I check the mailbox and there's a white person outside who's frightened by the appearance of a tall dark black male with dreadlocks, other than that I'm good.

For some odd reason, anyone that cares about black people is labeled a militant both here and in society; utterly ridiculous; one of the most misused words outside of c00n

I haven't read all the thread comments but threads and black people mindset that even ask this question is ridicolous. White people have enslaved people of African descent( on top of trying to enslave American Indians and other ethnicities) since America's inception(1700s), gave us freedom in 1860's only to apply Jim Crow laws in 1890s, and fight AGAINST civil rights for people of African descent ( and other minorites) till the 1960s.

Racism has always been present in America and will always be present in someway or level in America. More nikkas need to practice racism on a economic level and get with the times that every ethnicity or race practice racism to SOME LEVEL, and truthfully nothing is wrong with with it.......

Were the only race that doesn't......

I hope this part is not dedicated to me because my posts tell you differently; I was born and raised in those communities and I have spent my adult life working in those same communities, so I will pass that bolded part over

As for my argument I will state it again for the fourth time: I argue that racial oppression is not worse or better; it has transformed in method and mechanization based on the political economy and the resistance of the black masses. The question in the OP is not relevant because it does not incorporate the fractures and fissures throughout history that shifted how racial oppression behaves and how race, capital, and class intersected; Black Racial Formation and Transformation Theory provides a perfect sociohistorical context for us to gauge racial capitalist oppression and its connection to the position of the black masses in the political economy.

As for my own oppression, I was born and raised in southwest Atlanta, one of the poorest parts of the city. My parents are working class who worked their ass off everyday just so we could eat; My father and I have both been harassed by police; my mother was spit on numerous times when she was a gilr integrating Atlanta Public Schools system, I watched my community degenerate over the years; I didn't live the oppression, breh; I LIVE it today and everyday for the rest of my life and it is VASTLY different from 100 years ago, but oppression is oppression and that's why I have dedicated my life to fighting it.

I'll dap you and keep it moving,because you arent the problem. But yes oppression is oppression but to act like we face the same problems as the ones before us in my opinion is disrespectful to them. you know they would kill to have some of the rights and freedoms we have. This thread is to black and white, if i say we have it better i dont mean everything is peaches and cream out here. And as fukked up as this may sound, I'll gladly take being pulled over by the cops than have my son taken away from me or my wife raped..
