What about affirmative action?
Blacks can get into elite institutions with lower (more than a standard deviation in many instances) SAT and GPA scores than whites and Asians. Do Asian-Americans Face Bias in Admissions at Elite Colleges? - NYTimes.com

The same way i always felt that anybody who wants a position in the justice system should spend a day in a jail cell before they have the authority to put somebody there, is the same way i think that anybody who wants to seriously have an opinion on race relations should experience being the only whiteboy in a room of 100 black people. People always want to tell others what they are supposed to be like, but nobody experiences what its like in the persons shoes you're giving advice to. Its like a marriage counselor who's never been married. A drug counselor who's never done drugs.
If you're white and never interacted in a crowd where you the only whiteboy, then u don't know shyt! if u black and never been in a crowd of only white people when u the only black dude there, u dont know shyt. These are real life situations that too many people speak on with no experience. If more people had these experiences, there would be more understanding amongst each other.

i don't think its just class at play here
Amerikkka has a long history of racism
its a cultural/race thing
you can take a place with extremely poor whites (appalachian mountains or any random trailer park even) and they will not have tha same crime rates/homicides as a urban black neighborhood
young black on black male homicides are higher than any other race in tha United Snakes.... why is that?
its become black amerikkkan culture.....but how wuz it formed? roots of slavery
amerikkkan culture in general wuz founded by poor/reject whites that wanted to break off from england, they were looked down upon as classless hillbillies and rednecks, they brought over slaves from africa, they ingrained their classless culture into them
then segregated and redlined black communities with so called "seperate but equal" but it wuz not really equal, subpar schools teaching a subpar education, denying loans, enacting a system of government dependency (welfare), CIA admitting to funneling crack into tha inner city
i remember reading a statistic that sometime after slavery, there wuz a period where blacks were economically more well off than whites
thats when all these other laws were enacted and tha black community deteriorated, crack wuz just icing on tha cake.....
tha effects of all this is STILL FELT in tha black communities today....it is finally starting to somewhat improve as blacks move up tha economic latter and integrate into tha suburbs....

i say it all the time...blacks have to make it through hell first just to get to the start line. other races looking at us like
"lazy azz nikkas" like they could survive growing up in similar circumstances.

i think it has a lot more to do with class than color of skin
growing up where i did , i saw all types of color people hustlin' to get out of where they were, stealing ish from walmart and then bringing it back in for a refund for a place to sleep, that type of desperation breeds violence, theft and other ish to try and get ahead by any means necessary
the issue with the perceived gang mentality (need to associate to even survive/live) is however something that the trailer park in arkansas doesnt have, that right there is a major obstacle to overcome right off the jump, like someone else said, gotta go through hell just to get to the starting line
i try and be optimistic though, racism still exists, it always will, its more hidden nowadays but its there nonetheless, but it's not just _about_ race, that's part of it, but not the whole part anymore, that being said the line from boyz n da hood from trey's dad furious, comes to mind, "why is there a liquor store and gun store on every corner in the black community, because they want us to kill ourselves thats why.."

Every other race came over here, assimilated to white people standards and shytted on black natives to cover their own ass. Do you really think it's a coincidence that Native Americans and Black people descended from American slaves have so many issues, breh? Apparently, inceptions into an environment means nothing. But you're Afro-Latino so I'm not surprised at that type of statement coming from you.

all i'm reading are excuses. there's nothing difficult about not being a knucklehead. stick to your studies in school. don't commit crime. don't rob and steal. what's hard about that?? basically, don't be a c00n. too many blacks want to act like c00ns. the blacks who don't act like a c00n are the ones who succeed. the ones who do act like c00ns are the ones stuck in the ghetto.

The premise of the thread is spot on but I always felt that living up to my own standards is more important than living up to someone else. You only can control what you control. Everything after is meaningless to a degree. I'm not going to give the European credit in saying I have to do more just be on their even playing field.
Native Americans and the so called Black people are synonymous. We have to stop disassociating the two. Fact still remain there was an African presence in the Americas/Amexem before the European conquered it. To be honest fam, I wouldn't even responded to dudes ignorance. He's the type of the dude that will dye his hair blonde thinking he's one of the them only still being good enough to mow their lawn. And he will continue to smile in their faces like nothing is wrong.

That's a bit backwards there. Black people who succeed c00n all the time. I mean, look at the average black politician.

every black man and woman in my life who sticked to the books and didn't act like a knucklehead in school ended up succeeding. everyone who wanted to be cool and sell drugs and commit crime ended up a loser in life. what's difficult to understand? when you're young, play your videogames and do your homework. is that really hard? my parents had a library of books for me to read. they bought me computers so i was technically inclined. they enrolled me into summer camp and other shyt. basically, too many black people want to make excuses for their failure. and when they end up being ignorant, they want to blame white people instead of looking in the mirror. there is PLENTY of shyt to blame on white people.
but the ignorance of black people in the ghetto isn't one of them. that's on them.

In fact, majority that you see in music, entertainment, business are actual c00ns. The major problem is the miseducation. You may have the educated ones that live amongst their own but act like they don't exist. They don't offer anything to the community that could benefit others. They don't see them the same as they do the European. They've been taught to condemn their own instead of condemning the system that has for hundreds of years made our ppl chattel. The individuals that have no sense of self, self hatred and feels alienated from the rest of the world will tend to lead on the negative side. Root cause of that is what scares me. When you open up that conversation everyone leaves the room including that educated brotha or sista with that degree you speak of.
what kind of the books if you don't mind me asking?
