She where to find it. I answered. We also have a manger up here who refused to hire an experienced African American, but hired an unqualified high school student. At our Walmart, a manger said he quit before he hired a woman. Speaking of Walmart, didn't they have to settle a suit fir just that. We can link many examples if you care to dispute this.

Exactly because it's ILLEGAL. Which means it is not "sanctioned" by any institutions.
 
say what? the fact is black racism is far more acceptable with the press and the urban elites than white racism. I remember a few years ago, there were 50 cases of white men raping black women, over 1000 of the reverse. Yet the press never reported that.

How racially motivated of a crime is rape?

Go into a restaurant like a TGIF or a Ruby Tuesdays. I used to eat almost every day in one when I was single and I was dating a server. I rarely saw white patrons abuse a black server or stiff a black server. Even black servers didn't want to wait on black patrons. One night I was sitting at the bar waiting for my girlfriend to get off the floor. The best server was in the shift leader's station-normally the station where you had the most business. 15 black college students came in. They sat for three hours and were joking about how they could run this girl around. She'd ask if anyone wanted a refill and one would say yes the minute she came back, another would. They left her a dollar on a 100 dollar bill after clogging her station up from 7-10 on a saturday night. I see that stuff all the time. its racism pure and simple.

Yes I'm sure this is a widespread problem. A huge problem among 2-star steakhouses.

Again it depends on how you define racism. Prejudice, while sad, often lacks the power to harm. As some define racism, that is when you have that power. When you can deny employment, housing, access due to nothing more than race. That kind of power largely resides with whites.

Your example is largely just jerks, some young white jerks have done as well.
 
Not irrelevant. Your example is the minority experience today. Today, right now, whites discriminate far more often, and with the power to actually effect lives.

Yes, historical racism is irrelevant to measuring racism as it currently expresses itself - just as the population of 1907 is irrelevant when we are conducting a census. And whites no longer have the power of the state to express racism - making our power to be racist equal to everyone else's.

if you abuse someone due to their race that is racism whether you are rich or poor, powerful or weak. I tire of liberal whites excusing black racism or criminal behavior by claiming they don't have institutional power.

I have applied to my local police department twice.

Was top of the class on the physical fitness test and scored 98% on the written test.

Have over five years experience as a special agent on investigative status with the military and have a bachelors degree in psychology.

I did not get hired. After the fact I found out they hired several kids straight out of high school.

They clearly had a personal bias, whether that was anti military, or they wanted to hire billy bob because they know his daddy.

I don't jump to conclusions and assume it was racism.

Thank you. That's the point exactly. :)

:shrug: depends on the rape.

Yes I'm sure this is a widespread problem. A huge problem among 2-star steakhouses.

:shrug: I did two years at a family owned italian restaraunt, two years at an Outback, and another year and a half or so at a pretty expensive Brazilian steakhouse. The experience between serving black and non-black tables was pretty much universal. Waiting staff's code-word is "Canadians", and a table full of "Canadian" women or (as TD points out) kids is usually considered to be the worst table to be given - you are going to get your butt run off, quite possibly verbally abused, and then you're not going to get tipped.

The next worst demographic (being fair) was the church crowd. Sunday Lunch is the worst overall meal time for tips. People put money in the plate at church, I suppose, and figure they have "already been generous for one day" :roll:

Unless you consider Walmart an institution. The point is, the power is exercised.

You're skipping the point again.

You have to have the power to abuse. Talking **** doesn't qualify. Nor does doing what many young people do regardless of race.

Nor should you. But if it happened to you over and over again, and always a less qualified person of the dominate race got the job, don't pretend you wouldn't notice it.
 
You're skipping the point again.


The point being that you don't like the poll and so you wish to redefine the question in such a way that you can hope for a more politically correct answer? You're the one relying on historical racism and "well what about some random town in the South" data, here. The best man at my wedding is (was) a teacher in one of those random towns in the south. You don't find many male teachers in high school english / history that can get 9th and 10th grade minority kids in low-income households to willingly read, but he did because he's awesome. Then he got fired, but the black lady who teaches in the classroom next door who tells the kids to just do whatever is in the book and then reads magazines all day? Somehow she still has a job.... as do all the other black teachers... but all the white teachers... not so much... :thinking

No, the poll mistakenly doesn't define the word, leaving it too open ended. That makes it a poor poll.

And I've note that I can link data if you doubt.

So if a bunch of black youths beat up on a white person because he's white, that's not racism? :roll:

of course it is.

Likely. Just as it is when a bunch of whites beat up on a black person.
