Rasmussen Poll Says Blacks Are More Racist Than Whites [W:358]

Do you agree?

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

So then you admit that black on white racism does exist. If you looked into any inner city gangs, you would see that there is a LOT of racism there, between blacks, Asians, Hispanics, whites, etc.

It didn't say it doesn't. I did say we needed the word defined, and that it likely wasn't the problem the reverse was. As a white male, I never really worry about it at all. I don't. Fear the police, I know I have a good shot at getting any job I apply to, and no one follows me when I walk into a store.

You think those same things don't happen to poor white people who live in poor neighborhoods too?

What? Someone get beaten for being a white kid in a minority-majority neighborhood? Say it ain't so!?!

Oh. Wait. That's actually fairly typical.
 
whatever you say. Your posts do tend to excuse black racism though

Which, ironically, indicates that he may actually be an insecure white person. Secure white persons rarely suffer from white guilt or the associated need to excuse others' misbehavior phenomena.

DId you ever read Dinesh D'Souza's THE END OF RACISM

this dark skinned conservative Indian American noted that many actions towards blacks is not based on racism but rather rational choices. For example, cabbies in NY are loathe to pick up younger black males-even black cabbies because almost every murder or armed robbery of a cab driver has been perpetrated by younger black males

why do you think a black is more likely to be followed in a store than say a college professor? same reason why when I used to walk alone through central park I would have my pistol ready when I saw a group of black males but not when I saw 5-6 Hasidic Jews of the same age.

As I was a poor white, no not as often. Not nearly as often.

I didn't even live in such a neighborhood growing up, but MOST of my white male friends as teenagers were harassed by the police too, some on a fairly regular basis.
 
You're just being emotional again. Try to focus on the points made.

do you think such a silly charge actually helps your position? The emotional side of most arguments is that of the liberal

So, you think one book, by one person, settles all issues?


You should read all of this:

My first victim was a woman-white, well dressed, probably in her early twenties. I came upon her late one evening on a deserted street in Hyde Park, a relatively affluent neighborhood in an otherwise mean, impoverished section of Chicago. As I swung onto the avenue behind her, there seemed to be a discreet, uninflammatory distance between us. Not so. She cast back a worried glance. To her, the youngish black man-a broad six feet two inches with a beard and billowing hair, both hands shoved into the pockets of a bulky military jacket-seemed menacingly close. After a few more quick glimpses, she picked up her pace and was soon running in earnest. Within seconds she disappeared into a cross street.

I just want you to take a breath and address actual points. ;)

But not the same way. It shows a lack of understanding to not see the difference.

Have you ever watched an episode of Cops? Ever see the black guy standing on the corner dealing crack, the cops see him, he sees them, he runs, they chase. They catch him and find crack in his pocket. He says "but officer these are not my pants!" The cops are like yeah right. The black guy starts crying about racism.

We could also examine many other instances where there are many FALSE accusations of racism, police brutality, etc.

LOL that is an emotional response to what I am saying. the fact is, blacks can be racists

the difference to you is that blacks are oppressed I suppose

what came first-cops hassling blacks or blacks being far more likely to be mopes

I've seen it, and the show helps give the wrong impression. Many are innocent, but not on cops.

You do realize I haven't said they can't. Do you read what I write?

I find it interesting that he lists examples of people engaging in rational risk-avoidance, and you answer by seemingly posting the same.

No. The attitude is different all too often. Teens, white teens, often feel free to talk back, be indignant, and maybe threaten to call mom and Dad. Black teens know better. And for good reason.

How about The First 48. Ever watch that show? I suppose all of those black detectives are racists too?

Thats why I said he should read the entire thing. He might make the same mistake you just did.

How sad. This doesn't even make sense and in no way addresses the question that was posed.

It really isn't.
