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

Do you agree?


  • Total voters

It's not as if Will
Smith or Ben Carson were to sit next to the average White American, that they would move because of racism.

It is a specific group within the race. The counter culture that live their lives and glorify a culture that is not conducive to success.

I think we have all seen the undercover shows where they send the "Thuggish" looking African American onto a bus, and even the other African Americans grip their purses a little tighter and take on a more defensive posture.

It is not the color of their skin but the image they present.

You think people don't do the same when their around Hells Angels or a group of Wannabe Nazis?

What's so surprising about that. Blacks have an INDISPUTABLY OBVIOUS exhorbitantly high rate in Crime and lack of Intellectual Accomplishment whatever the reasons...... which can't be explained away because of the so-called unreasonable reaction regarding the non-blacks' perception of Africa's lack of any Intellectual accomplishment.

Not ALL, but the majority of the blacks are treated like Hells Angels and Wannabe Nazis because without any prior knowledge of them, on the average, they have this extremely high criminality and lack of intellectual accomplishment.
 
Ever met a black person who felt that his race was genetically superior to all others?
No?
When you realize that is what it would take to make a "black racist" the absurdity of this poll comes to light.
Most respondents don't even know what the word racist means.
 
Ever met a black person who felt that his race was genetically superior to all others?
No?

Yes. In fact, it's one of the foundational teachings of the NOI
 
Historical Recency none of the African nations had a written language...

Ah, I see you've never heard of hieroglyphics, then. :lol:

The point I'm making is that you are just making **** up. Seriously. You don't have a clue what you are talking about if you think that there were no written languages in Africa until recently. The Ge'ez script has existed since around the 5th or 6th century BC (although the earliest known forms of Ethiopian Semitic scripts began appearing in the 9th century BC). It's still used in Ethiopia and elsewhere today, because although the Ge'ez language is itself extinct, there are several languages that have adopted the script in some way.
 
Lets say slavery never happened....
Do they have more opportunities now than they would have if they had never left Africa?

The problem most have with the "disadvantage" of being African American is that there is no metric by which it will stop being a disadvantage.

Despite only making up 13 % of our population they have risen to the highest ranks of our government, our economy ( there are African American CEOs), they dominate the entertainment industry and sports.

Despite these supposed disadvantages African Americans rise up from poverty all over this country to the middle class and even the upperclass.

There will never been an acknowledgement of this from those that stand to gain politically from this however.

You know I use to believe that it was just the "Thuggish" looking side of my people until I got into corporate America. I can come to work in a polo shirt and some Khakis and still see women cringe when they get on a elevator by them self with me. I don't think that they try to be that way, but I think it is a embedded uncomfortable feeling about black men that some can't shake. Like we are going to rape you and your daughters.

I have notice that the lighter we are, the safer many feel as well.

I think there are certainly people out there that feel that way but I don't think it is an accurate assessment of "White America" as a whole.

I was born and raised in Alabama. Maybe it's because I was raised in a political family or the military, that I have never felt that way. I have been to places where I was the only white man there and it seemed like they felt more awkward about it than I did.

My roommate and I actually witnessed an actual incident of racism the other day.

We were at the foodcourt at the mall at the Habachi Grill waiting in line.
The manager was an outgoing professional African American. He was helping out the grill guy and asked one of the other guys in line ( who was sitting at the table and not paying attention ) if he wanted mushrooms, he said it three times and the guy didn't respond. Then I yelled it at him and he said something about if they spoke English he would have understood them. They were all speaking clear English with no accent and he just assumed they were Asian because of where they worked (his wife was being a bitch too) at this point my roommate and I told him to STFU.

Even in Alabama we have a low tolerance for this behavior and I have noticed that those who do it are ignorant or simply douche bags in general.


When I see successful African Americans it makes me happy. I want everyone to be successful, however when I see someone acting in a way that impedes their success and then complain how they don't get a fair chance Iy makes me mad.


It's like my younger sister used to purposely dress in baggy pants with chains hanging off, freakishly colored hair and facial piercings and complain how people looked at her or how she couldn't get a job.

You can't change your skin color but you can certainly change how you present yourself to others.
 
In America? I don't know. I just know a lot of anti-black racism still exists among whites and not few of them get angry when you point that out, pretending that's "playing the race card", because in some (white) circles, it's apparently politically incorrect to point out that anti-black racism still exists to some extent.

In Germany? I'd say a certain kind of racism/ethnic animosity exists about equally among white natives and immigrant minorities (mostly Turkish people, but also some "Afro-Germans"). Went to school with two guys with African fathers, and three students with one or two Korean parents, and they were 100% German and I didn't notice any difference to people with a different ethnic background. Was never a question in our school.

In different places, I met Germans who'd spew racist/xenophobic opinions, as well as Turkish immigrants who made similar remarks about "gay German potatos".
 
That's total nonsense.

There is no affermative action in elections, a blac person is one person one vote, and so is a white person. But what DOES happen in elections is jerry mandering to make sure a black persons vote counts less, or making sure it's harder for the urban pooor to vote.

As for a s corporate employment, I can find statistics if you want.

Here is my post, and your response above:
MY POST:RESPONSE:
RGacky 3, Your conclusion might have been valid some 70 years ago, but since the overwhelming affect of Affirmative Actions policies coming into fruition, the blacks have an OUTRAGEOUS advantage over whites, or even non-blacks in ALL the spheres where RACIAL ISSUES are involved. To conclude otherwise is simply BIZZARE. Check out ANY local, state, or National election that contradicts me......or any corporation employment at any level.

I never claimed there was Affirmative Action in elections, you are twisting things to suit your agenda. When I referred to black advantage over white in pointing to elections I am referring to the fact that usually 90-95% of the blacks being racist invariably vote for the black candidate, whereas as the non-blacks have the Dem Party and the Bleeding Hearts that usually vote for the black candidate.

Corporate Employment is OVERWHELMINGLY tilted toward black preference providing if the few blacks that have even a MODICUM of knowledge or/and ability to qualify.....that is Affirmative Action in full bloom. To wit: if you are a black engineer even with just a smidge of knowledge you would MOST DEFINITELY GET THE JOB, whereas if you were an EXCELLENT non-black engineer you MIGHT get that same job. And that's a Fact, Jack ....and any of your bovinepoop isn't going to change that OBVIOUS fact.

As far as jerrymandering is concerned: Dem Jerrymandering has an OVERWHELMING edge over Republican efforts and I challenge you to prove otherwise.

Ge'ez SHMGe'ez !!! Practically ALL, if not ALL, the African countries use English or French as their WRITTEN Language. You are accusing me of making all this "****" up ?!?!?It sounds as if it is YOU that just landed from another planet !!!

And what about the African Continent's INTELLECTUAL ACCOMPLISHMENTS ?!?!?

Care to elaborate on that ?!?!?

You're one of those geniuses who thinks Egypt is in Europe or Asia, aren't you?
 
the following three things are most likely to cause you to be in poverty

1) having children before you are married

2) dropping out of high school

3) engaging in criminal behavior

how does "racism" have anything to do with the first two? I can understand why some will claim economic oppression causes many blacks to turn to drug dealing (See Michelle Alexander's The New Jim Crow) but the fact that over 75% of black children are born out of marriage is not "whitey's fault"

4) Being born into poverty
5) living in a country with a bad economy
6) Not being able to afford higher education
7) growing up in a ghetto
8) Tons of other systemic issues.

what OUTRAGEOUS advantage ... give me a specific example.

elections are 1 person one vote, how do black people have an advantage in elections. As for corporate employment are you saying blacks are dispreportinately represented in corporate leadership? Evidence?

Where did you get this 90-95% of blacks voting for blacks? Evidence? Also how is that affermative action if it were true? It isn't true. Also where is the evidence that liberals will just vote for the black canditate?

Evidence about corporate affermative action?

Herer is you're evidence about jerrymandering Redistricting didn’t win Republicans the House

if the same election in 2012 was done with the old districting republicans wouldn't have won the house, they needed to jerrymander it.

How about New Haven,
Connecticut Fire Department. No African Americans score high enough on the exam to qualify for promotion so they threw the whole exam out and promoted no one.

African Americans are over represented in the federal jobs workforce. That seems like an advantage to me.

African Americans voted 95% for the African American candidate in the 2008 presidential election.

It seems there is certainly an advantage when it comes to support within their own race.
 
You're one of those geniuses who thinks Egypt is in Europe or Asia, aren't you?

Perhaps you are STILL unaware of the fact that we are focusing on blacks, and black Americans in particular.

Your comment indicates that you don't know the distinction between BLACKS in the African continent, and ARABS.

You know that there is a difference doncha ?!?!?

Where'd you get that stupid idea from? Your false comment about written African languages not existing until recently (despite tons of readily available evidence to prove otherwise)?

Do you know what the "African continent" and "Africa" are? I ask because when you ask a question that uses those terms, it's reasonable to be consistent in tehir use.

I mean, if we were talking about black people or black Americans, I'd be talking about Neil deGrasse Tyson or George Washington Carver, not Egypt or Ethiopian languages. Only a total retard would mix the two up.

Your comment indicates that you don't know the distinction between BLACKS in the African continent, and ARABS.

You know the ethnicity/race of the Ancient Egyptians for certain?!?!? You could become a famous historian/anthropologist if you share it with the rest of the world! wait a minute, you're the guy who said there were no written languages in Africa until "historical recency" so you obviously don't have a ****ing clue about the subject.

Silly me, I almost assumed you weren't oblivious. :lol:

Completely and utterly false. The main beneficiaries of AA are WHITE WOMEN.

"According to the United States Labor Department, the primary beneficiaries of affirmative action are white women." (Who are the Intended Beneficiaries of Affirmative Action? [NC State University Affirmative Action in Employment Training])

"All economic indicators, higher education admissions’ practices, and corporate and law firm figures show that when it comes to leveling the playing field in the past 30 years, white women—not black men, black women or other persons of color—have gained the most ground." (Who wins out when it comes to affirmative action?)

"But study after study shows that affirmative action helps white women as much or even more than it helps men and women of color." (Sally Kohn: Affirmative Action Helps White Women More Than Others | TIME.com)

I agree that a sentient reader will be able to see that you asked "And what about the African Continent's INTELLECTUAL ACCOMPLISHMENTS ?!?!?" and then said "Perhaps you are STILL unaware of the fact that we are focusing on blacks, and black Americans in particular." when you were informed that Egypt is on the African continent.

I know, being beaten about the head by reality is so gay/lib.

For you to use the usual gay/lib type of 1/2-Truths and obvious obfuscations is similar to my encounter with others of your persuasion.

And, my response to you types is the same: I stated the facts. Let the sentient determine who is distorting or obfuscating the TRUTH.
