I never did see an answer to my question about we call a group that only allows admittance based upon being the proper color.
I know this is kind of counter-intuitive, but yeah, that's true. Overall the market gives whites a massive preference. If a white job applicant and a black job applicant apply for exactly the same job with exactly the same resume, the white applicant is a shocking 2.4 times more likely to get called up for an interview. That is a massive, overwhelming, disadvantage blacks face, and advantage whites get, just because of the color of their skin. So, programs designed to give preference to minorities are only a small, inadequate, step to counter balance that. They don't amount to giving blacks an advantage overall, they just amount to dialing the advantage whites are given and the disadvantage blacks are given back a bit. Say maybe without those programs overall whites would be getting called up for interviews 2.5 times as much instead of 2.4 times as much. So, they make the system overall less racially biased, so yeah, whatever the good motives, opposing those programs is supporting the continuation of a racist system.
Not as long as there are scumbags that will spread it and enough morons to buy into it...no.Isn't the 'support this government policy or you're a racist' shtick getting a little old?

In principle I'm fine with the proposal but if you're setting out to propose a Entente Cordiale then you shouldn't spit in my face as you make the offer. You've been trying to return back to me my writing throughout this whole episode and what you've been doing is demonstrating your own lack of comprehension.

it's been old for some time. that's why "THAT'S RACIST" has become a punchline.
odd how people who argue these stats never mention that whites actually do poorly compared to asians. I have yet to see anyone argue that what is needed is some kind of legal system to hold back asian immigrants in favor of native whites based on the asian communities' superior performance. :thinking:
Did you forget to study the history of the Republican Party?Whats amazing is the greatest historical metamorphosis and lie is the transformation of the Democratic Party from the perpetrator of this nation's most racist policies to protector of minorities.
Just ask the average African-American which party Lincoln belonged to, or which party Martin Luther King was a member of, and they'll tell you, almost without fail, that both men were Dems. They'll also tell you that the Republicans led the filibuster against the civil rights bills (actually, I believe that was Robert Byrd...), or who came up with the Jim Crow laws, and they'll tell you, without a single qualm, that it was the Reps.
Un****ingbelievable!
The only evidence of failed education I've seen in this thread is in the the failure of public education to teach Republicans about the history of their party.well, that leads us right back into a discussion on the failed (or, perhaps, given the above information, maybe not failed - just working off a different set of goals) public education system, particularly as it is available to urban minorities.

Wait, what? The history of which party?
Damn those public schools!
LOL. You make me giggle haymarket.
Horse****. Robert Byrd was your missing link. Democrat racist Klan leader...democrat senator. This pretend story about...but really...it just all of a sudden switched over...is just that...a bull**** pretend story and it only works for people stupid enough to buy it and people invested in believing in it.Did you forget to study the history of the Republican Party?
Lincoln's Republican Party is NOT by any stretch of the imagination the Republican Party of today. Moreover, the Democratic Party and Republican Party of the 1960s are NOT at all the Dem and Rep Parties of today - as I've said several times, the constituencies of the parties switched during the civil rights movements with the racist southern Dems moving to the Republican Party. Every time you repeat this myth, you reveal your ignorance. Study your history!

I don't see how we could stop trying to fight racism until equally qualified black and hispanic people have odds of getting jobs at least in the same ballpark as equally qualified white people.
Equally qualified black, hispanic and oriental people have just as much opportunity to get a job as any white person in this country.
They should try that study in the social services field and especially with the federal government.Sadly, that just is not true. In fact, if a white person and a black person apply for exactly the same job with exactly the same resume, the white person is 2.4 times more likely to get called back for an interview. As a whole the system is still overwhelmingly biased against black people and in favor of white people.

I've never had a problem either getting a job, nor making top wages.
That study, like most of those studies, is bull****.
Wages and employment have more to do with attitude and work ethic than race.
