Black unemployment: Highest in 27 years

AdamT said:
Seriously? Is that what you meant when you said you had debunked this particular study? :lol:

Obviously the study wouldn't have proven anything if they hadn't picked names that easily identified people as blacks; that was the whole point!

You leave unaddressed why it is that you think that black accountants are discriminating against people with "black names."

I find this quite entertaining. I am currently a college student. Also To Be A Slave is not a children's book. Would a children's book include graphic descriptions of slaves getting lashed? No, it would not.

Now please, tell me how the fugitive slave laws were not meant to harm black people?

Also, please tell me how slavery did not exist for 200 years?

EDIT: Explain to me adpst, why do you deny your own history?

Its time for you to be truly honest.

200 years....deny your own history.

Move forward, dude. The average American who wants to achieve better things for his family, through his own hard work and accomplishments.
Someone who wants nothing more than for government to get the **** out of his way and allow him to succeed or fail, on his own accord.

Being an American is about life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Not, having government tell him what job to do, not having the government tell him where to live or that he has too many cars. Not the government that tells him that because he succeeds, that someone else has to suffer.

It has nothing to do with me being stuck in the past. I am just challenging him because he is denying what is widely regarded in all circles, no matter the race/ethnicity, as a fact.

Of course it is with the idea of sucking off that welfare tit and that they will never get off of it.

Challenging him because of that? lol apdst seems to me is beyond that bull****

apdst represents HOPE - not the hope of the entitlement class for a future brought about by big ass government, pie-in-the sky social welfare programs, but rather, the hope of black hard-working Americans making progress in their own lives, by virtue of their own hard work, and the hope that their progress remains unhindered by the hand of big government dipping into their pockets, redistributing their earnings to those who aren't motivated to work for their living.

apdst represents CHANGE - not the horse**** change that comes when Liberalism is permitted to infuse itself into our way of life one lie at a time, but instead, the change that honest, patriotic Americans can effect in their own lives through their commitment to the ideals that made this nation strong; like self-reliance, and personal responsibility and accountability, and being able to make change in their own lives, to work hard and achieve whatever goals they set for themselves

Actually adpst represents black people who deny their own history. That's quiet disturbing.

Also, when you say "it is with the idea of sucking off that welfare tit and that they will never get off of it," are you implying or saying that all black people are on welfare?

If adpst represents black people who deny their own history, then maybe more should.

adpst seems to be above and beyond whining about racism and allowing his racial history to slow him down.

Mr. Divisible - Its called 'The Land of Opportunity' for a good reason -its fair game for anyone. The more segments of society are enable to hide behind excuses and given monthly FAIL checks, the longer the financial opiates will enslave that group of people. -But if you need thier vote to stay in power, or grab power, well, then I guess its justified.

And another thing....

To those who have much through hard work and insight -much should be learned. The rich may owe the country something in philosophical terms, or even reasonable tax brackets, but they owe the poor absolutely nothing. Not a dime. Should they decide to give it -fine, and how very honorable of them to do so. But to say that because a man, or woman, through whatever good grace and the sweat of his brow -and the brow of his employees and accountants- has made a fortune of some size, now owes someone some pittance or hand-out, for no other reason than they are needy, and the Government wants to control wealth -is assinine.


Peace out

By evidence of his writing it appears that adpst is forming his own identity, so his "own history" likely doesn't perfectly overlap with the history of black in the US. I can understand why YOU find it disturbing because you seem to embrace that group identity. There are some blacks who don't want to be seen as anything but "American."

There is an old parable about a bunch of crabs in a bucket and one starts to climb out in order to find freedom. Rather than cheering on this daring crab the other crabs pull him back into the bucket. Their own sense of identity cannot stand the thought of others rejecting how they see themselves.

There are Jews in America who are descended from people who survived the Holocaust. Some of those Jews dwell on that part of their history and others don't think it's relevant to their lives or to their own identity and live their lives as though the Holocaust was NOT part of their history.

There are Armenians in America who are descend from people who survived the Armenian Holocaust. . . . . .

You get the idea.

Do some research on, the airmen and the 442d RCT (WWII)

The segregation and discrimination that existed in the US military during WWII truly was egregious. Blackmen who persevered to overcome it and fight exceptionally well despite how our country treated them (and theirs back home) so poorly

Would YOU be able to overlook discrimination and serve your country the way they did??? Do you find their dedication hard to comprehend???

Just what makes a man to go above and beyond?

He "seems" to be ignorant of history?? If you are going to make a charge like this you should point out where this "ignorance" lies.

You should at least have the courage to address Apst personally.

No, I represent black people who know the actual facts of our own history and don't buy into the revisionist bull**** that Libbos try to tell us.

Actually you flat-out misrepresented history by denying that this country had institutionalized racism for nearly 200 years.

U.S. units during WW2 weren't segregated by race, because there were American Indians, Hispanics and Whites serving together in desegregated units. The Hawaii National Guard was made up of whites and Japanese soldiers.

Members of the ROTC at the ROTC of the University of Hawaii, that were later discharged from the Hawaii National Guard, because of their Japanese ancestry, formed the Varsity Victory Volunteers. These men didn't let themselves be held back. They saw an obstacle, side stepped it and continued to march. (Not addressing you, ric, as much as the, "yooze-a-racist", crowd.)

Try to follow the conversation. I said that you are denying history. I previously stated that legalized racism existed in this country for close to 200 years. You denied it. I explained it (slavery, 89 years; Jim Crow, 89 years = 178 years). Your inappropriate response was that that isn't 200 years. That's pretty obvious, but I said "close to" 200 years, not 200 years exactly. You're entitled to your own opinions, but not your own facts.

No, you said that slavery existed for 200 years in the United States. Either way, it's not, "200 years".

Plus, the Jim Crow laws didn't exist outside of the former-Confederate states, not to mention they've been blown out of proportion by the revisionist Left wing historians. My dad and those from his age group have repeatedly called bull**** on the version of history that the Libbos try to present. He didn't let dumbass racists and Liberal do-gooders **** up his life, either.

Ah, I see....Liberals (like YOU) perpetuate the "MAN" stereotype in order to keep black Americans appealing to thier cause. When historically it has been the Demoncrates who were against Desegregation, freedom from slavery and other programmes designed to give black Americans pride in themselves.

Because of this many in the black community who listen to the liberal drabble....your kind of drabble
