Sheriff David Clarke expected to join Trump administration

Personally? Absolutely nothing. But, when someone is on a mission to bash his own race, it's rather telling when he marries someone outside of it. Clarence Thomas did the same thing: beats down black people and marries someone who is not black.

Most people in interracial marriages are not racist against their own race like that. But, with Thomas and Clarke we see two people who clearly are.

I love it when you lefties say that blacks are racist against blacks and that Republican women are fighting a war against women. You just can't make stuff up any better than that.
 
This must really piss off the White Superimisit with all this dilution and dipsticking of the Pureity of Whiteness.

Next thing, you guys will be saying that Sheriff David is a white supremacist Nazi.
 
They are.

I'm sure you believe that. Let me guess. You probably think the alt Right's Proud Boys is made up of former choir boys who just love Jesus.

you'll notice a major hypocrisy in right wing circles. Black man who criticizes black people = Telling it like it is. A white person criticizing white people = a liberal self loathing white snowflake. Same thing with voting patterns. Black man votes Republican - Smart man getting off the "plantation". White man voting Democrat - a liberal self loathing white snowflake.

There are a lot of blacks who are racist against blacks. It's actually a well documented, thoroughly studied issue, one which is a rather common problem.

According to the Implicit Association Test, I have a "strong automatic preference for European Americans compared to African Americans." That's a sterile way of saying that I'm biased against black people. For most people, such a designation would probably be unsettling. After all, the United States is a nation that ostensibly aspires not to judge others "by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character." But for me, it caused a mini-existential crisis.

Why? Because I'm black...

As difficult as it was to learn about my black-on-black bias, such results are fairly common.

Yeah, I know. Science and stuff. So, "fake news."
 
Does this mean that you speak against him? Now's your chance to call him out.

I think Clarke is the south end of a northbound horse, but Cigar's racism comments are rather dumb.

Oh, that is for sure.

I found this paragraph to be interesting (from the Atlantic article cited above), and it supports my earlier assertion that blacks who hate blacks prefer to marry whites.

The politics of respectability is really a coping mechanism. It affirms the inferiority and unattractiveness of black culture. And it contributes to the formation of implicit biases that lead black people to prefer white people over their own.

There used to be this political forum I posted on some years ago. It was majority conservative, with about half the threads posted being about black people, black crime, black racism against whites, etc. There was some nasty things said about blacks there. Any way, one of the strangest things about it all was one of the mods was a black man, who often participated in bashing blacks with the other posters. Definitely was an odd thing to see.

Cigar is being flippant, but he's touching upon a rather common problem: Blacks who are racist against other blacks. IMO, Sheriff Clarke fits that bill to a T.
 
You guys keep on getting funnier and funnier all the time. Now the left are calling a black person racist.

If you lived In Wisconsin and knew this guy better you would understand. If there were a. Operation too change skin color he would have had it years ago. They guy is scum and Wisconsin will be better without him, both he and Cathy stepp will fit right in a trump administration.

Yeah. I was kind of thrown for a loop too when I first read about this phenomena. But, it's real. It has a long history--probably going back to slave days when the House Negro looked down on the field hand--and, it's not going away.

An empirical example of internalized racism is Kenneth and Mamie Clark's doll experiment, which was done in America at a time when black and white children were segregated. It involved an African-American child being presented with two dolls that were identical apart from skin and hair color, one doll being white with yellow hair and the other being brown with black hair. The child was asked which doll they would prefer to play with and why. All children in the study expressed a clear preference for the white doll.

In 2006 Kiri Davis recreated the experiment with 21 African-American preschool children for her documentary A Girl Like Me. 15 of the children chose white dolls over black dolls, giving similar reasons as the original study subjects that associated white with "pretty" or "good" and black with "ugly" or "bad".

We can fix ignorance. Not knowing about blacks being racist toward other blacks is ignorant. I suggest you read the links I presented above.

And Republican women are fighting a war against women. You lefties are hilarious.
 
Hes a black guy who hates white guys who don't hate black guys??? You really didn't put a lot of thought into this thread did you.

Umm... have you never heard of Sheriff Clarke?

BTW, black people are racist also. Racism is a system-wide issue, it is a receiver-bias issue. We all receive the same sets of media which convey character archetypes along racial lines.

Clarke, who is himself African-American, has called blacks “uneducated,” “lazy,” and “morally bankrupt.” He has said Black Lives Matter activists are “subhuman creeps,”...

Yeah, that's racist. Why do you think black people somehow can't be racist: what do you think "racist" means?

Why do you think black people somehow can't be racist
Because that is what liberals have been telling us for years. You should really try and keep up with your own sides arguments.

What? No, i don't think so.

Racism is a system-wide problem. Individuals, black or white, can contribute to that problem.
