Racists are mad in three ways:

(a) they believe the human race is somehow divided up into other races based on such a very small range of our various genetic differences as they can ignorantly observe.

(b) they seriously believe themselves to belong to one of these fantasized archaic groups.

(c) they are under the illusion that their imagined groups is somehow 'superior' to other imagined groups, and that they themselves benefit from this madness.

Frankly, they are not fit to offer opinions or vote. They are nutters.

Racial inferiority is so obvious that even you must believe in it. So you are trying to escape reality and hope that you can lie to people about the obvious to see how much power you have over their minds. Pretty successfully too, because everybody squirms and tries to explain why they are not racist, instead of answering, "What's wrong with racism? It's just a response to obvious reality, you know that."

You should take your own advice. By defending thunder's accusation of racism, you are accussing me of racism by proxy. Or don't you understand that?

Never have i said all blacks are lazy, steal, etc. I merely pointed out that enough blacks act in a certain way to create the stereotype. And blaming it on racism is not the solution. The solution is altering the behavior. The same is true for any other race and their stereotypes. Whether it be soccer hooligans, nascar rednecks, whatever.

My problem is that it seems that anytime anyone says anything negative about blacks, no matter how true it may be, someome starts screaming "racism")

Thanks. Your writing is a concise example of racism. Lets examine "enough blacks" as a quantified measurement. And lets select lazy. I haven't seen any data that that blacks are the only ones that are lazy. Also I haven't noticed that blacks are the color black; and, at an anthropological level people that have essentially the same color are usually racially quite different. So, what you are saying w/o knowing it is that people that share a color are a race. But your description is based on an assumed culture. An if you really look at culture only I have found lazy in white culture and I have't found any difference that I can resolve when it comes to skin color between those that consider then selves black, white, or any other color. This is all for now.
 
this is a fascinating thread.

it accuses Liberals of calling anyone who criticizes Obama, of being a racist.

this is a beautiful tactic, as its such a stupid strawman.




nobody gets accused of racism, for strongly objecting to Obama's economic, social, or foreign policies.

and any suggestion of such, is a baseless lie.
 
Thunder you might want to retract your like for my post. You missed the sarcasim in my text.

It bothers me to hear how minorities don't have the same educational opportunities. A poor black kid can get a college education with a minority scholarship (united negro college fund etc). A poor white kid doesn't have that opportunity. When my kid brother was applying for med school, the entrance requirements were lower for minority applicants. The problem isn't that the opportinities are not there, the problem is that many black kid's parents, or parent, don't encourage them to take advantage of them. This isn't 1960 anymore and George Wallace isn't standing on the steps not letting them in.

Ummm the UNCF is a private organization so that is completely irrelevant because it is not funded by government. A poor white kid can get the same pell grants etc as anyone else can from the government.
 
We should just use the official Conservative definition which is "Racism only exists in the Democratic party, or in cases of racism against whites."

As opposed to the official Liberal definition, which is "only whites can be racist, no matter how absurdly racist some blacks and black leaders might act"?

That's funny...I've discussed racism with hundreds of people, a large chunk of them self-identified as liberals, and not ONE (1) of them has ever claimed anything even remotely resembling the notion that "only whites can be racist."

I've met a large chunk of self-described conservatives as well, and while many of them express concern over what they imagine to be unfairly uneven concern for racism in different directions (the dominant conservative approach to racism is to view it as an individual attitude problem instead of/more than as an institutionalized problem).

Now that that's out of the way, any chance left of a reasonable thread?

What's your point? Black kids get pell grants too. The opportunities are there

Thanks. Yours is exactly the attitude I am talking about. There are negative stereotypes about every race or group. Asians can't drive, southerners **** their cousins, etc. But you and yours only squeal racism over black stereotypes.

Then you need to look around more because that attitude is very prevalent, even right here on these very forums.

That a problem exists............
ALL of us suffer from racism.. Some at 1%; others at 100%..
We must face up to the problem and do things to solve it; not deny, not blame others, not be dishonest...
But, a man cannot deny that "blacks" are the most frequent victims of racism...and this is where the most work must be..
We need a better people.
 
its funny how racists always whine & complain when their racism is called racism.

what should we call it instead, "tough love"?

You said and I quote "A poor black kid can get a college education with a minority scholarship (united negro college fund etc)." It is a private organization and can give money to whomever it wishes. There are also whites only scholarships as well as Asian etc. So you are again wrong.

The U.S. Army veteran is the vice president of the Former Majority Association for Equality, a group that awards scholarships solely to white men. - African-American hands out a 'whites-only' scholarship | wfaa.com Dallas - Fort Worth
1994 The first Court Ordered White Only Scholarships was created at Historically Black Colleges in Alabama - Whites Only Scholarship - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Black board member hands out white only scholarship - Black board member hands out white only scholarship

Now lets talk about the real misinformation you are spouting...

A national report released this week by financial aid guru Mark Kantrowitz finds minority students are less likely to win private scholarships or receive merit-based institutional grants than Caucasian students – a pattern that also holds true in California. - Study: White students more likely to win scholarships | California Watch

You should really research before you spout your inaccurate, silly bull****.

In all honesty no it is not. What is prevalent is the attitude that all conservative, republicans, right leaning libertarians etc are guilty of racism via association. The Tea Party for example.

just like the attitude that all Liberals are racists if they support AA or entitlements for the poor.

look, if one doesn't say racist things, they should not be labeled a racist.

however, if one believes that blacks are inferior, or they constantly use negative stereotypes about blacks, they are gonna get called racist and they deserve it.

Well, that may be true, but the argument that blacks cannot be racist because they lack the ability to force their racism on others is still extremely prevalent.

I don't agree at all. Everyone I have ever seen here (even the most rabid liberals) admit blacks can be just as racist. They just don't like to admit it, lol.
