Then maybe, just maybe, you should actually back up your claim. Here is an odd thought, quote him, with a link and context. Until you have done that, those who have provided the full quote have pretty thoroughly refuted you.


Full quote? Funny thing you say that since you only provided the radio part and skipped the lines from the speech, then claimed victory. I'm sure you realize you are doing the same thing you are accusing me of, right?

Tell you what, I'll be happy to post it tomorrow when at my computer. I would just like to thank you for your civility and composure in your discussions with me on this matter, the way you refrained from making it personal and the clear level of civility and respect you have shown should be a beacon of light for all members to follow :roll:

Re: Are all black men brainwashed?

All? No. Even using the word "brainwashed" is off. But, there is a general expectation within the black community that all must/should think alike. Failure to do so often gets derisively labeled as an "Uncle Tom" or "oreo" by other blacks. God forbid that a black man be conservative or.... *gasp!*... a Republican.

I am unaware of any other ethic group in the US that has this expectation.

Right, the Republican didn't come up with the term RINO to "derisively label" those who don't hold all the ideas they (whoever that person happens to be) espouse, or call people "traitors" and "unamerican" for holding different beliefs about what's best for their country. Why not just ask if the Republicans, Democrats, Libertarian, Greens are "brainwashed"? The answer is the same.
 
Re: Are all black men brainwashed?

Higher levels of testosterone do seem to differentiate black males from others, but this is not brainwashing:

"Blacks have much higher testosterone levels than Whites from age 7-24. After 24, the difference starts shrinking, and by the early 30′s, it is gone. In later years, White men have higher testosterone than Black men. This makes it very difficult if not impossible to explain differing behavioral variables, including higher rates of crime and aggression, in Black males over the age of 33 on the basis of elevated testosterone levels.

Higher testosterone levels are linked to violent behavior. High testosterone results in lower IQ in males but better fighting and mating skills. Interestingly, the black male IQ is 83 and black female IQ is 87."

Black Males and Testosterone: Evolution and Perspectives | Robert Lindsay

read the cited article containing those bold assertions
but nowhere did i find any scientific data to support the presentation that blacks' testosterone levels exceed that of whites (until age 27), or to support the average IQ presentation for blacks
 
Re: Are all black men brainwashed?

But don't you think brainwashed is too strong a word for that? And I'm asking this as an honest question. If EVERYONE is brainwashed, then brainwashed isn't a big deal. It seems to me that everyone just learns much of their worldview from the people/things around them, but that's not really brainwashing... Brainwashing implies more force and not everyone has ideas forcefully pushed on them.
Sure it is...but thats going to be the preferred term...so why not run with it. Brainwashing implies a form of conditioning...a repeated message over and over and over to create a subconscious tape in the brain that eliminates independent thought. A better question isnt the name of the act but whether or not the act is evil or diabolical.

And we all sit back to see a master inaction...Note: the seemingly sly avodance of direct answer, the slippery slide to distraction.

Immediate table turn shows a practice master, unfazed in any way by the embare-assment most would feel.

Finalized by the classic (yet powerful) not important, or worth my time right now plus I need to try thinking for a minute dont do this bastard from hell making my head hurt wheres my mommy wish reagan was here damn, now everyone here thinks im stupid and i hate it when this happens so often i want to go fishing ain't worms wiggly and stuff.

Why did I put you on ignore 4 years ago...you are so damn entertaining
 
Re: Are all black men brainwashed?

I couldnt possible agree more:thumbs:
I think believing that brainwashing is more prevalent in any one race or gender here in america IS being brainwashed yourself.

For those who spend all their time in front of the TV, believing everything the talking heads tell them, they don't need to worry about being brainwashed. Those talking heads don't carry eyedroppers with them. :mrgreen:

Please understand, I was in no way degrading black people...instead, merely pointing out something I found intersting.

This whole racism thing is gettng quite stupid....
 
Re: Are all black men brainwashed?

Maybe you can answer as you aren't hostile over this like some of our frieds here,

What, specifically did he mean by "typical white person" in reference to the abhorent and bigoted behavior attributed to his grandmother?

He didn't mean anything of course, he was just talking. :roll:

Reagan? What? You had me on ignore for 4 years? I never noticed... :shrug:


Coherency, try it sometime.

Yeah, you might have the big black coal sausage compared to my albino inchworm, but I can wear a hoodie in Florida so there.

Here, I'll do better than that:

"Hey you whitey....yeah you...you hate niggas don't you? That's what I thought....TYPICAL.
 
Imagine if folks spent less time insulting me and hurling attacks, explained the actual cotext the way they see it, perhaps we'd have a discussion instead of this ysual nonsense, by the usual suspects, but hey, where's the fun in that...:prof
 
Re: Are all black men brainwashed?

When 92% of any voting block votes the same you have to wonder wtf is going on. Thinking people have diverse opinions so being brainwashed is a good theory until a better one comes along.

... 2/3 white males vote Republican. Would you say they are brain washed? Or do you have an imaginary line you drew in the sand?

2/3 really? If that's true how come we don't win every election hands down?
 
Re: Are all black men brainwashed?

Brainwashing may too strong a term, but I do think there is an element of that with those who consider themselves victims in perpetuity because others have continually pointed this out.

I think a lot of people like to insult people with the word victim, and it says a lot about people like you. If somebody talks about inequality, they are usually beat down with insults like victim. If I speak about inequality, I am not doing it to simply complain. I don't complain when others bring up inequality, nor do I use insults towards them to shut the conversation down. We should be more preoccupied with finding ways to solve inequalities than find ways to avoid the discussion and attacking people for bringing the discussion up.

It couldn't have anything do with GOP policies or anything, could it?

You're not the majority? .... Math is a good friend of ours. If you use it properly, you realize white males are no longer a majority in this country even if they outnumber minority groups when placed on a 1 to 1 basis. Example: There are more white males in this country, then blacks. However, together hispanics, blacks, and Jews, comprise a higher percentage of the voting population. That has been Hatuey's voting bloc lesson for the day. :peace

Re: Are all black men brainwashed?

This came from this quote in another thread:



I've seen this argument repeated by many posters in many other threads for the year I've been here and I want to know if this is a common assessment of black men - that they are brainwashed and consequently, do not have or are incapable of having their own thoughts. So, do you agree? Moreover, if you answer "yes", do you believe that black men are more "brainwashed" than any other race? And if so, why do you think that black men think less for themselves than other races?

I have noticed an undercurrent of such sentiment in posts as well. I have not read through the thread yet interesting poll.

I voted no ... !

The people most indoctrinated (or brainwashed) are those glued to corporate infotainment and that is unrelated to race imho.
 
Re: Are all black men brainwashed?

... 2/3 white males vote Republican. Would you say they are brain washed? Or do you have an imaginary line you drew in the sand?

White males vote 60% Republican as a rule, the simple math here is that's only 10% above a 50-50 split whereas blacks vote 90% Democrat, that's only 10% from 100%. See the difference?

well ... physicians and educated people are more likely to be liberal or progressive. I think the poll was a general question and not just political. Certainly a party that had a strong foundation of supporting civil rights would appeal to those of color yet each person has unique pov.

Black men are no more likely to be "brainwashed" then white men.

Again, imho the most indoctrinated groups are those that get most of their information from corporate infotainment,
 
Re: Are all black men brainwashed?

Your implication is GOP policies are anti black, care to name a few?

That wasn't my implication.

My implication is that the GOP have little to no policies enticing minorities or women to vote for them. Most conservatives are even against the legal definition of hate crime, affirmative action, and do little to nothing to improve education standards and equipment in nearly every school district just to name a few things.

*cough* Southern Strategy *cough*

And that too... they aren't helping themselves with the growing Latin voter bloc right now either. Women are moving more left too.
