Sure seems to me like whites are not the only ones who control the power structures.
I'm sorry. When "but the president it black!" is presented as an argument, I exit the debate because I recognize that it's going nowhere. I'm sure you'll interpret that as me being stumped by your amazing argument, but I really just don't have the patience anymore to explain why that argument is always laughably simplistic.
 
Southern units also had preachers that were black men.....

And Soldiers....Voluntary even...

But people tend to overlook things of that sort because it doesn't fit the mold they preach.
Yeah. It's well known, but ignored for the reason you state. It's odd that the political left preaches an open mind but resorts to stereotypical memes at every turn.

Yeah, because that ONE fact proves you wrong.
 
Not everyone was made for grad school and some would just prefer to equate all racial bigotry as equal to that which was and is perpetuated against blacks in the US.

and then again, some do not challenge the dogma they encounter at school and some are smart enough to challenge such based upon potential inconsistancies, missapplications and errant assumptions.

You still haven't responded to the fact that on local and regional levels, people of color are in control of various institutions such as the one that failed to serve the needs of my son. In doing so, you have reduced complex situations to a very simple matter of skin color thus reducing your argument to a matter of simplistic dogma.

Accepting answers while never asking questions may earn one a good grade at school, but it certainly does not expand the understanding of racism. Reducing the notion of racism to a simplistic platitude does not address the very meaningful question Dr Chuckles asked a while back and one which I pointed out early on, namely that you are making an enormous and quite erranious assumption that because whites as a whole have more power in the culture at large that there is no possibility that people of color can be racist, even when they quite definitely control various institutions.

No more simplistic than using inequality of outcome to assert inequality of opportunity exists. When minority enrollment/graduation rates in colleges is said to be "proof" of racial discrimination but minority overrepresentation in the NBA is said to be totally merit based one must be very suspect. If diveristy, or proportional representation is the goal then "by any means necessary" is seen as the correct policy to achieve that goal.

I have no doubt that racial discrimination exists (to this day) but that is not a valid excuse to use "good" racial discrimination (applied to negatively affect those not guilty of it) to pretend to correct that situation. Artificial creation of majority minority voting districts is no more "fair" than gerrymandering for any other purpose. Adding minority "preference" points in hiring/school admission is no more fair than doing the reverse.

But the president is black, tpd.

My goodness, that was satisfying. I hadn't realized there was such a straightforward method for dispatching you.
 
Sounds like you are projecting.

Who has ever said that beating Reginald Denny was justified?

Have you ever been outraged over the mistreatment that Black people in the USA have suffered, and continue to suffer every day in conservative-land ?


I doubt it.




"Tolerance is giving to every other human being every right that you claim for yourself." ~ Robert Green Ingersoll


"Better days are coming." ~ But not for today's out of touch, running out of time, GOP.

Speaking of projecting......:doh

Why people reduce the world to binary is beyond me. Your assumption that because a person rejects bigotry against white people that they must therefore tolerate bigotry against people of color does not allow for the possibility that people may actually reject all bigotry rather than just the politically correct rejection of only some forms.

Read that Ingersol quote again. he says ALL people , not "everybody but white folks"
 
It's a racial slur but not racist. Racism requires institutional backing.

I don't understand why this is a racial slur..

PLEASE EXPLAIN??
 
I agree. That is a simplistic argument.

If this "institutionalized racism" was such a huge problem, there is no way in hell a black man would have been able to become the president.

You're right, it is simplistic. I could have also mentioned that we have many black senators and congress critters and believe it or not a black scotus judge. We also have lots of black governors, mayors, city council members, teachers and principals etc etc. I could go on and on.

Ultimately the point is that the argument that whites control the infrastructure enough to excuse blacks of racism is BS. There is no excuse for racism no matter the situation.

Okay.
 
Glad to see that you cannot put forth a valid arguement when presented with the truth.
Like I said, I knew that you would see it that way. I'm okay with that. /shrug
 
he makes sense but that would put jesse jackson and sharpton out of business

and that would just break my heart...;)

But since you brought up Brotha Jesse, let me pose this question to you and anyone else.

Hot Rod Blago

Found guilty of extortion sentence 14 years. It wasn't actually extortion he was guilty of but attempted extortion but we'll leave that dog lie. Full Disclosure I hated Blago

Jesse Jackson Jr.

Plead Guilty of Fraud to the sum of $750K and is only looking at 4 yrs.

Again

Blago $0 in illicit gain sentence 14 years

Jesse Jackson Jr. $750,000 in illegal gain sentence MAYBE 4 years

Is this right?


This country is racist against Serbs, I swear...
 
Like I said, I knew that you would see it that way. I'm okay with that.

For a person who claimed to leave a conversation once the president's skin color was mentioned, you certainly do seem to be posting away.

Since you have proven beyond any doubt that you are not a person of your word, why should anybody accept any of your arguments?
 
Are you submitting this as evidence that actors are only good for acting?

Yeah, Yeah, and he's playing the role of a man with common sense...
 
Like I said, I knew that you would see it that way. I'm okay with that. /shrug

Is this what you call debating the issue? Don't be a wimp. Stand for your point. Let's hear all of your great arguments.
