RGacky 3, Your conclusion might have been valid some 70 years ago, but since the overwhelming affect of Affirmative Actions policies coming into fruition, the blacks have an OUTRAGEOUS advantage over whites, or even non-blacks in ALL the spheres where RACIAL ISSUES are involved. To conclude otherwise is simply BIZZARE. Check out ANY local, state, or National election that contradicts me......or any corporation employment at any level.

Not to mention many city police departments have gone to specifically going out of their way and reducing hiring standards for black applicants in order to hire them as police officers, or just ignoring or not checking things in their background....... example...

CMPD Chief: Mistakes Made Hiring Accused Officer | www.wsoctv.com

See what happens when you ignore hiring practices so you can get more officers in because of racial quotas?
 
I also sorta think it's true because I notice a lot that a lot of black guys get with subpar white women. Like you can tell she's not really in demand but she has enough going for her types. Which goes to figure, why aren't these black professionals wanting to marry their own women? I notice a lot of single, gorgeous black women and then I notice a lot of subpar white women with black professionals. It does sorta seem to me, from observation at least, that black men might practice more racism against their own than anyone else actually does.


Then again I think that is a result of being a minority within a majority. I don't know that there's actually much that can be done at the end of the day. It is what it is.

I'll look it up like I did ag earlier when I have time. But I suspect they get it because they are quite a bit cheaper.

I was commenting to how you claimed that blacks only vote for blacks... unless they are republican..... which just means blacks only vote for democrats..... You went a long way to say the obvious.

Please excuse me for emphasizing the obvious. However the obvious is not obvious to the black racists and their enablers the liberals hence the emphasis.

Don't give a **** about historical context.

That's obvious. You couldn't possibly care about historical context given that you appear to think the bad stuff towards black people happened 400 years ago, rather than still being very real a mere 40 years ago or so in many places. And there was no magic wand that was waved which made the world so much better instantaneously in 1964 after the CRA was passed.

How long will ****ty behavior be excused due to a past that none of those acting ****ty lived through?

Who said anything about excusing ****ty behavior?

Time to move.... FORWARD!

People who say this don't want to move forward so much as they want everyone to forget the past. 400 years of systematic oppression cannot be fixed overnight. It took more than 100 years to get from owning people to passing a law that said the government cannot actively treat people like **** simply because they are black.

Somehow, during those 400 years or so of systematic oppression, a great many black people learned to not trust white people for some bizarre reason. During the Jim Crow era they learned that the police don't protect and serve black people nearly as much as they protect and serve whites. Are things different now? Sure. But trust is earned, and it ain't going to come overnight. And you know what makes it harder to move forward? A bunch of pissed off crackers saying stupid **** like "Get over it". That doesn't do anything to move us forward, in fact, it does the exact opposite.

So you're saying that it's only obvious to white conservative voters? Really? Perhaps that why the GOP especially in the southern states are trying so hard to suppress black voters.

And more importantly.... what is the basis of this opinion?
 
Caine said:

Conservatives.


And more importantly.... what is the basis of this opinion?

What I read and see in the news....

"...Conservatives have valiantly tried to assert that voter ID laws, trimming the early voting days and even eliminating early voting on Sundays was a prudent and practical decision that had nothing to do with black, Hispanic and young voters, or anyone else.

But anyone with half a brain could see that the GOP was desperate to upend the coalition that proved so pivotal to Obama in 2008. All over the country GOP-led legislatures and governors rushed to pass voter ID laws, only to see federal courts reject a number of them that clearly weren't thought through properly.

In Ohio, the voter suppression tactics were outrageous. After public pressure mounted to stop the practice of extending early voting in GOP-leaning counties and cutting them in Democratic-leaning counties, Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted had no choice but to equalize early voting periods.

Such decisions, frankly, ticked off black activists, politicians, and civil rights groups to the point their voter registration campaigns went into overdrive. I talked to officials in multiple states, and the anger could be heard in their voices. Social media played a role as every new voter suppression effort was exposed, setting off a litany of complaints.

In Florida, Republicans stopped allowing early voting on the Sunday before Election Day, with no explanation as to why. In 2008, black churches marched a massive number of congregants to the polls, led by their slogan, "Souls to the Polls." The GOP clearly didn't want to see that happen again.

Obstacles like these rekindled the feeling among many African-Americans of the tactics enacted during the civil rights movement to keep blacks from voting. So pastors, deacons and laymen pushed and prodded their members to cast absentee ballots, and pushed hard for their members to stand in lines that during the early voting period can last as long as eight hours.

In Ohio, activists hit the salons, barbershops, recreation centers and churches to rally voters to do their civic duty. Black radio stations were enlisted in the battle to protect the sanctity of the ballot.

Even when the networks were calling the election for President Obama on Tuesday, Florida residents were still standing in line to vote, some places in the rain, doing their part to push back.

According to NAACP president and CEO Ben Jealous, the organization registered 432,000 voters, a 350% increase over 2008....read

So you have no evidence.

Just actions taken, and assumptions as to why those actions were made with no reasoning to get you to the conclusion of racist voter suppression.

there is much truth in that though I find more of the blame with the unconditional handouts
Click to expand...

Either way, the government "Dad has to go" policies have wreaked havoc on black families leading to all kinds of problems from high crime effecting everybody, black, white, green, purple; to low educational achievement to an epidemic of out of wedlock births, you name it. I'm of the opinion that if Dad was allowed to stay, although the handouts were possibly ill advised, today they wouldn't be anywhere near as needed as the Dad can't be in the family rules have only compounded, made cyclical and perpetual the poverty conditions in ways that are difficult to undo even though the aggressive driving Dad out anti-fraud measures have ended because now generations have grown up without a father around and is the new normal.

IMHO, one of the biggest potential solutions to undoing the harmful effects on driving fathers away from their families is role-modeling. I'm sure little boys and girls across the country long to have a dad and see what kind of families they hope to have when they grow up even if only from a distance when they see the President. As much as I'm not a huge fan of many of President Obama's liberal policies, I do see the benefit he's having on being a good example of a family man who stayed in school and got a good education, is devoted to his wife and kids and made something of his life. The fact is many inner-city kids have had few effective role models outside of hip-hop, pro sports and sadly criminal enterprise entrepreneurs with whom they can uniquely identify. I think conservatives look like complete jerks for criticizing him for things like bringing his kids on international trips, taking his wife out to dinner or spending time with his family. There's a lot of stuff we can criticize President Obama over; being a good family man shouldn't be one of them and when we do we lose huge chunks of credibility...again. Its like we couldn't give an F about polices, his or ours; we just hate his guts on a personal level and will condemn him for everything including things we claim to support.

"Actions taken" is pretty good evidence not to mention the court rulings that went with some of those "actions taken".....


"...In issuing their 56-page opinion Thursday, the judges wrote that the Texas law likely would have a "retrogressive effect" on the ability of minority voters to cast ballots and said the "implicit costs" of obtaining necessary ID "will fall most heavily on the poor." The three-judge panel also noted that a disproportionately high percentage of African Americans and Hispanics in Texas live in poverty...."

The reasons for it are questionable. I suspect few illegal Canadians will be stopped.
 
What does "more racist" mean? A person is either racist or not, there is no more or less racist. All racists are equally racist.

What the Rasmussen poll tells me is that most Americans believe that black Americans are the most openly racist. Actually, most people have enough personal experience to know it for a fact. We don't need a poll to tell us this.
