My point was that all blacks are painted with the Jim Crow brush when only a small percentage of them lived in that area.

Those days are used an excuse for all kinds of crap and it shouldn't.

When did I saw people should stop talking about anything?

I sadi stop using it as an excuse when it affect a small percentage of the whole population.

The issue, here, is that you're thinking of 'the black people' - when you should be focused on all the 'redneck whites who never stopped being racist'
 
We see it on TV and in the movies everyday. A black comedian or a black sitcom or a black movie. They move directly into bashing on whites, calling them honkies, crackers and other derogatory terms. Often times they'll have whites appear to be ignorant about the world around them and so on.

They're are even stations, BET, that tailor a large segment of their broadcasts are directed right at this type of comedy.

So, should this be allowed or is this another type of racism? Should whites be allowed to launch all white networks, such as WET, that target their jokes towards blacks?

Keep in mind, blacks use the term "cracker" and "honkie" (recently heard Kid Rock use Honkie) all the time, when's the last time you heard a modern movie where a white used the "N" word?

Yes it's racism, and it's hilarious, of course it should be allowed to continue.
 
To get serious though. African descendants have an issue that goes well beyond Jim Crow laws, racism and US Slavery. People are extremely quick to forget a few things.

1. Slave was abolished close to 150 years ago. There is noone alive now who was a US Slave owner or US Slave back then.
2. Jim Crow laws were abolished almost 50 years ago, there are not a lot left today who were subjected to them. Some yes, but not a large percentage.
3. African decendents have problems in all countries, not just the US.
4. African-Americans kill more African-Americans through violence than any other cause when it comes to young African-American males. Why is that?
5. Nigeria has spent decades in civil war after civil war amongst it's tribes, why is that?
6. African has the oldest civilizations on the planet, yet it has the most 3 world and the least developed nations on the planet. Why is that?

I'll just adress these 6 points, 'cause I'm lazy.

1. Slave was abolished close to 150 years ago. There is noone alive now who was a US Slave owner or US Slave back then.
2. Jim Crow laws were abolished almost 50 years ago, there are not a lot left today who were subjected to them. Some yes, but not a large percentage.

That is true, but the effects of those still have a carry over effect, one of the biggest is the high amounts of xenophobia, and gangs, in majority black areas, these originated as a means of self defense for the blacks as a result of institutionalised racism.

3. African decendents have problems in all countries, not just the US.

I dunno about other countries, so we'll talk about mine, in Australia, we didn't let blacks in until about the 60's, and the biggest problems from blacks come not form those who have settles, but the recent refugees who have yet to integrate into Australian society, most violent gangs here are either Middle Eastern or Asian, so that prooves that point wrong.

4. African-Americans kill more African-Americans through violence than any other cause when it comes to young African-American males. Why is that?

Because if the gang culture that cam about as mentioned in my reply to the first point.

5. Nigeria has spent decades in civil war after civil war amongst it's tribes, why is that?

Because Europeans didn't take into consideration tribal boundaries when dividing the continent, tribalism is a big thing in Africa, akin to the nationalism in all the little Eastern European countries, you put a bunch of them in a soccer pitch, and they'll fling chairs at each other, imagine if you divided Eastern Europe along arbitary lines, and then expected Serbs and Croats to get along just fine, it wouldn't happen, and it's the same thing with tribalism in Africa, each one wants power to benefit their tribe, and no-one elses.

6. African has the oldest civilizations on the planet, yet it has the most 3 world and the least developed nations on the planet. Why is that?

That can be attributed to many causes; tribalism, colinialism, racism, drought, famine, AIDS, and bugger-all education are some of the factors, look at Ethiopia, it was one of the richest kingdoms in Africa, then it got hit by drought and Communism, now it's a **** hole.

Keeping in mind this isn't a 'blame whitey' post, blacks themselves do much to perpetuate many of the problems, and shy away from potential remedies, but at the same time, many of these are also not the sole fault of blacks.
 
He hasn't been in the poor section of any inner city in the US either obviously.

In the end it comes down to the fact that the African race has spent centuries committing violence against themselves in the form of tribal wars, they've committed nothing to the development of their own nations, as a race they commit more crimes in society than any other race, they spend more time in prison worldwide than any other race.

When you speak of Asians you imagine individuals who are extremely respectful with high morales.
When you speak of Jewish individuals you imagine high morals and dedication to all things they participate in.
When you speak of Caucasians you imagine an individual dedicated to family and job.
When you speak of Arabs you imagine an amazingly strong belief system coupled with high (though different) morals.

But when you speak of an African you imagine guns, nigerian scams, civil unrest, Rodney King, locking your doors, crack and a myriad of other problems.

Jim Crow laws, Slavery and racism did not cause this, it was an issue for the African race long before caucasians took any part in their world.

So in essence, you are arguing that something is inherently wrong with the African race? We have a word for that.

Black comedians have every freedom to show the world just how racist they can be.

It would be wrong to stop them, wrong to even censure them.

It is equally wrong to censure any non-black comedian bashing blacks.

That a double standard exists in the US is plain, and deplorable.

What would be best, however, is if people started rewarding intelligent comedians who can come up with material indepdent of melanin levels.

So long as enough stupid people exist, stupid comedians will exist to amuse them.

You need to meet the Mayor's father-in-law....

....Asians comprise a third of the world's population. How the hell can anyone pretend such a vast and diverse group of people can exhibit anything but the median of human behavior in all aspects?

When you speak of Jewish individuals you imagine high morals and dedication to all things they participate in.

Yeah, like the cook on the Navy ship the Mayor served on. He had twice as much fun in Subic Bay as others, because of his high dedication levels...

When you speak of Caucasians you imagine an individual dedicated to family and job.

Should the Mayor point to his alcoholic white trash parents, or just to the fact that the phrase "white trash" is iconic?

When you speak of Arabs you imagine an amazingly strong belief system coupled with high (though different) morals.

Murdering thousands speaks of the complete lack of morals.

But when you speak of an African you imagine guns, nigerian scams, civil unrest, Rodney King, locking your doors, crack and a myriad of other problems.

...No. Perhaps that's what YOU do, but you weren't appointed to the Mayor's staff as spokeshole, sorry.

Nah, I think of xenophobia.
When you speak of Jewish individuals you imagine high morals and dedication to all things they participate in.
Nah, I think of playing the victim card.

Nah, I think of a sense of entitlement.
When you speak of Arabs you imagine an amazingly strong belief system coupled with high (though different) morals.
Nah, I think of extremism and terrorism.
But when you speak of an African you imagine guns, nigerian scams, civil unrest, Rodney King, locking your doors, crack and a myriad of other problems.
Nah, I think of rich culture and creative expression, particularly relative to music, dance and art.

The rest of your post seems to imply that the African race (note: race is a social construct) is inferior to other races. Is this an accurate interpretation of your comments?
 
(note: race is a social construct)

:prof No it's not, the concept of race in humans is more-or-less the same as the concept of breeds in dogs, that is, the phenotype is the most useful for a given environment is expressed by the breed/racial population at large.

Sure, race is just a division of humanity based on physical characteristics. The meanings beyond physical attributes given to race are social constructs.

Some aren't - there are heredetary differences, not just social and cultural differences - that doesn't mean that anyone's inferior or superior. But we're different which is why they're predisposed to certain health problems and also tend to be exceptional athletes in certain sports - etc . . .and vise versa.

I consider those to be physical differences except for the one about sports. I think certain races are good a certain sports because of culture, the same goes for everything else like intelligence, temperament, etc.

I'd say that the large majority of all the posters in this forum play it. P.C. lefties, P.C. righties, P.C. libertarians -- the need to conform runs strong in people.

What's an example of a PC libertarian argument?
