I've seen and respect your thoughts, Denise. The thrust of my post(s) were directed to AGS - in other words, calling his bullshit out for what it is. If I conveyed otherwise, I regret the confusion.
Ah geez, I leave this thread to go take my Sunday nap and it explodes into a flurry of activity... It's been interesting reading your posts. If we were't so off-topic by now and if I had caught the thread much sooner I'd go back and respond to some comments. But a few things I'd like to say... First, I'm amazed that Hades still posted in this thread many times after he said he would leave... Second, I have a friend who lives in Florida. He has a friend who is black and belongs to a black family. They have a yacht, three cars, two Xbox 360s, and HDTV + more. My friend himself has one parent, who is unemployed and disabled, and makes around 12K a year. And yet... his friend gets free lunches at school. My friend does not. Hmm... Honestly, I think the only way to abolish racism is to abolish the idea entirely: mainly, get rid of the programs that promote equality. It's upside-down. If we get rid of the programs that give BENEFITS (or try to) to non-white races, and get rid of the programs that try to TAKE benefits from non-white races, we'd lose the idea of racism over time and theoretically society would be good. I just think society has WAAAY over-"PCed" the issue, if you know what I mean. This is a thought police matter now, like anybody that accuses me of being racist for posting this thread: trying to police my free speech (*cough* Hades *cough*) by threatening negative publicity and accusations against me. That's what thought police is all about. In order to achieve equality, we must ignore race. Completely. We've decided it doesn't really matter (socially). So let's just drop it. Don't teach equality, that will just give rebel minds more fuel...
How is that bull when ethnic history is taught once a month in education institutions, while white history and culture is taught a whole year? When I was in high school February was the only month we talked about black history. As for television, what is wrong with ethnicities having one or two channels where they actually can see actors of their ethnicity actually having a chance to perform? Most channels or tv shows have 90-95% white actors performing. No there is not, and the ones that exist are often just read by minorities. Any list created by big companies like money.cnn and forbes are only once a year. If you don't like such stories don't read them, nobody is forcing you.
Did you guys know the president and ceo of both sears and kmart is black? (sears,k-mart and the great indoors is all one company and he runs the whole thing). His name is aylwin lewis, you can look it up. White or black you choose your life and are responsible for creating it.
By the way, this article that I posted/wrote a while ago, called "Official Cause of Death: Political Correctness" can relate to some of the issues discussed here. And surprisingly enough, GAGS actually liked it! </retrospect>
Did you know that schools have only been unsegregated since 1951? Anyone who is hard working and smart can become anything they want in this country now, but that has only been true for a couple generations Whats funny is the difference between what happens if you are short sighted and lazy, say if you take two people who are both relatively losers in their youth. One grows up in reasonably well off white suburb the other grows up in compton. How different do you think the out comes will be? One of them most likely won't end up sucked in Bloods or crips, One most likely won't get shot , or go to prison. Most of the differences have to do with money, there has only been a few generations of blacks who have been allowed to get decent jobs etc
I think this is most likely BS, usually school lunch programs are based on what income the parents have, not on their race. Actual don't take my word for it http://www.fldoe.org/FNM/natlschoollunch/
I'm not sure if he is claiming that the race nets him a free lunch or not (though I can see where you'd read that). At 12k, the person is certainly eligible - not sure why he's not taking it, other than personal choice. Back when I was in high school, people who got "reduced/free" lunches were looked down upon, but from some people I've dated more recently it seems to have switched the other way around. Since schools get paid more, the more people they put onto the program, they have an incentive not to turn people down who do apply for it. It's kind of ashame that people who could afford lunch for their kids aren't paying for it themselves; but I think that's an entirely different issue.
Actually we have tons of immigrants from say India or Asia and come from horrific places way beyond anything any American has experienced this century, They immediately surpass native born americans and excel. The difference is not the unfortunate background but whether one sits around passing out blame and feeling sorry for oneself. Truth? We made it too easy not too hard. And we created a victim culture where it is near impossible to succeed if you identify as a victim.
I grew up poor, sometimes we didn't even have food. But I was in a poor white neighborhood. There really wasn't a lot of crime or violence and people seemed to respect eachother. I don't think poverty is a good excuse for being violent or going to jail. Please don't flame me because my next statement is totally un-pc BUT if we filled compton up with poor white people, I don't think you would see all the violence. Not trying to be rude or anything but just making an observation based on my personal experience only. Maybe I'm wrong...
You know, I don't like to generalize , but most the comments on this thread are absolutely pathetic. Maybe when some of you grow up, yo will understand how stupid you sound, and to stop generalizing people. If that is how some of your attitudes truly are, it is obvious the only people you know that are different from yourself is what you see on TV and what other people tell you about. It's a big world, you really should get out more.
And you are jealous that you don't get to be part of the victim culture? Aren't you guys saying you are white "victims" because there is a black history month or something This whole thread as mostly been a bunch of white people whining because they can't make nigger jokes, and because there is clubs catering to other ethnicities well I guess maybe blacks are an inferior race, right? that is what you are saying isn't it? Blacks have it so easy and yet they don't live up to your expectations
yeah, because white trash is obviously superior to blacks. Thats a pretty funny statement you should hangout with will spencer , he was so poor he didn't have furniture yeah don't buy the non-violent , non criminal white people thing you get a group of poor people together, and add a lot of hard drugs and illegal money and I think you will see a bunch violence regardless of what race they are.
I can give you an example from my country, ferret. About 20 years ago a minority of Russians came to my country (i am one of them); about 15 or so years ago, a minority of Ethiopians were sent here to save them from poverty and start a new life here. Now if we take these two groups of minorities, and compare both we would get: -Ethiopians (black people here) never adjust to our society, the adults don't even know proper Hebrew - while Russians have less trouble to adjust to society (respectable jobs, education and so on). -Almost ALL young Ethiopians don't want to study at school, and are trouble makers. This is the opposite to Russians. -Ethiopians don't get proper education at home, and are left to wander around in the streets all day in large groups. Opposite to Russians. -Ethiopians make huge families that can go up to 7-8 kids. We have an average of 2. -When Ethiopians grow a little older, they drink on the streets, do drugs, wander around in large groups and beat people up (In my area atleast). Now, ofcourse this could happen to any minority in a new country, but i'm just showing the facts. In my opinion, they ruin the quality of life here in my area, and i judge that not based on their color of skin.
obviously you should ban black immigration Where I grew up, Russian immigrants where known for being shady Do they still have those contracts in Israel, where foreign workers aren't allowed to date locals, thats where you are from right?
Ferret completely misses the point. He/she assumes we are making these points because of skin color. The only thing color has to do with it is Ferret and others create a victim culture which nurtures this behaviour amongst black folk. Stop with the excuses and victim stuff and the other will resolve itself.
