Really???? They don’t get enough freebies.....even at my place of employment I see blacks always getting promoted.....I was recently submitted for a promotion by the interviewing manager and I was now told they are looking for more candidates.....Really??? Like affirmative action candidates.....I won’t be surprised......
I don’t get it. Blacks want equal rights except when they want “only” rights ?
I am a teacher and I always ask anyone who is whining about the ‘system’ keeping them down this: “What are your goals and who exactly is preventing you from achieving them?” I press them....Is someone preventing you from being a truck driver, a carpenter, studying for your exams, going to college? Who exactly is doing that? I always get blank stares and why wouldn’t I? It’s a comfortable reassuring, but destructive myth that anyone (white, black, man, woman) cares enough or has time enough to prevent someones success.
We are all in control of our own lives. The fact that the racism card still works on black Americans is just sad. And, the people who portend to care’ the most about black Americans (the Dems) exploit their emotions by convincing them not to embrace their own futures...all so they (the Dems) can claim racism is alive and well. It’s just sad and frustrating.
Because if you can't be part of the solution there is a lot of benefit to be realized by prolonging the problem.
Revenge for what? Anyone who had anything to do with slavery is dead 150 years. It’s not 1950 Selma, Alabama anymore. I’m Polish and the Germans and the Russians brutalized Poland for 100 years. I don’t hold that against today’s Germans or Russians. It had noting to do with me or them. It’s an unfortunate history, nothing more. At some point, maturity and perspective need to kick in for black Americans. It’s ‘safe’ to use racism as a crutch, but it’s useless when trying to build a life of purpose. The racists of today are the one’s who exploit black people for votes...Obama, Clinton, all the dems. Their worst nightmare is that black people start believing racism as no more.
Of course they do. You don’t expect them to tell the truth do you?
I would bet, if polled properly and if people were willing to actually speak their mind and be honest...
\There would be a headline that read: “100% of whites believe all “minority” groups need to step up and quit relying on special privileges / affirmative action, take responsibility, be accountable and clean up their own messes instead of scapegoating white people”.
Translation: Mo’ money, mo’ money, mo’ money.
They have equal rights. That’s enough.
Hundreds of thousands of “Whites” died in the Civil War. They owe us.
And notice how they're almost always the lighter-skinned blacks, as if they need to compensate for something.
It’s been over 150 years since slavery. How much time does it take for you to get your act together. Personally I’ve given about all I care to for “equal rights”. Hell, they get preferred treatment in about all situations. But...until they stop making babies out of wedlock by the millions, shooting each other by the 1000’s, and reacting like feral cats every time they b direspected, I won’t give them any respect. They represent 11% of the population but require 80% of our attention. So, I’d say, you are getting more than your fair share of the pie.
Ok..
Let’s start with basketball and football
Why don’t they return to Africa, where they can receive unlimited equal rights from other blacks?
Q: What rights do American Whites possess that American Blacks do not?
A: That’s Racist!
But what you suggested is part of “acting white”. We can’t have that. (sarcasm)
Equal WORK deserves equal PAY!
What the hell more does the GIMME group want. Affirmative action, free phones, SNAP, passes on their violence, frebbies that exceed the average pay of working people and more. All they know is GIMME,GIMME and GIMME more.
If they could look around and see the what those blacks that have taken advantage of the opportunities offered by this country have attained they could see that wallowing in victim-hood is not the answer.
Already whites have to be especially solicitous - look at Justin Timberlake. He lives a culture that is more black than white, yet he is still too “white” to share about racism.
I’m seeing this as Sneeches with stars on or off their bellies. One way to stop the madness is to NOT COLLECT DATA on race. They can’t do so in Brazil or Puerto Rico, so why don’t we stop? Race is a mental concept. There are no true races. Drop the whole thing.
A few thousand shekels ought to cover it. Each.
Give, give, give.
