I think we are seeing a reaction to blatant favoritism of affirmative action for nearly everyone except white males, the constant drumbeat of excuses for bad actions on the part of black people, and the direct attack on merit.
The fact that a person who is approached on the street is statistically far more likely to be attacked by a black man than a white man is called racism, even though it is true.
Truth is not racism.
What is needed is effective and evenhanded application of justice. The fact that this does not occur in the urban centers run mostly by liberals is a national disgrace.
Black people cannot depend on the criminal justice system in the urban centers. This feeds on itself and results in more criminality, with the results seen.
The whole liberal edifice depends on embracing false ideas about reality, in turn this helps prevent any real solutions.
> if it is slavery that is immoral, then the races of master and slave are immaterial.
Very true. If the slave traders had a stock of non-black, primitive, able bodied humans to work with, then they would have been used as slaves. It’s well past time for black to stop punishing whites as an excuse for their own shortcomings. If all whites are guilty of enslaving blacks, then all blacks are guilty of killing and torturing whites with their lame and ignorant excuses.
While its statistically true that blacks commit more violent crimes than whites, I ask the question again: what does this knowledge get us? We aren’t going to start locking up blacks because they’re black.
More to the point, what are you doing about preventing violent crime in your own little corner of the world? Your about page indicates that you’re from AZ which has some of the best gun laws in the country and open carry there is common. Do you carry openly, or do you leave your safety up to the benevolence of the local government?
“Black racism is not thinly veiled, and people are sick of it.”
Agreed. And two wrongs still don’t make a right.
“I think we are seeing a reaction to blatant favoritism of affirmative action for nearly everyone except white males, the constant drumbeat of excuses for bad actions on the part of black people, and the direct attack on merit.”
Agreed.
“The fact that a person who is approached on the street is statistically far more likely to be attacked by a black man than a white man is called racism, even though it is true.”
It is true. However as I’ve been saying all night, this knowledge doesn’t do you a whole lot of good. I live in a city that is roughly 1/2 white and 1/2 black. I have to interact with black people every day of the week. The fact that I “know” that a black person is more statistically likely to harm me and mine doesn’t do me a heck of a lot of good.
“What is needed is effective and evenhanded application of justice. The fact that this does not occur in the urban centers run mostly by liberals is a national disgrace.”
Our justice system is an absolute disgrace. And I don’t see improvement coming. When something isn’t fixable, and I don’t see that it our justice system is, the second best option is to avoid it or find something else that works. Again, that speaks to a DIY approach.
“Black people cannot depend on the criminal justice system in the urban centers. This feeds on itself and results in more criminality, with the results seen.”
It’s also viewed as unjust from their perspective. Again, I don’t see it as fixable. When it isn’t fixable, you avoid it or figure out something else that works.
