Just my take on the difference between “Racism” and “Prejudice”...
Racism is when one assumes that any black one might meet is automatically a violent thug wannabe.
Prejudice is when one recognizes that some blacks do not respect the law, aspire to be gang-members, and prefer to rob, loot, and steal what they want.
Reasonably intelligent people, whether black or white, use common sense, and avoid the latter. Race baiters will call these reasonable intelligent people “Racists”, but in fact, they are prejudiced by experience, which is actually a healthy reaction to a perceived threat.
Let us examine what Charles Barkley observes:
Unfortunately, as I tell my white friends, we as black people, we’re never going to be successful, not because of you white people, but because of other black people. When you’re black, you have to deal with so much crap in your life from other black people. It’s a dirty, dark secret; I’m glad it’s coming out.”
Barkley said that young black men who do well in school are accused of “acting white” by their peers. “One of the reasons we’re never going to be successful as a whole, because of other black people. And for some reason we are brainwashed to think, if you’re not a thug or an idiot, you’re not black enough. If you go to school, make good grades, speak intelligent, and don’t break the law, you’re not a good black person. And it’s a dirty, dark secret.”
“There are a lot of black people who are unintelligent, who don’t have success,” he continued. “It’s best to knock a successful black person down because they’re intelligent, they speak well, they do well in school, and they’re successful…”
“We’re the only ethnic group who say, ‘Hey, if you go to jail, it gives you street cred.’ It’s just typical BS that goes on when you’re black, man.”
Self destructive cultures, imho
As a reasonably rational individual, I discriminate > daily < from groceries to entertainment to associations.
Anyone bombastically claiming otherwise is either a fool or a ward of the state.
