Stereotypes do contain some truth or else they would not be recognizable. So, why are blacks avoided due to a stereotype of thuggery? Hmmmmm?
Because we are not racists that see racism by everyone not black or brown for everything anyone says or does to us.
I actually held open a door for a black woman only for her to proclaim, “Wazza matta? U don think I can do dat?”
I had a black colleague that I thought wasn’t racist proclaim to a Subway sammich maker when he was cutting the tomato and gave him the last two slices, “Sh*t spic! Is that how you treat a brother? Give him the end slice like he was garbage??!! Cut me another tomato and you’d better be giving me the middle slices! Damn, fool!”
I’ve had lots of racists comments by non-whites, seeing racial injustice where it didn’t exist.
Sorry Slick. White people do see your racism. We saw a racist jury allow Simpson to go free after he murdered two white people. Oh yeah. We see your racism.
because whites took dr king’s advice about judging on character and not the color of one’s skin.
Blacks did not.
This tells me the author is a grievance merchant.
For my part, I can tell him that the only people I've caught in the act and chased out while burglarizing my apartment were black.
The media tells me not to smoke. Not everyone who smokes gets cancer, you know. But, I play the probabilities, and I don't smoke. When blacks are around I'm extra careful. Playing the probabilities. You bet I profile.
Leave it to a BET egg head to lecture whites on racism.
We are reaching (have reached?) the point where simple truth is “racist”. Truth vs. White Guilt. Even if it could be proven that every whitey is a KKK member, that still wouldn’t account for the crime rate in the black community. Racism is almost useless as an explanatory tool, yet entire academic departments exist based solely on the premise that it explains everything. This is all just repackaged Marxism.
My God! My advice to the black community: Study, work hard, pay your bills, support your children, don’t commit crime, pull you pants up, turn your hat around, mentor your young men to grow up and respect women and perform an honest day’s work for an honest day’s wage, leave the drugs and alcohol alone, embrace academic achievement and support academic achievement in your community and encourage, support, and demand that your young men and young women excel at school, strive for a 100% high school graduation rate with honors and encourage at least 50% to continue towards a college degree in something meaningful. There, there is the recipe. If you want what the white community has, do what the white community does...jeeezus is it really that difficult. Or, continue you doing what you are doing and b$#&@ about it...choices...we all have them.
Poor Boykin. Creepy Ass Crackers just repress him all the time. Or so he wants to believe.
But where are his real day to day examples of black on black racism? Where are the stories of being the victim of crime by another black?
Let him whine and moan (THEN SOLVE) those real problems. Then come back and cry about mean old Whitie.
I just don’t care anymore
I actually agree with most of the observations the guy makes in this article. I’ve said on many liberal sites that we are all racist to one degree or another.
But with this sentence and until the end “That’s why the U.S. Supreme Court eviscerated ...” the author goes on to make ludicrous conclusions.
He is almost trying to say that whites give up their rights to defend themselves against agressive blacks because they are, without knowing it, motivated by racism.
But the article does make a good argument for blacks finding their own country where they are the majority. The author, at the end of the day, is complaining that people are human beings. The only way around the problem he describes is to, if you are a black man who wants to avoid constant racism, is to either create, or find a country where blacks are the majority and move there.
South Africa is lovely this time of year. They have the same natural resources and amenities north america has. It would be a good place to create a predominantly black nation.
Blacks attempt to explain their general incompetence as a group by blaming whites. They should examine themselves for they are largely the source of their own ineptitude both biologically and culturally.
So assuming someone is a criminal because they’re black is “racist”and assuming someone is racist because they’re white is not?
That’s funny, I see racism all the time. All I have to do is flip on the TV and wait for Obastard to make a speech.
I profile based on statistics and probabilities. It’s a good way to stay alive on the street. Black men commit the largest percentage of violent crime in the US, by a wide margin. I’m not going to put myself or my family at risk for the sake of kumbaya naivety.
I see racism alright, but basically from the Negro community. With their anti-Semitism, voting for people because of their skin color, trying to cover up the depredations of the many criminals in their community; etc. I see racism. There is no disconnect.
Cry me a river. Last night I was coming out of the grocery store walking in the crosswalk to get to my car in parking lot. Most people stop for people in the cross walk in these parts. We are a polite people, and it just happens to be the law. Anyways, a car doesn't stop as I was crossing, nearly hitting me. The car then proceeds to incorrectly and illegally park in a handicapped spot. The person driving the car could have been Rachel Jentel's grandmother.
Was I surprised? No. I just stared her down and muttered under my breath something that would cause this post to be deleted.
The point of my post is things happen to whites too. People need to get over it and just be Americans regardless of their color. If black people don't change their culture, then there will always be racism.
“But Paula Deen aside, modern racism isn’t really about the N-word. New code words like Detroit, Chicago, “Stand Your Ground,” voter ID, food stamps and welfare now carry the same impact with dog whistle messages too subtle to be reported by many in the media.”
Bullcrap. The left has just determined that topics which conservatives talk about are secretly racist, and then used the fact that we talk about them to declare us racist. Only preschoolers and lefties are fooled by that type of “logic”.
I see it. I’m just tired of the whining. Get over it and enjoy life.
