Morgan Freeman lays it down on the white man...like a boss

How does what you posted contradict what I said?

You're just googling this shit trying to deny what I'm saying, when all I'm doing is relaying the information as presented by the vast majority of CJ researchers.
 
Please. The ones you see in trouble are the gang merabers, criminals, welfare mommas, drug dealers, etc. They are making bad choices and a lot of it has to do with the breakdown of the family in the black community, not simply because whitey is keeping them down. Look as the blacks who come here from Africa and the Caribbean who do so well.
 
Well I don't think I'm necessarily trying to discount the issue, but I'm certainly trying to say that it's not near the problem people claim it to be. If people would stop blaming others for their own shortcomings then we would all be better off. In the end it's not about race, it's about our actions and how we treat one another. It's like bitching with your girlfriend about something petty when you're not talking about what is actually upsetting you. We all have a personal responsibility to make humanity better than it currently is. I hate folks(blacks usually) who bring up the past like it's some sort of justification for being a bigot. I get an overwhelming feel of despair when I see/hear this type of shit.
 
No I'm ranting about another piece of the pie. I understand fine. Don't take what I said and tell me it's misconstrued when it's obviously a different point altogether.

If blacks truly want to be equal, then they must drop their things that ONLY blacks are privy to. Fuck the NAACP. The shit was founded in 1909. Yeah, it's been over a 100 years. We can be equal now. Either drop it, or allow us all to have the same chance at those privileges.
 
Morgan Freeman was the reason Obama was chosen over Hillary. It's perfectly acceptable for a black man to play god, but not a woman.
 
You're interchanging physical appearance with race.

If it was just physical appearance, you'd just say "George has dark skin."

Race is when you call him "black, or asian, or indian."
 
You won't ever really delve into the subject matter past the surface level, and you'll use some semantic "victory" to assert your justification for not doing so.

If you're not interested in the subject matter, or a greater understanding of any of the facets of the debate, then why bother?
 
That's fine, but when you consider institutional discrimination your argument and general point loses its muster.

It's past the point of individuals.

It's not like some white man in overalls is standing on his porch screaming "niggers" anymore.

The problem is that it's so far ingrained into our society that mundane or routine decisions that seem innocuous are in reality discriminatory.

Look at crime in inner cities. (Yes, I realize that it is partially about class here, but considering minorities are clustered in low income areas, and urban inner cities are generally the most prevalent low income areas, you come to a conclusion)

If you're an 18 year old white kid in the suburbs smoking weed with your frienRAB, you're infinitely less likely to be arrested than if you are an 18 year old black kid in the inner city doing the same crime.

The reason is that the inner city is seen as a bastion of crime and degradation. Not because people in the inner city commit more crime than the rest of the world, but because they do so at a greater rate.

Many theories about this but the base stipulation is that it happens.

Police want to control crime -> Politicians define controlling crime as lowering crime statistics, or alternatively increasing arrest rates -> Police patrol the areas most likely to net them the most arrests -> urban inner city youth/residents in general get arrested more because they're targeted more.

It's simple.

If you asked a random person if policing methoRAB are racist, they'd say no, of course not. Maybe one or two individuals, but the entire department isn't racist.

That's because of the way they view racism. When you stop viewing it as the old farmer screaming "nigger," and start viewing it as an institutional phenomenon that has crawled its way into every facet of society, well, then you see how bad it really is.
 
Ethnicity is language, culture, and other socially created or applied attributes corabined that are uniform to a certain group.

Ethnicity != race.
 
Why are people so reluctant to admit the breadth of effect that race has in crime and justice?

It's so well documented and studied I just don't understand why it's so hard to accept it.
 
I would be offended if a period of one month of the year was allocated to me in an attempt to:

1. Make me feel special
2. Make up for any past actions done upon to myself or my ancestors


Don't try to appease me for it, just get out of my way.
