Very, very true.

Did whites traffic drugs and guns in non black communities? Did whites assassinate civil rights leaders in non black communities? What about burning down rich non black communities and bombing them with airplanes when the try to uplift themselves economically? What other races outside of Black's are banks targeting for predatory loans? What other races outside of Black's that are discriminated against on a Federal level?
Oh they got it really bad, at least they got some half assed reparations thoughI can't speak for the Native Americans, but I think they'd have some answers for your questions.
Yeah, I thought I would get responses like this with no substance, so I'm just gonna go ahead and leave this thread. Thanks for all the insight guys...
Swimming while Black
I really do apologize advance, but is this a joke thread? Because I can't see how the mods okay with a thread on how the white man hates black people?
I'm not white, and I'm not black, but I have experienced some racism. From what I have seen, in America, some people in the African American community just like to believe that everyone is against them. I'm not sure why, but this seems prevalent. I'm not saying everyone is like this, but I have African American friends who live perfectly normal lives, probably due to the fact that they don't think everyone is against them.
In my opinion, there is nothing you can't do while black that you can do while white. I just wish more people would stop labelling themselves
Again, not trying to post inflammatory shit, just really my opinion, although probably an unpopular one.
and then he uses his black friends to deny all the evidence and statisticsYou could try talking to them about it instead of telling us that black people are complainers just because you think so.
"Some people in the African American community just like to believe that everyone is against them. I'm not sure why." lol
Extremely short version:
European whites got the gunpowder and long range sailing ships first. Colonialism followed, attitudes of cultural superiority, and so on, all the usual effects when one of our species' tribes gets an advantage over another.
Then in this country, we took the already well established institution of slavery, and added a new wrinkle: all slaves would come from a specific region, where the people had an obviously visible characteristic that distinguished them from the white settlers. Cue even more intense tribalistic otherizing, even to the point where this situation was proclaimed to be "ordained by God". It was considered a Law of Nature that the black be subservient to the white.
Fast forward through a century of economic development driven by this engine of stolen labor, an engine so vital that the enslaved human beings that comprised it were more valuable than the rest of the country's infrastructure combined. All throughout this those attitudes about the place of black people continued to be reinforced and justified by the country's economic growth and success. Slavery was a boon to all white men, freeing even the poorest of whites from the lowest forms of labor. It was right.
Then when the Civil War put paid to slavery, we were left with a nation full of white people who had been convinced that black people were animals, no more than beasts of burden, who were now free and living amongst them as supposed equals.
They were not happy, to say the least.
So we ended up with Reconstruction being stymied, and endless oppression and terrorism against black people throughout the Jim Crow era. Black people might have become citizens, but the whites who had been above them during slavery made damn sure that they stayed just as far above them.
Finally, the Civil Rights Act was passed, enforcing rights that had been abridged all this time by institutionalized white supremacy. Naturally, the racist whites still didn't like the idea, and they've been voting against their own economic interests ever since just to hurt black people more.
And like Louis C.K. said, the time between now and the end of slavery, is just two 70 year old ladies living and dying back to back. My wife's mother grew up in Jim Crow Mississippi and marched in the Civil Rights Movement. The grandmother who raised her was born just a generation after the Civil War ended. This is very recent history.
There has simply not been enough time to erode the calcified attitudes that have built up over centuries of institutionalized slavery that precisely targeted people who clearly looked different from the slavers. That attitude that there is an innate difference, a fundamental gap in culture, in ability, in humanity between white people and black people was taken as an article of faith, a bedrock dogma of our system.
And those attitudes continue to refresh themselves, in culture, in media, in economic activity. Parents influence their kids. Segregation makes sure many of those kids never learn differently. For all our technical advancements, we're still the children of parents whose parents lived in a world where black people were lynched on a regular basis, and their grandparents in turn lived in a world where black people were slaves. Two old ladies, back to back.
We're simply not that far removed from the horror. We're still in it.

Bars. I need this shit put into textbooks all over America. I don't even care what the subject is!
"Oh man, I hate Calculus. *opens textbook* ....uh what is this"
step one print this out, step two, jandro and someone else break into the texas book repository and paste it inside of the front cover of all the books. And inside the front and back of all the history books.
without racism, black people wouldn't have anything to do all day.
Satire.what
without racism, black people wouldn't have anything to do all day.
Taking an advanced sociology class can really open up your eyes and see why people "complain."This thread is fucking unbelievable. Guess what, some black people can lead lives and never be called a slur even once. The majority of them won't. Good God at black people love to complain.

Crush isn't being serious folks. Though considering all the Poe's Law at work today, you might want to be a little careful man.

What in the holy fuck is this? How can they be so casually racist, and so many of them as well?
Sadly with a lot of people especially on social media it's just under the surface. No doubt many of those people would say they were just being 'edgy' but it's funny how that usually means casually racist.
The picture is cropped so I could be wrong but it's mindblowing that no one's there just saying "Uh guys, the fuck".
Comn' son. I am a living example of white privilege. And I'm Hispanic.I really do apologize advance, but is this a joke thread? Because I can't see how the mods okay with a thread on how the white man hates black people?
