Why do you think so? Did the black slaves free themselves?Equating black racism with the white racism that infected this country for 3 centuries and continues to this day, and which led to the oppression and subjugation of an entire race is stupid beyond belief.
What role do blacks play in this racism? Do blacks participate? If so why?It is generally done by whites who are unwilling to recognize what systematic racism has done to black people.
Do you believe the CBC and the NBPP are good things? If so why not have a white congressional caucus and new white panther party? If one is good why not the other?Instead, they bleat on about the Congressional Black Caucus and the Black Panthers as though that's the moral equivalent of two centuries of slavery and another of Jim Crow.
Everyone has been oppressed at some time or other. It just might be time to get that huge chip off your shoulder and move on with your life.Is it asshole territory to ignore that whites have been privileged and blacks oppressed?
...Why do you believe white racism continues to this day? What is your evidence for it?...
however, when groups that are NOT racist such as the CBC are dishonestly called racist, we have the right & obligation to call this out.
what do you mean by "generational traction"?
And while I agree these groups are usually sidelined within mainstream american culture, the same situation hardly exists within the african american community itself. Where these groups are readily visible and generally accepted
So the CBC is liberal not racist? Is that your argument?...
What little there is has no relevance to anyone who does not wallow in it.you are seriously suggesting that white racism no longer exists in the USA?
Why do they exist then? If they are not advocating for caused based on race what are they doing?the CBC does not advocate racial discrimination, nor believe that blacks are racially superior to whites.
So the CBC is liberal not racist? Is that your argument?
Shall we have a congressional white caucus to provide support to white causes?
the CBC does not advocate racial discrimination, nor believe that blacks are racially superior to whites.
Oh really? Then what public policy do YOU feel needs a group based MAINLY on their race to support it?....
I mean it can be observed from one generation to the next.
Absolute nonsense.
Is it asshole territory to ignore that whites have been privileged and blacks oppressed?
yeah, it's pretty assholish to ignore such a thing.... and it's just as assholish to use that as a justification for racism.
please provide evidence that the CBC supports discriminatory practises against white people and believes in the superiority of the black race.
they explicitly exclude white people.... and they feel that whites are not equipped or able to handle policy issues that affect blacks, blacks are superior in this regards.....
please provide evidence that the CBC supports discriminatory practises against white people and believes in the superiority of the black race.
"they"?
who is "they"?
the CBC.... you know, the people you were talking about in the post of yours I quoted.
who did you think i meant?
please show how the CBC exclused white people.
please show how the CBC believes that black people are superior.
You keep beating the SAME dead horse. If you feel that ANY single RACIAL group needs "special" treatment based ON RACE that is racism, pure and simple. It does NOT have to be "AGAINST" whites, if it is only "FOR" blacks that is the SAME THING, taking tax money from ALL and giving it DISPROPORTIONALLY intentionally based on RACE to SOME. Get real!
Racism is actually a feeling that a particular race is better or worse overall than another race. If special treatment is motivated by this, than yes it is racist, if it is motivated by other reasons than it is not.
That is BS. If the OTHER reasons are targetted to ONLY majority black zip codes, then they are other EXCUSES not reasons. Look at this tidbit from the OFFICIAL CBC website and explain what OTHER reasons (not EXCUSES) are cited:
"Whereas the CBC recently launched the ‘‘For the People’’
Jobs Initiative to directly address the lack of jobs for
people of color by holding job fairs and town hall meetings
throughout the country in areas hardest hit by the
recession; and
Whereas, to address the unemployment crisis and the need
for job creation solutions in underserved communities,
the CBC has called upon the private and public sectors
to immediately remedy the crisis by going into communities
with legitimate, immediate employment opportunities
for the underserved"
what racism?
I wouldn't call that racist as it is not motivated by racism.
There is a difference in focus on issues that disproportionately affect people of certain races and the believe that a particular race is better or worse in their level of ability, intelligence, humanity, etc.
