...and just how in the heck does that prevent them from studying in school worth a crap today?
Because he is a person of color and automatically, regardless of his actions, feels the effects of race discrimination. When a person grows up white in the US, they get the privilege of not having to deal with the effects of racism. If they choose to, they can go about saying they are "color-blind" because they don't have to deal with racism in the way other people do. People who are not, who are people of color, do not get this privilege.Explain. Why does Jamie Fox not have the option to be color blind if he wants to be?
Good for you. I stated blacks experienced 200+ years of slavery. That statement stands. Wait, are you saying blacks had it better after the US was founded or something?
I'm not talking about people complaining about racism without evidence. My point was that complaints of racism are often brushed under the rug simply because society in general is too afraid to open the can of worms, even though that can of worms is rather large and hindering progress.
Well then that's a shame, things like that should not be brushed under the rug.The only complaints about racism I see brushed under the rug are the incidents where mobs of blacks are racist against whites...
I do believe it was the Minnesota State Fair.... or Wisconsin.... one of those lake states...... where a mob of blacks decided to go attacking white people en mass. And nobody gave a ****.
Must be nice to have a built in excuse for failure.
I grew up poor, Im white....... I have no built in excuse.....
A black person in my same exact situation and born in my same generation can still point to a time 3-5 generations prior to his/her own birth.

4 studies found in 20 seconds. No evidence. Lolz.
Oh no, nothing like that. I am saying that under the US, blacks had only been slaves for 80 years.
...and just how in the heck does that prevent them from studying in school worth a crap today?
So then what do we do about it?
And that is false as American history does not start in 1776 anymore than Irish history started when St. Patrick showed up.
Ummmm........First off.
A. I wasn't talking about a specific complaint... I was talking about when assholes claim racism against an INDIVIDUAL with no evidence.
B. Study SUGGESTS? Suggestions are Evidence now? Statistics don't prove racism, they show racial disparities, they don't explain WHY those disparities exist....
Lolz, so you're saying it does exist but only when the person claiming it isn't in your face about it.
Here is a post card of The Nile:
Enjoy.
That is why I am talking about the US government, not the history books.
The US government. LAWS that US citizens had to LIVE BY since the inception of the US government, which was in 1776.
Nope, there are still generational effects for Japanese Americans. The scale is just different. Not all marginalization is the same with the same consequences. Racism is different from sexism which is different from homophobia and so on.
Then I guess you're nothing more than a revisionist who picks and chooses which evidence to look at. However, do tell, how does 80 years of slavery followed by another 100 of government imposed discrimination make the clear generational effects of racism any less. I'd love to hear the answer.
And are you just going to excuse it with a "Not all marginalization is the same" or are you going to ask the important question.
Why is it different? What Makes it different? WHY is it not the same?
Automatically? How so?Because he is a person of color and automatically, regardless of his actions, feels the effects of race discrimination.
Any white person who has had to spend 10 minutes as the only white person in a group of 6 people also deals with racism......When a person grows up white in the US, they get the privilege of not having to deal with the effects of racism. If they choose to, they can go about saying they are "color-blind" because they don't have to deal with racism in the way other people do. People who are not, who are people of color, do not get this privilege.
From what I understand, your argument basically says this, step-by-step:Well it depends on which side of the story you accept.
But do come up with longer, more comprehensive answers and make a detailed argument about your opinion.
LOL. Well we have a lot of blacks in this country who immigrated from Africa post civil war. They use the 'it's my skin color' cop out just like the rest.
I find it interesting that Asians and Hispanics do not. They work their brown little asses off.
Yawn, we've played this game before.
1. You claim there is no evidence for racism.
2. I show you dozens of studies saying otherwise.
3. You talk about your personal experience and that time you listened to DMX.
Why do you do this to yourself? Every. Single. Time.
Exactly, it would be even worse if I experienced sexism.
Now see, that's a generalization, and racist.
And are you just going to excuse it with a "Not all marginalization is the same" or are you going to ask the important question.
Why is it different? What Makes it different? WHY is it not the same?
I don't recall claiming I listed to DMX anywhere in this thread....
Because our system is unfortunately built in such a way that white people already start out a couple of steps ahead, and it's easier for them to walk up the stairs, but harder for others to do so. It's not a cop out, it's the inconvenient truth of the matter.Automatically? How so?
I feel that this is a cop out.... One of those "instant built in excuses" that we see when it comes to the race discussion in America that creates a WALL to progress.
Oh boy, 10 minutes of racism, what a displeasure for them.Any white person who has had to spend 10 minutes as the only white person in a group of 6 people also deals with racism......
