Is Race really an issue?!

Here let me give you a peice of advice to your father in his aid.

Telll him to take the crack pipe out of their hands and hand them a job application.

I used to live in the projects too. And I was/am white. And you think your father had it bad, :lol: .

There is a crack epidemic going on there and I can tell you its killing black folks all over the US. Between OD's and gang distribution failures and other rivalries and disputes black people are killing themselves not by white cops in downtown LA(although I dont condone that).

I will tell you what the number 1 problem blacks have. Its their constant feeling that someone owes them something. They feel as if society owes them money or wealth becasue they want to be pittied. I figured this out by the constant growing up around black neighborhoods. It was the same outlook and perspective no matter where I lived. I lived from coast to coast, midwest, dirty south you name it. I have seen burough to burough. The sentiment is all the same. They feel that the whites need to give the balcks their wealth and let them live like that. That is what tupac preaches in his albums as well. And its wrong.

I could say that the #1 problem whites have is that they think they know what everyone else's problem is. But I am smart enough to know that not nearly all whites are judging blacks like you. I am smart enough to know that what I see and have seen is not the entire world.

Well the same could be said about basically anyone person. That goes back to cockyness.

But I am smart enough to know that not nearly all whites are judging blacks like you.

Of course casue most whites never knew what its like to grow up in the ghettos and the projects. And how could they know anything about black culture and their way of life? Hence their problems? You see I have been there and seen it with my own eyes and hear it with my own ears. And I have friends to this day who have gotten out of that situation. So dont tell me blacks have any sort of an excuse. Cause they have none. If my black friends can make it anyone can. And I applaude them and respect them more than any rich politician.

But the problem is most blacks feel that they deserve reparations. Which is dumb. If they want reparations I will pay for their one way boat ticket back to africa.

I am smart enough to know that what I see and have seen is not the entire world.



Your right and no one has. But I have seen enough. But ask youself this question. Why is it in all the world why is africa the only place that is in so much malice and genocide and desease? And its not a racist question. I have wondered this for a long time casue thats what most aryans tell me and I have no answer to rebut them.

OF COURSE IT IS!!!

First off, i'm black
I'm white, now that that is out of the way, what the hell difference does that make?
and I live in Mississippi. When the hurricane hit those suburbs in
Florida, they already had plans ready for what they're going to do.
I live in Tampa. Just so happens when Katrina hit the east coast of Florida I was in Ft. Lauderdale on business. First thing you do when a storm comes is stockpile water and food. Fill tubs, sinks, buckets, whatever.
When it hit New
Orleans, these people were left with no food and water and Bush never flew over there
what...5 days later?!
First off, forget about Bush. These people had no food or water for five days not because they were black or poor, but because they were STUPID. They had days of watching TV with a big ass storm coming right at them.

The mayor of New Orleans was RIGHT for blasting Bush on that station because it is too
late.
That mayor is toast and was trying to deflect blame. He's a jerk. He's done. If he's reelected then the citizens of New Orleans deserve whatever comes after.

If this was Malibu, California where there are alot of rich white people, the Pres
would have been there the next day.

There you go. You've made this a race thing. Okay, I'll play.

Number one you don't know that. You are so brainwashed by the Jacksons and Sharptons of this nation that logical thinking is beyond you. The fact that you believe and say that lends more to the race problem in this country than anything else. People like you and that comment perpetuates the race problem. And when your black ass says that it pisses off a lot of nice white peoples asses that would normally give you the shirt off their backs, but not now. See how this works, masterdebater? YOU perpetuate it. Good job.


I even saw on TV where they showed blacks looting
out of stores but they talked to some white people coming out of the same stores and said
that those families FOUND those things.

I watched nothing else but coverage of this storm and I saw no such thing.
As I watched the news, they covered all the gas stations in Jackson, MS where mostly
blacks were going. They showed blacks fighting and getting arrested. They never went
to Madison, MS where whites were doing the exact same thing. Blacks are being unfairly
treated by the media AND the government.
We all saw the pictures of looters. The black female cops in Wal-mart looting. Guys with TV's and Nikes. Instead of blaming the media for showing what happened maybe your time would be better spent policing and educating your own race that behavior like that just makes it harder on themselves. No amount of bullshit you utter here will change the fact that hundreds of blacks in New Orleans acted like animals. Your own people are holding your race back dude, that is the simple truth.


The only people that I can give a hand to is the
American Red Cross. They are on the ball.
And aren't they mostly white? Love that consistantcy.


Another question, they have all those buses lined up now to take these people to Texas...
so if they could have done that..why didn't they do it BEFORE the hurricane.
Because your black mayor is inept.

I'll tell you
why, because they knew it would be mostly blacks that couldn't get out of New Orleans.
But bus them they did later, so where is the logic in your statement?

Rich white men probably sitting at their desks saying..."forget those niggas, we gotta
protect our businesses and casinos first"


Anyone with money will try to protect their assets. Wonder what the rich black men were doing. Can you say, "The same as the rich white men?"

Masterdebater, I've told the truth. People are responsible for their own actions. This is not a nanny country. When you try to place the blame for the actions of your people on whitey you look petulant and ignorant.

In all the coverage of the thirsty complaining people of New Orleans I saw one white redneck with a fire boiling water to drink. He said, "I'm fine."

Why do you say I am "so quick" to pass judgement. Where do you get the idea this was quick. Try about 40 years. And my opinion is just as valid as anyone else's.



OK so what? I am of the same genus and species as they.

40 years of what?

Again why do you say I am "so quick to judge" I asked you first.


But what are you trying to do?

At least get a discussion going of the reality and not bury my head in the sand.


You understand? Explain then.

Again what makes you think I don't? I asked first.



Call it a cop out if you want, that is wisdom from the Bible.

I could care less where it comes from it's a cop out and a head in the sand attitude which will accomplish nothing.


It is sad that someone has so much pride that they don't even recognize the help they have recieved. "No man is an island"

Has nothing to do with pride, it has to do with the choices one makes. And when one chooses not to take advantage of a free education not to take advanatage of free higher education, not take advantage of the opportunities available and sits back and waits for help then they suffer the consequences of thier actions.

My attitude comes from my parents who grew up in the projects and now live in a large house in the suburbs. My wisdom comes from my father who "rose above"

As does mine, from my father who worked long hours keeping him away from home, who scrimped and saved and started his own company, and both him and my mother who did not demand government give them money someone else earned so they could buy things they wanted. And it comes from my own experience working hard manual labor and working myself up and bettering myself, not because government gave it to me.

but he doesn't dare forget those who are still behind.

Neither have I and that's why I speak out, I want better for them.

He doesn't judge them,

Perhaps he should because not judging has kept black society on a steady downward spiral.

he does what he can to help them.

He could probably do better by judging them and showing them the errors of thier ways so that they can learn to help themselves.

He doesn't sit around discussing their problems, because he is too busy helping.

Perhaps he should because their situation is brought about by their choices which create thier problems. If there is one thing we have learned since the inception of the welfare state is that handing out solutions in the form of free housing, free food, free health care, and extra pocket money does NOT solve the problem of poverty. It breeds it. And as Bill Cosby has pointed out, living a life of crime, of drugs, of single motherhood of men fathering children and then abandoning them has put black society on the brink of total breakdown and New Orleans has certainly proven that.

IT"S NOT A SECRET! It's high time some judgements were made so that actually solutions can come about. Crime rates amongst the black community are astronomical and a plaque on the community and YOU want to IGNORE it because it JUDGES. Don't you see the folly you engage in? The people such as me you try to condemn seem to have more concern about black society than you who would do nothing because it might JUDGE someone.

Irresponsible behavior and acceptence us such behavior is the primary reason for the failure of black society.

Would you rather "whites" ignore the situation all together?





You usually do ignore these situations untill it involves you

Oddly enough you see whites everyday helping blacks... yet it never involved them, they made it their business to help. You have to want to help yourself before others are going to want to help
 
Surenderer said:
Indeed it is interesting to listen how Whites describe what they think is best for Blacks....especially when it comes to racism

What is best for Blacks is no different from what is best for Whites. Get an education, don't break the law, respect other people and thier property, behave civily, don't do drugs and don't abuse alcohol, don't have children out of wedlock, get married and stay married, get a job and get up and go to it every morning, do what it takes to advance in your employment, be fiscally responsible, don't depend on government to take care of you, if people around you break the law don't be around them and turn them in.

Whats your point? that blacks dont understand this? I am 35 years old and have two children (outta marriage) never done drugs.....never been to jail.....dont hang out with criminals.....have worked everyday of my life since i was 17.......thanks for the life advice though....another example of a holier than though attitude

Well if you are referring to the ones who dont then I agree with you but it sounds as if you are painting all Blacks with a broad brush....much like you do with Muslims...and liberals...or maybe you just do this with anyone who doesnt look or think like you do

Pretty much.

Unlike you I expect people to be at least a little self sufficient. And I think they should be judged on there decisions. I don't make excuses for them constantly, and give them reasons to fail. And when they inevetiably do fail I don't go and look for other people to blame. It seems with you it's always someone else fault except for the actual person involved... Mystifying isn't it...
 
Surenderer said:
Biiinnnggggoooo!!!!!!

Then let the black community figure out it's own problems. And let them solve them on there own. Don't allow those awful whitey crackers try and do anything for you. That way you can say you did it all on your own. Hell i'm all for that.

Unlike me huh? You sound so stupid because I am not of that mindset.....although I see the need for Affirmative Action I dont really agree with it....I dont agree with a criminal mindset and think that Criminals should be punished regardless of color but I do also see that Blacks for some reason get more time for the same crimes.....Your ignorant racist mindset has much more to do with racism in this country more than mind does....dont act like you know me
 
IM one of those whites in the florida suburbs, I live in Gulf Breeze.. . near pensacola, we were hit by Ivan last september... we were also hit by arlene, cindy, and dennis this year... do yall seriously think we had troops here teh next day? all i seen rolling into my streets the first 5 days was Florida police force.. that the State and county had requested... after a few days teh national gaurd showed up... fema was in new orleans a week earlier than they were in our panhandle for ivan.. yes they got here quick adn set up base quick, but there wasnt up to 20 feet of water, or an armed mob prohibiting their progress... i havent seen the national gaurd bypassing blacks to get to whites? Florida is well prepared for hurricanes. Fema has local offices in different locations.. the locations for Florida are veterans. They know what to do, becasue they do it every single year...

Whitey Crackers? who said that? or are you assuming that I think that about Whites?....but I get your point though because you have shown that you dont give a damn about Blacks

Lets blame others for everybodies problems. Lets not blame the guy that doesn't want to work but would rather get welfare. Lets not blame the guy who decided selling crack was the best way for him to make money. It's always someone elses fault. It's the presidents or the congress or the mayor or whitey.. How pathetic can you sound? Your a an excuse maker for anyone that can't behave themselves or obey the law. Anyone that can't seem to get of his or her ass can go to you to find out who to blame. I can make these assumptions since you have made one with me. If i am the ignorant racisit, it would seem your the pathetic liberal excuse maker.

I don't give a damm about blacks? Who said that? or are you assuming that I think that about Blacks?....but I get your point though because you have shown that you dont give a damn about Whites.

There ya go assuming again. I feel the same way about anybody of any color. Your assumption was that it only pertained to blacks.. Sounds like your a bit of a racist to me

If whites don't know what there talking about like you basically said. Then you should go about fixing everything without there assistance

Ok slowmoe let me say this slow for you.....when......did....I...ever....make....excuses....for ....these....people? I have even stated in my 1st post that I dont believe that the N.O. situation was race motivated.....too bad for you I dont feel like you think all Blacks feel:(

Without knowing me or any of my posts saying I felt like a certain way this is how you assumed I felt:

When I asked you if you painted everyone with a broad brush who didnt agree with you you said

Pretty much.



Unlike you though bro I dont hate whites....hell my kids are mixed.....but I dont deny that racism still exists in this country which you evidently cant see through your white hood
 
Surenderer said:

I expect the same out of everybody. I don't make up different rules for different people. I don't expect more or less from a black man then I do A white man. So yes in that regard I paint everybody with the same brush. If thats racisit to you then I am happy to be one

Surenderer said:

I'm not you bro.

Your ignorant racist mindset has much more to do with racism in this country more than mind does....dont act like you know me

Then you essentialy call me a clan member... and a racist 2-3 times in as many posts. So your opinion has little value to me.

My kids are white. And I will teach my kids to go out and to work for what they want. Don't except handouts and don't expect something for nothing. And I will want them to expect the same from others. Because i don't feel it's racist to expect a black man to go to work and be productive, or a white man. I expect the same from pretty much everybody. Work, pay your bills, take care of your family and try to pay attention to the law (the last one may get bent depending on the circumstances)

Sorry but I don't feel being poor is an excuse to sit around and not attempt something. If anything it would seem an excuse to work harder..
