A manger did that? I thought they were only active around Christmastime? :mrgreen:
I don't have an hour to read that entire entry.......soooooooooooooo..... why don't you just point me to WTF you are trying to say.
Yes, segregation is, for most intents and purposes, illegal---(sigh). Where do you think the ghettos came from? why do most white people in Chicago live on the north side, and most of the black people live on the South side? Who do you think runs these thousands of small Southern towns?.
Why would you think that the 1960s are immaterial to the discussion? Jim Crow was not that long ago---many, many people lived through that disgraceful period and that mindset is still quite prevalent in many areas.....Many southern schools still have two proms--one for whites and one for blacks......what does that say to you? There is such a thing as collective conscieneness which is almost genetic in nature....Stories passed from grandparents and parents that become the imbedded memory of a whole community, a whole race of people..... Unless your parents and grandparents had to sit at the back of the bus, drink out of a separate water fountains, lower your eyes when approaching a white person, count a jar full of marbles before you could vote---then how could you even imagine what a whole people have been through in this country.......and why there is a deep seated resentment and distrust of most white people......
Because Im sure when it happens to someone they say, "Well, It hasn't happened to be in the number of all the minorities in history combined so its all good."
No. It still feels the same damned way regardless.
It says that, "redlining is the practice of denying, or charging more for, services such as banking, insurance, access to health care, or even supermarkets, or denying jobs to residents in particular, often racially determined, areas.
It goes on to say that the areas most frequently red lined were black inner city neighborhoods and that banks would often lend to lower-income whites but not to middle- or upper-income blacks. So in response to your question, yes it was most likely "policy" to segrate.
Of course you did. You said we don't get to see "everything" that goes on. You insinuated that these particular detectives/police were dishonest in some way. Don't you think that your claim is pretty much ridiculous?
Only we can distinguish between rarely and often. As well as systematic and individual. Nt making proper distinctions is dishonest.
So we have mind readers now?
According to the studies that I have read (And I have read lots of them.) Almost everyone on this planet is 'racist to some extent.
What we are talking about here is favoring members of your group over members of other groups.
No, up that's your misreading. You merely don't know what you missed. They can make mistakes, which isn't dishonest. Everyone doesn't get convicted, so it's possible that without pre-conceived notions they would have seen something else. We can't know. It's merely a fact that we can only see what is shown.
Nooe. Don't have to be. You can test behavior.
For example, if you're black, and go into the white restaurant, good luck getting service. Try being black and getting into the private school. And more than one white business owner told me he wouldn't hire blacks (they used another word).Is that policy, or is it because of self-segregated areas of town?
Is there a sign on the front that says, "Whites Only" and "Colored Only" on the school or does it just so happen that the schools are zoned for areas where people have segregated their neighborhoods.
Sounds like one of those "over-qualified" situations.
Did you stop to think maybe the person didn't way to pay for the other guy's experience? He wanted to get an employee he could hire cheap?
No? Because the first excuse is RACIST!! GOD DAMNED RACISTS EVERYWHERE!
So a violet mob of angry blacks dragging people out of their cars and beating them and lighting them on fire doesn't effect lives?
For example, if you're black, and go into the white restaurant, good luck getting service. Try being black and getting into the private school. And more than one white business owner told me he wouldn't hire blacks (they used another word).
So you are telling me that despite my not having any real power, somehow you put a person and lilly white skin and they become he man screaming I HAAAAVEE THE POWWWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!
I don't ****in' think so scooter.
This theory is retahded.
Well that's a damned stupid leap.
Even more stupid.
Dishonest is ignoring how someone, anyone, of any race feels after having it done to them.
Re-****ing-gardless of "history"
Why don't you seem to understand that?
Just about as stupid as your theory that because I am white I somehow have special power backing me should I have racist intents.........
**** really ****ing happened though didn't it?
(Maybe not lighting them on fire, Im not so sure on that part, but people were killed regardless so the point still stands).
Which has not been disputed. No one said anyone likes being discriminated against. You're leaping way beyond what anyone has said.
You can guess behavior.
And be quick to jump to the conclusions you were already looking for......
Okay..... So your isolated experiences in a small town in backwoods Mississippi apply to all of the world?
I don't think so scooter.
