As it has nothing to do with any argument made, it doesn't stand at all.
No. But you can read studies on this. I gave those only as examples.
Your argument was that racist blacks do not have the ability to cause ... as you put it... actual harm because they are not backed by "Ze InstitUZion!"
I think death is the highest of ACTUAL HARM one can cause.
Of you really believe that, you haven't read any.And like all other studies..... they look at statistics and then draw the racism conclusion with absolutely no explanation to how they got there..
They are a big ass example of Correlation does not equal Causation.
Systematic societal harm. Any human can cause violence in another, but that's not really what we're talking about with that. Most reading this seem able to understand that. We're talking about holding people back, denying a living, housing, the kind of things that come from one race favored societally over another. There is much written on this.
And like all other studies..... they look at statistics and then draw the racism conclusion with absolutely no explanation to how they got there..

Much written that I don't take stock in.
I don't follow Sociology... aka "The Study of How Whitey is Ze Devil!"
But... If I am following correctly.... the only "Whites" you must be speaking of are the select few in positions of power.
Every other broke ass white dude eating mayonaise sandwiches and ****ing their sister have absolutely no power behind their bigotry as much as the next broke ass black dude robbing the liquor store.
So why don't you be specific here.
A closed mind us a terrible thing. :2wave:
I see you ignored the rest of my post......
97 percent of white people's bigotry has no potential for harm and thus cannot be confused with racism.
Racism only exists where the power does right.... and that only exists in a very, very, very small percentage of people.
Because.... this is 2013... we ain't tribal..... that white dude at the top gives a **** less about systematically screwing over black people if it affects his money or his votes.
Rasmussen’s Bizarre Poll About Racism | TPMDC
The right-leaning polling firm Rasmussen Reports dove into America’s views of race on Wednesday with a bizarre survey that concluded most of the nation thinks blacks are more likely to be racist than whites.
Going deeper into the poll’s crosstabs shows that 49 percent of Republicans believe “most black Americans (are) racist,” roughly the same percentage of Democrats (47 percent) who said the opposite. A third of Republicans said most black Americans are not racist, while only 11 percent of the GOP said that most white people are racist. Fifty-eight percent of respondents identified as “very conservative” said most blacks are racist, while a plurality of 44 percent “somewhat conservative” respondents said the same.

A study conducted by Fordham University rated Rasmussen as one of the least accurate pollsters of the 2012 election cycle.
Do you agree?
Yes
No, Whites are the most racist
No, They are the same
I Don't Know
There's no reason to respond to something that is simply inaccurate.
Answer: YES !!!
One only has to checkout the voting results in ANY election: local, state, national to find out that OVERWHELMINGLY if not INVARIABLY the blacks will vote for blacks, unless the black involved is a Republican.
My guess is that blacks voted for blacks (unless the blacks were Republican) by a number close to 90% !!!
LOL....
Okay then....So much for the theory that the lilly white of some redneck's skin in back woods Al-A-BaM-A gives him super powers to affect all the black people in the nation just because he has white skin.
I will need more than your word, and you'll have to show they are comparable to the rest of the nation.

California is a large part of the rest of America. You don't have to take my word just ask other Californians. I happen to be in the transportation industry, and where I live (Bakersfield area lower central valley) ag and oil are the big industries. You don't get an ag job around here if you are not Hispanic. You want one you better own the farm. That's the way it is. Construction is almost to that point. That's more a price point thing though, still its much more difficult for other races to get jobs in those industries.
You say, "MANY" southern schools still have two proms..
Can you name me more than... one?
And... just because there is deep seated resentment doesn't mean we have to put up with it. Its time to move..... FORWARD!
Is it only one now? That was because of the kids themselves as the parents were still against it...my whole point being the mindset of certain communities...I would research that only one, but its 1:41 AM.....Its hard for some people to move forward if they are stuck in the ghetto without a way to get out....Maybe if they would pass Obama's job bill, a few more 'could get out and move forward.....
Here's the problem with your argument. It boils down to "black people need to hurry up and get over the past at the pace that I approve of." That's ridiculous. Historically, groups who have been seriously oppressed hold on to resentment for generations, particularly when the people in their own generation try to shame them for feeling such resentment. The fact is, you don't get to tell black people that slavery doesn't mean much because it was a long time ago. You don't get to tell black people how they should perceive racism. That you and others think you have a better handle on how black people should feel about how racism - current and historical - impacts them is a huge part of the problem in race relations today. People have been questioning black people's feelings on racism forever. To continue to do that and not simply say, "I get it" and stop there continues the problem.
So you mean Blacks vote for Democrats.........
:roll:
The article also mentioned that "reverse redlining occurs when a lender or insurer targets minority consumers, not to deny them loans or insurance, but rather to charge them more than could be charged to a comparable majority consumer whose business is more sought after."I think some people are stuck on the arguments of 3 decades ago.
I'd like to know of a business in today's society who would say NO to money because of someone's race....
Thats what I thought.
I bet that's not Hispanics exercising power, but other factors.
Hispanics made up more than two-thirds (67.9 percent) of California’s agricultural labor force, but only one-third (33.5 percent) of the state’s nonagricultural labor force in 2008.
Nearly all (95.2 percent) of California’s Hispanic agricultural workers identified Mexico as their country of origin. This compares to 82.0 percent of the Hispanic nonagricultural workforce.
In 2006, the most recent year for which CPS spoken language data are available, nearly half (49.4 percent) of California’s agricultural workforce identified Spanish as their only spoken language. In contrast, less than one out of every ten (9.3 percent) nonagricultural workers spoke only Spanish.
In 2008, Asians made up 12.6 percent of California’s nonagricultural labor force, but only 1.3 percent of the agricultural workforce. Blacks made up 6.1 percent of workers in the nonagricultural workforce, but only 1.0 percent of agricultural workers.
Agricultural workers tended to be less educated than nonagricultural workers. In 2008, nearly three-fifths (56.4 percent) of agricultural workers had not completed high school, compared to 14.5 percent of nonagricultural workers. In contrast, over three-fifths (62.9 percent) of nonagricultural workers had attended at least some college after high school, and one-third had attained a bachelor’s degree or higher. Among agricultural workers, one-quarter (25.4 percent) had attended at least some college after high school and only one out of every nine (11.1 percent) had attained a bachelor’s degree or higher.

In 2008, nearly half (48.6 percent) of California’s agricultural workers reported annual family income of less than $35,000. One out of every eight agricultural workers reported annual family income of less than $15,000. In contrast, a little over one out of every five (21.0 percent) nonagricultural workers reported annual family income of less than $35,000, and only about one in 20 (5.6 percent) reported annual family inco

Foreign-born noncitizen agricultural workers reported the lowest annual family income of any citizenship group, while native-born U.S. workers reported the highest. Foreign-born naturalized citizens tended to occupy the middle ground.

So, this actually supports what I'm saying.
You stated MANY southern schools..... I asked for more than ONE school... not more than one prom.
I know of the particular you are talking about....... that doesn't make it MANY SCHOOLS.
Also.... moving forward with their ability to think about white people depends on them getting a job? I know that is not correct, please tell me that is not correct.
BTW: Moving forward in this particular discussion means not accepting deep seated resentment of white people based on a history that most didn't experience.
The article answered your questions. You can read the study in the May 2011 issue of the journal Perspectives on Psycological Science. The authors asked a nationwide sample....which I assume means they made random telephone calls to people all over the country....to indicate on a scale of 1 to 10 to which extent they felt blacks and whites were targets of discrimination in each decade from the 1950s to the 2000s. Here, read for yourself....Is there a link to the actual study, you know, it details how they went about picking their samples, how they worded the questions, and related information which would be included in the actual study.
