I could give a rat's ass if they forgive or forget, but for God's sake further their fraking lives.
I don't let the past hold me down. I don't remember and hate. They need to forgive, forget, and further their lives. The past is holding them down. It's as though they shackle themselves.
Let go of the past.
yeah, i read your quote. and racism against blacks still remains more influential and significant than racism against whites, so spare me the "it works both ways" comment. racism against whites hardly "works".yes, mcfly, there is racism in america and it works both ways. now you answer mine.
Black names and racism in the hiring process - Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaTheir objective was to measure racial discrimination in the labor market. They assigned either an African American sounding name or a white sounding name to each resume in order to manipulate perception of race. The results of the experiment showed that white names received 50 percent more callbacks for interviews, an indication of significant racial discrimination in the labor market. The results of the experiment also showed that a higher quality resume for whites gets 30 percent more callbacks while on the contrary a higher quality resume for African Americans gets far fewer callbacks. Their results showed that racial discrimination was uniform and prominent across occupations and industries in the labor market.
Where did I say it was acceptable or did you just attach that meaning out of nowhere instead of simply reading what's there.I see. It simply seems that because racism is less effective against one race, that it is acceptable.
My posts are very clear. The problem is that you read into them. Advice: Don't attach meaning that isn't there.It would be beneficial for you if you made your posts a little clearer.
Do you know the difference between "wrong" and "effective"? One measures morality and one measures influence. Stop attaching meaning that isn't there Wake, it makes you a poor quality poster.You say that all racism is wrong, but some racism is more effective---worse---than others. Because some racism you think is worse than others, it makes me wonder if you do in fact see some racism as more justifiable than others.
I...I...I...God, Wake, you're so much more honorable than other people. You know so much. Teach me.I responded though I didn't think it would mean much.
Also, that new statement is not vague. Many black people still use slavery as a crutch.
It's been over 200 years.

how is this response relevant at all to the information that i just posted?:2bigcry: poor poor negroes..... waaaaaaah, it's not my fault. if they don't like it here, maybe they can get the **** out and good frakin luck finding anywhere else on the face of the planet where they'll have better opportunity.
those who can, do

Dude, I posted a study showing that people perceived as black with the SAME exact resumes as people perceived as white get called back 50% less for jobs. That's not "cry baby", that's an example of how racism clearly has a practically larger impact on blacks than on whites even when blacks do in fact apply for a job as YOU say they should. Is this how you acted in college? When the professor gave you a study, you just dismissed it according to your feelings? hahahaseeing how the information you just posted was more of the typical cry-baby, hand-wringing, bed-wetting, blame whitey rhetoric, I found it very relevent.
I just responded to your post. I see you didn't reply to other parts of my response. Surprise. As to your slavery aspect - acknowledging the effects of slavery is not the same thing as blaming slavery. Learn the difference.Is it now my turn to ask you to not ignore my post and instead respond to them?

wiki wiki, the most trusted source in bull****.
my personal experience has been quite the opposite. same resume, those with female or minority names get the job so the employer can fill some allegedly non-existant quota.
try getting into MED school as a white guy, you have to score 20% higher on the MCAT to receive the same consideration as blacks and females
Maybe if black moms would stop giving their kids ****ed up names, employers might be more willing to call them back.
having a name like Dechevron, Latrendia, Quaniqualice, Unshashantrell, Zacombrion is like having a tattoo that reads "white trash" across your knuckles.
I would be interested is a study that compares stupid black names against stupid white names to see who gets the job.
who would you call back? Orangello or Billy Bob?
IT'S A STUDY FROM THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO - A RESPECTED RESEARCH UNIVERSITY AND IT SHOWS THAT BLACKS WITH THE EXACT SAME RESUME AS WHITES GET 50% LESS CALLBACKS. IT'S PRETTY CLEAR.
the caps isn't about anger, it's about getting it in your mind that your arguments are complete bs.
Lakisha and Jamal vs Emily and Greg. I assume that they had others, but I'm not paying for the study. Not crazy sames by any stretch of the imagination.again, what names did they pick? they had an agenda and they rigged the study to get the results they wanted. shocker
Great.I simply think all racism is equally wrong and intolerable.
Then I guess we should forget about the Bible too then? What about the Enlightenment or the Revolutionary war? Or is only the bad things and their consequences we should forget.I think people need to stop dredging up the past.

I will say that many "black" names are stupid.
I think it'd be a good thing if black people used more "white" names, like Kevin, Isaac, etc. I still like Marcus, Lamont, Darius, and certain other acceptable names.
If it sounds nice, respectable, and isn't impractical then I have no problem with it.
not born on a res. I am half native american. one grandmother was Creek, the other was Cherokee. one grandfather was a Scot, the other was Creole (more specifically a "Creole of color", a 19th-century term, came to refer to mixed-race people of African and European ancestry)
so "technically" I am also 1/8th black
It appears then didn't choose any "ridiculous" names. Thank you for your time.bolded for emphasis. and since you didn't pay for the study, you haven't a clue about anything other than the one-liner you pulled from the article. you have ZERO evidence that Lakisha and Jamal were 50% less likely to get a call back than Emily and Greg. I'm sure they picked the least ghetto sounding names to include in their summary.
Jamal and Greg had about the same chance at getting a call back. However, Peter was twice as likely to get a call back as was Boomfuquar. therefore the overall statistics say blacks are 50% less likely to get a call back.
without seeing the actual study, you can't make any legitimate claims about the conclusion at all.

Sucks for him unless he leaves and goes to pretty much anywhere else in the United States, but the fact that you provided this example shows that you understand my point perfectly especially since I'm sure you know that the white kid in a majority black neighborhood is much rarer than the entire minority black population in majority white country.
