I think it’s racism to imagine that all people of a certain racial group are the same. It’s also racism not to admit that there are still racial barriers in our society. The fact that some schools still have segregated proms speaks volumes about racism.

I can’t stand Michelle Malkin. She’s just another “Asian Doormat for White Supremacy”, like that fool Satoshi. I’m glad that they’re insignificant to the mainstream (well…I give Satoshi a few more weeks, if people haven’t forgotten about him by now) and that their nonsense hasn’t tarnished the image of all decent Asian folks.

But on the other hand, black people won’t (generally speaking) look at rednecks as your average white. Look at what black folks (generally) call them “Hillbilly (or Redneck) @$$ed White People!” Blacks who are messing up are just “blacks” to white people, not a special type of blacks. You rarely, if ever, hear white people differentiate between “ghetto” blacks and blacks period. We’re always lumped together. This btw, is inarguable as it has been an issue with black folks for generations, and is confirmed by the endless amount of “I can’t stand how black people…” posts.

And before you say it, the whole “Don’t listen to them…” pacifism line doesn’t work, because negative opinions still effect white perceptions and is reflected in the same type of negative comments. Plus it practically excuses bad white behavior.

It forces blacks to play defense.

Why should you or any successful Black person play defense…? I don’t have to look very far to find a White person with Meth or alcohol problems… my attitude towards them is they made their (bad) choices, tough sh*t. I guarantee you that civilized Whites don’t look upon the average redneck as their brother.

True, true like the poster called uncle milton and dedabets

Well first.. the term “whitey” went out of style around the time groovy faded from regular use. Second.. there are members of every community that point fingers at some other entity as being the source of their problems. Rural White people like to complain about “the government” (and these complaints sure as hell predate Obama’s presidency..) sometimes they are right but often times they are wrong. Looking at the Cynic’s post I can probably agree with his numbers.

Believe me, I’m duly shocked!

I don’t understand why most American Blacks don’t put all of their energy into teaching each other how to do these things I mentioned instead of “blaming whitey.” If they did, their progress would be grow astronomically and they would get lots more respect. Instead, they’re stuck on blaming whitey.

As if people want to be out of work and want to be poor and want to get in trouble with the police.

Lots of black people don’t have to be poor, out of work, or get into trouble.

Let’s look at so many blacks being poor. I think it’s due to poor money management most of the time. If a black couple earn a total of $30,000-$40,000 annually, they could still amass wealth if they stick to a budget and know how to manage their money. They could live in a 1-bedroom apt, have a used car, eat nutritious foods, not have cable TV (waste of money anyway), and find lots of free entertainment, which is usually better and so on. If they have discipline and do that for a period of time, they could have savings and create wealth.

This couple could supplement their salaries with small side businesses that could become full businesses for one or both of them.

Sometimes black people are wrongfully arrested, but this is not the norm. Some American black people seem to feel that they have to get into trouble with the police. They need a new attitude about these 3 areas.

Excellent video. Thanks.

I think the whole “blame whitey” thing also cheapens the statements coming from blacks in matters regarding race and racism. It’s as if to say that black people don’t know anything about racism, but whites do. So, whatever they say about whites is false, and they are not one to talk.

-I agree. The term “wh*ty” is not common among black ppl. I don’t think I’ve ever heard a blk person say it in person. Most I’ve heard the term is from white ppl online or on tv even.

-White ppl aren’t to blame for PERPETUATING the racial inequality in America tho. I mean you can say white racism is at the root, but I would only say 20% or less of inequality can be attributed to institutional racism. A big enough number for the blaming types to focus all of their attention to, but its def not the root of PERPETUATION. Most of the rest is the culture/mentality(65-70%) too many blk folks adhere to.
