Do you think this why people play the race card?

If Jim crow, slavery, and the civil rights movement are the cause of African American 's short comings, why do black carribeans, and Africans out perform African Americans growing up in the same areas? Whats the distinguishing trait that allows a black immigratant to come to the U.S., raise kids in poverty stricken inner cities and schools, and have his kids graduate from college with medical degrees?

This is both anecdotally true (for me) and statistically true.

I don't think it's the reason for all African Americans shortcomings.
Only the ones living in America whose culture was negatively effected by slavery and Jim crow laws.

The fact that black Harvard graduates get less callbacks than white Harvard graduates, getting on average the same amount of callbacks as white State graduates.

Do you know why crimes committed by the black community is disproportionately higher than crimes committed by white communities? Of course you don't.

It's because, for 400 years, black people in America were unable to build any kind of wealth, much less family wealth because the only work they had was slavery. So white people had an enormous economic gap ahead of black people in addition to all political power for literally centuries.

When slavery ended, black people needed communities to live in as they could no longer live in white communities because: 1.) Segregation was instituted and 2.) Black people only had slave quarters to live in and those were abolished. So communities were set aside for all black people, which became what we call ghettos. Know why they were ghettos? Because the government purposefully underfunded those communities; education, sanitation, work opportunities were all shafted by the white-controlled government's economic decisions.

So you have an entire population who have centuries of catch-up to play economically with the white community who have no political power, who have racially discriminatory institutions in the government holding them back in communities with underfunded healthcare, education, and workforce.

And it's not for lack of trying either. Look up Black Wall Street: When the black community started to build wealth for themselves, the US government firebombed them. The only successful bombing on US soil in all of US history came from the US government itself bombing a black community because they started to build up wealth for themselves after 400 years of slavery and government-sanctioned setbacks.

Starting to get the picture? And you know what happens next? In comes Ronald Reagan and the CIA, who pumped guns and drugs into these struggling communities as well as experimented on the black community(this isn't a conspiracy theory either, these are from documents that have been leaked from the CIA). Black people commit a disproportionate amount of crime because the government welled them into communities that they underfunded and incorporated institutions to keep black people in economically low positions and then pumped guns and drugs into their communities to foster crime in order to keep them in those economically low positions.

LMAO Did you just say that because blacks commit more crimes is because of slavery? How delusional and lost are you? Only someone who listens to CNN like a blind following cultist would believe such idiocy. Everything you just said is completely false, catch up? What catch up? Because your people wasn't big back during george washington doesn't mean they're forever doomed to failure, there have been MANY successful black people, you expressing a false sense of oppression is actually bring your race down as people; YOU'RE the one whos racist, YOU'RE attacking your own people by spreading fake news about them being attacked and killed freely in the streets. By spreading this fake news is only dragging your people down to the level of this fantasy that you listen to by CNN, if you wanna sit in your chair and cry over the events of slavery that ended several hundred years ago then do so, just don't go around and insult those who don't reference those points and instead move on because its not like that anymore. Wake up, this isn't the 1800s, theres no racism, theres no supremacy, theres no privilege, just ignorant people who don't understand how to act normal. If a policemen pulls you over then you do what they say, if you don't get hired for several applications later then rethink your appearance and personality, this isn't north korea, if you don't wanna be in the nasty hood then leave it. People like you honestly make me sick, throwing up racism and slavery with everything, '' oh my god did you just pass me in line? SLAVERY! RAPE! HELP! '' you look like a retard, everyone in public doesn't support you, they think to themselves '' damn someone needs to grow up ''.

Yes though I think it's dumb to point at any one reason. I don't think of the "race card" any differently from any other reason someone believes is responsible for their treatment. Either the reasoning holds up or not. There's been times were I've seen others play it because they legitimately couldn't find another explanation for their treatment from people both in the right and in the wrong, so it's not like this and legitimate racism are the only explanations.

Jessie lee peterson was apart of those laws and you see what happened to him? His not effected by some bs, his actually living in reality now.

Wow, Jessie Lee Peterson? Really? He's like a real life Uncle Ruckus. He literally said that racism didn't exist during Jim Crow. GTFO.

So then the problem is the culture, and not slavery and Jim Crow. Meaning the solution is fixing/replacing the culture, not trying to make up for Jim Crow or Slavery. Not saying that's your position, but if a solution is what we were looking for, black american culture should be the primary target.

And if the thing that separates black american culture from other black cultures is the amount of focus given to Jim Crow and slavery, maybe those things shouldn't be a dominant aspect of the culture.

This is a pretty good summary of why people play the race card:

That you're citing someone who said that racism never existed during Jim Crow as a credible source simply because he's black.

You cite CNN yet they lie about almost all their stories.

You know... You like using big words a lot, but you're really bad at answering questions and being able to see your own bs. I don't think there's ever been a time where it might've crossed your head that maybe, just maybe, you're actually wrong.

 

[Lightbringer]

Another deflection. Typical of someone who's cornered.

Name one time I ever cited CNN. I'll wait.

Did you forget segregation end in the 60s? Black people had no books to get any type of education, they worked for whatever they could get and that was nothing at the time, but you just expect them to just pick up and catch up to the rest of the world with nothing to begin with? Do you think they were able to go college in the 60s 70s and probably 80s with no money or education, meanwhile caucasian building up money and their education all the years they had blacks in slavery and segregated means nothing. You really think black people still don’t feel the backlash from back then, you say move out the hood but most can’t even afford to live there, mean while most caucasian people still living off the money black people made for them doing the age of slavery and passing it up generation to generation making it easy for them to live and go to college buy homes and cars if that already didn’t get pasted up to. You think if caucasian had 50 years to get their selfs together starting from nothing at all no education or money things would be different? And let’s throw in cops picking with you even when your not breaking any laws just because they feel like it, you may not think it happens but that’s what a cop told me before and I was just walking home

And you want to bring it back already? "Black people had no books to get any type of education" Let's assume they didn't. What makes you think you need to read a book to be an educated and productive human being?

but you just expect them to just pick up and catch up to the rest of the world with nothing to begin with?

What do you mean with nothing to begin with? They're all just born out of plants now and raised by animals or something? You're gonna have to really explain this to me.

Do you think they were able to go college in the 60s 70s and probably 80s with no money or education,

I'm not able to go to college myself because i don't have any money, and i'm not black. And did i mention we're in 2018? What is your point?

meanwhile caucasian building up money and their education all the years they had blacks in slavery and segregated means nothing.

Ah, so the only reason they're so successful is because "the white man" had slaves picking up cotton and they were their ancestors...Totally has nothing to do with their life decisions and people being different. The reason is slavery, segregation, and oppression, gotcha.

You really think black people still don’t feel the backlash from back then, you say move out the hood but most can’t even afford to live there,

They don't. It's mental. And why can't they even afford to live there? Could it have anything to do with their choices and lifestyle? No, let's blame someone else.

meanwhile most caucasian people still living off the money black people made for them doing the age of slavery and passing it up generation to generation making it easy for them to live and go to college buy homes and cars if that already didn’t get pasted up to.

Again, clearly it has nothing to do with responsibility and work. They are privileged white people who have everything thanks to slavery. If only you understood how retarded that is.

You think if caucasian had 50 years to get their selfs together starting from nothing at all no education or money things would be different?

Caucasians had been slaves in Europe and the middle east for longer than blacks were sold from Africa to work as slaves by englishmen in America. For centuries they were hunted down, used as currency, and the women and even children used a *** slaves.

And let’s throw in cops picking with you even when your not breaking any laws just because they feel like it, you may not think it happens but that’s what a cop told me before and I was just walking home

Right, it's because they're black so the cops pick on them. Just as everything else.

No need to explain anything to you because you would never understand nor would you try but everybody got their own opinion you happy with yours
