I'm tired of all the excuses made by the black community

[Young Thug]

Im black and i agree with you. We crayola band and kill each other everyday. Also if that cop was black the Mike brown story wouldn't have even made it world wide. I can honestly say black people get on my nerves and im black myself.

there's a 50/50 chance of that story being made into what it is today if the cop's race were different, it would still be an issue of police brutality.

I think they're exaggerating it at this point, maybe a day of rioting would be enough but they're literally destroying their home.

the people doing the rioting aren't protestors, people who are actually there have confirmed this numerous of times.

 

[Cunning Linguist]

IMO, African Americans have it a lot easier in America than whites and other minorites with affirmative action, government assistance, college scholarships, welfare programs, etc


They have no excuses to not and try to succeed in life.

I assume you are referring to the inner city black person. I've met plenty of black people who have had the same upbringing as I have. Upper middle class with a higher quality education. I've also met plenty of black people (and white, latino, etc) that grew up in a poor area and received crap educations. They are forever disadvantaged comparatively just because that happened to be born in an inner city. There is one black billionaire. Oprah. That's sad. Nature vs. Nurture and nurture is much more important

 

[TheUnbiasedOne]

No it doesn't. Racism is any kind of special treatment or discrimination based on race. Black people can be racist, white people can be victims of racism. People need to stop acting like black people are never the offenders.

Look up the Willie Lynch Laws and realize how many are still subtly in place

 

[WolfHaley]

Black people are prejudice. Racism implies having power over the second party

Bullshit.

rac·ism
ˈrāˌsizəm/Submit
noun
the belief that all members of each race possess characteristics or abilities specific to that race, especially so as to distinguish it as inferior or superior to another race or races.
prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against someone of a different race based on the belief that one's own race is superior.

rac·ism noun \ˈrā-ˌsi-zəm also -ˌshi-\
: poor treatment of or violence against people because of their race

: the belief that some races of people are better than others

noun
1.
a belief or doctrine that inherent differences among the various human races determine cultural or individual achievement, usually involving the idea that one's own race is superior and has the right to rule others.
2.
a policy, system of government, etc., based upon or fostering such a doctrine; discrimination.
3.
hatred or intolerance of another race or other races.

Three different definitions, none of it supports this BS. You are definitely not helping the cause against the OP's beliefs.

Didn't Dr. Dre become a billionaire? Just asking, I know someone said his deal fell a bit short

 

[TRE MERCER]

What im saying is it wouldn't be out in the public like it is now. Same with the Trayvon Martin case.

 

[WolfHaley]

Racism is a social institution of the dominant race... And it's certainly not black people. What you speak of is BIGOTRY.

What can a black person's racism do to a white person? Absolutely nothing. But the dominant race's racism can leak into any law,
knock down opportunity for progression, and do serious damage to a minority community. Of ANY race.

Once again, no it's not.

big·ot·ed
ˈbigətid/Submit
adjective
having or revealing an obstinate belief in the superiority of one's own opinions and a prejudiced intolerance of the opinions of others.

Bigotry refers to OPINIONS, not RACE. All racists are bigots, but not all bigots are racists.

If I, as a black male, goes outside and beats up someone else because they are white, is that not racism?

 

[Koha]

You cannot blame a person for failing in a system faintly designed for them to fail but you can blame them for not trying

Excuse the double post.

It was sarcasm.. It's not all our fault. A lot of it is, but it's not.

 

[Mark Sanchez]

The Media has a way of exaggerating things. To understand a black person like myself, you must understand where we come from, what circumstances we are born into, and why we are born into those circumstances, i wont lie and say that white and black people are given the SAME opportunities, because in reality that is false. Our behavior is based on what we see, and are exposed to. We endured much more than white people have, I know that to be true. So when you say a black person is racist maybe he takes offence to a white person, because of what his/her ancestors had to go through for them to be free. Yes racism still exists today, and I don't blame black people for responding negatively to it, because in reality we have every right to.

Those are all excuses the Black community makes


U dont see Hispanics looting and rioting when a Hispanic kid dies

The same for Asians

And the same for other minorities


And they went thru much worse than African Americans but they dont make excuses. They are humble

Yeah, but this is BS. Racism is any kind of disrespect(insults, opression, segregation) towards a person or a group and towards his/their rights simply because of their "race".

That's racism. This "institution" thing is just something dumb moralists came with to keep playing the victim-hero thing.
It makes no sense. Not in a country in which, by law, the minority has the same rights as every other citizen.

Even though in reality it's not as perfect, due to the "sequels" of the time, that's up to time to heal. Because if keep implanting measures to "compensate" for the past, we'll eventually be commiting the same mistake of the past, that is giving a group more rights than the rest. And that will increase the hatred between the groups, which is negative for life in society.

If we compare the past situation of black people with the present one, it improved a lot, and estatistically, it is improving even more. This is the past sequels being "taken care of", handled by time.

racism is that someone is acting like his race is superior to another. When a black person is making fun of a white person, like hillbilly, cracker, it's that he believes he is better than them. If a white person is calling a black person negro is that he believes that he is better. By that pictures logic then racism is dead because everyone right now get equal opportunities, currently

2 of those definitions support my claim. Those are the only racists that you can rightfully complain about. The other one is simple dislike

Which is exactly what I said earlier. Racism is any form of special treatment(distinguishing it as superior), or discrimination(distinguish it as inferior) based on race(to other races).

You sir are a ****ing idiot end of story, continue to hate on black people yet know shit about them.

I think they're exaggerating it at this point, maybe a day of rioting would be enough but they're literally destroying their home.

No, it's not us destroying our home, it's those damn people outside my community that's doing all the damn looting for heaven's sake....
This whole issue should've been done and over with already, but I do understand the protestors for exercising the first amendment.... It's shame that I got to wake up and look on the news to hear about some MORE looting or somebody else getting shot around my corner on W. Florissant.

 

[Forest]

You make a logical point. But just by that title I really question what your motive is, because it seems to come from an angry, trollish and condescending and h view point and not one of actual concern.
