You just saw a video of a man on stage saying black people should be lynched and calling them nigger and you don't think there's racism in this country? It takes a lot more than anti-discrimination laws to make racism disappear. And it's not like our legal system convicts blacks disproportionately to whites. Or that our prisons are filled with far more blacks than whites. Or that a Black man with a masters makes less than a white man with a bachelors. uh, you were saying persecution earlier, not racism. completely different. one guy standing on stage saying "nigger" means nothing except a career in the toilet. they're not being kicked out of the US because of the color of their skin. they're not being killed solely because of their race. and despite what hippies and minorities may think, they're not being "held down" by "the man". yes, there is a lot of racism in this country, but people aren't being lynched on street corners and we're not putting them on rafts and sending them to other countries or keeping them in cages. it's not persecution by any means. |

uh, you were saying persecution earlier, not racism. completely different. one guy standing on stage saying "nigger" means nothing except a career in the toilet. Yes, but there was another part to your post: QUOTE are there not laws requiring companies to hire minorities, no matter how under-qualified? are they not admitted to major universities over more qualified white people? i bet that's a nice crutch, being able to sue the shit out of somebody because they didn't give you a job or let you into a school. Please spare me the poor oppressed white man racket. QUOTE maybe blacks commit more crimes?? just a guess here http://www.ojp.usdoj.gov/bjs/glance/tables/jailracetab.htm http://www.infoplease.com/ipa/A0762156.html Blacks make up 39% of the prison population, but only 12% of the general population. You honestly mean to tell me you believe blacks commit crime at more than 3 times the rate of white people? QUOTE pure speculation. No it's not. That's a statistic from the department of labor from one of my sociology classes. I can't find the stat right now and don't feel like digging for any other stats on the subject. The point is, at the same level of education the average white male makes a lot more than the average black male. -------------------- Holy shit, pebkac, you're awesome!

I remeber getting yelled at by this black guys at the greyhound bus station in dallas, calling me a honkey. Good times!
Is there still racism in america? you bet! Will there be racisim in america in the future? Fuck ya!! will is decrease? Probably and hopefully its slowly going the right way, just like Seth said. Everyone wants to be the victim so they can get quick recompinsation. Cosby is right, blacks (and whites) need to stop having the victim attitude when it comes to racism. -------------------- Southern Rock, beer and bears!

Please spare me the poor oppressed white man racket. please spare me the poor oppressed black man racket. you cannot honestly tell me that you believe that actual crime is split perfectly along racial lines. you can't tell me there's just as many white people committing crime as blacks. there's a fucking reason people get scared of becoming a victim when living in certain communities, and it aint predominately white communities. don't act like some non-racist elitist or some shit because you think you're above that. yes racism against blacks has decreased, and keeps decreasing, but their racism against whites is increasing. they blame white people for everything. "oh i'm not in jail because I got caught selling crack, it was that white judge being racist". "oh it wasn't because of my 2.5 GPA that I didn't get the job, it was because I'm black". racism will never go away as long as lines keep being drawn. black people say they want equality, and yet they make and still maintain a fucking "National Association for Advancement of Colored People", "United Negro College Fund", "Black Entertainment Television". we have "Affirmative Action". all these things are about as divided and racist as it gets. you can't divide people up and then expect them to act undivided. do you think one day, when racism is truly gone, there will still be a NAACP? or a BET? hell no. |

Blacks make up 39% of the prison population, but only 12% of the general population. You honestly mean to tell me you believe blacks commit crime at more than 3 times the rate of white people? Yes, I do. When's the last time a mob of white people burned down and looted a store because they were angry that a group of people they don't agree with was having a peaceful demonstration? When's the last time a mob of white people took advantage of a bad natural situation and looted flooded stores or go completely lawless raping and killing people because there weren't police to stop them? When's the last time white people rioted in the streets of L.A. stealing from all the stores they could and pulling people from their cars and dragging them to their death? After katrina, the evacuees who went to houston, a strong majority of whom were black, caused the murder rate in houston to go up by 20% and the armed robbery by 11%. QUOTE In Britain blacks are responsible for 26% of the robberies, 10% of the sexual offences and 14% of the drug offences despite the fact they make up only 2% of the population in the UK. (Source: Statistics on Race and the Criminal Justice System.) Sixty-three percent of mugging victims in London reported that their attackers were black. In Britain, "almost twice as many black people are in prison as at university, according to a report by the Commission for Racial Equality." So it's just not in this country. -------------------- ![]() |

So it's just not in this country. i agree with almost everything in this post except the katrina situation. all people would take advantage in that situation, not just black people. but to add to what you said, i also wanted to add in something i read a while ago, but can't seem to find now (kinda pissing me off) it mentioned statistics on who donates and volunteers for community service work, such as red cross, and other charitys, etc. blacks were the very bottom. -------------------- |

two things
1. what Richards said was despicable. if you offend me in regards to racism, you done said something BAD 2. these guys are turkeys for suing him. i know it's cause they now have an opportunity to make a shit ton of money, but don't act like a bitch and lie about your motives. don't tell me getting embarrassed and being called some naughty names is worthy of a lawsuit. it isn't. tough it up, get over with it, stop crying, and fucking move on. i know Americans as a whole are weak people, but if getting offended is lawsuit worthy our country is gonna go to hell pronto. -------------------- only here to talk sports occationally
