WRONG!
I've repeatedly admitted that the playing field isn't level but we shouldn't use it as an excuse while you're constantly harping on the non-level playing field. I've argued that if I was W America, I wouldn't give you some of my power unless you attempted to help yourselves while you seem to think you deserve it off the bat because YOUR (pissed someone off) ancestors were slaves.
completely off base as usual in this thread
I have not said a thing about excuses for black underachievement. I said that the full rights and privileges and respect is something that comes AUTOMATICALLY as an american citizen..or at least thats what the constitution says. And white people positioning themselves as some kind of gatekeeper to those rights and privileges is unconscionable and a crime against their OWN written word of what it means to be an american.
The fact that you agree that they should be the gatekeepers of all things american is sad and the fact that you're apparently brainwashing your child to believe that as well is a crime against him.
this has NOTHING to do with slavery and EVERYTHING to do with a playing field that you YOURSELF admit is not level...and the ONLY reason its not level is because your precious white folk DO NOT WANT IT THAT WAY PERIOD...
Educate you and your child on AMERICAN HISTORY and see when did black people in this country ever have a chance to "help themselves"..
After slavery was abolished in the 1860s..a chance to level the playing field here..white came up with BLACK CODES to disenfranchise and regulate blacks to 2nd class citizenship..
The black Codes are most commonly associated with the Southern states after the American Civil War and the Reconstruction, where they were used to regulate the freedoms of former slaves. In terms of laws that discriminated against African Americans, Black Codes developed over the span of half a century or more. Some laws dated to the early 19th century in Northern states.
When that was outlawed..here's ANOTHER chance for whites to live up to their word...but they didn't instead they created JIM CROW LAWS and segregation. and while was happening other atrocities occurred..
How about the
Rosewood Massacre of January 1923, in which over several days, white mobs attacked and killed African Americans, and burned most of the buildings in the town. The town was abandoned by residents during the massacre and was not reoccupied.
The Tulsa race riot, also known as the 1921 race riot, The night that Tulsa died, the Tulsa Race War, or the Greenwood riot, was a massacre during a large-scale civil disorder confined mainly to the racially segregated
Greenwood neighborhood of Tulsa, Oklahoma, USA on May 31, 1921. During the 16 hours of rioting, over 800 people were admitted to local hospitals with injuries, an estimated 10,000 were left homeless, 35 city blocks composed of 1,256 residences were destroyed by fire, and $1.8 million (nearly $21 million in 2007 dollars) in property damage. Officially, thirty-nine people were reported killed in the riot, of whom ten were white. The actual number of black citizens killed by white local militiamen and volunteers as a result of the riot was estimated in the Red Cross report[1][2] at around 300; making the Tulsa race riot the worst in US history. Other estimates range as high as 3,000, based on the number of grave diggers and other circumstances, although the archaeological and forensic work needed to confirm the number of dead has not been performed.
The 1943 Detroit Race Riot was a race riot which occurred during World War II. The riot began on June 20, 1943, on Belle Isle (one of Detroit's largest parks) when roughly one hundred thousand Detroiters gathered to enjoy the hot Sunday afternoon. Hostile confrontations between young blacks and whites broke out throughout the day, and fights erupted on the bridge connecting Belle Isle to Southeast Detroit. Rumors of race war roused whites and blacks, who both took to the streets near Belle Isle and in the downtown area and attacked passersby, streetcars, and property. Blacks in Paradise Valley (“Black Bottom”) looted white-owned shops; whites overturned and burned cars of black drivers on Woodward Avenue.
The Detroit police, however, sympathized with the white rioters and were brutal to the blacks: 17 blacks were shot to death by the police, but no whites.
and the list goes on and on...FYI in the TULSA INCIDENT the part of town that burned down was called the BLACK WALLSTREET..
The Greenwood section of Tulsa was home to a commercial district so prosperous it was known as "the Negro Wall Street" (now commonly referred to as "the Black Wall Street"). Ironically, the economic enclaves here and elsewhere — bounded and supported by racial discrimination — supported prosperity and capital formation within the community.
In the surrounding areas of northeastern Oklahoma, blacks also enjoyed relative prosperity and participated in the oil boom
This is rich and well off black people in 1921 no less..how fucking much MORE could those black people do to PROVE they deserved the rights and respect promised to them by america???
Show me whole sections of affluent white neighborhoods burned down and hundreds of white people killed in the process while the black neighborhoods remain untouched...show me where the cops shot down white rioters and locked up hundreds of white protesters while blacks go free..
Your comment of
I wouldn't give you some of my power unless you attempted to help yourselves ...
is BULLSHIT and shows you know NOTHING of american history, black achievement or the lies and deceit of white people..PERIOD.
Hell even TODAY blacks make up the majority of drug offenses in the "justice system" while there are studies that show that
OVER 70% of drug users are WHITE...
and if you care to notice NONE of these incidences have anything to do with SLAVERY..
So stop using that worn out cracka talk of "you never experienced slavery" or "you have to EARN it" as an EXCUSE to defend white people when all along they never intended to give it in the first place regardless of how much you work..
cause it sure as hell doesn't happen with the same frequency with white suspects.
if you don't see how ridiculous that statement is then you are truly lost.
