why should we discuss it,
Because it's a problem that still persists in the WORLD. It's a problem that has not been properly addressed and rectified. Thats why we should discuss it. We discuss it because a man got a plunger stuck up his rectum by police officers. Thats why. We discuss it because violence is destroying afrika. Thats why. We should discuss it because american forgein policy has led to the destruction of many men, women and children in the mideast. Thats why we should talk about. We have poverty and blacks and minorities have the highest drop out rate. Thats why we should talk about it. We have housing issues that need attention asap thats why we should talk about it.
it will just end up in a fight or arguement, no point
Not if both parties have a genuine interest in addressing the issue and correcting the problem. It won't be a problem if mutual respect is present.
white people typically are not racist it is just that people stereo type themselves and then try to play mr victim in the situation
Please clarify your statement. Do you understand what a "stereotype" is?
a black man is mad because people say most blacks want to rap and play basketball or somthing along those lines, but he himself is a rapper or a basketball player
To say most blacks want to play basketball or rap would be based on what? A pole that was conducted in urban areas were the way "out" is through sports/entertainment? I own a studio (and it grows each month) and I'll be the first to tell you I couldn't care less about rapping. I can make money scoring, mixing or editing. When black people get mad from statements like that you must consider the source and the motive behind it.
Since you mentioned rapping and basketball how many teams are owned by black men? How many major record labels (the big 5/4) are owned by black men? Do you see a problem with blacks being the "worker bees" while whites maintain a firm
control of the
business?
then says the white guy that made the comment is racist even though many of the black mans friends are doin the same things he is
See the above. Misguided people OR people with genuine ambitions may want to rap or play hoop. People who simply see the fad or a way to get rich quick don't last long....and thats in any business.
i do not try to catagorize people by race or anything, i think circumstances effect a persons life instead of thier "so called mind set that is due to their race" but if everyone just let it go rather than tryin to discuss it itd be better
Don't talk about it, sit back, shut up, don't say a word, it doesn't exist everyone just get along.
HOW CAN YOU GET ALONG WITH SOMEONE OR RECTIFY A PROBLEM IF YOU DONT ADDRESS THE PROBLEM?
Not talking about our society and what has caused MILLIONS and BILLIONS of people to DIE is NOT an answer to the problem. You people act as if racism is dead and we are light years past Jim Crow. Live in denial all you want but let me tell you the truth.
ONE of the
WORST things a
BLACK man can do is try to
COMPROMISE or educate a white man who:
1. Lives in
DENIAL.
2. Does not have a genuine interest in the advancement of
PEOPLE.
3. Promotes the "sweep it under the rug, everything is fine, it doesn't effect me mentality".
and i believe the statement that it does not affect you is quite ignorant
I agree.
your white, so lets make a senerio here, you get in a fight about a black/mexican man callin you racist, and say you win, you will probably be charged with "assault with racist intent"
Possibly. Lets look at a better scenario here. A black man walks down the street and stops to answer his phone. Four white people walk out the house and two of them say "nigger what are you doing looking in my car?" The black man replies by telling them he was not looking at the car but answering his phone. The four whites surround him, a bystander calls the police and the police come. The police arrest the black man for disturbing the peace.....the black man ends up loosing his job as a correctional officer due to the incident. That happened to my brother.
What is that called? Hey Toktzli is that reverse racism?
If whites didn't have a such a tainted history in america would reverse racism exist?
