A Discussion About White Supremacy In The United States

[Markle]

Well at least Obama never declared that he was Pussy grabber, an adultery, bragged about his infidelities, called an entire country murders and rapist, and praises dictators and murders.

His entire life since birth is well documented. We know his dirt and he acknowledges it. He says whatever he wants when he wants. He is a businessman and not a politician. Businessmen get things done, politicians do not. They prolong anything so as to protect their life of leisure and entitlement, unlike a businessman where time is money.

That's why we voted for him and did not want a Mister Rogers.

Yes, and he accomplished nothing but creating a Caliphate for ISIS, invited Russia into Iraq and Crimea. He led the slowest economic recovery in our history also called Malaise.

 

[MarcATL]

He's an admitted former WS? SO you're painting again with that broad brush...

I have nothing in common with him, do you?

I honestly don't understand what you're trying to say here.

Can you, perhaps, restate it in another way?

So, why aren't Black incomes higher in Seattle, if racism is far less prevalent than most of the U.S.A?

What are the demographics for the level of education in Seattle?

The vast majority of employers look for the highest qualified, most dependable employee available regardless of race, color or religion. How is that racist?

Do you think this might have something to do with the incomes of blacks in Seattle?

Among the 200 biggest school districts in the U.S., Seattle has the fifth-biggest gap in achievement between black and white students. Seattle’s white-black gap is also the biggest in Washington.

White kids in Seattle’s public schools are doing great.

They’re performing about two grade levels above the national average on standardized exams. That finding comes from a sweeping new Stanford studyof 2009-2012 test scores from third- through eighth-grade students around the country.

But for black kids in Seattle, the data from that study paint a very different picture. They test one and a half grade levels below the U.S. average. Compared with their white peers in the city, black students lag by three and a half grade levels.

Seattle schools have biggest white-black achievement gap in state

The low black educational achievement in Seattle Public schools is easily explained. It is not a race issue, it's a housing issue.

Seattle is the fastest growing city of this decade of all major cities. People of all races are moving to Seattle. This has caused a huge increase in housing costs. As a result, lower income families can not afford housing in Seattle. When they move to Seattle, they stay with friends or in low priced motels while they look for housing in surrounding cities and towns.

The majority of black families that live in Seattle, live in South Seattle in low income subsided housing where crime rates are high and social problems including education, abound. Middle class black families live outside the city. So when you look at Seattle Schools, you see upper and middle income white students and low income black students. Middle class black families in Seattle are almost non-existent This of course occurs in other large cities but not to the extend that it does in Seattle. For example:
The average Seattle home is a 3 bedroom older home and sells for $753,000. The average 2 bedroom apt rents for $2400/mo. The problem is made even worst by the fact that low cost housing hardly even exist in the city. Comparing to other cities you listed in the Study, Seattle housing costs are over 70% higher than Atlanta and over twice as high as Charleston.

So, it's not racism?
I'm confused.

I can think of worse supremacies.

Did you know that White Supremacists have killed more Americans on American soil since 9/11, than were killed on 9/11? Did you know that?

Do you know that blacks have killed more blacks than white supemacists, 911 and every polcie department combined?

Well, by Liberal arguments there shouldn't be such a wide gap in Seattle between Blacks, and Whites, because that city lacks racism in comparison to most others.

Racism certainly exist in Seattle as in other cities. It's just a different kind of kind of racism, more passive. In places like Seattle or Portland with relatively few blacks, whites are less likely to feel threaten by blacks as they do in a city that's 60% black and less likely to see aggressive racism. The problem in cities with few blacks is that a black person is looked on as a bit of an oddity and there is no black culture as you might find in Atlanta or New Orleans. A black person that is raised in say a multi-racial family in a multi-racial community would probably like an environment like Seattle and find it lacked racism. However, a person raised in say Atlanta or New Orleans might well feel the very opposite due the lack of a black culture.

As I have said before, it is the racist attitudes and beliefs of the past that is the major problem today. The obstacles of say a 40 year old black man looking for a job will face will likely not be racial discrimination in seeking employment. It is the racist attitudes and believes he faced when he was younger and those his parents passed on to him which produced lower esteem as a child and below average performance in school and the workplace.

Seattle housing costs are over 70% higher than Atlanta and over twice as high as Charleston.

So blacks in Atlanta wont be trail whites educationally?

Wonder why Asian minorities dont suffer this gap?

If you look closely at Donald Trump's accomplishments you'll see that they are mostly tweets and outrageous statements. Being a Trump supporter, I'm sure you ignore that as well as the harm he has caused?

Different culture.

 

[Asclepias]

Wonder why Asian minorities dont suffer this gap?

Different culture.

Different and relatively undisturbed culture. Right now African immigrants are the highest educationally achieving demographic in the US.

African immigrants are more educated than most — including people born in U.S.

 

[Flopper]

Wonder why Asian minorities dont suffer this gap?

Different culture.

Most Asians that come to US today are high achievers and often have high strong academic backgrounds in technology which makes them strong candidates for top jobs.

I did. Didnt support what you said.

Those are the white South Africans fleeing the majority black government in South Africa. Still counted as African though.
