Michelle Obama: GOP is "ALL MEN, ALL WHITE"...Is she racist or stupid?

Okay, but the question is do people bring on those prejudices against blacks or do blacks bring that onto themselves? After all, prejudice means to pre-judge.
It goes both ways. There are problems in black culture that perpetuate the stereotypes and there are also deep rooted prejudice in our culture that has not yet been filtered out

Care to give me any examples of that?
Really? You haven't seen or experience any kind of racism towards blacks in this country. Take a trip to the south and visit a local dive bar. The N word is alive and well and the confederate flag is still flying in many peoples minds, it is pretty sickening. Or just explore this board for a bit you wont have to go very far

Even you yourself admitted that any trace of racism against blacks in this country is self-inflicted.

Is it skin color or behavior that brings on this racism? Let's use some imagination, shall we?

Let's say blacks were renown for their work ethic, their family values, their obsession with cleanliness and order. They are people renown for their total support of law enforcement, and they are obsessed with proper English. They had American names like Don, Bob, Susan. They dressed to fit into any society, quiet, respectful towards others.

Do you really think that there would be any so-called racism or prejudice in this country towards blacks?
The problem is people who think they've "got it," that they're "woke." But they do not in any way understand the impact slavery and Jim Crow had on the black community. Passing the Civil Rights Act and Affirmative Action is not a magic wand that it is going to make that impact magically disappear over night.

Things are getting better, but you need to hear the real stories of what really happens when you are a black person in this country, and what has happened to their family members before them. It influences attitudes, ya know, when your father is taken out and lynched.

So you're saying that we have a group of people in this country who's fathers were lynched? Those are very few and far between. Many don't even know their father.

I'm sorry, but I just don't buy into a person not getting a job because of their grandfather. I don't buy a person going on public assistance because of their grandmother. I don't buy that a person does not do well in school because of what his friend "said" the cops did to him. I don't believe that people irresponsibly have children because they think they were deprived of better schools.

Like I said earlier, all excuses. People come here from other countries who can tell you what real poverty is; digging a hole in the back to take a dump. Eating three times a week. Watching neighbors die of diseases they couldn't treat. Yet they come here with a few bucks in their pockets, work night and day, open up their own business or buy into a franchise, and become more successful than many natives who use excuses.
 
She's both.

And she is fugly, inside and out.

Here's a picture of the white house staff swearing in.

Count the number of white men, white women, and blacks.

The circles indicate firings and resignations.
 
Trump's cabinet is mostly white and male. What will that mean for policy?

Trump’s cabinet is mostly white and male.
So far, only three of Trump’s 13 cabinet picks are not white men: Ben Carson, Trump’s nominee for the Department of Housing and Urban Development, Elaine Chao for labor secretary and Betsy Devos for education department.


the president-elect’s 17 cabinet-level picks have a net worth of at least $9.5 billion — that’s more money than the poorest third of Americans

Do you have a point with all this or what??????

Far more Polish Catholics were killed in Poland in WW2,, than Blacks were lynched, by about 1,000 X.

Poland's statistically about on par with Europe, or even performing better than the European average when it comes to murder, crime, IQ, Pisa scores, single mothers, etc.

None of which is true for African Americans
