Are Blacks More Racist Than Whites? Most Americans Say Yes

[MizMolly]

It is disingenuous at this point in time to pretend that white people today still support segregation policies that they fought against and repealed multiple generations ago.

It is disingenuous at this point in time to pretend that white people today still support segregation policies that they fought against and repealed multiple generations ago.

It also makes a mockery of the bravery and sacrifice of those whites, who did that, at a time when taking a stand against white racism was actually brave.

This is an odd response to the question I asked as to why if people want to be segregated would they then turn around and criticize those African Americans you seek out other African Americans for support and label them as racist. We know that this country was legally segregated and then desegregated against the will of a significant portion of the population. And we also know that today we have all of these individuals on these message boards complaining about what African Americans now have that they are not a part of presumably because they didn't want to have anything to do with us. So what is there to complain about now unless they just don't want black people to have ANYTHING of their own?

I believe everyone has the right to pursue their dreams. Nobody is holding anyone back but themselves. There was segregation by those whites who chose to make these horrible laws and rules. That is in the past. Is racism over? No, but not every disadvantage is caused by racism. Not every job denied is caused by racism, etc.

I've never seen anyone of these boards complaining of what blacks have today.

Nor, any hint that anyone doesn't want blacks to have "ANYTHING of their own"

Do you see it huh? You have Taz on ignore?

If you go back to around page 30 which is roughly where I came into the conversation, they're complaining about black people having black music awards, black history month, Black Lives Matter, etc. while in other on-line conversations I've heard them complain about (as previously stated) the NAACP, Black Entertainment TV (BET), black beauty pageants, just a to name a few that I can readily remember.

However there are lots of professional organizations that are never mentioned maybe because they're just not aware of them, they'd probably be complaining them too if they knew about them.

So yeah, if they don't want black people to participate in their organization or activities yet still complain when black people organize their own it makes them look like they don't want black people to have anything of their own. Why would they even care about what any of us own or participate in or associate with?

 

[NewsVine_Mariyam]

No, but not every disadvantage is caused by racism. Not every job denied is caused by racism, etc.

You should try telling that to all of the white people who honestly believe that "unqualified" black people are taking jobs away from "eminently more qualified white people" due to affirmative action.

I did go back.

Taz discussed how blacks have won awards in various NOT black award programs and seemed to support that.

You keep going back to "they don't want black people to participate in their organizations".


That has not been true for several generations now.


You really need to face that.

Although it was wrong, slavery was legal and was worldwide throughout history

Some posters don't believe it to be true that Africans sold their own into slavery. Although it was wrong, slavery was legal and was worldwide throughout history

Are you aware of the fact that Africa is a continent not a country? That just because two people are black doesn't mean they are kin - they may be from different countries or even tribes within the same country that does not mean that just because they're both black that they're the same.

If Canada invaded the United States, stole a bunch of white people and sold them to slave traders in Norway, would you consider the Canadians as having sold their own people?

And the fact that chattel slavery was ever legal in this country is much more of a commentary of the people who participated in and allowed it than on the people enslaved. It was not "wrong", it was a heinous and sadistic institution that laid the foundation for the treatment of people of African descent that continues to this day.

My post was referring to the mind thought, apparently, that the United States is the only place on earth to ever have slaves or to oppress people. It has been done forever, worldwide. What does Africa being a continent have to do with anything?

It has everything tp do with the conversation. Africa is a continent full of nations of people who are not related. You made the claim about Irish based on the belief that the Irish were slave. But you wouldn't daresay hat whites sold each other into slavery. You will be able to say the English sold the Irish into slavery and then claim not all whites did hat. But you can't do that for Africa. A Nigerian may have sold a person from Ghana and that's how they saw it. However at same time whites bought them. And even worse, you don't want to admit was how whites would arm one tribe so they could win a conflict then pay them for their captives.

You live in he US so the excuse you started off this post with just doesn't cut it..It doesn't matter that slaves have been owned forever, slavery has been wrong forever. No other slavery in history was the chattel slavery we had here. People could actually work their way out of slavery in past societies. Finally the cowardice of those like you is apparent when you continue to avoid discussing what happed after slavery ended.

Black skin gets you 230 points of discrimination in ivy league admissions.

Did it ever occur to you that the best of Candidate Pool B far exceeds the worse of Candidate Pool A?

White people were denied promotion based on the color of their skin.

That is the result of AA and civil rights, as it is now practiced.

This is a very interesting case but it is not a case where "unqualified" black people took jobs from "qualified" white people. No black people were hired/promoted so no white people were displaced except for the 6 which were unable to qualify for promotion.

I'm starting to remember a little bit more about this case and there were issues with the exam that was used to qualify the firefighters for promotion - part was subjective while the other part was objective. Additionally if I recall correctly some of the white fire fighters had access to materials that appeared on the test so that they could specifically prepare for it which of course allows one to score higher, but I'll have to revisit this later.

I havent avoided anything. Yes, slavery is and always has been wrong.

If this is not true and hasn't been for generations then why are there people on this message board TODAY April 15th 2018 still complaining about things that black people participate in and cultivate for themselves such as Black History Month and Black Lives Matter, etc.?

You keep stating that this isn't happening but that simply is not true.

Here is Taz complaining about Black History Month and Black Music Awards
Are Blacks More Racist Than Whites? Most Americans Say Yes

Here is Taz making the statement that focusing on one race is "racist" while failing to realize that the definition of racism includes a belief that one's own race is superior to that of others.
Are Blacks More Racist Than Whites? Most Americans Say Yes

Here is Taz comparing the terrorist organization the Ku Klux Klan to the Black Lives Matter organization which was born out of the distress due to the disproportionate amount of black men dying at the hands of law enforcement
Are Blacks More Racist Than Whites? Most Americans Say Yes

Why is Taz so concerned with what black people are doing that doesn't concern non-blacks? Usually the pretext with individuals who play this angle is that some how, something that black people are doing is taking away from whites [edited] or poses some type of danger of threat to the rest of society [/edited]. This is the constant refrain we hear time and time again yet they somehow are never able to produce any evidence to support their claims other than isolated incidents of the nature that occur to everyone as opposed to systemic, legalized and repetitive patterns and practices which either have been written law or are the remnants of the effects of the close to a century of racially discriminatory legislation put into place for the betterment of whites and generally at the expense of blacks.

 

[NewsVine_Mariyam]

Let's see if NewsVine_Mariyam has the integrity to acknowledge that you proved him wrong.

I've addressed it here
Are Blacks More Racist Than Whites? Most Americans Say Yes

This document below appears to be a transcript of a hearing in which the exam administrated to the firefighters is being discussed. Are either of you familiar with Title VII or the concept of disparate impact? Or know whether or not this was the first time this test or a test of this type was used?

I'm not moving anywhere. YOU, will face the 100 years after slavery that you are too scared to discuss.

When it is said we talk about a history of racist laws and policy many do not understand the full extent of what is meant. According to the 13th Amendment, "Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, nor any place subject to their jurisdiction."I think people really need to understand the impact of the underlined words. Blacks were arrested, tried, found guilty and sent to prison for crimes such as vagrancy, cussing in front of whites, jaywalking and other minor or non offenses for whites. Because of this, they could be returned to slavery and were. There has been no amendment to change this part of the 13th Amendment meaning that in reality slavery still exists in America today.

Employment was required of all freedmen; violators faced vagrancy charges

•Freedmen could not assemble without the presence of a white person

•Freedmen were assumed to be agricultural workers and their duties and hours were tightly regulated

•Freedmen were not to be taught to read or write

•Public facilities were segregated

•Violators of these laws were subject to being whipped or branded.

And sent back into slavery. Just think about it, a black person could be convicted of not being employed and sent back into slavery along with many other things. Far too many people want to argue about things said without an understanding of the depth and length of things that have occurred and continue to occur.

The decisions made by the supreme court in these cases began what we call today states rights. The decision was that the federal government could not interfere in how the states did things. If an act of racism happened in a state that was a state concern, not a federal one. So while slavery was illegal by written law, while rights were not to be denied by race, whites found a way around those amendments to continue practicing racism. In 1896 the whites of this nation insured that racial segregation would be the law. This was done by Plessy V. Ferguson. So while slavery was no longer legal by constitutional amendment meaning blacks or anyone of color could not be denied rights, because of Plessy v Ferguson they could be separated and reduced to second class citizenship. So laws were written, but whites found another way to practice the same racism.

That law existed in schools until 1954 by written decree and even after the Brown case whites school districts refused to follow the law until well in the 1970's. Plessy was socially practiced until 1965 by written law but even after the Civil Rights Act, there were whites who refused to follow the law until into the mid to late 1980s. But cowards want to talk about slavery like that's the end of it all.

So now it's racist to ask for a month for your own color/race?

You have 11 months.

So can we ask for a specific month? How about some White Music Awards? You down with that?

You have that already. It's called the American Music Awards, and you got the Country Music awards. You have 11 months of white history. You are talking stupid. And this is what I think of your ignorance

I have heard whites crying about Miss Black America. The usual whining is how unfair it is and how the outcry would be huge if whites had a pageant that was named Miss White America. What do they think the pageant was from 1921 until 1970 when no one of color was allowed to compete in the pageant? It was not until 1970 that there was a black contestant, Miss Cheryl Brown. So then it was apparent the pageant was for whites only. For 50 years it was the Miss White America Pageant. Now just because white people didn’t call it that doesn’t mean that wasn’t what it was. It took until 1983 for a woman of color to win the pageant and these two things alone were why there was and is a Miss Black USA. Are whites that blind to the things they have done to think they are not included just because they did not expressly name something the white this or that even while excluding anyone not white?

Whites are crying about Historically Black Colleges. But then just because you call yourself Harvard doesn’t exclude the fact that you are historically white. I can say that for almost every university, private or public in this country. Blacks built colleges because we weren’t allowed into historically white colleges and today just because whites don’t call these colleges exactly what they are, they cry about HBCU’s like there is no such things as an HWCU.

Whites began whining about the NAACP and white civil rights. They believe that whites are losing their civil rights. How do you figure? What rights have whites lost? Somebody help me see it! Because of the vivid imagination of some whites we see white rights organizations popping up. Whites actually formed an organization called the National Association for the Advancement of White People. Yes, the NAAWP. I can go on and on with how whites whine about how non whites have had to create their own organizations and celebrations based upon our race and culture because whites refused to allow non whites to be part of American culture. I am writing this in the 21st century and it’s high time whites stopped lying to themselves about how things have been done in the United States.

More.

For years ABC might have well stood for American Broadcasting for Caucasians. NBC, National Broadcasting for Caucasians and CBS the Caucasian Broadcasting Service. The lack of black reporters news anchors, news shows and entertainment broadcast on these networks is why Black Entertainment Television was founded.

Stop crying son, whites have those things already.

Blacks have won AMAs and CMAs. As for White History Month, there is none. Time to change your diaper, looks like it's full.

11 months are white history month. I believe we'll get reparations before you get white history month. Most whites are not culturally incompetent idiots like you.

So how much reparations $$$ would you be happy with?

So can we ask for a specific month? How about some White Music Awards? You down with that?

You have that already. It's called the American Music Awards, and you got the Country Music awards. You have 11 months of white history. You are talking stupid. And this is what I think of your ignorance

I have heard whites crying about Miss Black America. The usual whining is how unfair it is and how the outcry would be huge if whites had a pageant that was named Miss White America. What do they think the pageant was from 1921 until 1970 when no one of color was allowed to compete in the pageant? It was not until 1970 that there was a black contestant, Miss Cheryl Brown. So then it was apparent the pageant was for whites only. For 50 years it was the Miss White America Pageant. Now just because white people didn’t call it that doesn’t mean that wasn’t what it was.

hmmmmm.......I'm seein' you with a Styrofoam cup, movin' through the subway cars.


Could be?

I'm seeing myself in the house I own, watching the NBA playoffs while posting with a nice bottle of green tea to sip on. And I work for myself.

In short, I've done better than you, am well educated and am calling scum like you out on your racism. So be quiet because you claim be Asian and I suspect you are Japanese. That means you got reparations. So I guess your plastic cup makes you better than me.

If you were successful, you wouldn't be so angry all the time. Truth.

Being racist when you protest kinda defeats the purpose, but you all are too dim to see that.

Maybe you should take your own advice and do a dictionary look-up

racist [rey-sist]
noun
1. a person who believes in racism, the doctrine that one's own racial group is superior or that a particular racial group is inferior to the others.
​

Every time a white person complains about anything that is "for" black people, even under circumstances where this was the only way for black people to participate in similar activities as whites that they were oftentimes legally excluded from, this is what they fail to consider - that racism isn't just being for or against a particular race, but the inherent belief in the superiority of one's own race and the inferiority of those not of one's own race.

The United States of America passed legislation that placed the rights of people of African descent (free or slave as long as they were black it made no difference) on a lower level than those of white people <----- This is racism, written into law and then woven into the fabric of society. This is what is meant by institutional racism.

If a crime committed against a black person is not considered a crime but the same crime committed against a white person is considered a crime <-------- This is racism.

You're using words without having any understanding of their meaning and no understanding of the context of the discussion. Are there any laws that place black people in a position of authority over white people in society solely due to their race? Because if not how could you or anyone else possibly arrive at the conclusion that black people are more racists than whites when our country was founded upon the racist beliefs that whites were superior to blacks and blacks were meant to be subservient to whites?

Because you're living in the past. These days, blacks are more outwardly racist than any other race, and the rest of us let them get away with it. See how nice we are?
