Intelligent people can self educate...........If you listen to negro street thug rapper 'music' in which the word ****** is habitually used are you a racist?
If you inadvertently hear someone use the 'word' and don't attack the speaker immediately are you a racist?
According to the Jew hating assholes at the NYT you are.
Read the column the New York Times didn’t want you to see
Last weekend, New York Times columnist Bret Stephens wrote a piece criticizing the rationale behind the forced ouster of Times reporter Donald G. McNeil Jr., but it was never published. Stephens to…nypost.com
Racism is either a frivolous charge, a juvenile invective, aimed at any you don’t like, or an actual crime that involves injuring someone…not just their feelings.
If you function as the Nazis and Bolsheviks did, any thought crime must be punished. If you are an American, you allow a difference of opinion: it is our birthright under the first amendment.
You're right it isn't against the law to be a racist.
Nor is claiming such a valid excuse for failure.
Another significant characteristic that holds blacks back is not honoring those who have succeeded....the 'acting white,' 'Uncle Tom,' thing.
John McWorter has written about it as well.
As does Joseph Phillips
Clarence Page of the Chicago Trib say this on one of the Sunday shows, how blacks will pull down one who succeeds.
"Crab mentality, sometimes referred to as crabs in the bucket, is a phrase that describes a way of thinking best described by the phrase "if I can't have it, neither can you." The metaphor refers to a pot of crabs. Individually, the crabs could easily escape from the pot, but instead, they grab at each other in a useless "king of the hill" competition which prevents any from escaping and ensures their collective demise"
Crab mentality - Wikipedia the free encyclopedia
You need some new material. I have never heard black folks attack a black person who is smart as acting "white". How many black folks have you ever heard say that to another black person? When black folks accuse another black person of acting "white" it is someone black who doesn't want to associate with other black folks. We don't have to worry about it though, because white folks like you quickly show them who they are.
" I have never heard black folks attack a black person who is smart as acting "white".
I'm not responsible for either your ignorance nor your lying.
I just gave you two books by blacks who said that, and Clarence Page is black, as well.
And here is the Smithsonian warning blacks not to 'act white.'
“The chart endeavors to list "the ways white people and their traditions, attitudes and ways of life have been normalized over time and are now considered standard practices in the United States." Among those traditions, attitudes, and ways of life are: Individualism, hard work, objectivity, the nuclear family, a belief in progress, a written tradition, politeness, the justice system, respect for authority, delayed gratification and planning for the future, plus much more.” Smithsonian Goes Full Marxist: Nuclear Family, Science, Christianity All Part of Oppressive 'Whiteness'
I'm not white, and my folks taught me to be all of those characteristics.
You didn't answer may question. I don't need to read a book, I am a black man in America I live it everyday.
"I don't need to read a book,"
And herein we find the explanation for what passes for thought on your side.
There is nothing like personal experience, which you have NONE. I have asked you a question 2 times and you keep referring me to a book. I haven't heard black folks who strive for higher education being told by other black folks that they are "acting white".
The colleges are never going to make anyone smarter.
I've been to the finest schools....but have found my most significant education came on my own.
