In some ways Asians are superior to Whites. Asians have higher IQ. do better in schools, and are less prone to crime than White people are. Am I supposed to lie about reality because I'm White and would rather whites were better than Asians in this way? Being a man is seeing reality and accepting facts and truth, not trying to concoct elaborate conspiracy theories in a pathetic attempt to cover unpleasant reality.
Because doing nothing was the policy of the US government and all the airlines because before 9/11 airline hijackings almost never resulted in the death of passengers and crew, usually a ransom was paid, or prisoners were released (to be recaptured later along with the hijackers) and everyone went home safely). (9/11 changed that) and to refute your point look at Flight 97, when it became obvious that the planes were being used as cruise missiles, the mostly white passengers attacked the hijackers even though the passengers had no weapons at all and knew the hijackers would likely crash the plane rather than allow it to be recaptured. The attack was planned and led by a white guy, he's the one on tape saying "let's roll". Blacks would have done no better and likely worse. I've never heard of a black man getting up in the face of hijackers on any plane or even ship that was captured. They obeyed the hijacker's and crew's orders just like the rest of the passengers. Of the forty passengers and crew of Flight 97, there was a Black pilot/copilot and two Black stewardesses (at least the photos show them wearing what appear to be airline uniforms). So the people who attacked the hijackers were all unarmed whites. Another thing you ignore, a box cutter is just as dangerous as a straight razor; both are slashing weapons and a box cutter has a sharper edge.
You really are an asshole.
Even your talking points are wrong. Even in the deep south black people owned property and businesses. In the north it was common for black people to own property and businesses. You act like the deep south was the norm at the time. It wasn't. That's why WHITES in congress blocked the expansion of slavery into the new western and northern states. That's why WHITES risked their lives and livelihoods running the Underground Railroad getting escaped slaves into the northern states and Canada. You are so full of hatred that you are blind to all the good whites have done for blacks since the importation of slaves was banned by WHITES in 1808. The whites in the northern states would have done more, but until the late 1850s the south controlled congress and the white house largely by being able to count it's slaves as three fifths of a person in the census. The southerners wanted to count each slave as a whole person for census purposes while otherwise treating them as cattle, the WHITE northerners didn't want slaves counted in the census at all. The three fifths was a compromise that the slave owning southerners won, after all, three fifths of a person towards the award of congressional seats is better than none. All you and the other idiots like you see is the evil SOME whites did, never the good that other WHITES did. Whites marched right alongside blacks in the civil rights marches, WHITE congressman voted for the civil rights legislation, WHITE congressmen, state legislators and governors passed the 13th and 14th Amendments freeing slaves and giving them rights. There were no black elected high officials back then, so all the advancements came from principled WHITE men. Since 1808 white men have stood alongside you doing as much as they could to help blacks gain freedom and equality. In an ideal world more could have been done, but an ideal world doesn't exist. Stop complaining about what WASN'T done, appreciate what WAS done and work towards reducing the divisions between us and making the lives of black Americans better rather than widening the gulf between us.
You are an idiot with no clue-----147 years ago when SOME blacks were slaves in America---other blacks were free people who owned quit a bit actually including other blacks. Some were very wealthy in fact.
"The Democrats have been fooling blacks for 60 years. Give them a little welfare, tell them the White Man is keeping them down and blacks keep voting for Democrats."
Slavery is said to have ended in 1863. Because Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation, blacks sided with the republican party. From 1863 until 1936, 73 years, blacks voted and specifially supported the republican party. What did blacks get in return from the republican party after the emancipation proclamation?
Can any republican here answer that?
In 1936 because of a broken promise by a republican president to include blacks in his administration and to provide southern blacks with lands that white farmers gave up on during the Mississippi flood, a leading black republican left the party and millions of blacks followed him.
Still some blacks remained faithful to the republican party for the next 28 years when republicans nominated a man who opposed the 1964 civil rights act, and at the point in his nomination address when he declared that extremism in defense of liberty is no vice, he cemented a black exodus from the republican party.
All told that's 101 years that blacks supported the republican party, and the party did nothing for blacks after the emancipation proclamation. All during Jim Crow blacks were republicans. Republicans did not desegregate the military or end jim crow in public accomodations. Blacks blindly voted for republicans for most of that 101 years because they are the party that Abraham Lincoln belonged to.
"The problems blacks face are because of their own choices, not legislation made by whites. Blacks don't see this and fall for lies told by democrats and black activists who have an agenda."
Aside from the fact that my opinion has not been formed by reading right wing websites, but by actual experience dealing with creating programs and assistance that meets the parameters of public policy, the facts have been proven by whites themselves. So let me repost these facts compiled by CITIGROUP.
Since 2000, U.S. gross domestic product lost that much as a result of discriminatory practices in a range of areas, including in education and access to business loans, according to a new study by Citigroup. Specifically, the study came up with $16 trillion in lost GDP by noting four key racial gaps between African Americans and whites:
$13 trillion lost in potential business revenue because of discriminatory lending to African American entrepreneurs, with an estimated 6.1 million jobs not generated as a result
$2.7 trillion in income lost because of disparities in wages suffered by African Americans
$218 billion lost over the past two decades because of discrimination in providing housing credit
And $90 billion to $113 billion in lifetime income lost from discrimination in accessing higher education
Now to say that the root cause of the problems blacks face is white racism, gets a person a load of crazy, but as these numbers show, blacks have lost income and jobs because of racial discrimination since the year 2000. Not 1850, not 1900 and not 1950. Now blacks are NOT discriminating against each other, so then if white racism isn't the root cause of this what is?
Cost Of Racism: U.S. Economy Lost $16 Trillion Because Of Discrimination, Bank Says
Citigroup estimates the economy would see a $5 trillion boost over the next five years if the U.S. were to tackle key areas of discrimination against African Americans.www.npr.org

Everything you’re complaining about happened to other immigrant and ethnic groups, they all buckled down, got their kids educated and rose above it. Many blacks succeed despite obstacles. All blacks as a group need to do to succeed is to follow their examples. Get an education, don’t have kids that you can’t afford to support, work hard and ignore people who want you to look at the past instead of the future. Every group on earth has past grievances, but they don’t allow themselves to be hobbled by them like American blacks do. Black people get treated like criminals because, like the Italians and Irish before them, a large percentage are. That’s also why they get harsher sentences in court and special attention from cops; behavior of other black people has conditioned judges and cops to expect bad behavior. In the sixties and seventies things were getting better, hell, since WWII things were getting better. What happened? Whites have gotten far more liberal over that time, why have blacks gotten more hostile? When I was in the army in the early seventies we had a lot of blacks, most were great guys and got in no more trouble than the rest of us over testosteroned teenagers. There were a few jerks that talked like you, but everyone, especially the other blacks, ignored and isolated them. What happened in the last fifty years to make the majority of blacks behave like the few jerks I knew? Whites aren’t your problem, even the tiny minority of racist whites aren’t your problem. Nobody can help you more that they already have, YOU need to figure out what has happened inside the black community over the last fifty years and fix it. Finally, stop looking back for past injustices and look forward for opportunities. That’s what everyone else has done.Turtlesoup
Even your talking points are wrong.

I'm not really concerned about 1 or 2 white people who may have given a black man a biscuit.
White people do not get too off code when it comes to fighting systematic white supremacy.
Yes they may be kind to a black individual but white supremacy is a GROUP SPORT.
It's white silence and collaboration that has always made racism possible. If whites had, in large numbers challenge white supremacy, there is no way that such a system could have been maintained. But white silence and inaction has given strength to the racists, whether on radio or in corporate offices, or government positions, or police uniforms.
Slaveowners would have been powerless had the whites who didn’t own slaves stood up to them. So too with segregationists.

I don't hate white people and if the shoe was the other foot, whites would have a murderous rage towards black people. It's been my experience that blacks ppl (as a group) are FAR TOO NICE and forgiving of white people

Look. What happened is back in the day whites did really obvious things. They put up signs that said whites only.
This got whites into sh*t.
The 14th Amendment doesn't allow for anyone to be treated differently because of their race. So after court losses, demo's and riots, white people got the message : If you're going to be a racist, better find a way to do it with a smile on your face.
So now whites still get the plum jobs, double the pay, and a seat in the front of the bus to happiness and success.
White supremacists have rigged the system from birth, guaranteeing that black people will go to the worst schools, thus preventing us from admission to the best colleges, so all your left with black people making your caffe lattes and big macs and picking up your trash.
Oh, sure, a few slip by
But they pay an extra tariff - The black doc driving his BMW gets pulled over by the cops; the black broker is the first to be laid off because of "seniority".
White supremacists deserve an award for this. They love to say "We are an equal opportunity employer" it's good for a laugh because you know there's no way a black person is going to get the job and they always make sure they put their lone black employee up at the front reception desk so they can say, "See - we don't discriminate. We hire black people !!"
Turtlesoup

Yeah sure they stand along side black people and run their asses bk to the burbs. Some whites will marche blk ppl because they know it's ineffective when it comes to systematic white supremacy.
For all the good white people you claim there are.
The fact is Black people in America can expect to have a hard time finding a job, and be paid less for it when we do get it.
We can expect to have a harder time getting a loan, and pay a higher price when we do.
Blk ppl can expect to have a harder time finding an apartment or a house, which may make it more likely that they end up in a “certain neighborhood,” which can reduce their access to investment, reduce the quality of their children’s education,
Blk ppl can expect to be viewed and treated as dangerous criminals, hail a taxi, or even move into a neighborhood.
Black ppl can expect to have a hard time getting accepted to college and receive the same treatment from professors and advisors once they’re there.
Black people can expect that an officer with an attitude problem or a quota to fill might arrest them on bogus charges, or maybe even plant evidence.
Black peoplel can expect police officers to operate under the assumption that they are guilty, and they can expect to be railroaded by the justice system—even to the point of being forced to take guilty pleas when they are innocent.
This will happen even if black people are doing their best to do everything right.
God forbid if a blk person should make a mistake.
Then Blk ppl can expect to be treated as criminals by teachers, given harsher sentences (longer suspensions, quicker expulsions, etc., both of which remove them from school and expose them to the gang element in their neighborhood).
Blk ppl can expect to be arrested, charged, convicted, and imprisoned for offenses that a large percentage of whites consider part of “being a teenager” or a college student.
We can expect stiffer charges, higher conviction rates, and longer sentences.
The Irish, Italians and Chinese faced at least as much opposition as modern blacks. They all succeeded.

Especially when those same (black) people are still under attack by white supremacists who seem to devote the majority of their time and energies to making sure black people stay inferior via inferior living environments, education, healthcare, food quality, water quality, unemployment, endless promotion of destructive programming and stereotyping via the white mainstream media (TV and films and music they control), deliberate drug infestations,and police terror tactics, and excessive and unjust incarcerations

Exactly - White supremacist provide school kids with profoundly unstandardized educations and they brag "By GOD !!! We don't have big government running the schools. By god !! We delineate all that to the local level !! We let them choose their own curriculum. We believe in local control !! We believe in property tax funding of K-12 education !! We don't want big central bad federal government doing educations"
Like they do in every country that the USA compares themselves with and beats them on every international test.
But the USA would rather every village run their own school
So you have a system with profoundly unstandardized schools, profoundly unstandardized financial resources, profoundly unstandardized teaching training, profoundly unstandardized curriculum.
And then you give the kids what ? A standardized test
And then ppl act shocked when at the end of an unstandardized process all the kids coming through don't do equally as well and you say to those who didn't do as well (who will disproportionately be black of low income because who those are ones who are likely to go to the schools without those equal resources) that "You can't go to that college" "You can't to this uni" "Matter of fact you can't go to any college at all" "You're not that smart"

Your answers reveal your bullshit. Give it up, you don't want equality, I don't know what the hell you want, but it isn't equality. You see racism and white supremacy everywhere. It doesn't exist to the extent you imagine. All I did was show what I did and what I was expected to do and ask why black mothers don't expect the same from their kids and you see it as white supremacy. You're hopeless. Black education results show that black mothers AREN'T demanding their kids get educated, that's a fact, not opinion or anything subject to interpretation. If your schools aren't educating your kids, why aren't you electing school board members who promise to fix things and then holding their feet to the fire so they follow through with their promises. Schools are controlled at the local level, any parent can attend school board meetings and demand answers and change. DO IT. Demand the school boards do their jobs, if they refuse to, vote them out and elect new people until you find ones that WILL educate your kids. Don't expect me to change things for you, I don't live in your neighborhood.AZrailwhale

Being black did not stop them even during slavery, and whites did not stop them from making money......many of them worked hard and developed SKILLS which allowed them to profit often within the black community itself. Whether it was running speak easies, selling makeup targeted for black women, or owning a shop that sold merchandise to blacks---many blacks did quit well.

Black ppl can expect to have a hard time getting accepted to college and receive the same treatment from professors and advisors once they’re there.
Black people can expect that an officer with an attitude problem or a quota to fill might arrest them on bogus charges, or maybe even plant evidence.
Black peoplel can expect police officers to operate under the assumption that they are guilty, and they can expect to be railroaded by the justice system—even to the point of being forced to take guilty pleas when they are innocent.

Then Blk ppl can expect to be treated as criminals by teachers, given harsher sentences (longer suspensions, quicker expulsions, etc., both of which remove them from school and expose them to the gang element in their neighborhood).
Blk ppl can expect to be arrested, charged, convicted, and imprisoned for offenses that a large percentage of whites consider part of “being a teenager” or a college student.
