Zone1 Over 400 Years of Black Resistance Broken Down

ChristisKing I'm posting this because you created a thread in which you stated: "...Look, I get where she's coming from but only because I believe that she's been brainwashed to believe that black people are the victims as usual, which clearly indicates you don't know much about the history of the United States and the impact that the laws supporting white supremacy have had on Black people in the U.S.

Over 400 years of major milestones in the history of people of African descent in the United States is what this less than two minute video synopsis covers.


The resistance period is over. it ended during the 70's when the legal playing field was levelled, and the vestiges of legal discrimination were dismantled.

What should be happening is the growth and building period, not resistance anymore.
 
So, do we agree that the bad stuff that happened in the past can effect someone's life today unless they manage to hide their past?
Civilizations are affected with social engineering that keeps experimenting until it gets it right. And never will and does not have a good ending. I see no greatness in the thing's humanity needs to move into another era. We were sold on "a mind is a terrible thing to waste". We have spent trillions on proving it. And yet where is the science, the tech and industrial giants? Employing hundreds of thousands of people and more. I am no one special. And there are many better than me. A lot better. We have people from foreign lands coming here to start to reteach us things we used to do. We have given away our individual abilities to create greatness for our personal selfishness. The election over a week ago proves that. Progressive socialist women performing their destruction of the west act know not what they do.

No, because slavery and Jim Crow etc. has ZERO CONNECTION to people who chose to be Racists or chose to have racial stereotypes today. None of us were alive when those policies were in place.

I've been to the Jim Crow South. In my Northern city, when I was a child Blacks couldn't live in my neighborhood, didn't matter how rich they were. If you think todays racists are not the heirs of yesterday's segregationists, you're either lying, naïve, or just dumb.
 
Bad stuff happened in the past. That has no effect on anyone's life today unless one allows the past to affect them.
Yeah as our Islamist congresswoman said after 9/11 'some people did some bad things.'

In my city, most people voted Progressive in my old neighborhood. When African Americans moved in the loudest white residents of virtuous equality moved out first. My parent stayed as the neighborhood changed. She was attacked at a bus stop waiting to go to work as some kids wanted her purse once and was eyed down constantly from younger African Americans. It was not so much wanting to move as having to do so.
 
How do you explain so many poor white people? How do you explain so many rich, successful black people? Sure the .1% make sure their offspring are taken care of, the rest of everyone else has to face meritocracy. Unfortunately many people are lazy and would rather develop dependencies on alcohol and drugs than fight for their share of the pie. You can't do anything about your genetics at your birth, but from that point on, your life depends on making the right choices. Make enough bad choices and you have to look for excuses, like racism and billionaires. Make enough good choices and you can become part of the .1%.
1 in 10-12 whites are poor. 1 in 4-5 blacks are poor. You guys pick and choose per capita, that's why I say it's bunk when you guys bring it up about crime. There are more than 20 million black households; 400 are worth a million or more. Whites have way more millionaires and billionaires. I get tired of whites like you. Because you don't know the facts and you're always looking for ways to deny white racism and white privilege, even as you exhibit the behavior. We don't need to be lectured about choices from people who continue making the worst choice America has made, whites who choose to be racist.

The problem with Mike is that he wants to tell everybody that racism is in the past while he is a racist today.

Do Asians blame their success in life on their skin color? You want to blame your failure in life on your skin color. You are a failure because you constantly make bad choices. If you were white you would still be a failure and probably blaming Trump for all your bad choices. No one would ever believe a word you say unless the democrap party didn't desperately need your vote and lie to you telling you it's not your fault in exchange for party loyalty. The naked truth is, it is YOUR fault that you are a failure and the democrap party is making sure you make bad choices repeatedly in life to maintain your vote. Let that sink in for a bit.

Says the biggest racist on USMB. You are keeping racism alive so you can have something to blame your failures in life on.
 
Not really true:

White-sounding names get called back for jobs more than Black ones, a new study finds

We study race in the labor market by sending fictitious resumes to help-wanted ads in Boston and Chicago newspapers. To manipulate perceived race, resumes are randomly assigned African-American- or White-sounding names. White names receive 50 percent more callbacks for interviews. Callbacks are also more responsive to resume quality for White names than for African-American ones. The racial gap is uniform across occupation, industry, and employer size. We also find little evidence that employers are inferring social class from the names. Differential treatment by race still appears to still be prominent in the U. S. labor market.m

Maybe it's because Whites don't use half the alphabet to spell their first name.

You want to think it is the black names that turn off potential employers. Potential employers want to avoid ghetto culture in their organization. Keep naming your children with obvious ghetto culture names like Bonnetisha and even black companies are going to pass on that resume. What you call racism is just people trying to avoid ghetto culture. White people don't cross the street when the see blacks in gangsta' clothing because of hate, it is because of fear. Your culture is killing your reputation, not your color. Here's a novel idea for the black community: Be socially better than white culture. Be more educated, more sophisticated, and more friendly than white people. Trust me, it won't be that hard. White culture is nothing to brag about today.
 
Having existed for a while I find these constant efforts to re-write or ignore reality fascinating. Most people live in bubble reality - a bubble that protects them from reality.

You make a point. Trillions and trillions of dollars have been spent to make things right. All levels of government are involved. Federal, state, city, local, regional and anything else where resources are gotten. There are abuses of programs from residents meant to uplift them. Single parents with African American women voting 92% for Progressives is a death wish and keeps neighborhoods in violent and survival mode.

Understood. It is OK to assume that all Blacks are ghetto, regardless of their resume. I guess it is OK to assume all Italians are mafioso and all Irishmen are drunks. Got it.

90% of blacks are ghetto despite any resume. It’s a culture.
I live within that culture. Median income here is 30% higher than the national average but a prevailing ghetto culture that drives up crime and drives down schools and neighborhoods.
