The Reason Why There Are Black Institutions In America, Is Racism

[Jackson]

I've seen many a righting USMB poster claim, nonsensically, that such-and-such black institution is racist. Showing their ignorance in the process.

The reason why these institutions, organizations and/or business were setup in the first place...is racism.

From the schools to culture, to everything else. Blacks were historically shut-out and/or simply ignored, so there was no choice but to set them up.

HBCUs were created because the institutions of higher learning simply wouldn't accept black students, so HBCUs were created to give black students the opportunity to obtain higher education when virtually no other colleges would.

The Oscars, black talent was simply ignored.

The Grammys, same thing.

The NAACP. founded in 1909, was created to ensure the political, educational, social, and economic equality of rights of all persons and to eliminate race-based discrimination.

And so on, and so on, and so forth. These institutions, business and/or organizations were setup because of American racism. Racism that still persists today, in various forms.

Only an ignorant fool would fix their face or slam their gums to suggest that these institutions, by default, are racist. It's the height of ignorance and, quite frankly, shows the racism of the person expressing such an asinine view.

"From the schools to culture, to everything else. Blacks were historically shut-out and/or simply ignored, so there was no choice but to set them up."

Since that is no longer the casee,why do we have them now? BLACK CAUCUSES, BLACK ENTERTAINMENT CHANNEL, NAACP, BLACK LIVES MATTER, AFRICAN AMERICAN OFFICE OF EDUCATION, AND THE LIST GOES ON.

RACISM???? YOU BET! but let's be exact, it'ss reverse discrimination, but thasat is fine. It favorss the blacks, right , Asc?

Lol, how about that, I thought I was responding to the other resident racist. Forgot about you, Marc.

Same reason we have Jewish institutions, and institutions for most American ethnicities.

Jews and blacks have or SHOULD HAVE been historically allies, however Jews have been feeling (and feeding) their whiteness more than their oppression.

To be fair, Jews have a much longer history with assimilation. We've been doing it for 2,000 years.

After that long, you just get good at it ... but, never good enough.

To be honest Jew is a religious designation. Jews are of all races.

Jewishness has always been an ethnicity. It is something much broader than just religious practice, especially to Jewish enemies.

People who hate Jews (and who have discriminated, oppressed, and attempted to exterminate Jews) don't care if a Jew is religious, isn't religious, or how much like a citizen of their host nation they appear to be.They hate Jews even if they have converted to xtianity and have completely rejected their Jewish identity.

They believe that 'Jewishness' comes from the blood, something that Judaism doesn't teach or believe.

I understand that but within the Jewish culture racism exists. There are at least 2 examples of that here and I am not talking about you.

Racism exists everywhere and in every culture. I've lived around the world and seen it. Different cultures express their racism in different ways, some subtle, some quite blatant.

All expressions of racism have one thing in common, they are all based on ignorance.

The thing about ignorance is, you almost never can shame the ignorant in to becoming educated.

 

[DGS49]

freedom of association is a wonderful thing. It should be practiced even more than it is. If Black folks want to do things exclusively with other Blacks, more power to 'em.

Yes, many of the institutions mentioned above were created in response to endemic racism. But...they remain in our presence because of little more than inertia and racial hucksterism. What are the chances that the NAACP would fold up its tent in recognition of the slow death of meaningful racism?

Next to zero. Same with the historically Black colleges & universities.

Sorry, sir, you're wrong. Patti LaBelle has won various Grammies since the middle 80s, including induction into their Hall of Fame.in 2004.
But don't worry, I won't post my usual "Gong!" You're having too good a time expressing your New Attitude, which you should take a lesson from, doll.
Michael Jackson earned 13 grammies, and 8 Guinness World Book of Record-breaking points and has earned over 2 and a half billion dollars since his death in 2009.
Will Smith's Wikipedia credits for awards reads like a Renaissance Man's overachiever and Hall of Famer in numerous artistic and music endeavors, not to mention his Filmography.
I don't even want to go there to look up Oprah Winfrey who has been a millionaire over 2000 times, not to mention her authorship of countless books, not to mention that she is America's chicken soup for the soul.
Michael Jordan? The best athlete in any sport of all times including prehistory! Magic Johnson was good, too.
And the White House has been occupied by a black family, the Obamas, for 8 years (2 terms)

The above list does not mention my omission of about 500 times the above for individual awards, not even touching the US Olynpic team winners who were black nor the wonderful place the AFL and NFL are due to their black players lives of excellence in sports..

You really ought to check out Patti LaBelle's song once more and feel happy inside. I do every time I hear the woman sing a song. And Diana Ross? Outta sight, man!

Oh, Yes, and my favorite song of all time was written by -- Mr. Bobby McFerrin:

Robert Keith McFerrin Jr. (born March 11, 1950) is an American jazz vocalist and conductor. A ten-time Grammy Award winner, he is known for his unique vocal techniques, such as singing fluidly but with quick and considerable jumps in pitch—for example, sustaining a melody while also rapidly alternating with arpeggios and harmonies—as well as scat singing, polyphonic overtone singing, and improvisational vocal percussion. He is widely known for performing and recording regularly as an unaccompanied solo vocal artist. He has frequently collaborated with other artists from both the jazz and classical scenes.

McFerrin's song "Don't Worry, Be Happy" was a No. 1 U.S. pop hit in 1988 and won Song of the Year and Record of the Year honors at the 1989 Grammy Awards. McFerrin has also worked in collaboration with instrumentalists, including pianists Chick Corea, Herbie Hancock, and Joe Zawinul, drummer Tony Williams, and cellist Yo-Yo Ma.

Precisely. When an ethnic community is ostracized from the larger community, they will often create their own facsimile versions of the very institutions from which they were ostracized.

Blacks, Hispanics, Asians, in fact, most ethnic minorities, were, at one time or another, were excluded from participation in the mainstream community.

Creating their own institutions can be a matter of survival, an expression of their willingness to assimilate into the larger culture, an act of defiance against their exclusion from cultural institutions, or ... in most cases ... a combination of all of those things.

Minority institutions don't come into existence as racism, they do so as a reaction to racism.

I think I set a USMB Record for changes to a post above. Sorry, I had a lot of additions, but not as many as the rest of you could think of about black accomplishments. I said nothing about George Washington Carver, whose innovations into the world of Botany fed a nation for over the past century with his astonishing improvements in vegetable proteins and nutrition, not to mention fixing environmental issues with plant rotations. Where does one begin?

From Wikipedia biographical pages on Carver:

George Washington Carver (1860s[1][2] – January 5, 1943), was an American agricultural scientist and inventor. He actively promoted alternative crops to cotton and methods to prevent soil depletion.[3]

While a professor at Tuskegee Institute, Carver developed techniques to improve soils depleted by repeated plantings of cotton. He wanted poor farmers to grow alternative crops, such as peanuts and sweet potatoes, as a source of their own food and to improve their quality of life. The most popular of his 44 practical bulletins for farmers contained 105 food recipes using peanuts. Although he spent years developing and promoting numerous products made from peanuts, none became commercially successful.[4]

Apart from his work to improve the lives of farmers, Carver was also a leader in promoting environmentalism.[5] He received numerous honors for his work, including the Spingarn Medal of the NAACP. In an era of very high racial polarization, his fame reached beyond the black community. He was widely recognized and praised in the white community for his many achievements and talents. In 1941, Time magazine dubbed Carver a "Black Leonardo".[6]

Carver developed techniques to improve soils depleted by repeated plantings of cotton. Together with other agricultural experts, he urged farmers to restore nitrogen to their soils by practicing systematic crop rotation: alternating cotton crops with plantings of sweet potatoes or legumes (such as peanuts, soybeans and cowpeas). These crops both restored nitrogen to the soil and were good for human consumption. Following the crop rotation practice resulted in improved cotton yields and gave farmers alternative cash crops. To train farmers to successfully rotate and cultivate the new crops, Carver developed an agricultural extension program for Alabama that was similar to the one at Iowa State. To encourage better nutrition in the South, he widely distributed recipes using the alternative crops.

In 1916, Carver was made a member of the Royal Society of Arts in England, one of only a handful of Americans at that time to receive this honor.
​

Genius!

And this doesn't even scratch the surface on everything he did for the American diet.

You are culturally incompetent and ignorant. The American government has basically been the NAAWP.

This is why I say that whites like you suffer from psychosis. And that is the mental damage your own racism has created.

Same reason we have Jewish institutions, and institutions for most American ethnicities.

Jews and blacks have or SHOULD HAVE historically been allies, however Jews have been feeling (and feeding) their whiteness more than their oppression.

Hypocrite.

Same reason we have Jewish institutions, and institutions for most American ethnicities.

Same reason why Asians and Latinos have their own stuff...

I've seen many a righting USMB poster claim, nonsensically, that such-and-such black institution is racist. Showing their ignorance in the process.

The reason why these institutions, organizations and/or business were setup in the first place...is racism.

From the schools to culture, to everything else. Blacks were historically shut-out and/or simply ignored, so there was no choice but to set them up.

HBCUs were created because the institutions of higher learning simply wouldn't accept black students, so HBCUs were created to give black students the opportunity to obtain higher education when virtually no other colleges would.

The Oscars, black talent was simply ignored.

The Grammys, same thing.

The NAACP. founded in 1909, was created to ensure the political, educational, social, and economic equality of rights of all persons and to eliminate race-based discrimination.

And so on, and so on, and so forth. These institutions, business and/or organizations were setup because of American racism. Racism that still persists today, in various forms.

Only an ignorant fool would fix their face or slam their gums to suggest that these institutions, by default, are racist. It's the height of ignorance and, quite frankly, shows the racism of the person expressing such an asinine view.

I don’t see the problem with anyone affiliating with race based organizations. If no harm is done, no laws broken, what’s the problem?

The problem is that these people want to have their cake and eat it too.

They want to fear monger about explicitly white institutions that don’t even exist while whining about the frequently racist actions and activities of black institutions being the slightest bit scrutinized.
