This particular thread is about those issues. And I am not going to listen to a white man telling me what he thinks I am taking personal. Learn what modern racism is, then come talk to me about what I am taking personally.
Would it help if I agree you provide an excellent example of "modern racism"?
You go look and study what modern racism is.
"Modern Racism" the latest euphemism for racial revisionist history, appears to be a few blacks trying to rewrite history in their favor that all their problems are from whites and nothing due to themselves, despite decades of favoritism and facts to the contrary that they conveniently ignore and dismiss based on race, and that the only solution is reparations for crimes which they never even endured and which weren't even crimes when they actually occurred, now exemplified by an OP that when presented the undeniable evidence which contradicts his OP premise, simply ignores it and tries to pretend he never saw it, which make ALL of the OP's threads a flaming JOKE.
Is that right? Our problem are due only to ourselves? You don't provide any evidence *****. You are a joke.
50 years after the Kerner Commission: African Americans are better off in many ways but are still disadvantaged by racial inequality
- African Americans today are much better educated than they were in 1968 but still lag behind whites in overall educational attainment. More than 90 percent of younger African Americans (ages 25 to 29) have graduated from high school, compared with just over half in 1968—which means they’ve nearly closed the gap with white high school graduation rates. They are also more than twice as likely to have a college degree as in 1968 but are still half as likely as young whites to have a college degree.
High school graduation rates. Over the last five decades, African Americans have seen substantial gains in high school completion rates. In 1968, just over half (54.4 percent) of 25- to 29-year-old African Americans had a high school diploma. Today, more than nine out of 10 African Americans (92.3 percent) in the same age range had a high school diploma. (See Table 1 for all data presented in this report.)
The large increase in high school completion rates helped to close the gap relative to whites. In 1968, African Americans trailed whites by more than 20 percentage points (75.0 percent of whites had completed high school, compared with 54.4 percent of blacks). In the most recent data, the gap is just 3.3 percentage points (95.6 percent for whites versus 92.3 percent for African Americans).
- The substantial progress in educational attainment of African Americans has been accompanied by significant absolute improvements in wages, incomes, wealth, and health since 1968. But black workers still make only 82.5 cents on every dollar earned by white workers, African Americans are 2.5 times as likely to be in poverty as whites, and the median white family has almost 10 times as much wealth as the median black family.
With respect to homeownership, unemployment, and incarceration, America has failed to deliver any progress for African Americans over the last five decades. In these areas, their situation has either failed to improve relative to whites or has worsened.
In 2017 the black unemployment rate was 7.5 percent, up from 6.7 percent in 1968, and is still roughly twice the white unemployment rate. In 2015, the black homeownership rate was just over 40 percent, virtually unchanged since 1968, and trailing a full 30 points behind the white homeownership rate, which saw modest gains over the same period. And the share of African Americans in prison or jail almost tripled between 1968 and 2016 and is currently more than six times the white incarceration rate.

We did not do this to ourselves. And you have provided a prime example of modern racism.
Symbolic racism (also known as
modern-symbolic racism,
modern racism,
[1] symbolic prejudice, and
racial resentment) is a coherent belief system that reflects an underlying unidimensional prejudice towards
black people in the United States. These beliefs include
the stereotype that blacks are morally inferior to white people, and that they violate traditional
White American values such as hard work and independence. This is also more of a general term than it is specifically related to prejudice towards black people. It can be more generally characterized as an open dislike and derogation of individuals related to one's self.[
clarification needed] These beliefs may cause the subject to
discriminate against black people and to justify this discrimination.
[2] Some people do not view symbolic racism as prejudice since it is not linked directly to race but indirectly through social and political issues.
[3]
David O. Sears and P.J. Henry characterize symbolic racism as the expression or endorsement of four specific themes or beliefs:
[4]
- Blacks no longer face much prejudice or discrimination.
- The failure of blacks to progress results from their unwillingness to work hard enough.
- Blacks are demanding too much too fast.
- Blacks have gotten more than they deserve.
Symbolic racism is a form of modern racism, as it is more subtle and indirect than more overt forms of racism,
[5] such as those characterized in
Jim Crow laws. As symbolic racism develops through socialization and its processes occur without conscious awareness,
[6] an individual with symbolic racist beliefs may genuinely oppose racism and believe they are not racist.
[7] Symbolic racism is perhaps the most prevalent racial attitude today.
In the aftermath of the
Civil Rights Movement, old-fashioned (or "
Jim Crow") racism dissolved along with
segregation in the United States. Some people believe that new forms of racism began to replace old-fashioned racism.
[9] Symbolic racism is a term that was coined by David Sears and John McConahay in 1973
[10] to explain why most white Americans supported principles of equality for black Americans, but less than half were willing to support programs designed to implement these principles. The original theory described three definitive aspects of symbolic racism:
[11][12]
- A new form of racism had replaced old-fashioned Jim Crow racism, as it was no longer popular and could no longer be influential in politics as only a small minority still accepted it.
- Opposition to black politicians and racially targeted policies is more influenced by symbolic racism than by any perceived or true threat to whites' own personal lives.
- The origins of this form of racism lay in early-socialized negative feelings about blacks associated with traditional conservative values.
The concept of symbolic racism has evolved over time but most writings currently define symbolic racism as containing four themes:
[1]
- Racial discrimination is no longer a serious obstacle to blacks' prospects for a good life.
- Blacks' continuing disadvantages are largely due to their unwillingness to work hard enough.
- Blacks' continuing demands are unwarranted.
- Blacks' increased advantages are also unwarranted.
Whitley and Kite cite six underlying factors that contribute to symbolic racism. They are to this day believed to have been some of the biggest influences on modern racism.
[6]
- Implicitly anti-black affect and negative stereotypes.
- Racialized belief in traditional values.
- Belief in equality of opportunity.
- Low belief in equality of outcome.
- Group self-interest.
- Low knowledge of black people.

Note that those who made the term are white.
Learn to read more than cartoons you dumb SOB. The root cause of the problems blacks face today is white racism. And I can prove it. And I am going to prove it. When it is proven a ***** like you will just be left holding your dick with a piss stained hand.
