The point I was trying to make was that compared to the south there were no Jim Crow laws in California. Blacks could do pretty much the same as whites, they weren't restricted from attending schools. What restrictive laws existed were mostly aimed at Asians, especially Asian immigrants. Comparing forties California to say forties Alabama is like comparing a campfire to a forest fire.I wasn’t writing to you and you need to check who I am writing too before you demand a thing from me at all!
My comment was too another poster making the false claim that Jim Crow laws did not exist in California and I am going to tell you one last time you do not demand anything because you have no right to demand anything at all!
You have been told many times racism will never end and it your ignorance that has caused you to deny this reality!
So now read who I wrote that too and learn you do not tell another poster what they must write about when you have introduced so much stuff on here from History to Japanese Americans and demanding money for something you may not be entitled too!
Racism was made illegal in 1964.
There are a lot of Black Americans that would get ahead. The majority of Black Americans DON'T live in the ghettos. They have made decent lives for themselves.This is so true. Also the same re "redistribution," giving all white money to blacks. In two years, whites would be rich again and blacks would be more drug-addicted than ever. There is a serious, intrinsic problem about the IQ difference, on average, between blacks and whites that makes this problem intractable. It was solved earlier by keeping blacks rigidly under control. Now that this good policy was abandoned for an impossible "equality," there is constant, rampant crime by blacks. This idea of preferring bad blacks, as with all the George Floyd types, at least is not the way to solve anything.
Ah, here we have it. "Cleaning up the mess" means giving you money...Whites created the problem and continue perpetuating it. So why do some whites think we are responsible for cleaning up a mess they made?
Reparations have been paid to other groups who have been harmed by government policy so the right wing opposition to reparations is simply based on a distorted racist belief.
Well, I hope that's true. I can't say it's nearly obvious enough.There are a lot of Black Americans that would get ahead. The majority of Black Americans DON'T live in the ghettos. They have made decent lives for themselves.
It's not obvious because the bad blacks are the ones that get the attention. Someone being successful and a good person doesn't sell commercial time.Well, I hope that's true. I can't say it's nearly obvious enough.
The violence in the large urban areas of our biggest cites is being caught on cameras and is being broadcast on local and national news. Perhaps it is unfair but it paints blacks in the inner cites in a terrible light. Plus, we often see video footage of blacks entering stores and carrying off bags of merchandise.This thread is not about solving the black homicide rate. Whites like you ignore the crime in your community to try lecturing us. So it's like this, you either talk about what whites can do to end the racism in their community or leave.
Wrong. And you aren't Asian either.
That does not read like the end of racism, it reads like a threat of revenge using the power of the majority.if whites do not work to end racism, in a few short years when you are a minority, you will be made to.
Again, the list is there and you can deny it all you want but it is there…The point I was trying to make was that compared to the south there were no Jim Crow laws in California. Blacks could do pretty much the same as whites, they weren't restricted from attending schools. What restrictive laws existed were mostly aimed at Asians, especially Asian immigrants. Comparing forties California to say forties Alabama is like comparing a campfire to a forest fire.
What law was that?
He believe the Civil Rights Act ended racism and believe White Society will be paying dearly…What law was that?
What does the author mean by the following?As we unpeel the layers of our complicity, the pain is deep. This is not to say that white pain is the same as the pain of people of color. It is not. But until whites learn to be with our own pain we will continue to enact racism.
White urgency to end racism: why now?
How can whites work against racism while also ensuring that we don’t re-center white supremacy in the process?www.opendemocracy.net
You guys seem to have problems with doing the most obvious right thing in this situation. The has got to end.
Are you on board with that? It sounds like an abreviation of the things white people are supposed to do with the addition of the trauma of oppression that you are not really experiencing - doesn't it???People of color also have work to do, but it is different work - healing from the trauma of oppression, dismantling internalized racism, building coalitions across racial identities and so on.
Often while watching the news in today’s world whites see videos of blacks engaged in shootouts in the downtown areas of big cities, see organized gangs of blacks shoplifting expensive items from elite stores and see blacks attacking old people (especially Asians) on the streets without warning.In typical USMB fashion, the usual whites here don't want to look at their responsibility and would rather drone on and on off topic about black homicide when whites lead in 28 categories of crime as listed in the U.S Code.

Seems that for some reason, I can't post in a thread I started.
The question is asked why am I asking whites to help solve the race problem.
"Why do you keep turning to white people for solutions to America's racial problems?"
Right Wing Whites Do Not Have Any Solutions to Offer Blacks
How did you avoid these problems and overcome them? Seems as though you took advantage of opportunity? No? He mostly just whined.www.usmessageboard.com
Whites created the problem and continue perpetuating it. So why do some whites think we are responsible for cleaning up a mess they made?
Reparations have been paid to other groups who have been harmed by government policy so the right wing opposition to reparations is simply based on a distorted racist belief. Whites are responsible for ending racism in the white community. Once that ends or is reduced to irrelevance the barriers and obstacles created by whites who have racist beliefs will be eliminated and groups of color will be able to reach their potential. You don't start a fire in your house the tell your neighbors how they need to put the fire out.
It would be helpful since you are not getting what you want to see from whites.So I am supposed to suggest what whites need to do in order to do their part to end racism.
I'll grow tired of their bigotry, and disconnect from them if they have nothing else to offer that may interest me. I am dedicated to progressing my campaign for a constitutional convention to solve all of our social problems, and I really don't spend much time with anyone, because I do not have access to the smart people who could possibly help me.How about beginning by not making excuses about what you cannot do?
The claim of taking on bigotry creates more bigotry and allows such bigotry to grow and get worse. Whites must take on the bigots in the white community.
The government is supposed to do that for me, and the reason it does not is because it is erroneous, because it was designed by racists and white supremacists who did not know how to subdivide the three parts of government.Accept that you have a responsibility to end the racism in your community.
There is only one way to prove that black people know how to do community better than white people.Stop talking about black crime when the issue is the white community.
There is no false equivalence. White people's government is erroneous, and it guides society into this disorderliness we endure. You see the inadequacies as the "systemic biases."Stop making false equivalences instead of looking at the problem of racism in your community. What most of you call black racism is the response of blacks to the racism we face from whites. Now I am telling you that as a black person and not some right-wing white with an opinion who reads Thomas Sowell.
We can clearly see that blacks do not want that responsibility.Blacks should not be shouldering the responsibility of telling whites how to end racism in the white community.
If a white person had a practical solution to the racism problem, as you describe it, that it is a white people's problem to be solved by white people without interference from black people's protests and stupid bullshit . . .Racism is not just a black or issue for people of color since whites are the ones primarily are the ones practicing racism.
Again, I'm done talking about reparations. Start a thread if you want to discuss it. I already know what your argument is because if you start that thread it will probably be the thousanth thread started by a white person whining about why blacks should not get reparations while everyone else the government damaged did. Your post is full of b.s, all of it based on emotions and feelings instead of fact.
For racism to end whites like you need to go back and study government and public policies at every level.
My post was in response to a question. I wrote one sentence did not say blacks should get reparations and then stated that whites need to do their part to end racism. The discussion was never about reparations but the racists decided they wanted to make it an idssue and you want tonlet them. This thread is about what whites need ti=o do, now the white racist objection to reparations. I've said that over and over and since I am the OP, I do believe I determine what the discussion is. This is not about reparation, black crime or any of the bullshit you have allowed people to get away with.DidYa miss my post where I pointed out that YOUR very Opening Post in this thread talks about reparations? That's the scope of discussion you laid out.
Are you posting from behind bars? Out on parole, perhaps? If not, then racism is obviously not illegal.Racism was made illegal in 1964.
