another black proving blacks are racist--not whites

[Mac1958]

I'm not talking about issues. I'm talking about behaviors.

That's been my point all along.
.

so am I
here is MORE proof of EVERY point I've made on USMB:
black YOUTH murdered WHITE college girl

Yes, you'll be able to find plenty of those.

And you'll ignore, avoid and dismiss all stories that go in the opposite direction.

Because nutters are liars and have zero credibility.
.

wrong-
-blacks commit hate crimes at TWICE the rate of whites
Offenders

blacks ONLY 13% of the population--whites about 65%-YET:
white on black murders -229
black on white murders -500 !!!!
Expanded Homicide Data Table 6
etc etc etc

And right on cue.
.

......you just proved you have ZERO credibility = as usual on USMB, I provide facts and proof--you provide babble and NO proof...you don't back up anything you babble about

How many times do you plan on illustrating my point for me?

Do you even realize you're doing it?

....plain and simple--blacks complain about whites being racist--when 99% of the time it's bullshit
....the BLACKS are the racists

Harmonica after reading the following article entitled 'Race based legislation in the North' do you still honestly believe that black people as a race are more racist than the white race?

People & Events
Race-based legislation in the North
1807 - 1850

To the fugitive slave fleeing a life of bondage, the North was a land of freedom. Or so he or she thought. Upon arriving there, the fugitive found that, though they were no longer slaves, neither were they free. African Americans in the North lived in a strange state of semi-freedom. The North may had emancipated its slaves, but it was not ready to treat the blacks as citizens. . . or sometimes even as human beings.

This was a time when European immigrants were pouring into the North. Many of these people had faced discrimination and hardship in their native countries. But in America they found their rights expanding rapidly. They had entered a country in which they were part of a privileged category called "white."

Classism and ethnic prejudices did exist among white Americans and had a tremendous impact on people's lives. But the bottom line was that for white people in America, no matter how poor or degraded they were, they knew there was a class of people below them. Poor whites were considered superior to blacks, and to Indians as well, simply by virtue of being white. Because of this, most identified with the rest of the white race and defended the institution of slavery. Working class whites did this even though slavery did not benefit them directly and was in many ways against their best interests.

Before 1800, free African American men had nominal rights of citizenship. In some places they could vote, serve on juries, and work in skilled trades. But as the need to justify slavery grew stronger, and racism started solidifying, free blacks gradually lost the rights that they did have. Through intimidation, changing laws and mob violence, whites claimed racial supremacy, and increasingly denied blacks their citizenship. And in 1857 the Dred Scott decision formally declared that blacks were not citizens of the United States.

In the northeastern states, blacks faced discrimination in many forms. Segregation was rampant, especially in Philadelphia, where African Americans were excluded from concert halls, public transportation, schools, churches, orphanages, and other places. Blacks were also forced out of the skilled professions in which they had been working. And soon after the turn of the century, African American men began to lose the right to vote -- a right that many states had granted following the Revolutionary War. Simultaneously, voting rights were being expanded for whites. New Jersey took the black vote away in 1807; in 1818, Connecticut took it away from black men who had not voted previously; in 1821, New York took away property requirements for white men to vote, but kept them for blacks. This meant that only a tiny percentage of black men could vote in that state. In 1838, Pennsylvania took the vote away entirely. The only states in which black men never lost the right to vote were Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont and Massachusetts.

The situation in what was then the northwest region of the country was even worse. In Ohio, the state constitution of 1802 deprived blacks of the right to vote, to hold public office, and to testify against whites in court. Over the next five years, more restrictions were placed on African Americans. They could not live in Ohio without a certificate proving their free status, they had to post a $500 bond "to pay for their support in case of want," and they were prohibited from joining the state militia. In 1831 blacks were excluded from serving on juries and were not allowed admittance to state poorhouses, insane asylums, and other institutions. Fortunately, some of these laws were not stringently enforced, or it would have been virtually impossible for any African American to emigrate to Ohio.

In Illinois there were severe restrictions on free blacks entering the state, and Indiana barred them altogether. Michigan, Iowa, and Wisconsin were no friendlier. Because of this, the black populations of the northwestern states never exceeded 1 percent.

African Americans also faced violence at the hands of white northerners. Individual cases of assault and murder occured throughout the North, as did daily insults and harassment. Between 1820 and 1850, Northern blacks also became the frequent targets of mob violence. Whites looted, tore down, and burned black homes, churches, schools, and meeting halls. They stoned, beat, and sometimes murdered blacks. Philadelphia was the site of the worst and most frequent mob violence. City officials there generally refused to protect African Americans from white mobs and blamed blacks for inciting the violence with their "uppity" behavior.

African Americans and their white allies did not simply sit back and accept Northern racism; they responded to it in a whole range of ways. Black people founded their own churches, schools, and orphanages. They created mutual aid societies to provide financial assistance to those in need. They helped fugitive slaves adjust to life in the North. Blacks and whites working together took legal measures to try to prevent the erosion of black rights and to protest against new restrictions. African Americans held a series of national conventions to decide on a collective course of action. Combined with these actions was the constant effort to end slavery, to protect fugitive slaves, and to save free black people from being kidnapped and sold South. Some states even passed Personal Liberty Laws to counteract federal legislation such as the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850. These protected fugitives and guaranteed some rights to African American citizens of that state.​

You really have to drop this both ends nonsense.

No reason to drop it, as both ends lean heavily on the same partisan behaviors every single day, non stop, regardless of the issue:

1. Denial
2. Deflection
3. Distortion
4. Obtuseness
5. Intellectual Myopia
6. Tribalism
7. Hyperbole
8. Hate
9. Avoidance
10. Hypocrisy
    
11. Vicious Personal Insults
12. Willful Ignorance
    
13. Outright Lies

.

What IM2 is saying is that 400 years of race based discrimination, legislation, practices, policies, social mores, harassment and abuse is not the same thing as the animus that is sometimes displayed by the recipients of that abuse who have every right to feel resentment and express their displeasure. This is what most of the white racists call "racism" and it's not even comparable to white institutional racism and it's remnants.

The race card was invented by whites on March 26, 1790.

On March 26, 1790, the United States of America decided who could be a citizen of this country for the first time. This was a congressional decision named The Naturalization Act of 1790. The act states: “any alien, being a free white person,” could apply for citizenship, so long as he or she lived in the United States for at least two years, and in the state where the application was filed for at least a year. The new law also provided that “children of citizens of the United States that may be born … out of the limits of the United States shall be considered as natural born citizens.”

...that's your problem = you're living in the past..it's a whole DIFFERENT world now

Except the quotes that Mac posted here in December 2019 show that white racism still exists.

 

[NewsVine_Mariyam]

Documentation supports one side when we talk about racism. You seem unable to understand that. This is not about republican or democrat because racism is a bi partisan issue.

I'm not talking about issues. I'm talking about behaviors.

.....but--again, not headline news when a black is racist...this is why we laugh whenever blacks accuse a white of racism

[“As soon as I sat, that woman started cursing and yelling at him about him being a Jew and ‘Allahu akbar’ and how Allah will end us all,” she recounted in the five-minute video, in which a scratch is seen on her fac/QUOTE]

I guess no one has told these guys, huh?

What do you think of these posts?

This is pipe dream shit meant to feed the n-I-g-g-e-r-s and the s-p-I-c-s because they're stupid enough to believe that shit.

Today blacks act like animals because they are BARELY evolved past the Ape and need a strong central figure (the white man) to keep them in place and acting like normal people.

Sick of their shit and we should not hide it anymore. When they call me a fucking racist, and I say you damn right I am!!! Fuck those fucking people!

Why do Browns ("people of color") feel compelled to steal, assault, rape, murder Whites, their obvious superior beings? Browns should be worshiping Whites instead of being jealous douchebag criminals.'

Blacks... prone to violence, think they're still in the jungle, low IQ blacks.

How can you look at the world and not see that ALL ADVANCEMENTS came from Europe and America? Yeah, we're the superior race on the earth. All others developed because of whites

Look, he is actually intelligent and an actual person of color! How often does that happen?

“We swear muthafuckers, you take our beaners from us and we’ll come for your guns one day” Filthy fucks!

MAGA! This is great news! Everything is falling into place so we can build the Wall and thwart this invasion of brown diseease ridden third worlders who are a threat to our sovereignty, culture and American traditions.

Being the elected representative of a bunch of dumbass ghetto Jungle Monkeys doesn't take intelligence. It take a ghetto dialect and a promise to get them more welfare.

Valerie Jarrett.... Is she that light skinned negro who looks like that ape in Planet of the Apes (negroes?)

I thought she was an ape...Next you'll be telling me Mooch isn't really a shaved wookie.

The asians made fun of obama.....the asians refer to negroes as 'monkey people' and not in jest....they are serious....and why shouldn't they be?

Pay the pavement ape or he will get very angry and burn his house down.

Yawn, Kambala wants every African American crack addict to have their own home while White, Red, and Yellow Americans some disabled vets rot on the street.

Nigga's acting like a Nigga...must be part of the Thugery... most blacks don't act like that!

I believe the black race is inferior to both the white and yellow races....I can prove it by taking a look at the world map and income, innovation/scientific discoveries, and prison populations. Maybe you have some other mysterious way of defining the word but you never seem to say what it is.

Most intelligent people understand how stupid blacks are....average i.q. of 85.....being one you should know.

Hmmm...sounds like flaming to me. lol.

Yes; very naughty. But using subjective criteria is always problematic. For example, if jump starting a car is one of the criteria then I would be streets ahead in the IQ stakes because I know so few people have that "intelligence". Similarly with hot wiring a car etc etc..........or throwing a boomerang, following a goanna trail, knowing bush tucker etc etc. By most criteria used today 21st century people are far more intelligent than their medieval counterparts. It's a non-story really.

I have no problem with any of that. And, being of mixed race and married into another mixed race family, I think that those who try to deny the above are simply l-y-i-n-g. And they're not very tough to find on this board, that's for damn sure.

Where he and I part ways is that I think the other end of this debate has plenty to answer for, as well. Not as much minorities, as those on the Left in general who enable the worst behaviors of minorities by spinning for them, deflecting for them, attacking for them, lowering standards for them. To deny that also seems blatantly dishonest to me.

The 13 behaviors I list above are clearly displayed by both ends of the spectrum on virtually all of the issues, every single day, and they are terribly counter-productive and the main drivers of our deepening divisions and tribalism. I want us to put more effort into being on the same page, not trying to "beat" the other "side".

I'm not exactly sure what you mean by this. I'm African American and I would like to think that none of those traits apply to me since I'm pretty mindful of my behavior nor to any immediate members of my family.

Those types of behavior would be hard if not impossible, at least for me, to tolerate in anyone irrespective of their race or political leanings.

I put much more of the blame for this on white "progressives" who are largely responsible for the tactics I mention above. Minorities have simply been raised in this environment for the last three generations. That's not their fault. I don't want to paint minorities as victims here, and minorities are fully responsible for their actions, but this multi-generational coddling and enabling would affect anyone.

There are some in my family who are fine with those tactics. There are others, like me, who are insulted by them, and who think they have retarded minorities' growth.

The problem with those like you is that you ignore the fact whites commit more crimes. That's what the stats show. The childish reply of there are more whites is a piss poor excuse. You don't get to commit more crimes because there are more of you. So maybe you start asking: So what is the CAUSE of white violence and crime? Since there are more of you, and you give yourselves excuses to commit crime, whites have created a violent and criminal American culture. And as we see, that criminality starts at the top.

You've got problems. You have bought in to the right wing lie about progressives and blacks as well as ignoring the historically higher violence and crime in white communities. You co sign the right wing lie about lowering standards for minorities while ignoring the continuing history of whites asking no other qualifications of themselves but that they are white. All you have done in the quote is repeat right wing spin and the excuses they make for themselves. Their opposition to progressives is solely based on an opposition to equal rights for people of color. Being a person of color yourself, you need to pay far closer attention. So I'll post this again, because it shows what the true root cause of the problem is, not an assumption based on the denial of the major problem this nation faces.

On October 24, 2013, the Kellogg Foundation sent out a press release about a report they had done entitled, “The Business Case for Racial Equity”. This was a study done by the Kellogg Foundation, using information it had studied and assessed from the Center for American Progress, National Urban League Policy Institute, Joint Center for Political and Economic Studies and the U.S. Department of Justice.

“Striving for racial equity – a world where race is no longer a factor in the distribution of opportunity – is a matter of social justice. But moving toward racial equity can generate significant economic returns as well. When people face barriers to achieving their full potential, the loss of talent, creativity, energy, and productivity is a burden not only for those disadvantaged, but for communities, businesses, governments, and the economy as a whole. Initial research on the magnitude of this burden in the United States (U.S.), as highlighted in this brief, reveals impacts in the trillions of dollars in lost earnings, avoidable public expenditures, and lost economic output.”

The Kellogg Foundation and Altarum Institute

In 2011, DEMOS did a study named “The Racial Wealth Gap, Why Policy Matters”, which discussed the racial wealth gap, the problems associated with it along with solutions and outcomes if the gap did not exist. In this study DEMOS determined that the racial wealth gap was primarily driven by policy decisions.

Notice the last 3 lines in the quote. Racism has cost this country trillions of dollars and has created numerous social problems as a result. But people want to ignore this and pretend racism is just calling somebody a racial slur or not capitalizing the word white.

Let me continue.

As we look at the numbers, we see what has caused our economic problem and it’s not the loss of jobs by the white working class. The numbers show us that many of our national difficulties do not have to exist. For example, there are almost 17 million black households. 16,997,000 to be exact. There are 17,318,000 Latino households. The median white household had an income of $50,400 a year while the median income was $32,028 for Blacks and $36,840 for Latinos. That difference of $18,372 for blacks and $13,560 for Latinos equals a combined loss of $31,932 for over 34 million households each year. It is a loss of over 1/2 trillion dollars of taxable income annually. In addition, racism erases billions of dollars that can be circulated in our economy. These are huge losses created because of racist public policy.

Over the course of the past several decades we have heard over and over how if we cut taxes we stimulate growth. But it seems that if we erase racism, racist policies and racist policy decisions that adversely affects COMMUNITIES, that we could erase many of the problems we see today. We are talking about serious increases in GDP, deficit reductions, increased tax revenue, more tax payers instead of more needing public assistance, increased corporate profits which means more jobs and yet there remains a great resistance to do this. Again, racism is more than racial slurs or racist comments. Racism in America has had a negative economic impact on the black community, other communities of color and in fact, the entire country.

Again, let me break down what white racism has done to this nation. While certain whites gloat about how successful they have been as a race and lecture others about how they have failed, facts they have created the problems being complained about today. If not for racism everyone would be better off economically, fewer people would be on the public dime, tax revenues would increase at every level, we’d have a smaller deficit, or possibly no national deficit or debt. Crime would be reduced dramatically, unemployment very well would be less than 1 percent. More than likely the increased tax revenue could help provide free education and health care to all American citizens. After reading study after study shoes us that virtually every economic problem we have stems from the racism that has denied people of color opportunity.

We ARE victims

Another white person unable to face the truth.

To be blunt, YOU are the only race that can't seem to succeed except by whining for handouts. Don't be that race.

Whites would be nothing if not for the handouts government at every level has given you.

I was wondering when you'd be back from the beating you took. I'm glad you survived
