Not open for further replies.
There is no way to prove that. So please spare us.
You have history on your side but like almost every thread on race you post in, you dont have the present.

We have the present also. Rasmussen data really doesn't count.
No you dont.

We do and its not debateable.
no you dont and i agree :D

Well white man, when you live black let me know and we can discuss what you have experienced.
Go cry me a river you insecure little pussy.
Stop being such a panty waste and hold your head high. Maybe with some confidence, the white man wouldnt hold down your entire race with such ease :/

This is one of the first subjects I talked about when I started posting on message boards. Are Blacks on average more racist than whites?
I've always believed that they are. Something that I discovered growing up was that almost every black in America thinks about race every day, whereas most whites don't. There's a reason for this, but this simple fact is being used by the left to divide America.

A Rassmussen survey asked the question 5 years ago, and my guess is it would be even worse today.

Americans consider blacks more likely to be racist than whites and Hispanics in this country.

Thirty-seven percent (37%) of American Adults think most black Americans are racist, according to a new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey. Just 15% consider most white Americans racist, while 18% say the same of most Hispanic Americans. (To see survey question wording, click here.)

There is a huge ideological difference on this topic. Among conservative Americans, 49% consider most blacks racist, and only 12% see most whites that way. Among liberal voters, 27% see most white Americans as racist, and 21% say the same about black Americans.

From a partisan perspective, 49% of Republicans see most black Americans as racist, along with 36% of unaffiliated adults and 29% of Democrats.

Among black Americans, 31% think most blacks are racist, while 24% consider most whites racist and 15% view most Hispanics that way.

Among white adults, 10% think most white Americans are racist; 38% believe most blacks are racist, and 17% say most Hispanics are racist.

Overall, just 30% of all Americans now rate race relations in the United States as good or excellent. Fourteen percent (14%) describe them as poor. Twenty-nine percent (29%) think race relations are getting better, while 32% believe they are getting worse. Thirty-five percent (35%) feel they are staying about the same.

These figures reflect more pessimism than was found in April when 42% gave race relations positive marks and 39% said race relations were improving. However, the April number reflected all-time highs while the current numbers are more consistent with the general attitudes of recent years.

The survey of 1,000 Adults was conducted on July 1-2, 2013 by Rasmussen Reports. The margin of sampling error is +/- 3 percentage points with a 95% level of confidence. Field work for all Rasmussen Reports surveys is conducted by Pulse Opinion Research, LLC. See methodology.

------------------

Blacks are slightly more optimistic about the current state of race relations in American than whites and Hispanics are. But 37% of blacks and 38% of Hispanics believe those relations are getting worse, compared to 29% of whites.​

"Brooklyn Museum Criticized for Hiring White Woman as African Art Curator

New York’s Brooklyn Museum has been criticized for appointing a white woman as its new curator of African art, with several people on social media platforms arguing that the institution should have hired a person of colour for the role.

Despite Windmuller-Luna’s credentials as a historian of African arts and architecture with a Ph.D from Princeton University and lectureships at Columbia University, and previous role as Mellon Collections Research Specialist (African Arts) at the Princeton University Art Museum, several people took to Twitter to criticize the appointment."

Imagine if that shoe were on the other foot.

Do you actually think you can get this done today?

Provide to us the list of laws and policies enacted by blacks that were done to deny whites or you Asians equal opportunity.
 
Well, let's take a look at usmessageboard. If you look at the white posters, there are a few racists, but you need to look hard to find them.

If you look at the black posters, you can look all you want, but you won't find too many who aren't.

LOL! The reverse is more like the truth.

What is bad about the racism towards white from low information blacks, is that they don't even realize they are being racists. The liberal give them an excuse , that a minority has no power to be racist and thus cant be a racist.

What you mean is that blacks don't realize that you have your own definition for racism, aside from what the dictionary says. Not knowing this different definition therefore makes blacks "low information".

Go on. Git TFOH

White Rage: The Unspoken Truth of Our Racial Divide by Carol Anderson

'Dog Whistle Politics As Strategic Racism' "Wallace, Goldwater, and Nixon constitute classic strategic racists. In the context of the times, they were all initially racial moderates. They may have harbored tainted beliefs, but racial animosity did not drive their actions. Instead, they concentrated hard, weighing and sifting, to figure out how they could most effectively gain votes. If a more promising route had been available, they would have taken it. But race seemed the most likely avenue, so each opted to harness racial divisions to their agenda of getting elected. This was not about racism, it was about winning. Also, they were not racially omniscient, moving instead within a settled framework of ideas about race that for the most part they took for granted. Even so, unlike most in society, these politicians thought long and deep about how to turn race to their advantage. We've previously defined strategic racism as purposeful efforts to use racial animosity as leverage to gain political power (or material wealth and social standing). By this definition, Wallace, Goldwater, and Nixon acted out of strategic racism. This last sentence sparks an important clarification. I write interchangeably of "dog whistle politics" and "dog whistle racism." The first is a less freighted term. But the truth is, racial dog whistle politics is dog whistle racism. It is a strategic manipulation of racial ideas in pursuit of political power and (especially once big money conservatives got behind the tactic) material wealth." p48 'Dog Whistle Politics: How Coded Racial Appeals Have Reinvented Racism and Wrecked the Middle Class' by Ian Haney López

I give everyone the benefit of the doubt in regards to intelligence. Thus, I assume that you or any one who concludes that blacks are more racist than whites, are as smart as I am...if not smarter. Hence, if I know that the belief that blacks are more racist than whites is false, what prevents people like you from knowing it too?

If an intelligent person cannot figure out the correct answer to a simple question, when all the information is there to get the right answer, its because the intelligent persons intellect is being subdued by emotions and prejudice. There is a clear reason why people like you have to be "educated by force" on such matters. Its because you don't want to be educated, but rather, to believe what your prejudice and emotions want you to believe. Even when forced fed the truth....you stick your finger down your throat to throw it back up.

America has as many racist whites as it has ever has in its history. What different today is that there are also many whites who are not like that and don't feel that they have to pretend to be that way or to be silent about the racism of other, just to get along and fit in. There are a lot of racist white people and there are a lot of white people who are not racist. The former just seek to camouflage themselves as the latter.
There is no way to prove that. So please spare us.
You have history on your side but like almost every thread on race you post in, you dont have the present.

Take away the past and the present ceases to exist. The present is simply the reaction to the past and every action creates a reaction....often equal and opposite.
You shouldnt take it away, but you cant run from it.. Society will never fully advance.

What I am telling you is that if you have the past.......you have the explanation for the present. You said we have the past but we do not have the present. What does that mean?
You would have more of an argument for whites being more racist back in the day. But not today.
You said it with such certainty and i simply think its a fallacy.

How so? Do you think that as a result of the way whites treated blacks....say circa 1940....that blacks thought better of white people back then? Law of motion says that when you push on an object that the object pushes back equal and opposite on you. Thus, it stands to reason that when white racism was more virulent, so was black resentment or reaction to it (which whites now call black racism). In other words, the worse you treated blacks, the worse blacks would think about whites (black racism).

What is different today than circa 1940 is what is socially acceptable. There were probably the same percentage of gay people, circa 1940, as there are today, but if a person was alive in 1940 they probably would not have noticed it compared to today. Why is that? Its because it was not socially acceptable to be that way and hence people who were so inclined nearly always presented themselves as heterosexuals, having heterosexual relationships and doing things so people would not know they they were really gay. Today, now that its more acceptable, people who are that way pretend much less than they used to, making it seem like homosexuality is on the rise.

While gays have come out the closet, racist have gone in the closet because its not socially acceptable to be racist today. Racist now pretend to be non racist like gays used to pretend to be heterosexual. Racist may have black friends, may engage in intimate loving relationship with a black person, all while being a racist. I mean, if a gay person can pretend to be strait to fool others and maybe even themselves, why could not or would not a racist do the same thing?..ergo pretending to not be racist to avoid being socially ostracized...and avoid seeing themselves as something that is "ugly"?

However, keep in mind that just because a person is making a conscious effort to do things to not appear racist, that there racism comes out still in other ways. Now, white people use a pretext as a cover for their racism. In other words, they must rationalize a reason for seeing blacks negatively or treating blacks negatively. Hence, it appears that their negative reaction or view is based upon the incident and not race.

But good luck using assumption and hypotheticals for your arguments of certainty..

Assumptions and hypothetical is all we ever had to go on, since there has never been a time when there existed the ability of mind reading. We are only assuming that the people of 1940 was more racist than today, in their minds. What we know for sure is that the LAWS, as written, were more racist, but we don't know what was in the typical persons mind to be a certainty.

Thus, assumptions has always been a CONSTANT in the debate about race. Hence, you are holding me to different standards.

I wouldn’t be surprised if there aren’t several black posters that simply don’t harp on racism and don’t reveal their race on USMB. For most topics, race doesn’t matter.

If you look at the black posters, you can look all you want, but you won't find too many who aren't.
I wouldn’t be surprised if there aren’t several black posters that simply don’t harp on racism and don’t reveal their race on USMB. For most topics, race doesn’t matter.
I'm willing to consider the possibility.

The ones who do identify as black are racist as all get up, however.

Because the "label" of racist hurts YOU, you just fling it back hoping/thinking/projecting that it inflicts as much pain upon them as the label inflicts upon you. The reality is that it hurts you so much....because of its TRUTH and hurts blacks much less as a corollary.
 
A Democrat Politician's worst nightmare is racial harmony.
CNN and MSNBC fan the flames of racial tensions 24/7 to help the Democrats.

Racial Harmony to conservatives is when blacks accept that they are inherently inferior to whites and that the consequence of that innate inferiority is that blacks lag in outcomes and performances related to education and economics and that white racism is only an excuse to deflect from the real truth of inferiority.

Liberals accepting that is racial harmony to conservatives.
That is a racist viewpoint.
