blacks should be thankful

[Asclepias]

obviously blacks are doing well in sports
NFL over 70% and NBA--ha--with NBA players making more MILLIONS$$$$ than the MILLIONS $$$$ the NFL players make
college football gives many black players free/$$ for an education
many blacks in the entertainment business

blacks way over represented in GREAT government jobs with great benefits--hardly any lay offs compared to the private sector, and GREAT pensions [ even though they graduate from high school at lower levels ]--so we see blacks making out very good--better than they are qualified
U.S. Post Office Job Cuts Threaten Black Middle Class | HuffPost
bold mine--they are over represented almost twice their population rate

over represented in cream of the crop auto jobs--these are FANTASTC jobs
Driving While Black: On the Line
Employed persons by detailed industry, sex, race, and Hispanic or Latino ethnicity

considering they graduate at lower levels--blacks have nothing to complain about--and everything to be thankful for

Most Blacks I know are very grateful they are Black. I think what you are misunderstanding is that we dont like being killed or discriminated against because we are so fucking awesome.

as you can see in my initial links/etc they are NOT being discriminated against...in fact they are doing quite well

Just because we are doing quite well doesnt mean we arent discriminated against. It just means your discrimination cant stop us unless we give up.

please prove there is a huge, chronic discrimination problem

I've been reading "More Than Just Race," and "When Work Disappears." Both discuss why poverty and unequal opportunity so stubbornly persist in the lives of so many African Americans. They explain that very many laws and policies, while not obviously discriminatory in their wording, have very negative affects on inner city black folks in their actual implementation.

An excerpt from More Than Just Race: "Economic changes and political decisions may have a greater adverse impact on some groups than on others simply because the former are more vulnerable as a consequence of their position in the social stratification system."

I personally think that the government sanctioned, obvious, in-your-face discrimination of the past has been replaced and is now hidden, masked and portrayed as something other than what it actually is. Things that are purposely hidden from view are thus harder to "prove," but I believe still exist and hurt people.

Thanks for recommending that book. Halfway done.

African-Americans represent 13.1 percent of the U.S. population and 11.6 percent of the labor force, according to a 2012 U.S. Department of Labor report. Nearly one in five African-American workers hold government jobs such as mail clerks, firefighters and teachers, the report said.

By 1970, about one in five Detroit auto workers was black, a sizeable increase from 1960, when they held only about sixteen percent of auto industry jobs.

I started a thread called black greatness that got closed by a certain mod here who claimed there was no factual basis for my thread. Here we have a thread 9 pages long started with no factual basis, a straight out troll thread and it stays open and that same mod allows it. There is no factual bass that prove we as blacks have ANY reason to be grateful to whites.

White people get mad when you post stuff like that. I know exactly who you are talking about.
