White anger over arrest of two black men at Starbucks is long overdue
1.) You have been raised in the greatest nation a free people could ever create.
2.) You Have spent zero days as a slave.
3.) You Have never seen a sign that says “whites only.”
4.) You Have had more opportunity than 90% of the people walking this planet.

Prove the 90% in point 4, please.

Liberals dont accept proof. Those two scumbags got exactly what they were after and once again, let me say that I avoid blacks like the plague they are.

While all of that is true there are situations where they are mistreated because of their color. Almost all Americans are profiled for one reason or another.
Denying that is ignoring reality.
I have been profiled because of looking dirty after work at a Lexus dealer and other places as well as by by the police after I got out of prison.
The thing is I didn't use those situations as an excuse for bad behavior or crying endlessly about being opressed.

This is not a stereotyping story. I'm very familiar with what happened and this dishonest author of the article left some key points out.

First of all, they came in, sat down, and didn't order anything. They claimed to be waiting for somebody which was okay with the staff. But after an extended period of time, it seemed less likely that anybody else was going to show up.

When they went to use the bathroom, that's when the manager questioned their reason for being there. She gave the patron the option of ordering something or leaving. He refused to do either. So she then gave him the option of leaving on his own or having the police escort them out. He chose to have the police called which they did.

The officers gave them the option to order something or leave, and when they still refused, the officers gave them the choice to leave freely or go away in handcuffs. The black occupiers chose to be arrested.

This isn't a race issue because if I go to my McDonald's today, sit down and not order anything, they too will kick my white ass out of the restaurant.

Do you believe that blacks get the same opportunities as whites?

Of course they have the same OPPORTUNITY. They usually sqander it though because of a lack of intelligence and drive. Many do succeed though.

 

[Ray From Cleveland]

Once Jim Crow “ended” biased lending practices amounted to unofficial segregation in this nation. Unable to purchase homes with credit in neighborhoods with good schools and infrastructure, black Americans were forced to live in areas where the tax base failed to provide high quality education for citizens.

Still working to overcome this bulkshit to this day.

That's a farce and you know it. This nonsense that it's the schools fault is as phony as it can get. It's just a theme started by Democrats to help support their union buddies.

A kid that wants to learn will be able to learn in any school.

trick question.

if you say yes are they now racist?

does everyone, regardless of their color or background, get the same opportunity? hardly.

life can sometimes just suck. period. it has nothing to do with race, accountability, actions and the like - it just sucks.

so - let me ask you - is "racism" overused and now a crutch and in danger of losing any real value as a word these days?

Racism is a serious issue. The word is thrown around too much. I'm really tired of Democrats screaming racism when there is none. I'm also sick and tired of Conservatives not even trying to hide their racist tendencies.

If one has racist tendencies, isn't hiding it the proper thing to do?

The proper thing to do is to not be a racist.

Actually plenty of black people have seen "whites only" signs. That disappeared in the 1950s, people over the age of 75 may have seen such signs.

That doesn't mean racism doesn't exist because they got told to take the signs down.

"Please sir, take down the racist sign"
"Oh, surely sir, now I am no longer a fucking ignorant racist any more, where did I put my nuclear physics book I've been meaning to read all these years?"

Nothing more need be said ^

You can't help how you feel. That's like saying the proper thing to do is not be a Democrat, or not like sports programs.

If you feel a certain way about something, very little can change that. Sure, you can be a phony all year long, but that doesn't change the way you feel.

I also think that one of the problems in race relationships today is that people did sweep their true feelings under the rug. It doesn't make the house any cleaner, it just looks cleaner to unwary visitors.

It reminds me of years ago when a family member had an alcohol problem. My sister went to get help, and the first question the institution asked was if this person in question knew they had a drinking problem? That's very important in treatment because it's difficult to treat a problem that doesn't exist in the mind of the alcoholic. In other words, you can't solve a problem that isn't there.

Actually, the majority of the signs disappeared in the 1950s. But not all. There were still signs scattered around the South in small towns. In fact, in the mid-1980s, I was working for UHaul and was involved in closing a service station dealers in Double Springs AL. 3 of us stayed in Double Springs, but the company president (a black man)stayed in Cullman. There was a sign in a small grocery store that said "Ni@@er don't let the sun set on your ass in Double Springs".

You want to make it sound as though all of the problems for blacks were gone 100 years ago. They weren't.
I am 58 years old and I have seen a couple of "whites only" signs.
I went to a segregated public school until the 3rd grade.
When I was 3 years old the Gov. of Alabama stood in the doorway and tried to prevent the desegregation of the Univ of AL. Not some hillbilly. The Governor of the State.
I can remember my parents talking after Bloody Sunday when the black marchers were attacked on the 1st march from Selma to Montgomery. I remember my mother crying because she was scared when Dad joined in the 2nd march.
I was 3 years old when Eugene "Bull" Connor turned fire hoses and had the police sicc german shepherds on peaceful protestors in Birmingham.
When I was 3 some KKK assholes bombed a church in Birmingham, killing 4 little girls. Bombed a church! The girls were changing into their choir robes when the bomb went off. I was 3 when the bomb went off. But I was 17 when Robert Chambliss was prosecuted for the murder.

I am not of retirement age, and these things happened in my lifetime. And these are the things that were blatant. These were the things that came from the authorities. Far worse came from ignorant rednecks.

Racism and discrimination is still very widespread in the U.S.
We’re still holding Blacks back...we cap them at President Of The United States.
There’s just no way we’ll allow them to achieve anything more.
Makes perfect sense in LibTardia.

Redlining. Look it up. You have a lot to learn.

Please know that my pointing out that minorities have had a harder time obtaining wealth than white people in this nation is NOT me saying that you haven’t worked hard or earned what you have. You fucking bigots always take this fact so personally.

This will make you piss your pants and reach for your straight jacket...BUT...isn’t that the case the world over?
Is it coincidence that the bulk of “minorities” in ALL nations tend to struggle?
Do you ever wonder if there are inherent ‘issues’.....OR do you always blame whitey for overachieving and standing in the way of their progress?
