Injustice for white males

[Skull Pilot]

When oh when is the man going to finish keeping the white man down.

White males have the highest per capita income and wealth in this nation and the lowest unemployment and poverty rates of any large demographic....more evidence of the organized racism inherent in this society against him.

When will the white man ever get a break?

And herein lies the problem.

A person is not an entire people. Treating a person as an entire race and holding him culpable for the cumulative acts of that race is unjust.

After listening to the president speak about Rosa Parks and her stand against injustices against black people so many years ago I admire her courage. It made me wonder though is it time for a white male, a Rosa Parks type, to emerge. Nobody can deny the discrimination against white males in America today. Is it even possible for a white male to move to the front of the bus and refuse to give up his seat. Perhaps it is even more hazardous today than when Rosa Parks did it so many years ago. We as white males should demand equal opportunity for jobs. We as white males should demand equal opportunity to entrance in medical schools, law schools, and colleges.

When white males are being publically lynched in the middle of the night we will give you your statue

Don't be daft. Plenty of white people have been lynched to, and I imagine in the middle of the night, although I'm not sure that's relevant.

Affirmative action does nothing but give people who never suffered slavery a reward as it punishes those that have never owned a slave.

Sorry but there ain't one Black or white person alive today that is affected in the least way by slavery.

It's time to start treating people the same across the board.

It should be illegal to ask for Race on an application.

I agree 100%.

 

[rightwinger]

Of course it does.

It has to do with the fallout of slavery. Repairing the inequities of the past and all that happy horse shit.

No it didn't

Women, Native Americans and Hispanics also benefitted from Afirmative Action programs

unintended consequences.

It's all bullshit anyway.

The only way to ensure equality is not to differentiate between sex, race etc.

AA mandates and special treatment is committing two wrongs to make a perceived right.

Afirmative action worked.

Up until the mid 70s, Women, blacks and hispanics were restricted to certain career fields. Who could imagine that a black man or a woman would be manager material? Affirmative action forced their hand. Now people don't look twice when a black or woman is in a position of responsibility

To the people complaining about AA and "keeping the white man down", I don't believe they see this scenerio as a positive in any way.

The biggest impediment to Afirmative Action was not prejudice against blacks, hispanics and women but a preconception of what made a good manager, policeman or doctor. In most cases, that meant a white male.

It was not until we saw minorities and women filling these positions that it became no big deal

While I agree with you, I don't believe that the racists crying about "keeping the white man down" agree.

That is what Jim Crow was all about

While we could make laws against Jim Crow we could not get rid of the Jim Crow mentality of restricting certain positions to white males

That is why Affirmative Action was necessary

I have never said that.

The premise behind affirmative action is the very thing they were trying to stop.

It's hypocritical.

One does not promote equality by mandating special treatment.

How does one promote equality then, when many refuse to hire or promote people of other racial or ethnic backgrounds?

Promotion and force are antithetical.

The government cannot legislate societal attitudes.

Education. The best thing to happen to race relations was the desegregation of schools.

Despite the fact that we've been educating people for over 50 years about this, there are still many who wouldn't hire or promote people of different races and ethnic groups.

Therefore, long term education is an answer, but it offers nothing in the short term.

what AA assumes is that all white males are privileged and everyone else is oppressed by the white males

 

[yidnar]

Now you know how Black males feel in todays living. How it feels to go into a bank and try to get a loan to start a business,to buy a house even. Black folks are still getting the behind the 8 ball syndrone. I see it on this board the lies being posted about the whole race. So you are getting just a little payback from your own folks,probably the same folks that are giving Black folks such a hard time.So live with it.

every advantage in the world can be given to blacks and they will still be screw ups.

White males are being pursecuted. I really don't need you to give me a statue as I am sure the statue did not mean that much to her. She just wanted equal rights as many of us white males wish for today.

As a white male I feel humiliated that I have to drink from a seperate water fountain

But on the bright side, 42 out of 43 Presidents have been white males

you are nothing more than a lazy socialist that sold his sole for union perks.
