You not prove my lack of critical thinking by asserting it. My opinions are not based on fashionable delusions, but by facts. Where are the facts that prove that I am mistaken?No it doesn't. You're confusing a piece of legislation with the thoughts, opinions and actions of racists.
The problem you've demonstrated over and over again in your postings is that you're unable to engage in critical thinking. That you cannot take a single instance and evaluate it objectively nor take an individual and evaluate them based on their own characteristics, attributes and abilities without dragging in a whole century's worth of outdated preconceived notions that are rife with racial stereotypes and biases.
That wall that you and other like you put up to impede the upward mobility of Black people is exactly why the current disparities exist, not the lack of abilities. And when people feel unwelcome, or judged and that everyone is just waiting for them to screw up so that they can then point and say "see I told you those Blacks aren't up to the job" then that stress itself can make them not do their best. Those are psychological stressors not lack of ability.
You mean where is my evidence that prove that you are mistaken?You not prove my lack of critical thinking by asserting it. My opinions are not based on fashionable delusions, but by facts. Where are the facts that prove that I am mistaken?
That is just exactly what I mean.You mean where is my evidence that prove that you are mistaken?
Do a search on my posting history. There is a wealth of information on this site which is properly cited as to the sources and include historical documents, landmark court cases including SCOTUS, written policies, current documents which are still being uncovered such as racially restrictive deeds which prohibited white homeowners from selling their property to a person of African descent.Document your assertions. Show me facts drawn by credible organizations that prove, or even indicate that the races are intrinsically equal.
I grew up in Compton, California. For the roughly 12 years or so that we lived there I can't remember our home or vehicles ever being the target of criminal activities. Our house was on a corner lot and there was a park across the street from our backyard. Our parents would let us camp outside overnight in our backyard which was viewable from the streets. No one ever bothered us. When we were out playing with our friends we were allowed to stay out until the street lights came on and then everyone would head home. No child abductions, no rapes that I can remember the adults talking about nothing like that.That is just exactly what I mean.
Name me me a few black majority public schools that safe and which get good scores on the objective tests.
Name me a few black neighborhoods that are safe to be in after dark.
Look, white have gotten what you call AA since 1776. Standards have always been altered or lowered for white. So shut up.Nope they're lowering standards
Just like they lower physical standards for women to join the military or become firefighters
Crap now 400 lb bipocs are gonna be tracking me
I should probably expect the FagBI

The school district had a festival orchestra that I was a member of and I excelled in my schoolwork however I was hardly the only one doing well.
Then we moved to the suburbs to an integrated neighborhood, which was very diverse and was a lot of fun.
I don't know what those neighborhoods are like these days but anywhere where there are less people moving in and moving out all of the time provides a bit more stability. That's one of the things that home ownership provides.
I am always eager to repost data that proves my assertions. How blacks were treated in the past does not affect their behavior and performance now. How blacks behave and perform now does affect the way they are treated now.Do a search on my posting history.

There are historical laws still on the books but rendered null and void that restricted the rights of Black people throughout our entire history on this land. It is not that Black people as a race are less capable than whites or anyone else, it's that the white supremacist who founded this land also created the laws stacked the deck in the favor of whites and to the detriment of anyone of African descent, freedman or slave. This was by design.
I don't have time just yet to go into depth on the lower numbers in cybersecurity of minorities but another member posted an article this evening about how the big tech companies who just laid off more than 12,000 workers have already applied for H-1B visas to bring in foreign workers at lower wages than those they just laid off.
What percentage of Black people are convicted criminals?That is not true of all Negroes, but it is true of most. Unfortunately, it has become fashionable to lie about Negro capabilities, and dangerous to tell the truth. Stereotypes are over generalizations of what is really true.
If you're speaking of a history and pattern of abuse and legislatively sanctioned disadvantages that impede forward momentum, then of course how Black people have been treated in the past has a cumulative impact on our race as a whole. But this is true of any group when all else is equal. There is no comparable group to people of African descent in the United States....How blacks were treated in the past does not affect their behavior and performance now. How blacks behave and perform now does affect the way they are treated now.
Thanks, but we were kids and didn't know anything differently than the enjoyment and pleasure of being with our family and spending time with them and our cousins, aunts & uncles who would come to town to visit from "back east". That was ALWAYS a special treat when they visited because it meant "We're going to Disneyland! [cue the sound of a bunch of kids collectively losing their mindsI am glad you were safe.

All you had to do in those days was walk into a book store and ask. I can remember seeing those guides.If you're speaking of a history and pattern of abuse and legislatively sanctioned disadvantages that impede forward momentum, then of course how Black people have been treated in the past has a cumulative impact on our race as a whole.

Think of it this way. Back before the advent of the internet the only way to get information was to go to the library. Even if your family was big into reading materials as mine was, our World Book encyclopedias were only as current as the date of publication which is why a "year book" was issued to members annually with current events of the previous year. So with that background in mind, let me give you a scenario
Let's say you want to be an air traffic controller because a friend of the family is an air traffic controller and you think it's a interesting field. So you ask someone (no internet) and discover that the first step is you have to pass the civil service exam that is administered for anyone wanting to work in that field.
Do you think you would do well or better on passing this exam if you know what to expect when you take it? How about if you had the ability to practice taking those types of written government issued exams? How many people do you think even know that preparatory materials even exist? Remember this is way back before there was an Amazon "book store" or anyway to do any online research, if you even knew to try to locate resources to help you not just pass the exam but to end up in the top 10%.
People in the know, would be directed to their local library which should have copies of the test training materials - The Civil Service Test Exam books. But if you were in a legally racially segregated community with less, little or no money to pay for a "separate but equal" library and by law, you're not allowed into the "white library" do you think that would put you at a disadvantage?
None of this is a matter of pure intelligence, its familiarity, opportunity, attitude, beliefs and support systems.
Load of BS.I am always eager to repost data that proves my assertions. How blacks were treated in the past does not affect their behavior and performance now. How blacks behave and perform now does affect the way they are treated now.
Maybe that's all Whites had to do...All you had to do in those days was walk into a book store and ask. I can remember seeing those guides.
What, now you are trying to tell us that blacks were banned from bookstores in the sixties, seventies and eighties? That’s funny, I saw quite a few in places like B. Dalton Booksellers and never saw any signs saying no blacks allowed.Maybe that's all Whites had to do...
Keep dreaming - xxx xxxxxx. Mod Edited as name calling not allowed in Zone 1 Race thread.Load of BS.
......Blacks don't act any different than anyone else, but another problem you have is ignorance of psychology. The past impacts today. And racism impacts blacks now because it continues to exist due to people such as you.
What that an affirmative action op post?Your link is broken. You have to first identify the problem, need or deficiency before you can address it.

How can you say that? If you are talking from your experiences, you don’t know most black people. I have worked with as many incompetent whites as I have blacks, maybe more.That is not true of all Negroes, but it is true of most. Unfortunately, it has become fashionable to lie about Negro capabilities, and dangerous to tell the truth. Stereotypes are over generalizations of what is really true.
