Obama: America's 'Deeply Rooted' Racism Will Take Time To Tackle

Who started racism?

They have no quiver. Or as i like to refer to them, "empty toolbags".

Beats empty heads...

Pffft. THAT is your response? Jesus Christ.....What a fucking loser.

 

[PaintMyHouse]

It's ridiculous. The word has lost all meaning.

Sure thing. It used to mean people making judgments based on race, and now it means people making judgments based on race. I can see why you're confused.

I know. His post was so profound how could I have responded that casually...

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama is prescribing time and vigilance to tackle problems as entrenched in American society as racism and bias.

He also is urging patience, saying progress usually comes in small steps.

In an interview with BET, the president described his conversation with a group of young civil rights activists, including a leader of protests in Ferguson, Missouri, he hosted last week in the Oval Office.

Obama said he told them that "this is something that is deeply rooted in our society, it's deeply rooted in our history."

America has made gains, and that "gives us hope" of making more progress, he said.

"We can't equate what is happening now to what was happening 50 years ago," Obama said, "and if you talk to your parents, grandparents, uncles, they'll tell you that things are better, not good in some places, but better."

Obama said he is advising young people to be persistent because "typically progress is in steps, it's in increments.

President Obama is correct - but none of us will ever live long enough to see it end. I can't even imagine how it can or will end. Will it ever end before humans become extinct?

I disagree. I'd say 2 generations more at most. 50 years ago it was okay to say black people were subhuman. Today your opinion is immediately dismissed if you're a racist in almost all forums (anywhere I'm not just talking internet). Well except USMB/Stormfront Lite. I don't think affirmative action will be around much longer and 50 years from now skin color won't be a problem. Ideologies and religions however...

50 years ago? LBJ those uppity Negros

The genre of Obama race speeches has always been bounded by the job he was hired to do. Specifically, Barack Obama is the president of the United States of America. More specifically, Barack Obama is the president of a congenitally racist country, erected upon the plunder of life, liberty, labor, and land. This plunder has not been exclusive to black people. But black people, the community to which both Michael Brown and Barack Obama belong, have the distinct fortune of having survived in significant numbers. For a creedal country like America, this poses a problem—in nearly every major American city one can find a population of people whose very existence, whose very history, whose very traditions, are an assault upon this country's nationalist instincts. Black people are the chastener of their own country. Their experience says to America, "You wear the mask."

It's sadly pathetic to watch racists try to blame blacks and Democrats for the racial divide.

What's sad is that you always have to post a quote from someone else then add your little "me to" one liner.

Are you capable of independent thought Lakhota?

I'm on an ignore binge today and you are right on the cusp.

Is there any reason to believe that you will in the future add ANYTHING worthy of discussion to threads? Regurgitating the thoughts of others with snide one line remarks doesn't count.

Lakhota is representative of liberal groupthink.

He's on ignore now, so I won't talk bad about him.


So sick of people though.

Even more, now that our first black President made it worse.

In the conservatives version of history I've personally heard spoken of many times, the slaves didn't really have it as bad as some say. No, they were given a place to live and a livelihood. They seem to interpret that movie, Song of the South, as if it was meant as a biographical depiction of how happy slaves really were.

No doubt, in this depiction of history, people who were trying to set the slaves free were rabble rousers who fostered race hatred by trying to disrupt an equitable system that provide the po' Black folk with a job and a home.

Do conservatives really think most people that that kind of tripe seriously? It only serves to make conservatives look like the racists other people say they are.

What the hell are you yammering about?
Genius, nobody cares about that shit.

Perhaps. Perhaps not. All I know is that at one time I didn't have a problem voting for a Republican candidate if and when I thought he was the better person for the job. At this point, I would NEVER vote for a Republican as long as lying conservatives have a lock on the party apparatus because my experience has shown me two things that are undeniably true in my experience.

Point one, I've already made. They're shameless and unapologetic liars who absolutely cannot be trusted.

Point two is that they're incompetent due either to their ideological fervor which prevents them from pursuing pragmatic solutions which may fall outside of their ideological orthodoxy, OR they intentionally run the gov't into the ground so they can later stand back and say that gov't is not the solution. Either way, a lot of people, whether liberal, moderate, or conservative, get shafted by such blatant incompetence.

Right now, conservatives have the House and the Senate. Put another conservative in the WH and watch them do the same thing to the economy that Bush did. Watch them turn every gov't agency into organizations that worked like FEMA after Hurricane Katrina when it couldn't get Federal Gov't emergency help to the middle of the country for four full days after the hurricane. Watch them turn the SEC into the lapdog for Wall Street crooks. Watch them as they turn the EPA into a toothless agency that can't even prevent pollution from poisoning our lakes and rivers. Watch them turn the FDA into an organization that turns a blind eye to food inspections. Then someone will propose market-based solutions which is just another way of saying trust without verifying a damn thing. And they'll all get off Scot-free because the fix will be in from the start.

[thereisnospoon]

Who started racism?

No one can answer that question.
Shit, light skinned blacks look down on dark skinned blacks.
Asian cultures have a pecking order from the Japanese hating all other Asians, to Koreans hating Chinese and Vietnamese and so on.
Russians( Cossacks) hate Slavic people. Northern Europeans have always looked down on Southern Euros( Nordic supremacy)
Various Arabic cultures hate each other. And the most hated and looked down upon group in the Middle East are Palestinians.
So the question "who started racism" is impossible to answer.
Racism is part of humanity.
One could say that because humans prefer to associate those who are like themselves, that is inherently racist.
So you are asking human beings to stop being human.
Leaders of certain racial groups albeit with very radical views, declare that Caucasians who only date and mate with other Caucasians are acting out of racial hatred....
Worse yet, there are people who actually buy into that bullshit.

In the conservatives version of history....

Meanwhile, in the 21st Century, black idiots riot, and burn down businesses in their own community, because lies about their current "martyr" didn't result in the indictment of a cop.

You make it sound like conservatives are always the victims of lies and never the perpetrators of them. I know that to be the antithesis of reality after twenty years of listening to nonstop RW propaganda which has had about as much in common with the truth as the porn industry has in common with the celibate lifestyle. Put more plainly, my experience over that period is that conservatives unapologetically lie about everything under the sun all the time, and they do it with a straight face in order to further their agenda. They're not even embarrassed by it. I take no pleasure in it at all since I consider it wholly disheartening. With that said, if given a choice on who to believe in almost any dispute involving conservatives, I'm probably more likely to take the word of a devil-worshipping convicted criminal than I would be to take the word of someone who's an avowed conservative and who wears his belief in Jesus and his conservative Christianity as a badge of honor.

You make it sound like blacks and liberals are always the victims of lies and never the perpetrators of them.
