Zone1 When Will Black People Get Over The Past?

[MizMolly]

Amazing. I just explained to you how this all works and you immediately revert to the exact same behavior based on the same erroneous assumptions.

So in your opinion, white women are NOT the group who have benefited most from affirmative action? Why or why not and based on what sources of information?

I have not seen proof, nor have I experienced AA. What behavior have I reverted to? It is an ASSumption on white women being the biggest beneficiaries of AA. I’m not saying no white women are hired solely on race and gender, I have not seen it, I don’t believe it is true as a group.

You found Obama being poor at race relations funny? Strange.

Obama had no problem with race relations. People like you had a problem with a black president.

There are millions upon millions of white people in this country, and they don't all treat blacks identically. The same can be said about blacks regarding whites. Broad brushing achieves nothing except resentment.

Racism is also systemic. Continuing to pretend it only about individual treatment creates resentment of whites.

Obama wasn't black he was mixed race. His mother American white, his father was Kenyan black. Many Americans struggle with facts.

Obama was black. If he was on a most wanted poster he wiuld be blacks a low lifes such as you would not be making these claims. So until you can do the same with light skinned half white criminals, Obama is black.

You have a place at the table, but what have you brought to the table other than grievances?

Don't be white telling me what I have. I know how things are, not the way you pretend they are.

That was 102 years ago. Is anyone still alive to tell?

And the Revolutionary War was 246 years ago. You still celebrate that.

 

[IM2]

It's a childish attempt at whataboutism employed by a weak intellect.

It's the truth you can't face.

In your opinion. Mine differs.

Continuing to pretend it only about individual treatment creates resentment of whites.

I don't care what you resent. Not my problem.

No, I don't.

People like to celebrate victories

Oh yes he did, explains all in the link -

Barack Obama legacy: Did he improve US race relations?

Barack Obama sealed his racial legacy the moment he sealed victory in the 2008 election.

He's mixed race, that's a biological fact.

Mixed race is black in the US. It was black under the US Jim Crowe laws - the one drop rule, and now when a black wins the highest office he isn’t black?

The last part of your post is only a thrown up problem because the first part of your post is wrong (although by the looks of it, only right in the US)

It’s how it was defined in tbe U.S. when it came to segregation. Seems odd to suddenly change it when it comes to lauding something positive..oh wait he isn’t really black enough for the purpose of accomplishments but he is black enough to be segregated.

"Actionable" grievances should be settled in court.

If only it were that simple. There are dozens of ways to thwart a person's ability to obtain justice utilizing the court system.

The laws may have changed, attitudes and beliefs though, not as much as many white people want to believe.

 

[NewsVine_Mariyam]

You’re talking about crimes apparently. And I don’t doubt for a moment that some crimes are committed based largely on racist motivations.

You don’t want to forgive that? Cool. Don’t. But just be careful not to generalize the criminal racist behavior of a few to all people belonging to the racial group of the criminals in question. For that is prejudice.

If you do it, you are prejudging all of a race based on the behavior of just a few. That’s racism, not so pure but pretty simple.

You're mistaken, about all of the above.

It's not an opinion, it's a fact supported by history.

No. I’m entirely and fully correct.

And worse yet, for you, you know it!
