Judge Sends Shirtless Pic

legacy0100 says...

Or is this another case of Racial bias, that we put black men on different moral standards because we 'expect' them to act quirky like this and see it as source of entertainment? While when a white guy like Anthony Weiner does it, he's taken much seriously and isn't expected to act such ways. I mean what the fuck is going on here. Why is this 'awesome'?

Petition to Apply Affirmative Action to the Basketball Team

longde says...

My friend, I must disagree. While explicit guidelines and laws exist -- pushing racial diversity and punishing racial discrimination-- that benefit non-whites, the advantages in this society are still firmly in the hands of whites. Most of the advantages today are unspoken and subtle, but undeniable; especially if you are on the outside looking in.

I live in Asia now, and when you are away from the country for a while, and return, the racial bias that Americans have in public and private places becomes even more stark in comparison, and even more intolerable for me.

Anyway, this may all be a moot point if these idiot politicians kill the dollar and my 401k this week, by defaulting the government. Then there will be no more perks to squabble over.

It's all perception, Dude. Compared to the 60s, race is a very minor factor...subqualified yokels (a hilariously apt term) are EVERYWHERE and all colors of the rainbow. Only in government/political circles are race and gender (and now Gay) overemphasized and CRITICAL for appearances at jobs that exist solely to expand government sloth by putting asses in seats (literally and figuratively).
Though the length and breadth of our disappointments in life differ, by weight or volume most of us have more in common than we do differences. You were probably less devestated than I was that Ivanka Trump has been both married off and knocked up in the past 3 years.

^haha, no need to apply QM, you're already a full-fledged member of the club.
In fact, most members are like you: blissfully unaware that they receive benefits.
However, some of us have been in a position of doing everything you listed, and being passed over for subqualified yokels who happen to hold membership.


Morgan Freeman On Black History Month

>> ^quantumushroom:
Please to understand: slavery was/is a worldwide phenomenon and at one time or another EVERY race has been enslaved.
Freeman is more free than the liberal doctrine trying to stuff him in a poor-me victicrat cubbyhole.


What made American slavery unique was how it was coupled with racism. Historically, slavery has not had a racial bias. Whether you want to acknowledge it or not, that legacy of slavery lives on today in the form of extreme poverty handed down from generation to generation, and I find your dismissal of these people as 'poor-me victicrats' to be disgusting.

Have you ever considered breaking out the ideological restraints that bind you? I would have less of a problem with your opinions if I had the feeling that you'd come up with them on your own. Look at all the cliches and slogans in your tiny incoherent argument: "other countries had slaves too" "liberal doctrine" "poor me" "victicrat"

Take away the slogans and you are left with nothing.

PSA: Black Man in an Elevator

9232 says...

I took a few criminal justice courses in college. 30% of all black men in the country are either in prison, going to prison, or have been in prison. In Washington, DC, 50% of all black men have or will have a criminal background. The likelihood of a black man stealing a white woman's purse in an elevator is far, far higher than if it were a white man. I'm surprised so many comments state that there is little to no racial bias going on in such situations, considering the gigantic gap in criminality between whites and blacks.

Simply put, if whites and blacks had identical, or even remotely similar criminality rates, then, and only then, would I possibly believe that white women had identical "purse defending" behavior around both groups of men.
Until that day, I'm not buying it. (This Scientific American article on Buried Prejudice is pretty good: http://www.sciam.com/article.cfm?id=buried-prejudice-the-bigot-in-your-brain&print=true)

I also thought it was clear that the video is an angry, and yes, racist response to racism the creator feels exists. That's kinda the point. What goes around comes around.

Louis Theroux - Black Supremacists

> Sorry, I speak english. English my good man.

Many of us speak English also, NickyP. I'd bet there are probably 1.8 times more people in the world who spell that word "organization". I am sure you could punch each word into Google and get the total occurrences of each word if your were interested. Who cares though, Jozephs racial bias is 100 times more detestable than your language issues.
