"Racist" Humor

[Devastatin Dave]

.

Why is it then, that we hear very little ire/frustration directed against them, compared to the same that (in threads like this, for example) is directed against African Americans?

Because statistically blacks commit the most crime in the US. When I'm in a dangerous area in town, I'm not looking over my shoulder for Tony Saprano, I'm looking for Tyrone who is statistically more likely to bach me over the head.
I'm just "keepin it real".
Sasaki, you would be very suprised at how much rap and other bad influences influence Blacks in the US. Go to any public school that the majority is black and survey the kids there what they want to be. I bet you all the gold "teef" in East St Louis that the majority either want to be a rapper or a professional basketball player and their dress, actions, and grades will reflect their desire. Sorry, its just the truth. Its a harsh stereotype but its to common to simply call it a racist statement. When successful blacks in the US is considered Uncle Tom's or kissing the Man's ass by their fellow black citizens, then the problem can't simply be explained away by the "400 years of oppression" crapola that is always brought up. I bet 30 years from now they are going to be blacks using Katrina as an excuse to their dependency on government handouts and blame whitey for their condition. It gets old. So that's the true humor in all of this; the fact that so much money in taxes are put into programs to benefit blacks, afirmative action that uses a quota system not based on the quality of the worker but the color of the workers skin, and all the while the myth of the Man holding the black man down is the greatest "racist" joke ever told by liberal poverty pimps that simply sue blacks as a voting block because they know that all they have to do is promise more "free" handouts. If it wasn't so nausiating, I would have a good gut laugh over it.

And I also bet you all of the pointy white hoods with eyeholes cut in them south of the Mason-Dixon Line that most of the white kids in that same school would want to be rappers or basketball players if they could too.

But what would that matter anyway? Is it illegal to be a rapper or a basketball player?

That's where you're wrong.

You've filled this thread with anecdotal statements about how blacks are responsible for so many societal ills in America but supported those statements with nothing more than your own pet beliefs. This post in particular uses "I bets" and "you' be surprised's" to support further generalized statements about blacks as a whole.

But the greatest clue about your extreme ignorance on this topic is the fact that you refer to the "myth" of blacks being held down.

If you can't acknowledge the fact that blacks in America suffered hugely in the past, and continue to suffer now (though to a lesser extent) from oppression based on skin color, then it appears you have severe blinders on.

Your posts in this thread have embodied just about every reason why skin color will continue to be such a divider in the U.S. for a long time to come.

You're not getting it Dave. I am not arguing that blacks are not convicted of crime in the U.S. at a much higher rate than their proportional representation in the population. This is a reality I don't dispute.

Our differences of opinion are not in the "how much," but in the "why" blacks are being convicted of so much crime.

Ok, now I understand. Well, I'm sure you will disagree with this but i believe the largest factor is personal responsibility. I'm sure that does not jive with your opinion which is basically to blame everyone except the individual, that tends to be the mindset of your arguements. But I will concede that there has been many injustices done to blacks in the past, but I don't understand how a legal immagrant from India can come here and within a generation he's successful and his kids are in college while a large portion of blacks continue to use the victimhood from "whitey" as an excuse for their poverty, criminal acts, etc.

No, it's plain from the rest of your post that you don't.

Thanks for bringing Dorothy's empty-headed friend into the discussion, I wasn't sure if he was going to make it or not.



Contrary to the nonsensical viewpoint that you attempted to attribute to me, I believe that everybody is ultimately responsibly for their own decisions in life.

But having said that, there are sometimes circumstances in life that can "funnel" people into a downward spiral of bad decisions.

The problem is that hardcore lefties don't acknowledge the validity of the former, and hardcore righties don't acknowledge the existence of the latter.

Why don't we try to meet in the middle somewhere?

I am not saying the black kid who decides to sell crack is blameless. But I am also acknowledging that in many cases it may have seemed to that black kid like his choices were very limited. And the best way to lessen the chances of him making those bad decisions is to try to remove the circumstances that cause the funnel to come into being.

But I will concede that there has been many injustices done to blacks in the past, but I don't understand how a legal immagrant from India can come here and within a generation he's successful and his kids are in college

Because that immigrant from India was an immigrant, not an imported piece of property.

His/her ancestors didn't have to endure slavery, and oppression for four hundred years before they could open their own business.

while a large portion of blacks continue to use the victimhood from "whitey" as an excuse for their poverty, criminal acts, etc.

Hmmm. Average length of a white guy's jail sentence for a violent crime: a little over 6 and a half years. A black guy? Just under 8 and a half years. A white guy's sentence for a drug related crime? 5 years. A black guy? Over 8 and a half years. Overall average sentence length for a white guy: 3 years 9 months. A black guy? 7 years.

You're right Dave. There's no bias against African Americans in the system.

Whites oppressing blacks is a myth.




















P.S. It's "jibe," not "jive." Ebonics on the brain, Dave?

I did

Well, 1 out of 3. I didn't see what you are describing.
