How is not wanting to hear from someone who would have no idea or experience with it racist? If a white person wants to have a discussion on race, slavery and so forth I have no issue and actually welcome it. If they start telling me about my racial experiences, how I should feel about them, blaming me for them, trying to tell me it is something else it total ******** and ignorant considering they have no experience living as a black person. If a women did not want to hear from a man about the pains of childbirth, considering he would never actually know about it, would she then be sexist?

First, I'd like to know your real age. Some of the things you're stating haven't happened in decades. Those things are horrible but they aren't oppression in the way you are using it. What I want to hear is how you were stopped from getting any education you wanted or denied a job or promotions simply because of your race. That doesn't exist anymore and my evidence of that is the large and growing number of affluent, wealthy blacks in this country. Dr. Ben Carson experienced most of the same things but he wasn't oppressed. He succeeded in a huge way after growing up in the projects. Anyone can find success in this country. The only thing holding them back, whether they want to admit it or not, is almost always themselves.
What would it take for this thread to be deleted? Someone needs to jump on the grenade and take a ban for the team.

How do you know that person didn’t have any experience . Again why haven’t you gone to a civil rights activist like Ricky jones , I’m telling you , you would be known
But it never stopped you from talking about my Dad. Hmmm...is that part of your double standard? I will pass on you now going forward. One adage I use and try to adhere to is to not cast my pearls before swine. (If that fits you it is a bad thing. I hope it doesn't but you be good.)
Being born during segregation should be a blessing? I should thank God for being targeted and ridiculed for my skin color?
Your racial stereotyping doesn't really bother me. Your hypocrisy does.
I've had some success getting these threads deleted in the past.
The racializers will eventually get very nasty in their name calling, so just keep prodding them with reality and they lose their marbles.
God loves you even if white folks don't. He is no judge of color. Try it.
So yes be thankful you were born into the United States of America. Be thankful you were not born in Africa where slavery exists to this day and where a history of selling their own people into slavery is part of the culture. You are blessed.
Not sure about what it would take but several do need their posting rights removed for a while. They have some real demented takes on life and living. I just put one poster on ignore solely because I will not waste any more time with him. He is a trouble-maker and is posting just to make trouble. No other way to take him. (Only poster I have on ignore not that it matters but I do not like to waste my time. At 57 the time goes by too quickly.)
Bet if the shoe had Che Guevaras face on it or cops as pigs on it he would've been fine with it.
Kaepernicks a joke and so is anyone that supports him

My daughter is in an interracial marriage. Her husband's family lives in Memphis and on a recent visit they went to the MLK museum ...before they left they were both livid because she said she had never been called so many names before in her life. So we don't need all this BS by guys that are hypocrites like CK when this most definitely a two way street with all the race hustlers that get way to much air time in this country.
You would just say I as lying because it doesn't fit the narrative you choose to believe.
Well, considering I was limited in the schools I could attend growing up to black only there were many limits on the education I could get. We had crappy, dilapidated school buildings. Torn and damaged book if we even had any and some of the worst teachers that were sent to segregated school. So no, that was far from fair or equal.
I have been passed over for jobs and promotions because of race. Some of the places I wanted to work growing up did not employ black people.
If anyone can find success, why isn't everyone a success. Most people want it and work for it and still never really get it. Obama was considered a success for a black man, are you honestly ignorant enough to say he did not deal with racism almost daily? What do success and racism have to do with one another? You can still face racism and be successful. That does not mitigate the racism and it's existence. Nor does it make it okay to ignore.
I talked abut your dad because I know it bothered you. Pretty simple really.
Or Castro, Farrakhan, Jeremiah Wright....Yes, theses are guys we should look up to to heal the divisions in this country.
No doubt! But I am talking about America and the racist white people who live in it.
You know not all of Africa is like that, right?
Sad. Have a cousin with similar story...they moved to ATL from Lou because they thought it'd be easier on their future kids...the lighter skinned kids had a terrible time with bullying down there.
And if she really did, it was wrong and I apologize she had to experience it. That still does not make it okay against anyone else though.
Obama became the President of the United States. I think that proves a lack of white oppression. Racism is a different thing and will always exist. There are plenty of racist blacks too.
Don't be dense, schmuck. We already covered it. I don't have the kind of spare time you do to write treatises on a discussion board.
We'll go to hell then. And who gives and eff about your feelings anyway, about what makes you mad. If blacks are so damn sensitive that they are intolerant to perspectives other than that of their own skin color then they are absolutely the most racist and bigoted.
Yep, you got us, 1 bi-racial president over the course of 45 proved racism is no longer. Screw the fact he dealt with racism his entire presidency and afterwards. Screw the birther conspiracy fueled by Trump. Screw the fact his wife and daughters were compared to apes. He was president so therefore racism is dead. By your own words and logic, we are definitely once sexist *** country then.
These bigots think there are vast swaths of racist people roaming the streets in America just waiting for their opportunity to exercise some phantom privilege and authority on lesser people.
No, the reality is these racializers need to fix themselvesfirst , then maybe we can actually start talking about fixing real problems.

What perspective. How can a white person give a black person perspective on what it's like to be black or live as a black person? It isn't physically possible.
As a man, would you tell a women what it is like to be pregnant and give birth to a child? If you did, would you honestly expect her to listen or take you even remotely serious?
This will be a very unpopular opinion, but it is more likely black kids will be accepted in a white community vs the opposite. It is socially acceptable in this country for black people to hate white people. While there are definitely white racists, it is not socially acceptable by any group of people.
Okay, can you provide any proof of this claim? I'll gladly wait....
Because blacks in North America were not the only people in the history of the world to have been slaves, and not of those currently living have been. You are a moron.
I have been to the African American museum in DC several times and never have had an issue. Got several races running around my home. (I'm a white dude from the deep dark jungles of Detroit.)

And that makes it all okay how? Nah, I was just alive during segregation, pre-civil rights.
You do realize slavery still exist in the world and America, right? It may no longer be targeted to blacks, and it typically is sex slavery nowadays, so yes, there are still slaves today.
If you think I am a moron, what does that say about you for arguing with me for 2 days on here?
So you are saying you have instead spent 2 days ridiculing someone you think is a moron? How is that any better?
Still not saying very much about yourself or life.I tried but to no avail. (I do not hate him. I do wish him some good luck. He's going to need it with that outlook.
(An aside; I'd make him livid if I told him who was sitting to the left and right of that cake in my avatar. (I took the picture) He'd swear I was lying.) That picture was taken in a prime steak and seafood restaurant in San Antonio Texas.
Maybe I just enjoy beating up on blacks?So you are saying you have instead spent 2 days ridiculing someone you think is a moron? How is that any better?
Have had hemorrhoid surgery...trust me if childbirth is any worse than that I would never have children!!!! LOL, although for two and a half months nothing was funny.
