Yeah, it's not good at all...

If they would just listen to what real men like this guy tell them



instead of this guy



maybe we could really progress. They will never understand how wrong they are because they refuse to entertain thenotionthat they are wrong.

If you actually want what's best for those communities and have any sense, you call these racial profiteers out for the scum they are, and I don't use that term lightly. These racializers are a not so insignificant part of the problem.

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.

Maybe we should focus on these problems instead of people having their feelings hurt because some people don’t like them.

Some white people dont like black people.
Some black people don’t like white people.
Some people don’t like anyone.

Stop trying to make everyone feel sorry for you for something we didn’t do to you

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.
So you are equating having a swollen gland removed from your anal tissue as equivalent to growing a child inside if you for 9 months and then pushing it out multi-pound being through a very, very small hole that literally stretches and rips. All while typically conscious no less.

Yea, okay. If hemorrhoid surgery is that bad for you, would not survive the first trimester of being pregnant. Screw the birth.

Not liking someone strictly based on their skin color is wrong. No other way to spin it. Sorry you feel bad that people point out the issue and ignorance. If you don't want to be labeled a racist, don't be racist.

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.
It is not fair from either side which you don't seem to want to acknowledge . Question...Instead of you letting this matter bother you so much , why don't you put this energy into the horrible crimes that your race is committing against each other all over the country? I grew up in the inner city and had close black friends, one even defended me one day from getting the hell beat out of me for being white.

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.
Please read closer then respond. I said racism will never end. That is a totally different issue than oppression. I said Obama wasn't oppressed, not that he didn't suffer racism.

Okay, can you provide any proof of this claim? I'll gladly wait....

Just turn on the news. We have Congress people openly telling the press they need to get "white men" voted out. They openly talk about not supporting Biden and Sanders because they are white. The crazy left have taken a stance that white men are evil and must be purged, and it is openly celebrated by media and whacked out leftist followers. Percieved racism by white people is being countered by open and blatant racism by minorities on a national level. Every white man is so terrified of being labeled a racist or misogynist or xenophobe or any other derogatory label, they mostly stay silent on the issue and avoid the wrath of the mob left.

We have far departed the beliefs of MLK. Freedom and equality are no longer the objectives and haven't been for some time. Those things have mostly been achieved. Now its revenge. Only its revenge by people who mostly didnt live during the tough times against people who also had nothing to do with those times.

I'll never understand why so many of you spend so much of your time arguing that something doesn't exist when it clearly does.

Why is it so painful for you to say racism still exists today? That it's just not as out in the open? That people, particular black people, face discrimination every day in the work force, by police, by regular citizens, etc?

It won't make you feel less of a man. I promise.

Racism is an issue from any race to another. It's simple as that. You still have not shown me any evidence where black on white racism is a prevalent issue in society. White people have long had freedoms in this country. Long before they covered blacks as well. White people were never segregated in America were they? White people did not need civil rights legislation to be given equal rights. I don't recall whites ever being labeled an inferior race.

Black on black crime is an issue, as is all crime in this country. That doesn't mean racism isn't as well. One doesn't not magically outweigh the other and mean we should stop working to improve it. Murder is less common than rape, so should we stop worrying about murder and only focus on rape? Using your logic we would.

How was he not oppressed? Just because someone became successful does not mean they were not oppressed along they way. They just became successful in spite of it. Dr. King was a success, do you honestly think he did not deal with oppression?

Can you please cite where congressional members where saying to vote white men out. I think you may find they were saying they wanted more females and members of minorities to make up a congress actually representative of the America we all live in today. And why should it not? If half the US is women, should they not have an equal voice in congress. If The make up of our country is becoming more mixed, should our representatives not be as well?

Good Lord, where do you come up with these crazy conspiracies?

The point is it...

-doesn't exist to the extent you think it does.
-doesn't help you or anyone else if you blame your problems on others instead of accepting full personal responsibility.
-tribalism is dangerous and these racializers don't want what's best for you.

also, the logic you use to support your beliefs doesn't stand up to scrutiny. I want you to stop actually feeling less of a man

Luckily I have not had it, my father and brother both did and they said it was very unpleasant. I still doubt they would use that to justify telling women the rigors of pregnancy and birth.

I agree it is very wrong but I’m not going to waste my breath on those people. Let’s not pretend it’s only white people though.

We live in one of if not the most liberal and accepting nation on earth. Every day people have every day problems that don’t include worrying about how someone feels about them.

Being poor, whether you are black or white, is the biggest "oppression" in America today. Not having the means to advance in society is a much bigger hindrance than "racism".

With Affirmative Action and quotas, being a minority actually is an advantage when individuals actually try to better themselves.

If ANYONE states a viewpoint that is even remotely perceived as "racist", they are called out IMMEDIATELY and can have their lives DESTROYED, even if their was NO INTENT.

It's not at all, but they are the largest culprit of it and face far less than others. I still would like to end it, but lets be honest...black people are far far far more likely to experience it than whites. Agree?

No one with any honesty or clue would say America isn't ahead of a lot of others at this point, but we still have a ways to go and racism and oppression to still exist in America. We are over 150 years removed from slavery and another 50 from civil rights era. It is past time this crap ends.

I think you meant too.

Sure okay. So far you have only posted right-wing propaganda that crumbles when challenged, but if you need to believe your drivel to keep the narrative alive, be my guest.
Nothing crumbled except your inability to understand or unwillingness to see the points being made.

Black people are far more likely to experience racism in white dominate areas.

White people are far more likely to experience racism in black dominant areas.

People gather and empathize with people that are similar to them.

Focus on treating everyone with respect until they do something that changes that.

Personally I focus on things that people can control like hygiene and attitude when I am avoiding people. If someone is nasty or acting nasty I don’t want to be around them.

Well, I have been called the N word by white people more times than I could ever count. I have been told I am less of a person because of my skin color. Growing up there were multiple places I could not attend simply because of my skin color. I am an avid golfer. I have been told I can't play certain courses in the past because I was black. My kids were told they weren't allowed to play with some white kids simply because they were black. I have had neighbors in my past tell me I should not be allowed to live in their neighborhood because I was black. I have had women tell me they could not date me or introduce me to their parents because I was black. I have paid more in insurance because I was black. These are just a few of them. Now care to tell us yours?
How old are you 90-100?

Stop telling white people they are racists because they are white. That’s a good start. I’ve never talked down to a single person of color on my life and as far as I can remember have never looked at anyone different because of something they can’t control like skin color.

Things like weight, hygiene, attitude is what separates people not skin color. If I avoid a group of black people its because that particular group earned that from me. Same goes for white people.

How about YOU show me the "data" that states that Affirmative Action" has NOT been an advantage for ANY minority since it's inception?
Well, there would only be data to prove it had been. They aren't going to generate data to prove what what wasn't. So anytime on that data. I'll be here waiting like

Okay, so go ahead and show us some proof of this claim. I really want to see the factual data you have which supports it.

Just Google Harvard acceptance of Asian-Americans as opposed to African-Americans and you'll see "data" that supports how quotas have helped blacks over even other minorities.

Well, America is pretty white the last time I checked. Sure as hell a lot more white majority areas than black majority areas. So by your own statement, black people are much more likely to experience racism in America than whites.

I can't make you accept any truths you don't want to believe. He was targeted for his birth records and certificate for years. Simply because he was the first major black candidate and the first black president. That is oppression whether you want to admit it or not.

Where did I say I experienced slavery? You do also realize the act of slavery is not dead in the world or even America, correct? Countless children and women are sold into sex slavery yearly.


So tell us about your mistreatments based on your racial profile. I would like to hear about it.
Slavery of the kind in which you speak has been over. Yes illegal sex slavery is everywhere but, focus on the word illegal.

Growing up in Louisville I have had my share of being called white boy, cracker and other words from youths when I was young. Also, playing basketball for military teams while in I was relegated to the bench while being the only white goy on the team and I was better that half on the team. In some cases, not making the team because they could have only 15 players and I was the only white guy there. I was better than some that made it. A buddy on mine quit one team because he saw it too and did not think it was right.

First few years in the military during the 70's there was a lot of racial tension that saw mistreatment from all sides. Blacks against Whites and vice verse. American/Mexican vs Puerto Ricans (Actually was worse than White on Black).

Racial prejudices are out there but, once again, not anywhere near as bad as it was or as bad as we are being lead to believe.
