Actually Polish at first weren't considered White, and experienced discrimination for being Catholic, and Polish. Which still lives on in the dumb Polak joke. Soon after Polish were considered White, there was Affirmative Action against White males. So, one could make the conclusion that Polish, like Italians, and some others were considered non-White when it was good to be White, and White when it was bad to be White.
Dude, I had fresh off the boat, peasant, illiterate, Italian grandparents, who were (obviously) Catholic. So please spare me the pity party. There is no comparison between that short lived non-institutionalized prejudice and the oppression of blacks. My Nana could have peed in the inside, clean toilets in the Deep South. And she could (and did) buy a house in the suburbs of Detroit in the early 1970s, where NOBODY sold to black Americans, even if they had much more money to buy.
If no one was selling to them they would not have been able to move to areas that had higher white populations in the 60s and 70s. The demographics of entire neighborhoods and cities have changed in the last 50 years.
How many moved within walking distance of Detroit, to a lower middle class city named Royal Oak, which is indistinguishable from Detroit neighborhoods, in the 1960 and 1970s? In 1990. It was still less than 2 percent black, and in 2010 it's still less than 5 percent black. Royal Oak isn't even remotely unique.
I have many, many more cities I can name where the demographics have fliped since the 1950s. You are talking about a small part of one city. There are more white people. It's stands to reason they would be the majority in most places
I am not taking about one small part of a city. Nice try. You seem to have no idea that most of the posters on this forum, and more than likely most of the people you know have white cultural autism.
Chester PA, Camden NJ, Atlantic City NJ, Wilmington DE, Philadelphia PA, Trenton NJ. All high crime areas. All have had a demographic shift since the 1950s.
Do you mean during the great migration out of the south, when we were in the midst of the worst tyranny of the Jim Crow era? Are you talking about those 1950s, when the black homicide rate was much higher than it is today?
And in Philly too: MAYOR CHANGES TUNE ON BLACK-VIOLENCE DISCUSSION Rebukes author for citing crime problems after calling for conversation http://www.wnd.com/2013/04/mayor-changes-tune-on-black-violence-discussion/#4oki5Jdfod7dsCjL.99 ....But what are the actual circumstances of crime in Philadelphia? Over the last two decades, the city has lost 32% of its white population, or 263,254 people. During that time, crime was a major concern. In the late 1990s, blacks were 43% of Philadelphia’s population and 76% of the alleged murderers (see chart below). Whites were 52% of the population but just 5% of alleged murderers. [Chart] Today, blacks are 42% of Philadelphia’s population and 83% of known murder offenders. Whites are now 37% of the population and 4% of known murder offenders. The chart comes from a report titled “Murder Is No Mystery: An Analysis of Philadelphia Homicide, 1996-1999,” which was released in 2001 and provocatively asked: If this went on in your own neighborhood, would you stay? Would you go out at night? Would you consider leaving the neighborhood, or even the city, if you could? Of course you would. A quarter of a million whites did indeed leave. As for race and crime in Philadelphia, most murders in the city were Intraracial, black-on-black crimes. Of Black murder victims, 95% were killed by other Blacks. However, the report pointed to a major, noteworthy Exception: “Caucasians and Asian Americans, on the other hand, were both more likely to be Murdered by an individual of another Race.” ..... Have a nice page! Opponents excuses galore. Yes, "whites are committing most of the crimes on blacks"! +
I live on the on the East Side in Manhattan. Basically, below 96th st, You are safer than Iowa. It's rich, white, and we have serviles like you to grow 'hydroponics' we buy in gourmet stores. Virtually all the crime is in Harlem, and outer [browner] boroughs like Bronx and Brooklyn. Though even Brooklyn is being gentrified. During the winter, it's the gold coast of Florida, where one does have some contact, at least a drive-by. noblesse oblige +
why would you defile yourself being served by such people? what is the solution? can harlem be bombed? or at least poisoned?
Between the years of 1882 - 1968 about 3,400 Blacks were lynched in the U.S.A. That's a 86 year period. Meanwhile in recent years 12,000 - 20,000 people have been murdered in a single year, about half of those are Blacks murdered by Blacks. In a single year there are more Blacks killed by other Blacks in the U.S.A, than the 86 year period of Blacks killed by lynching by Whites. So, you tell me what's going on there? Also there were over 1,000 Whites lynched in that 86 year period.
I'm surprised because a lot of Italians don't like Blacks. Yet, here you are bending over backwards for Blacks. Yet, there's loads of anti-Italian prejudices from Mafia movies like the Good Fellas, the Godfather, and others, not to mention the TV show the Sopranos, and then some reality shows which are anti-Italian like MTV's Jersey Shore, Jersey Culture, Real Mob Wives etc. I've even seen some anti-Italian commercial ads, depicting fat Italian grandmothers selling tomato sauce, and so forth. I don't get why you think the Blacks are picked on worse than the Italians?
There are other kinds of homicide, genius. And there were fewer people who died on 9-11. Except the terrorists in the Jim Crow era were the ones controlling every police department, every courthouse, and every dark corner where a white person might be.
Comparing 86 years to a matter of minutes in 9/11 is truly ridiculous. Especially considering in many cases these Blacks were probably actually criminals who were lynched.
So, tell us why more Blacks were killed in 1 year by other Blacks, than Blacks were killed by Whites in 86 recorded years of lynching?
Lynching is not the only kind of homicide. That is the most insane thing to keep repeating. Keep drinking the Kool Aid pal.
One white man was convicted of first degree murder from the 1860s to 1960s. So just one white man murdered black man in nearly 100 years. Those lynchings were not murders. That is what the official crime stats show.
Color of Crime update/summary excerpts http://www.amren.com/the-color-of-crime/ ...... Crime rates There are dramatic race differences in crime rates. Asians have the Lowest rates, followed by whites, and then Hispanics. Blacks have notably high crime rates. This pattern holds true for virtually all crime categories and for virtually all age groups. In 2013, a black was Six times more likely than a non-black to commit murder, and 12 times more likely to murder someone of another race than to be murdered by someone of another race. Urban centers In 2014 in New York City, a black was 31 times more likely than a white to be arrested for Murder, and a Hispanic was 12.4 times more likely. For the crime of “shooting” — defined as firing a bullet that hits someone — a black was 98.4 times more likely than a white to be arrested, and a Hispanic was 23.6 times more likely. If New York City were all white, the Murder rate would Drop by 91%, the robbery rate by 81%, and the shootings rate by 97%. In an all-white Chicago, Murder would Decline 90%, rape by 81%, and robbery by 90%. .....
