    These people are sick in their fanatical attempt to create more victims. This ideology needs to be destroyed.

    I joked withy my son today. I told him I had just given birth to my favorite cat(We have 3) and was breast feeding her. Men can do that now you know!

    Not true! There are many Caribbean resorts they would be more than willing to visit.

    Huh?

    I didn't make that argument, but since you asked, do you think Apu has a British accent?

    This sort of stuff is why I told you to avoid this topic in #391, you don't make yourself look either well informed or capable of discussing it. In fact, you seem about a post away from recommending that African Americans adopt a British accent to avoid racism.

    Would it hurt?:p

    I'll agree that people from India have a unique sound but it is close to British and most people agree.

    And it beats ebonics all hollow at employment interviews

    The credibility of all biased sources is always enhanced whenever they report against their bias. For instance, whenever the NYT blames "liberals" for anything.

    The political power of the DP has always flowed from a great mass of effectively disenfranchised undereducated workers and dependants. Black Americans have always been a special target for DP diseducation systems, and in the past forced integration was the only way to eliminate support for our failed school systems.
    Middle class whites would have demanded effective reform.

    “There were, nevertheless, numberless ways in which Negro schools could be and were decreased in efficiency; in the first place, the public school funds were distributed with open and unashamed discrimination. Anywhere from twice to ten times as much was spent on the white child as on the Negro child, and even then the poor white child did not receive an adequate education. In the Black Belt, particularly, large amounts of funds were drawn by the county officers because of black population and distributed among the whites to the extent of sending some to college. The Negro schools were given few buildings and little equipment. No effort was made to compel Negro children to go to school. On the contrary, in the country they were deliberately kept out of school by the requirements of contract labor which embraced the labor of wife and children as well as of the laborer himself. The course of study was limited. The school term was made and kept short and in many cases there was the deliberate effort, as expressed by one leading Southerner, Hoke Smith, when two Negro teachers applied for a school, to "take the less competent." The supervising officers paid little or no attention to Negro schools, and the education of the Negro for many years after the overthrow of Reconstruction proceeded in spite of their school system, not because of it. An attempt was made through advocacy of so-called industrial education to divert the Negro schools from training in knowledge to training in crafts and industry. But here the white laborers, North and South, objected and practically no effective industrial training was ever given in the Southern public schools, except training for cooking and menial service”

    You're not disputing my previous post that it's the American culture of racist oppression.
    While your last post is just blaming the victim. Would you also blame a woman what she did to get raped, or what a Jew did to be gassed? Because that's your kind of argument.

    That's not genetic, obviously.

    So now we come back to the truth that none of it is about race.

    It's not even about 'asking' people to behave. It's about being honest enough to acknowledge that some people just aren't worth wasting emotion and resources on.

    I'm asking you to explain WHY one group of dark skinned people are 'oppressed', and yet others aren't. Obviously it has nothing to do with race/colour.

    Why wouldn't it, when they're the majority. Besides, it's likely the only voice you choose to hear.

    I'm part of a non-white migrant family, and they're all opposed to profligate immigration of peoples who can't speak the language, or come from non-compatible cultures, or who cannot support themselves. They're quite 'extreme' about immigration, as are a lot of migrants who spent many years ensuring they were up to our standards ... but I'll wager you don't hear those voices.

    Only in America. To everyone else it sounds INDIAN.

    Americans think anyone speaking English better than they do, is English.

    I already gave an answer. It's the historic culture of white people to oppress them. I don't see you are contesting this. And I added the notion that you are blaming the victim. It's just like you are suggesting women did something to cause them to be raped or a Jew did something to get gassed. You are also not responding to this.

    None of this is about race, it's about behaviour. If you refuse to behave as the majority and insist on being 'different', you'll be marginalized in any society in the world.

    What a sick perspective. All races and cultures did horrible things to each other and others. Why is this a white only thing? Because you believe white people are supreme and hold them to a higher standard? Racist!

    There is slavery going on in the world right now! You do not care.

    Interesting take on the oppression of Jews. Given that Jews are insanely successful and free here but let's condemn all white people(Jews are white) when it was white people who destroyed Nazi Germany. How dumb.

    The EU was first and foremost established around the organizing principle of economics. That the free movement of goods, capital, and yes people, would strengthen the member countries. That you ascribe the motivation to liberalism makes me suspect the reasons for your animosity towards it.

    Filipinos do not sound British at all but they have average household incomes 50% higher than whites.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ethnic_groups_in_the_United_States_by_household_income

    Totally racist by the way to not credit a group's success to their own gifts and talents and hard work but rather to an accent.

    Just another of many reasons why this ideology needs to be destroyed.

    So where is the next line of bullcrap going to be?

    Crank destroyed the idiotic and racist English accent argument. I destroyed the black ethnic name argument. What next?

    People from all over the world come here and are enormously successful regardless of pigmentation, culture or religion. As a nurse I worked with a couple of dozen African nurses and nurses aides. They all had a plan or were working on a plan to improve their station. Aides were going to school to become nurses and nurses were getting more advanced degrees. They did this while working full time and having families.

    I can say this those people from Ghana, Nigeria, Kenya and Ethiopia were the best those countries had. Smartest, most hard working and most ambitious. To blow off their success to an accent is totally 100% racist!

    Racists have also tried to blow off Asian success with idiot lies and false arguments. The last thing the racists will do is credit these people with their own success and admit that America is a place where that can happen.

    I talked to one over the phone once and I thought he was my friend from Cornwall.

    Warned of what? Is it rules violation to say Blacks speaking ebonics should cultivate a British accent? I've been told that is the latest trend among job seekers of any race.

    A British accent has never been much use to minorities in Britain.

    “As Peter Taylor, who still works opposite Lattimore Road station, put it: ‘It started as a purely local thing – all the whites got down onto the street and everybody got stuck in.’ But on the Monday the character of the riots changed. As news of the fighting spread through the media and by word of mouth, people were drawn into Notting Hill. They came from other parts of west London, from south London and even as far away as Reading. The geographical areas in which the fighting was located also began to expand. White men from the ‘villages’ of Notting Dale, the Town, Paddington, Shepherds Bush and Hammersmith began overcoming their traditional hostility and mutual suspicion and started acting collectively. According to John Garrett who was involved in the riots, the feeling of a common enemy drew them together. Messages would be passed from the Dale to the Town and from there to the Bush. ‘Before we’d always been rivals. But during the riots we all got together.’ …

    The number 28 and 31 buses were full of ‘English people coming to see the ****** run.’ The metropolitan line trains were packed with sightseers pouring into Notting Hill via Lattimore Road and Landbroke Grove stations, as though they were going to a fun-fair many carrying weapons with very little interference from the police.” "Edward Pilkington, “Beyond the Mother Country,” “West Indians and the Notting Hill White Riots,” I. B. Tauris & Co. Ltd., 1988, p 119.

    Sick perspective?
    I got asked why black people are discriminated on the US job market, even at entry level.
    I gave an answer to that question. And I do not see you dispute that the discriminating black people is imbedded in the white American culture. All you got going is whatabout(ism) other people somewhere else. It has nothing to do with the question asked.

    You are flat out lying about what I believe.

    You are flat out lying about what I believe.

    Odds are that you are flat out lying about what my "take" is.

    Heh, This was the warning:


    And sure enough, your diversity argument has deteriorated into stating that Indians sound British and African Americans should adopt British accents. I tried to stop you from embarrassing yourself yet here you are, defending the British accent as the cure to racism.

    I respect that you are committed to thinking for yourself, but may I suggest that, your first step to effectively expressing your opinion, must be that you improve the accuracy of your vocabulary (or limit your writing, to only whatever words you do, correctly, understand). Because my correction of your bogus definition of "diversity," can be no more "partisan," than can Webster's Dictionary.

    Check it out.


    For the moment, though, you have expressed no coherent thought, to which I might reply.
