    So you agree that blacks commit more crimes on a per capita basis then?

    I had it explained to me one way and I understood it perfectly at that point.

    Imagine a machine in a casino that you don't have to put money into to play.

    The only thing this machine has is a button and if you push it a bunch of times sometimes money comes out.

    If that happened would you stand there pushing that button see how much money you can get?

    Now imagine the button says white guilt.

    So you admit white males are privileged in this country.

    Hmm - my question-dodging sense is tingling. Well, once I become white - I'm already a male - I'll let you know.

    So, do you agree that blacks commit more crimes on a per capita basis then?

    Since when is work ethic, self education, family values, prioritization and morals considered taking advantage of everyone else?

    I was always under the impression that life long recipients of food stamps, welfare, unemployment, Medicaid, Sec 8 housing, WIC, SNAP, Supplemental Security Income and Earned Income Tax Credit were considered taking advantage.

    Rode my bike tonight, the knock in my bearings is getting worse. I know racism is to blame, no one can fool me with talk such as "Dude your wheel is ten years old and has a ton of miles" and other such talk of mechanics, I know better!

    The 1984 world described by Orwell was a world without racism. He described it as one in which people of every race were to be found at the highest levels of the party. So if the super racism obsessed want to truly end racism, as it is the only true evil, they can merely export the notions of thoughtcrime and the very best way to do that is to make the children of racists the racists’ biggest threat. The teaching of racism at home can simply be made a crime of child abuse. Legislators can draw up a list of questions that school children are required to answer about their parents’ view of people of other races and ethnicities. If the answers indict the parents, the parents can then be arrested and the children sent into foster care with families pre approved to be racism free.

    As we as societies become more obsessed with the “disgusting evil” of racism tell me how far away we are from this actually happening!

    I bet this sounds entirely logical to many members here.

    If hard work is a White characteristic, why did the White colonists need to bring African slaves over here to do their work? Why didn't they do it themselves?

    It is not institutions that are racist. It is individuals. The institutions don't support racist activities even though some of the people in them might be racist. Systemic racism died several decades ago.

    Exactly. And painting letters on a street isn't going to turn a racist into a non racist. I think if anyone has a tendency to have racist thoughts, BLM and the violent rioting are helping that person make a decision. People don't change their belief systems because of threats and intimidation. Convince me that being a liberal is better than being a conservative and I might see your point. But forcing me to be a liberal will only make me cement my position as a conservative.

    Well they are said to be Chinese. Most are Han Chinese. And unlike here the govt is racist in China against foreigners.. Institutional racism..

    Humans are like different breeds of dogs IMO. You can tell them apart ..

    Whites are Ice People. They cannot tolerate the heat like African Sun People. NB there were no slaves in New England.

    Duh.

    They didn't do it to make Trump turn from being a racist, I believe they did it to piss him off.

    No they is just an excuse for claiming their racism. Do you think those who were beaten on Bloody Sunday made those folks make a decision to beat the hell out of them.

    True because the racist are usually the ones making the threats and intimidating.

    I am not a Liberal or a Conservative, so I can't convince you to be either.

    It is if those doing it covertly don't get caught. The system is still ingrained into people's minds.
    That's why I say it takes at least 3 generations for the system to flush itself. Basically, the old thinking has to die off.

    China is a country. Chinese are the residents of said country. That isn't a race. That is a culture. And I guess China has many cultures within the Chinese borders.

    China is racist, to use your term, but no reason for USA to be. We are suppose to be world leaders in human rights. That would include all humans. All colors. All cultures.

    More like breeds of dogs or cats.. The traditional Chinese culture is found with the Chinese who fled from Mousy Tongue. Under mousy tongue traditional Chinese culture was destroyed. Much of it.and replaced by a CCP culture.

    And sure there are differences in China with some cultures. Like the Mongolians, or the Muslims being indoctrinated. You see some differences in food in various regions. I think the largest group are the Han Chinese.

    If you want to get an impression of China and her people check out the westerners Serpentza and Laowhy 86 on you tube. They lived and worked in China for 14 years and married Chinese girls. They traveled China on motor bikes meeting people and learning about China. They really liked the people there but not the CCP.

    Both say China was better when they first moved there but got worse over the years. Because of the CCP.

    I challenge you to find any ethnic group that the African American community ever sought to protect other than themselves while many ethnic groups helped them in their struggle for civil rights!

    Where did I say the everything is racist? Pretty lame response. Scraping the bottom of the barrel on this issue, eh? Good, that means we're done here.
