    I've seen every form of racism during my life, but I have to say I haven't seen much of any racism these last few years since I decided to avoid the multi cultures, the half breeds, the blacks, <MOD EDIT - Rule 7 - Removed Pejorative Term>, the racial turmoil and the rest since I've moved to my all lily WHITE gated community. Interesting how segregation prevents racism from ever occuring, yet we still find people pooh-poohing the very idea to end racism as we know it by favoring a mixture of the multi cultures and the inbreeding of those unassimilated peoples. :twisted:

    I'm talking about the political aspects of racism, there is and always will be racism, or at least a level of dislike, distrust, or other animosity between different groups. That's been true since the beginning of time.

    When conservatives are running the show is a bit too broad, as they have run the show at various times in our history, I'll address your more specific areas though.

    To look at it during slavery it requires that it be viewed outside our contemporary ideas of race, which has changed substantially. At the time slaves were not considered fully people, only counting as 2/3 of a person for determining population in regards to Congressional representation. This was agreed by all parties, minus the slaves of course. That would represent a valid form of institutional racism. Also of note, slaves were considered property, while freed blacks were considered people, the only people who seem to have really grasped that disparity were the abolitionists. That reality was not reconciled until slavery ended. Basically our whole country was (*)(*)(*)(*)ed up and lazy by allowing the issue to remain as it was for generations, but that is neither here nor there, as times have changed.

    I'm sure you already know the reasons during Jim Crow, which party supported it and which opposed it? It was political, so it was all about power. All you have to do is look at who stood to lose and who stood to gain and your answers are right there.

    It seems today that class warfare has entered into it. Couple that with the various programs designed to keep the poor dependent on the government and it doesn't seem like that much has really changed.

    Some really sick posters on this forum....




    I disagree with this assessment. Racism is very much on the down low in America. People are open only when around like minded individuals. Notice how many posters on this forum have no problem saying words like **** or this and that, in real life I highly doubt they would speak in that manner out in public in a city or certain areas. I do feel these sentiments should be out in the open, but I do not think they are aside from the internet and within like minded groups.

    There are different levels of hell. Things will continue to get worse because America no longer produces the excess wealth needed to fund social spending like Section 8 housing vouchers and food stamps.

    Moreover, attitudes are changing. I think fewer and fewer people care about peace among the races. That's what happens when people play "the knock-out game."

    Blacks have lived as a lower class for well over 100 years and now whites (*)(*)(*)(*)(*) when and want to react when they haven't even dealt with reverse discrimination for less then 40 years? :/


    I don't agree with your opinion. I think generally most people are me me me me, my group is better my group deserves this. Etc. Because most people (not all) have some various degrees of ethnocentrism (which is not the same as racism). It's not a reaction to anything, I think people would behave this way regardless if there are different groups or classes, especially during times of economic struggles.

    You might be right. But I don't think so. I think lots of people have simply stopped caring about racial peace and racial justice. America seems like it is becoming more Balkanized.

    Why is america still racist?

    Because blacks aren't acting like civilized human beings. It's as simple as that really. Racism is completely natural when you recognize that only one race is contributing nothing but negativity and problems to society.

    Black crime is a freaking epidemic. What do you want us to do? Love you for it. Blacks bring racism upon themselves.

    So, blacks aren't moving up in the corporate world or education and are only qualified for the "low paying" jobs, white people are to blame? The question is, why with all the tow lines out of the ghetto, is there still so many blacks that fall back on welfare, foodstamps, drugs, and crime? Doesn't seem like it is a white persons fault for the choices blacks make, it is blacks fault for the continuation of being slaves to the government and slaves to racial stereo types.

    I am actually surprised I haven't heard anyone call S&P racist for downgrading our credit score during the first black presidents term. Talk about perpetuation of the stereo type.

    This has got to be one of the most racist, asinine, idiotic post ever posted on this forum.

    Why is America still racist is an interesting question.

    I wonder the same thing too. Why are mobs of young blacks attacking innocent whites in Milwaukee?

    Why are mobs of young blacks going into white owned stores and robbing the stores of everything that isn't nailed down?

    Hopefully this racism, epitomized b attacks by young blacks against innocent whites will stop soon.

    Are you honestly suggesting that it is whites who are the primary reason our borders are so porous and so many illegal, hispanics are entering the country?

    You seem to forget, it is a black president, Barack Obama and a black Attorney General, Eric Holder, who are the main obstacles to strengthinging our border security.

    The vast proportion of interracial crime is committed by black men.

    Criminologist Anthony Walsh's "Race & Crime: A Bio-social Analysis" discusses some biological and cultural factors behind criminal behaviour.

    That post is one of the truest things ever spoken on this forum. There's nothing in that post you quoted that's false. You just don't like it because more and more people are beginning to recognize that your kind brings nothing to the table and takes so much off of it.

    Believe it or not, your biased black opinion isn't really that important to intelligent people. :)

    Of course. But he's black and it goes against his agenda. :)

    So the only problem you see with these Black youth is they were attacking whites, but it wasn't a problem as long as they were attacking other black folks.

    With that said, a group of black youth go on a rampage now every young black man in America is now on a rampage attacking whites.

    The whole post was a bunch of racist, asinine, false bull(*)(*)(*)(*). I believe that pretty much covered the whole quote. Only a few of your like minded brethren would agree with that stupidity and by the post that followed they pretty much identified themself.

    LOL do you think your racist biased opinion is important to anyone other than other racist. Please don't try and count yourself in the intelligent group, because your post pretty much knocked you out the box on that.

    Interesting that your idol in your avatar truly represented the criminal intent of most blacks, for he treated his wife and others like shiite and died for reasons related to his nastiness as a black man growing up with a criminal inheritance. You must be so proud of your people. :twisted:

    You're wrong cause I say so and that's the end of that... because I said so... and stuff... yeah.

    That pretty much sums up your argument.

    Why don't you save your illiterate posts for someone that cares? I am racially aware, so I don't care what the opinions of a black person are. You're all racially biased and racist towards Whites anyway.

    Well he's black, what do you expect? They're pro-crime. A thug that treats his wife like shiite is probably a hero to him.

    Blacks are opposed to peace, normality and civility. They prove this everywhere they go.

    Stop the B.S. Superbadbrutha. No one has said that every young, black man in America is now on a rampage attacking whites. What has been said is that in this instance there was a hate crime in which a mob of young, black men attacked random, innocent whites.

    There has been a spate of such crimes recently in which grouops of young, black men have targeteed either whites or white owned establishments.

    WEST ALLIS, Wis. (WLS/AP) - The investigation into 11 of the violent incidents on the opening night of the Wisconsin State Fair has resulted in the arrest of a 16-year-old African-American who reportedly told investigators he targeted whites.
    Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker was asked on WLS Radio&#8217;s Roe and Roeper Show Friday if he thought the crimes warranted hate crime status, &#8220;I think it is absolutely outrageous, it is a hate crime, and I would imagine the prosecutor will be very aggressive on this. There is no tolerance whether it&#8217;s white on black or black on white, there shouldn&#8217;t be any tolerance in general for that kind of problems.&#8221;West Allis police said Thursday the teen was arrested late Wednesday. The Milwaukee teen was booked on suspicion of attempted robbery and robbery. Police recommend that he face additional penalties for hate crimes.
    Police say the teen told investigators whites were chosen because he considered them "easy targets."
    On opening night of the fair last week, 31 people were arrested and at least 11 people were hurt. The West Allis Police Department has said race was a factor in the 11 violent incidents it's investigating.The State Fair has stepped up security since the attacks.
    http://www.wlsam.com/Article.asp?id=2260004&spid=

    A police timeline details the flood of 911 calls and other reports about a marauding pack of youngsters that attacked individuals attending the opening night of the Wisconsin State Fair.
    As described by cops, the &#8220;offenders&#8230;were described as African American. The victims were either White or Hispanic.&#8221; A 16-year-old boy arrested for suspicion of attempted robbery and robbery reportedly told officers that whites were singled out because they were deemed &#8220;easy targets.&#8221;
    The timeline prepared by the West Allis Police Department lists dozens of &#8220;calls for service&#8221; received last Thursday. CFS entries included, &#8220;Groups of people chasing white people,&#8221; &#8220;Mob pulled male and female from motorcycle,&#8221; and &#8220;Male assaulted by group. Bleeding, but medical refused.&#8221;
    Police are continuing to investigate nine assaults, one robbery, and an attempted robbery for which they believe race was a factor.http://www.thesmokinggun.com/buster/wisconsin-state-fair-riots-987654

    How absurd. Firstly, the deportation of illegal immigrants is at an all time high and has been increasing during Obama's administration, and secondly, you seem to be forgetting (or deliberately ignoring) the role of Congress. Hard to blame them though, they aren't black.
