    That Prius commercial makes sense if you think about it.

    It makes the criminals look good/nice (liberals usually side with criminals over police)

    It's a Prius... Liberal vagina on wheels.

    Toyota is just targeting the Prius buyers.

    Commercials usually feature black females as the smart heroine and white males as big dolts.

    I'm not offended. I think it's pathetic.

    Yes. The "racism" acknowledged by blacks is as you have posted about here. Its the white folks who are racist against the black folks.

    Meanwhile, of the 500K plus violent crimes in this country annually that are one race on another, 85% of the time it the black as the perp and the white as the victim.

    Those damn 15% white folks are the RACISTS !!!

    Don't be wandering too far off that Democrat plantation. They will send the plantation (*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*) to round you up and pull you back.

    no one is claiming it doesn't exist always has and always will but it is in no way in epidemic measure as you and others want to make it out to be
    you know some times when someone treats you like crap it isn't always because of racism it just because he is an ass
    you know when you get pulled over for speed it isn't because you are black but because you was speeding
    you know when you get jacked up by a cop it isn't always because of racism but because you was being a smart ass

    Well, here's something similar, among the PC/racist scene.

    If any of you watch TV shows, particularly drama-cop shows, then I'm not the only one who has witnessed it on television. In this case I'm speaking about the popular cop show called "Chicago P.D." on NBC on Wednesday nights.

    My wife and I have been watching it for the past two years, but after the 1st season, I began wondering to myself why the criminals in every episode were all white - and this is in the city of Chicago no less!

    Now the show is exciting, with good actors and great scenes, but it just made me wonder. And then, after the 2nd season, the exact same thing happened - none of the criminals were black. Hollywood made sure that every episode had the criminals portrayed by whites only - in Chicago.

    I guess in their PC thinking, all crime in a heavily populated black city, is performed only by the white man.



    BTW, this Wednesday on NBC the Chicago PD will find that a black youth is killed, gang related. BLM of course is mentioned. Who do you think is going to be found responsible? http://www.nbc.com/chicago-pd

    No. Unlike other races we just don't give a (*)(*)(*)(*) anymore. Non-white's play the race card every chance they get.
    Because let's face it, according to the left only white people are racist. Meanwhile if you look at huffington posts's website, it reeks of segregation and racism.

    Most American blacks don't realize they are the most coddled group of people in world history.....nor will they admit that they are the most racist people on the planet......

    True.

    Many of us are oblivious to all manner of oddities we carry around in our sacks of pointless drivel. We haul them up the mountain, we haul them down the mountain. We sleep with them, we work with them. We are them because we're identified by them.

    To be free of these tiresome weights we carry around isn't so easy and for sure no-one successfully insulted another out of their sack of crap.

    But it is fun. :-D

    Actually plenty of people claim racism doesn't exist-there's one on this forum just a page or so back who alleges it is a "myth". Psychologists call this phenomenon 'projection'.

    Assuming you’re assessment is correct, couldn’t that kind of “affirmative action” actually be evidence of the subconscious racism the OP article refers to? Couldn’t it come from the attitude that black people are incapable of succeeding without getting extra support and advantage from the white majority?

    Sadly, the conversation about race has ended up with black Americans blaming whites for their own circumstance, inciting that all whites should be ashamed of being white, should be ashamed of working hard, should be ashamed of not giving more and doing more to help black Americans.

    Reading what I just wrote, you would think we were living in the 1800's, but the reality is, this faux guilt trip being imposed by the real racists are insinuating I should be feeling guilty for enjoying ethnic foods, or a style of music, or clothing.

    We have entered an era that the vast majority of white Americans have not felt racist feelings they are being accused of, have not held the vast majority of black Americans in the light of the color of their skin...that is until now. The race hustlers and baiters have opened my eyes and millions of others to now viewing our relationship of 'them against us'. Black lies matters was the catalyst, and it is escalated by Obama, Holder, and other prominate black Americans giving legitimacy to blacks calling for the death of police and white Americans

    They've got to keep the racial hatred alive as long as possible. A lot of people make a living off the racial divide. What are Al and Jessie going to do if they couldn't raise money off the backs of the "mistreated". Remember "scholarship don't strip" hahaha (*)(*)(*)(*)ing idiot.

    But hey that single mom who had four kids before the age of 20 did it because white people made her do it. That gang banger that just shot a guy he was friends with in grade school because they run in a different gang now did it because of white people. Those kids that drop out of school do so because yep you guessed it white people. I sure am glad I was taught my life is my own and I'm responsible for where it ends up not the boogie man or white man.

    "White Priviledge"

    The fabricated answer for when people start looking around and wondering why decades of left wing help hasnt elevated the Black Community. "Our policies were good, but they never had a chance, theres this unquantifiable priviledge that was working against us"..... :rolleyes:

    The author of this opinion article, Jim Grimsley had published, is nothing more than an anecdotal look at the state of racism in this country. He didn't present a case per se, but did highlight a very important thought, racism is not just for conservatives. It hasn't diminished, it has only morphed into a malaise so hideously invisible, most whites can even see it. It's an arguable fact that most conservatives are prejudice, biased, discriminatory and even hatefully racist towards blacks. However, members of the far PC left, from their lofty insulated pure white perches, preach a cacophony of self-righteous BS, just as bad as the religious right. They know what's best for blacks.

    Black crime is is massively disproportional everywhere in the US. Per capita, it is at 80%. The right seems to delight in this and the far left works diligently in trying to explain this away using the old "poverty" and other environmental factors as an excuse. The rights cure for this is draconian and hateful. The far left think that money will solve this. Both are very wrong.

    I don't see why this particular article is a current event, other than to say it is the sad current state of affairs in America. Yes, racism is alive here and doing well.

    It may be hard to find a white liberal in a place like Birmingham, Ala., especially among those attending a church service, who tend to be older and more conservative than the general population. Alabama is also ranked as the most racist state in the US.

    The LA Times is more bigoted against white people than ever.

    Liberal white bigotry against white people is some bizarre new concept they push harder and harder. Hey, if it helps them feel better, I despise bigoted white liberals too.
