    Since almost every thread on this forum over race is usually negative, here is some good news. You know, actual facts and statistics. I find this kind of odd actually considering unemployment is at 9.8%, and every time in American history unemployment has been high there has been racial tension because of the competition for jobs.

    Almost all the race threads are started by a few black posters like you.

    Why is that?

    Seems like race is really important to you.

    Yeah, like that one where someone actually said slavery could be the answer to black unemployment.

    Oh, and that other one where it was stated that blacks and other minorities are actually missing 50% of their frontal lobes!

    OMGZ those racist black people.

    BTW it most really be important to Yahoo and Fox News and CNN and MSNBC and AOL since they all reported the story as well. Yep, any and everybody that talks about race (even in a positive manner) is indeed a racist. Well that settles the discussion on race guys. After all of this time....where were you 60 years ago Dware? Boy, the world could have really used you...

    I dont think you a racist at all.

    I do think you are overly sensitive to race though, it seems to be something you think about alot.

    Im white, my wife is Hawaiian/Chinese.

    You know how much we talk about race to eachother?.....never.

    It just doesnt matter to either of us.

    You're actually right. I do think about it a lot. Just like I think about Cosmology, and religion, and politics a lot. I think about everything, not just race, and race is hardly my top 'agenda' if you will//

    However, I don't think I think about it as much as you think. I think you only notice me more whenever I do talk about race for whatever reason..

    I would think a drop in something negative in America would be a good thing.

    See you don't have to think about it, because you don't have to worry about racism or discrimination in this country because you are on the giving end and not the receiving end.

    To even have to ask someone black given the History of this country why race is important to them is asinine.

    can't understand why some of the black folks in this thread don't support segregation seeing as how they dislike white people so much.

    Oh, if they are anything like me, it is not whites they dislike, it is anyone with attitudes like yours.

    I don't see it as a positive indicator for one reason only.

    It probably indicates in an indirect way that more and more white people in general are being forced into living in poor inner city neighborhoods because of the recession. It's a sign of a bad economy.

    I don't see people intentionally moving into a crime ridden inner city neighborhood just for the sole reason of giving their kids a lesson in diversity.

    So you are saying that millions of families losing their asses and being forced to move to the inner city to live is a good thing?

    So you are telling us that millions of white families are leaving the suburbs and moving into the inner cities, do you have anything to back that bull(*)(*)(*)(*) up with.

    Race is merely a social construct and I'm happy to hear that it is being seen by many as such. Though I feel that structural violence (or neglect) will always exist, I feel that socio-economic status is beginning to become increasingly more pertinent than race.

    No, I didn't see it the first time. Good, I'm glad to hear blacks getting out of the ghettos in large enough numbers to be statistically relevant.

    In the middle of a recession at that....

    Maybe its time everybody became one race. We all go to Florida for a few generations and get tanned. Problem solved.

    nosir! In the most non-racist... oh hell, I don't care. Have you ever seen a fair skinned freckled redhead with double D's and a tiny waist?! That's one reason. Forget everyone turning the same color. Just don't care about it. :)
