No, I agree with you. I don't think what is alleged here was really racist. I'm not even seeing racial profiling as even being a bad thing, frankly, so long as there is due process involved.

Agreed.

We're just taught to loathe who we are to the point that we have white people favoring other races in terms of affirmative action, etc., and being less apt to show even regular consideration for their own.

True, self-loathing and masochistic anti-racism on the part of whites, especially liberal whites, is certainly disturbing. I don't think this a black version of such a phenomenon. Western whites and Jews are the only people who embrace self-hate sentiments. MAYBE the South Koreans too. I think the self-loathing and masochistic anti-racism are the main motivation behind the support that Hezbollah is getting and the hatred and vitriol the Israelis are getting. The Jews are "white enough" for the purposes of taking sides in the left's eyes.

I honestly think that same-race racism is a bigger problem now than traditional racism.

It is. This has had a more destructive effect on Western societies than racism ever had. It's just that traditional racism is more easily identifiable, more "in your face", and has a more advanced and organized grievance support network.

BTW, I'm looking for a rapist, the discription I have is: of the human race. If anyone has seen him, please let me know.

Race?  You said Race?  Are you a closet racist?

Yeah and then "some" of us have to "struggle" to achieve greatness.

Yea, I guess I am in the latter as well.

It is on the left, but hopefully people will realize that rending their clothes and hating themselves does not do any good, or make them feel better.

First of all, race is a SOCIAL construct, but it is reified by people for political, economic, etc. reasons. Yes, there is such a thing as internal racism.


I am a black woman and I believe that the grandmother should be stopped as well. My Professor said something very clever and that is that when you’re looking for bad people in the airports or wherever, you have to also look at the grandmother in the wheelchair. Elderly people can be messed up mentally as well.

Blacks are NOT the only ones who commit small crimes and everyone does and it’s UNFAIR to judge us that way. Read a book called American Apartheid: Segregation and the Making of the Underclass.

First, thanks!  Second, that is what I said on another site.  We should not stop the random searches, but we should add Arabs as a mandatory search!  You are right!  They may recruit someone non arabic.  But we already know that many arabic natives are employed by Al Qaeda!

And as far as blacks?  There is nothing here about that. But I like the mayor in Mississippi who is black and trying to stop black on black crime.  His goal is to erradicate CRIME.  He does not care the color of the perps skin.

And neither do I.

LOVE EVERYONE GUYS.

Well, even if you're not prejudice, the people that you're writing to on J.U. take that crap seriously and they thrive on it. Don't you see that?Well, even if you're not prejudice, the people that you're writing to on J.U. take that crap seriously and they thrive on it. Don't you see that?

A grandmother born here and never having met any M.E. person might be angry enough at the present system. We cannot judge anyone. We shouldn’t be there. Some of those soldiers are killing and raping. Why do people think that it is alright? War is wrong and it’s for oil and they’re trying to eliminate anyone who is different. Don’t you see that? One day, there might be only one country. Be careful what you believe in and everything is a conspiracy. What’s real?

No I dont.  I live in Richmond Va.  We have a black mayor (and the only black governor to date in the 50 states).

He hired a black Police Chief.  From where?  Macon Georgia.  Ever hear of that place?  Check out Macon county line.  It is a movie.  But accurate.

And this Black Mayor (who I have met and respect greatly) and this black Police chief (I have not had the honor) is taking care of the city and trying to get it out of the top 10 of crime patrol.  And I am trusting them.  WHy?

Because they are not afraid to go after blacks who commit crimes, and they cannot be called racists as the blacks they pursue are not law abiding citizens, but criminals.  And they know it.

Perhaps you should read up on Lawrence Douglas Wilder.  He has a school named after him already, and he will be on par with Martin Luther King when it comes to blacks and what they have done to help all men, not just their race.

And that is why I see a lot of good coming out of this city in the next few years.  Not social programs, not Hand me downs.  But a man of the people that got 80% of the vote in a city that is about 50/50.  And was elected governor in a state that is about 22/78.

Because he is a great man, and he gets things done.  Not by crying, but by doing.

Don’t you see that?

No, I see a man who killed a million of his own. And in that he was pathetic as Pol Pot, Hitler, Stalin and Mao did better (and Milosovic tried).  But do we wait until he gets there?

The only way that evil thrives is for good men to do nothing.

One of the weirdest things in the universe is a black republican or a gay republican, not that the mayor is. Social programs could have worked, but they were purposefully screwed; people could have been trained and not just fed and given a check. Some countries have a bad habit of trying to throw money to solve a problem. I don't like when people talk of so called ‘hand me downs’ as though centuries of slavery didn't build this country. Secondly, there are plenty of poor whites in this country that people pretend are not like blacks. I ignore those whites because they live in states that I wouldn't dare set foot in. There are plenty of whites on welfare. There were white beneficiaries of affirmative action. So please! I don't know anything about the mayor, but I can write plenty just by the responses that you received, because they were stereotypical responses, but when my boyfriend comes home, him and I will Google that man. He'll tell me because he follows up on the news, but I've stopped watching the crap because it's pure brainwash.

I'm trying to be happy and the tears will stop. When I go in better neighborhoods, I wear my cap, sunglasses and pretend not to see anyone. No one wants me there, I don't want to be there, and neither do I want to hate. I keep my eyes to myself... that's all.

not that the mayor is.

He has been and always will be a democrat.  He even ran as one for the president when he was governor.

You are young,  But you need to understand that not all blacks are uncle toms (the ones that do suceed. ... like Thomas Sowell and Walter E Williiams).  They are intelligent people that do not automatically vote for the new slave masters, The democrats.

Let me ask you a question.  What has the democrat party done for blacks?  They had power for 40 years (1954-94).  Did they do anything other than jawbone?

You dont have to go with blinders everywhere. But I will admit that someplaces still require it.  WHy not look to the sucesses.  And get rid of the blinders?

YOu can find failure everywhere.  In the riots of SOuth Boston (Mass) and in Detriot and Watts. None of them are in the south (and yes you can find them there).  But you can find successes as well. How about Maryland and Michael Steele?  HOw about Penn and Lynn Swann. HOw about Ohio and Ken blackwell?

Seek what you want, and you will surely find it.  Look for the truth and you will find it as well.

First of all, race is a SOCIAL construct, but it is reified by people for political, economic, etc. reasons. Yes, there is such a thing as internal racism.

When you can change your genetic structure by changing society's attitudes, then maybe your assertion that it's a "social construct" will bear more credence.

This has had a more destructive effect on Western societies than racism ever had

not having mussolini around resulted in a very negative impact on railroad on-time rates.

monarchs musta felt the same way about democracy.

it's only true btw for members of western societies who were white, sufficiently arrogant to consider themselves superior to everyone whose skin was darker than their own, completely devoid of empathy and deliberately disconnected from humanity and reality.
