So when you see Bernie Madoff stealing money, you identify with him?
Or when you hear about white male serial killers, you feel some kind of responsibility for them?
What about the white priests who frick little kids? You think that it's a reflection of white people?

You might be right. It's difficult to find a suitable forum to express dissatisfaction.

Poor representatives of the whole. You can always find somebody to say what you want. The media has an agenda in pushing this.

Of course not but if someone in my family was doing something to give my family a bad name I sure would talk to them about it.
Race is not the same as family, despite what some will tell you.

The minority often yells the loudest. Whenever white people do something stupid, nobody with sense think they speak for an entire race.
People pay attention to what supports their viewpoint.

But what about those that want to work but are oppressed? Everyone isn't able to understand nuclear physics or quantum mechanics. Those of us that are able to contribute should help those people uplift themselves.

That's where we differ. Reality is blacks will have to change black culture just as every other race has changed from the inside. Blacks are the only culture dwelling in the stone age as an entire entity. If you and I don't change the mindset no one else is going to.

Are you shiting me?
So you are saying my clients, who have a Stanford mba project manager who is black, is living in th stone age?
What about my family members who have mixed race children and send their kids to a grade school that costs 40k a year?
Stone Age?
You are some kind of stupid to group people together to make a dumb statement.

he was talking about black culture, which i doubt your client engages in. if i had to guess, i'd presume he follows a culture that would be linked with "white privilege", if it were displayed by a successful white male.
now i don't like using the words "black culture" and i go with "trash culture" so it applies across the board, but the culture he's discussing is trash culture. urban-ghetto culture is terrible. this video displays that culture. that culture is despicable and part of "trash culture"
a problem of communication is that people use the term "black" to describe it
this is why i've argued for nearly a decade on here that there needs to be a consistent term for trash black culture. we have it with whites (white trash), but don't have an accurate one for black people. it would stop a lot of communicative issues like what we just saw.

There is a lot of trash culture in this thread.
It's like are posting what black culture is like but it's not even close to reality. It's just more trash thinking they know something and they don't.

You are speaking of a couple of members that belong to the talented tenth. What about the other 33 million? How many embrace thug culture? How many still blame slavery? As educated black men we should instill virtues into the youth that would eradicate thug and entitlement culture.

i have no idea what you're even saying here
pretty much nobody has an issue with carlton banks
lots of people have issues with those displaying urban-ghetto culture
and your ilk ignores all of the discussions by the same people about white trash on here, which are treated with just as much contempt
this forum is dominated by educated persons of good culture who have lived not far from white and black trash. it's not a shock to observe the contempt

I feel sorry for the good black people in this country.
For instance when I'm out at a restaurant with my family and I see a black man with his wife and children doing enjoying the same things that me and my family are doing I want to go over and slap them on the back and shake his hand and say thanks, good job.
It brings a smile to my face, truly does.

So why don't you?
Because you know that is a arseholes way of thinking.
I wonder if the black family looks at you and thinks, wow, they are letting in fools here. This place is declining.
Just out of curiosity, what if that black father came up to you and said, I make 200k more than you. I'm so glad you are doing a good job, truly I do. Your family looks like white trash but you saved up all month to eat out.
What a seriously fricked up thing to post.

Not really do you know how many black kids are fatherless?

No that's obvious.

this is just not true
if he were running for president he'd have people questioning his patriotism, saying he's not like you and me, making jokes that he can't hold his job because he's black or calling his wife a sasquatch. just going to a store for service is a different experience since you often get slower and ruder service. a trivial encounter with police is riskier for him since it can easily be escalated negatively (for example tony dungy getting pulled over and then arrested for a trivial traffic issue because of his race)
The gap in white perception of black/minority daily experience and the reality of black/minority daily experience is enormous. Some of it is just putting up with unfair jokes or lesser service but some of it can be much worse - having major financial, criminal, or personal effects.
If you don't see examples of this you don't pay attention to how the educated and law abiding black people are treated in our "culture", that or perhaps you are a white person living in a pretty much whites only environment.

ok you got me. Some people just not fond of the truth.
You should work on that.
