Some black folks act as if slavery was yesterday, lynchings are still common and the 1964 CRA was not passed (with largely Republican support, BTW).


And some people act as if real racially based socioeconomic , law, and education disparities don't exist or that they aren't rooted in decades old problems and poor policies

I speaking about a group of people that globally, have been discriminated against for their culture and the color of their skin. That's all I said


And you strongly implied that it was okay for OJ to have been acquitted because of the color of his skin. Do you also suggest that Darren Wilson should have been indicted and convicted because of the color of his skin?

I could argue that the same goes for those who stereotype black people.

I could but I won't.

You're wrong. It's a reality that gives way to a narrative. People only have those views because of their shared experiences of reality. You're suggesting again, that black folks make up the tribulations they have faced, and then exaggerate them to meet some end goal



There is no way you don't acknowledge that some black people do in fact engage in such exaggeration.

White people sure as frick exaggerate their problems.

I agree with you on that - destroying black families (with the "War on Poverty"), paying black folks to vote Democrat for 40+ years (rather than working), and the "War on Drugs" have been catastrophic for the community - zero question about that.

the question is one of the source

i've worked on 2 democratic campaigns in south Louisiana

there are many black people who LEGITIMATELY believe slavery is right around the corner

let me just be clear: white people 100% did not instill this belief in those people

Didn't Biden threaten that (white) Republicans were going to put them (presumably black folks) back in chains?

So, I would take umbrage with your 100%, Jake.

That was young, idealistic, commie, hippie Jake.

This is the somewhat older, jaded, cynical, money-hoarding, conservative/libertarian Jake.

Race is an issue in this country, but as long as the media feeds it to us every single day, it's going to get worse. Start treating it as a crime and not a White vs Black thing. A POS shot and killed innocent by standers. Forget color. Prosecute him because he is a murderer.


Well said but we don't want that. We like categories, statistics, profiles, etc. It makes thinking easier if you can apply a broad brush to every situation.
