I despise racebaiters. I don't like racists either.

I hate Asian clients for the most part absolutely agree. They are fricking assholes. Insanely cheap and tight with money and will try to contest everything billed. Even if the estimate is spot on. They are gigantic headaches.

So what you are saying is that if I've learned it's best to lock my car doors when I see a group of black guys decked out in red coming my way in my city, I shouldnt have to have the same concern if I found myself in the same situation in L.A. or NYC?? 


Yes, if you see some potential gang bangers walking by your car. You should lock your doors. (I always have my doors locked. But that's just me.) Gang bangers are dangerous people. The thing is it is their gangbanger tendencies that make them dangerous people, and not their blackness.

It's all in how people present themselves. If you see every black person you ever come across in life as a gangbanger, no matter how they present themselves. Well you just might be racist.

I'm not defending racism but if locking your doors because they're black males is racist and wrong, isn't locking your doors because they're males sexist and wrong for the same reason


Technically yes.
But to be fair, I don't consider locking your doors to be racist. Hell if i see anyone walking suspiciously close to my car Im locking my door. I don't trust people, i don't care who you are.

Call it whatever you want, but every race besides white people stick up for each other. I'm talking the majority of people in that race are die hard for each other. If white people don't do this they will go extinct. It's just a fact of life. You don't have to hate any other races but white people are the only race that accept others as they are. When have you ever heard of a non white country encouraging whites to immigrate there? It has literally never happened.

20-30 years ago non whites didn't shite on us the way they do now. I think race relations in the 1990s were way fricking better. I wasn't there though so I can't say for sure.

They were to a degree because you didn't have so many SJW's telling you that you need to apologize for being white and there wasn't any social media.

The problem with social media and texting is you remove accountability for when you pop off. It use to be face to face and you ran the chance of getting smacked in the mouth. On social media you can say suck my balls to anyone and there aren't any repercussions. So as a society we become way more trollish with shitty attitudes.

And according to the people who preach against racism the reasons are due to evil white people


To be fair, a lot of the discrepancies in this country were due to white people in the past. Up until 50 years ago. Black folks had no rights. We didn't have access to the resources to succeed like everyone else in the country. That is why and how the hood and these inner cities areas were created. Nowadays, there is no one to blame but our own. White people are no longer to blame for the atrocities that happen in the hood, it is time for personal accountability.

If you say white people do some things better you are racist but if you say blacks do things better you are celebrated. 

Can't really speak on that because that is not my argument.

As the first generation to go from K-12 all the way since integration, I have no problem with people of other skin colors.

I do have a problem with laziness, malice, greed, selfishness or bad character, of all races.

I don't believe racism is a problem in todays society like the media would have you believe.

After reading this I have to agree there is proven fact that there are intellectual differences between people of different races.

Stay calm. White people are still 70% majority in this country. You all are not going anywhere anytime soon at all. Also, this is mainly due to the differences between the minority-majority struggle. When you're minority, it makes you have a chip on your shoulder.

Think about being a short dude. They always walk like they have something to provr, and they like to stick together also. Hell, to take it in another direction, have you ever been to a baby shower. Its freaking women everywhere, not my thing at all. So, what do men who get dragged into going usually do, get together somehwere and have a couple beers. When you're a minority in a certain situation, you like to find others like you so that you can become and feel more comfortable.

Id argue this is all part of human nature. Maybe its not right, idk. But it is what we as humans do. Hell, I'd wager that for white people living in African or Asian countries. Basically anywhere where they are clear minorities in that situation, they probably like to stick together and stick up.for each others as well.

Good paragraph but clean up the part in bold. It is an inaccuracy that weakens your otherwise solid view.

There were black doctors, lawyers, teachers, professors, researchers, etc. Blacks had rights but opportunities were much more limited, especially in the Deep South. Many economic and societal standards have gone backwards since the Great Society was enacted. Handouts cripple.

Isn’t this just adorable. You continue on cutting grass Jones and hope those lazy people with different skin colors than yours don’t bother you.

This thread is hilarious

You all want to see that racism is still alive and well Goto the poli board and read the thread about Trayvon Martin’s mother speaking at Grambling University.

sincerely believe most racism comes from a lack of physical travel and exposure. It's incredibly easy to build a hatred for a race or stereotype if a person can't find a way to be exposed to and interact with examples they'll usually like. That exposure is critical and runs both ways, mindset speaking. Staying within a certain geographic area or even absorbing one point of view news or "story" wise isn't only limiting, it's rather remedial.





I am a firm believer in exposure over a course of time changes worldview on race. Some posters comment on how racist Northerers can be. I believe it.

The truth is,no matter the race, if you never leave your peer group (be it only upper class people or lower class) it will heavily effect your views. Mainly because you only ever see things from one perspective and think "everybody has a life like this".

Blacks had rights


Sound like you are saying "Our Niggra's are happy"

Black people were cheated out of the things that make stable families and create wealth until well into the 1970's. It seems like to me the people who complain about back people now are the same people who were dead set against integration and civil rights 50 years ago.
