re: What do blacks want America to change?

Then quite committing crimes and dealing drugs.

Every black person sells drugs.

Only 19% of Dayton public school graduate High School, they give a shite about school, they don't even go.

While this is a problem stemming largely from irresponsible parents, it isn't indicative of every Black persons experience.

LOl, really affirmative action ring a bell. There is no job, school, or hobby that prevents black people from doing what they want.

Affirmative Action is primarily given to white women. Blacks are not the primary beneficiaries of AA policies. That is modern myth created by the fact that originally many programs were enacted following the CRA of 1965. I can provide evidence if you need it.

Fine, then do it, what do white people have to do with a black mom and dad being married with kids???

No argument here. I think the reasons vary depending on situation. In general whites typically have more money invested into their marriages. And while that is a blessing, it means that divorces are more costly.

If you have a greater investment in something you're going to fight to keep it. The issue is that black families usually don't invest as much in their marriage (if they have one at all).

quote:

---

Despite the significant benefits to white women from affirmative action programs in education, employment, and contracting; and despite the likelihood that gender discrimination, like its racial counterpart, would intensify in the absence of these programs, white women have been noticeably absent from the front lines of affirmative action's defense-even in the face of open assaults on such policies, like Proposition 209 in California. This paper will first demonstrate the degree to which affirmative action has benefitted white women in terms of education, and employment; then focus attention on continuing gender bias facing women in the United States-a reality that one might expect to heighten white women's opposition to ending affirmative action; next, the paper will examine the backlash against affirmative action and demonstrate the degree to which white women have been largely silent in the face of this backlash; and finally, the paper will discuss various theories to explain this silence and complicity-with particular attention to the vote in California-and what, if anything, can be done to mobilize white women to defend affirmative action.

is sisterhood conditional?

Tell you what, what specific evidence would it take to convince you that affirmative action may not be what you think it is.

So you are saying they are too unqualified or just plain stupid to take advantage of the only actual codified "systemic racism" that exists?

They want whitey gone. Period. How does this help us heal?

...its seems there is a connection...

Perception or stereotypes carry weight in judgment. Fairly or unfair...yes it happens


Too much stick together mindset when there is no prior relationship with a victim who happens to be a felon

African Americans being judged that way is a huge problem. George Floyd should not have been treated that way. He is a human being. It doesn’t matter what his record is. People stick together because of the history and reality of how African Americans have been treated in this country.

Senator Tim Scott, a Republican, gave a speech taking about these issues on a personal level.

he rose to the floor to deliver a moving speech about his personal history being stopped by law-enforcement officers for what amounted to driving while black. “While I thank God that I have not endured bodily harm,” he declared, “I have felt the pressure applied by the scales of justice when they are slanted. I have felt the anger, the frustration, the sadness, and the humiliation that comes from feeling that you are being targeted for nothing more than being just yourself.”

The first time he was stopped by police, his car had a malfunctioning headlight. A cop approached, hand on his gun, and told him, “Boy, don’t you know your headlight isn’t working properly?” He felt “embarrassed, ashamed, and scared. Very scared.”
Other traffic stops followed. Skipping past many of them, he chose to focus his remarks on “a time in my life when I was an elected official,” noting that while he would not share every interaction, “please remember that in the course of one year, I’ve been stopped seven times by law-enforcement officers. Not four, not five, not six, but seven times in one year as an elected official. Was I speeding sometimes? Sure. But the vast majority of the time I was pulled over for nothing more than driving a new car in the wrong neighborhood, or some other reason just as trivial.”

Once incident began as he was leaving the mall.
“I took a left. And as soon as I took a left the police officer pulled in right behind me. I got to another traffic light. I took another left into a neighborhood. Police followed behind me. I took a third left on the street that led to my apartment complex. And then finally I took a fourth left coming into my apartment complex, and then the blue lights went on. The officer approached the car and said that I did not use my turn signal on the fourth turn. Keep in mind, as you might imagine, I was paying very close attention to the law-enforcement officer who followed me on four turns. Do you really think that I forgot to use my turn signal on that fourth turn?”

Another time, he said, a cop pulled him onto a roadside median and declared that he believed the car Scott was driving might be stolen. “I also think about the experiences of my brother, who became a Command Sergeant Major in the United States Army, the highest rank for an enlisted soldier. He was driving from Texas to Charleston,” he said. “Pulled over by a law-enforcement officer who wanted to know if he had stolen the car that he was driving because it was a Volvo. I do not know many African American men who do not have a very similar story to tell no matter their profession, no matter their income, no matter their disposition in life.

A former staffer of his was the subject of one such story. He drove a Chrysler 300, “a nice car, but not a Ferrari. He was pulled over so many times here in D.C. for absolutely no reason other than for driving a nice car.” He sold that car to stop being targeted.
“Imagine the frustration, the irritation, the sense of a loss of dignity that accompanies each of those stops,” Scott said, relating that even on Capitol Hill, as a member of the Senate, he has been stopped by police and asked to prove his membership.

Modern black culture only values the opinions of successful blacks who are entertainers AND leftists. Any deviations from that mold get discarded as lucky uncle toms. That's the problem.

---

Agreed and the entertainers continue to promote gang culture, drugs, violence, etc. Rappers arnt rapping about going to trade school and starting an electrical company. They also ain’t rapping about starting a home with a wife and kids. Fix the culture and you will fix the problem of poor blacks. Unfortunately part of the culture problem is Democrat oppression to the black community. They are wanted to stay poor and on the governments tits.

Dismantling the police seems to indicate they want an Africa...yet suggesting they all be given free one way tix to Africa is racist.
