I asked what the fuck this has to do with the rest of us.
I haven’t heard either of them speak on several years.
My tv has an off switch.
Find yourself a white “Jesse Jackson” since that seems to be your main gripe.

They make it seem like every white on black crime is racially motivated and every black on white crime is simply a blip.[/quote]
So what? I also doubt they do this with EVERY white on black crime, but I also doubt they hold any weight at all as far as my own opinion is concerned…s blame yourself for listening.
[quote]
Like it or not, they control a large portion of national opinion on what people perceive as racist crime.[/quote]
Bullshit. You CHOOSE to use what they say as a mouthpiece for all black people…just like the people in this forum act like we all think the same.
You gave their presence that power. No one else…and not any other black people.
[quote]
I don’t give a flying SHIT if you don’t think that they speak for all black people…it’s what the people that watch their shows and give them money think. And like it or not, there are a shit load of them.[/quote]
Then fault the idiots who think one man can speak for all black men in the country.
No offense, but that is racism…believing that my personal opinion can be heard through another black man.
The fault again is with YOU for believing I am not an individual…just like every other black man in this country.

Hope so, because that would be hilarious, but I haven’t seen DU yet.
Uh…wow.
{black privilege is thinking you got pulled over by police because you are black and not because you were speeding}
If you say so.
[quote]KALAMAZOO, Mich. (WOOD) - Police and community members are responding to the results of a racial profiling study that show Kalamazoo Department of Public Safety officers pull over African-American drivers at a much higher rate than others.
KDPS Chief Jeff Hadley was very upfront at a Wednesday morning new conference in admitting that this is a problem that the department has to work on moving forward, and that it will make changes.
Chief Hadley began by going over the results of the racial profiling study that was conducted at the request of the department.
The study looked at 17,695 traffic stops at random locations and days from March 2012 to February 2013.
It found that black drivers were two-and-a-half times more likely to be pulled over. They were told to get out of their vehicle and handcuffed at a much higher rate.
However, they were significantly less likely to have drugs or other contraband on them than non-blacks.[/quote]
Gee, interesting…
Who wrote this crap? They are wrong on nearly every account. I can make any statement I want about hispanics and not worry about offending them?
Really?
Since when?
White people really believe this shit? That blacks think they get pulled over for race and it is all in our heads?

You just don’t see your own black privilege because you grew up with it. You could never understand what it’s like to live in a cultural marxist zeitgeist, hostile to your own heritage, because you benefit from it. It’s classic standpoint theory.
Check your privilege, brah.

LOL…I just showed you how thsoe statements were flat out wrong.
Just face it…there is no comparison to having a crisp white America for 3 and a half centuries and thinking this hasn’t aided a race at all in a social sense leading to today.
Racism is thinking Jesse Jackson speaks for me.
Racism is thinking that blacks are making up racial profiling and how often we get pulled over because it doesn’t happen to you and you think your perspective is superior.
Racism is in ignoring the statements of educated black people and acting like it is nonsense even when studies get shown directly to you.

So everything we think is racist and everything you think is the truth.
That works for me…

The more you deny it, the more you confirm your life has been coddled by black privilege. It’s like how fish can’t see water, you don’t realize how privileged you are because that’s all you know.
Really, I can’t blame you, but I do anyway because you have agency and should therefore check this unfalsifiable privilege I’ve already defined as undetectable by you.
Racist.

I wouldn’t know about “everything” you think. I do know thinking Jesse Jackson has anything to do with me personally is racist.

Haha, OK Ct. Rockninja
Believe it or not, I never said that the good Reverend had anything to do with you personally.
I said that the good Reverend claims to speak on behalf of black people and that influences the mainstream media on what is racially motivated and what is not.
As per typical X arguing technique, you invented an argument that was not there.
Well played.

Thanks for playing.

Nice try bro, it’s not about what I think…it’s about what they say and how many believe them.
Which apparently is a vast number of people if their television appearances in the Duke Lacross case and Zimmerman trial is any example.
You need to quit looking for the racist boogeyman under every bed and see what the media is capable of doing to our country, telling people what is and what is not racist.
Love the snide remarks after most of your posts these days…I am still at a loss why they let you back in here.
Well this thread has run it’s course…thank god.
You all have a good night.

If people out there don’t support Al Sharptongue and Jesse Hijackson, why hasn’t anyone that isn’t White spoken out against them, its just allowed to roll along?
If the White community/people/folks were to somehow get someone as devious as one of the two fellows above, not only would PC America have them fired from whatever news channel they broadcasted on, they’d also make every Black Panther hitlist in the country and probably wouldn’t last long.
Geez, do people forget how sportswriters got fired/reprimanded for saying that black guys are more athletic than white guys? I mean its a truth, and a compliment, and its STILL racist.

Surely you are aware of the existence of David Duke and Pat Robertson, right?
These gents are the honky equivalents of Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson. They don’t speak for all white people (though they presume to), but they have a pretty big following. They even ran for President.

It is still racist, because it perpetuates a stereotype that may be demonstrably true in many cases, but not all cases.
The fact that you sound incredulous that this “truth” is STILL considered racist is why Professor X gets on your case so often, and why I gave you a hard time on the Japanese thread: people are individuals.
Blanket statements like “the blacks are athletic and they’re good dancers and they commit a lot of crimes” or “the Japanese are reserved and industrious and can’t handle alcohol” or “the whites are intelligent and rich and power-hungry” or “Chinese are studious and cunning and avaricious” are stereotypes that people don’t question too hard, despite the fact that they are wrong in many, many, many cases.
Yes, many individuals from each group do possess the qualities of their respective group’s stereotype, but so do a lot of individuals from the other groups. Classing people by their ethnic stereotype, an assuming that all or most individuals in that group conform to the stereotype, is intellectual laziness.
And avoiding or shunning an individual based on your assumption that he or she conforms to the stereotype is bigotry. Not only does it keep you from interacting with people who might otherwise benefit you, it creates a self-perpetuating cycle in which people in each group assume certain aspects of the stereotype to be true, and may not try to be anything other than what “everyone knows” to be true about them anyway. Some people are able to break free from their ethnic stereotypes. Most are not.
So this, and only this, is my rationale for thinking that discrimination or racism or bigotry or whatever you want to call it is a negative thing: that it denies the individual the rights mentioned in the Declaration of Independence. It’s hard to live, let alone be free and pursue happiness, when the world has already decided who you are and what you’re going to be. Especially if what they think you’re going to be is not that much.
