    If an African American or Latino tries to make something of their life by going to school or what have you they're literally accused of, "acting white," by their homies in the neighborhood.

    Ambition is literally defined as a white trait by African Americans and Latinos...

    I wonder what they call Asian desire to succeed then.

    Maybe in very poor areas, but the blacks and latinos I know are very driven and materialistic. FWIW I know where your post comes from.

    Haven't you heard? Asians are the whitest people of all.

    As you would expect from the smaller numbers who make a courageous jump and choose to live apart from their community.

    If you have a black man living 40 miles away from the nearest center of black culture, he's probably doing so for a good career opportunity.
    In fact I would even venture to guess the average black guy living in a virtually all white neighborhood probably has a bit more intelligence than the average white people living there.

    Where I live there are no segregated communities based on race, only social class.

    There is a city an hour away that has black ghettos and it is pretty bad.

    I wish I had more insight into this but it's not an easy subject. Very complicated.

    Asians only comprise 5% of the population yet make 117% more than Caucasians.

    Latinos comprise about 17% of the population and African Americans comprise around 13% of the population.

    If white people are privileged because they are a majority then how do liberals explain Asian Americans?

    It's pretty easy, actually, not complicated. The OP believes in an urban myth. Black people overall, whether living in poor black neighborhoods or wealthy white neighborhoods have nothing against ambition or education. People can muse about this fantasy all day long but I have never met a black person who said I want my children to be unsuccessful.

    Generally speaking, people live in poor housing because that's what they can afford, not because of a lack of desire for more wealth.

    Cool topic!!


    IMHO I hope you can consider how you juuuuust might be inadvertently confusing Ambition, with White Privilege, in light of the reality that this society this country this nation is not controlled by HISP and especially is not controlled by African Americans.


    But guess which group, it is in fact controlled by??
    Yes, we all know which group.

    Which means every citizen within that "controlling" group, get to wake each day, to empirical tangible proof that our "Ambitions" have a greater chance of coming to fruition.


    That makes a heck of a difference when [Latinos HISP Blacks] have to silently watch a society unfairly favor a specific group, for centuries, then somehow blame it all on those who are not within that favored group.

    That's likely because Asians are in fact, Caucasian people, and that is the nucleus of their success in America.

    If you had a European Caucasian girl and a Chinese/Eurasian girl, cover their eyes, then you would not be able to tell which is the European Caucasian girl. As a matter of fact, Euro-Caucasian men in America who IR-date, most often marry White Asian women. That is not coincidental.

    I think it is very important to understand that Asians who have the Whitest, skin color are the most successful Asians in America. Their ambition is off the charts, once they are born looking Eurasian.

    Do you believe the accomplishments of white men are a result of their, "privilege,' and not their individual effort???

    The mental "gymnastics" in this post are astounding.

    I'm going to paraphrase this post:

    Asians are Caucasians that's why they are successful but the more Caucasian looking an Asian is the more successful they are???

    But Asians are Caucasians???

    Yes, Asians are White people. At least the ones who get favored/allowed to excel, in all major cities of the world, as scientists even created a word for that reality; Caucasians

    No.


    However I do believe that all accomplishments of White men are in fact due to each ones, individual effort, to preserve and promote and practice White Privilege.

    Did truths exist, before I was born? Did facts exist, before I was born? Did 'proven history' exist, before I was born?



    White Privilege.

    No doubt.



    Look at his policies, look at his practices:

    *He treated White HISP and White LGBTQ like, precious gems, but he treated Black citizens like pets.
    *He let White police murder unarmed Black males, with impunity.
    *Great Recession saw Black unemployment rate as high as 32%, yet
    *Obama told the CBC "Hell no!" each time (2009 - Aug'11) whenever they asked him to
    *Use GOVT funds for ghetto-infrastructure projects, that exclusively employ Blacks.
    *Obama smiled upon a DREAM Act but then
    *Obama sure frowned upon any relief to Black citizens who suffer the eternal affects of Slavery.



    ...



    I always enjoy Min. Farrakhan's take, on how Obama treated Black citizens:

    So the Asians that are "allowed" to excel are Caucasians but the Asians who are not "allowed" to excel are not Caucasians???

    Makes Sense

    Actually, what you posted here does not make sense. Maybe you'll see how it all does make sense, if you just repeat what I actually posted instead of what you hallucinate that I posted. Same thing goes, for where you hallucinated that I said African American's are not responsible for the consequences of their actions and choices.

    It makes sense the most successful Empires and world powers were in or made up of people from Europe: Greeks, Spain, Portuguese, English, Dutch, Rome and Byzantium as examples plus the United States the mightiest global power currently.
