VA school required students to imitate, Black Slaves, moving through the Underground Railroad.

Their freedom aka Equal Employment Opportunity & Equal Access to Prosperity, and worst of all, Equal Protection of The Laws.

 

Of course it is true.

Hell, you can even be president.

Of course the lazy, uneducated, gang members, and overall worthless POS's, in the black community.
Will always say...….It's because I'm black.

NO, it's because your a POS.

 

That was an unfortunate incident that occurred during the desperate early months of the Korean War when the North was on the verge of driving S Korean and US for es into the sea

As tragic as the deaths of innocent people was the consequences for Korea were much worse

 

I respect MLK’s worth as a civil rights leader

But the “i have a dream speech” was not entirely bis own

 

“White Asians?”

Thats a new one

 

The last two are not true

South Korea is one of the most vibrant economies and societies on the planet

If we had not intervened it would be part of the insane north korean regime threatening japan and other US interests in the region

And since the attempted communist takeover failed I cannot sgree that we lost the war

 

So? Does it make it any less powerful? Does it make the content less meaningful or inspirational? No.

 

It makes it not his own

Which obviously came as a shock to many people 50 years after his death

I think there is little question that the most powerful speech in American history was the Gettysburg Address

Imagine the reaction if that turned out to be the work of someone other than Lincoln

 

Yes they are. Or they are still in power positions in the companies. But it is getting less and less, no doubt.
I figured by now, we could do away with AA, but, it racist tones rears it's ugly head from time to time.
We likely hold the favor when you and I don't have to talk about it anymore. When things have become so normal and equal, the issue just fades away into the night. IMO.

We have a poster who defends redlining done by the gov't. And then blames the ending of redlining for the housing boom/bust.

This is typical of a certain age group and they are still in the work force. But they will be out of the picture in a decade.

 

Conservatives want equal oppertunity based on merit so they do not typically support AA

LIberals otoh want equal results so they want AA

 

So does everyone else want AA to end, not just conservatives. But sadly that isn't the case.
Did you not post defending redlining? And blame the end of redlining for the housing boom/bust? Yes.

When AA fades into the night, then we know that equal opportunity has occurred.
Until that time, those who thought redlining was a good policy still have some power.

 

You have to let AA end not just talk about it

As for redlinning bankers want to lend money

If they refuse to lend its for a sound financial reason

 

Did they wear blackface while doing it.

 

I just said, it will end when there are no more people who thought redlining was a good policy.
When equal opportunities are so common, no one will even think about AA. It will just fade away.

 

Lincoln was accused of plagiarizing both Pericles and the King James translators.

Those are amazing charges against a man who never went to high school or college.

He was self-educated by candle light in a log cabin so imo he had probably studied both and was influenced by both. But he wrote his own speech.

I'm a Southerner and thank God Lincoln went to war with the South.

 

Mac mentioned Africans. I'm pretty sure Mac is not African. He is being factual about the success of African immigrants in the U.S. Sorry (not sorry) if this doesn't support your mindset.

 

No, it's not new.

American racism since the, 1960's, has deemed the Whitest-skin Asians as the main Asians which America appreciate and uplift.

Which is exactly why it is indeed a, fact, that if you go look at a pic of the top1000 most successful Asian Americans you'll quickly notice how they look just like northern-European Caucasians ---if your cover their eyes.

So don't be foolish here and blame, me, for telling the truth. Just go blame America for being a racist hellhole toward people who don't have White skin like me and you have..

 

The Caucasus mountains are not in northern Europe. They are between the Black and Caspian seas. Think Georgia (no not that Georgia) and Azerbaijan.

 

White is a slang term for Caucasian.
Caucasian is a race
Asian is a race
they are different

 

This is an unfair comparison, for Mac to even mention African imms. Yes. And that'd simply be because this nation was not built on the backs of African imms.

And therefore African imms don't know/have not lived, the legacy of slavery and Jim Crow laws.

African imms are just happy, to be here, as they have no investment in the USA Black Plight so they cannot relate to it. African imms have no 'non-Black citizens' to compare their lot to, decade after decade, as our nation continues to cheat Black citizens.

African imms are just happy to be here. Black citizens deserve more, and are owed more than just 'a happiness' about being in a nation that was built on their backs.

It is nonsensical to mention African imms in this instance ---unless you are comparing how much they get cheated vs Caucasoid-looking immigrants. For example, we can fairly look at the USA's White-racism forces at work when Black Haitian refugees wash ashore vs when White HISP Cubans wash ashore upon the exact same USA beaches.

 

Nixon went to China and soon the flood of cheap Chinese products came and Chinese students came.

I don't know if Nixon favored the light skinned Chinaman over the dark skinned Cambode, but it wouldn't have been much of a big political hoopla if Nixon had gone to Phnom Penh.

The cause might be pure political aggrandizement and big optics. Anyway, Nixon going to China was really bad for the USA. Kissinger might have cooked up the recipe but Nixon was in charge of the gumbo.

 

This ironclad scholarship, you posted, except for how you left out the precursor for Nixon making haste to get over to China.

 

I never heard the term before so it must some common only under wet rocks

The idea that your imaginary racist white America woke up one morning in the 1960’s and decided that Japanese and Koreans and Chinese were OK but the Thais and Indians and Philippinos were not because their skin was darker is a pertty silly notion

You really should think again

But its not entirely inaccurate either

Asians have earned respect in recent years for their achievements based on academic excellence, ambition, and hard work

But white people had nothing to do with it

If there is a permeant underclass of asians who live off welfare in ghettos I have not found it

One more thing

You write:

“you'll quickly notice how they look just like northern-European Caucasians ---if your cover their eyes.”

What you are saying without realizing it is that Koreans and other Asians did not seek to be Koreans in a foreign land

They came to be Americans and so adopted the traits that made America great

To the extent that except for their physical appearance they do appear to be white Americans

Because they are

The downtrodden minorities could do the same

There is nothing in law holding them back

 

Another destroyed stereotype is in the Mexicans.
All of you older people here will remember how Mexicans were considered lazy.
That was their stereotype,

Now, it turns out Mexicans are some of the hardest working people in America,
And nobody even mentions the old stereotype.

But nobody did that except the Mexicans themselves.
