    Okay then, I'm glad that's all cleared up, so make the right choices in life. Sounds simple.

    One thing: how does this help blacks who continually make the right choices day in and day out yet for some reason still find themselves harassed by cops unfairly, passed over for jobs in favor of lesser people or flat out ignored despite being fully qualified?

    Were whole cities burned to the ground like Ferguson, Baltimore, Watts, Detroit etc. etc. ?

    I don't think all of Ferguson was burned to the ground and I definitely know Baltimore wasn't, just some blocks in a rough area were ruined. And which Detroit riot are you referring to?

    In any case don't act like blacks are the only one who've ever rioted in this country.

    Being an halfhaitian and being mistaken for white dude with a tan...yea so do I.
    I mentally laugh every time I hear, " I can say that to you right..cause you're not really black" or the "Holy S$%t, You're black!?"
    Wtf...it made a difference to you? is what i thought at the time..
    Now I'm learned...yes I have goten the "white privilege treatment" but the dads always knew I would screw up there gene pool, so I never went too far with the white, Asian, or Indian girls.:deadhorse:
    It is what it is.

    The Oreo term comes if you are a black , an snitching on a friend that gives you info based on the fact you are of the same heritage, just to up your status...not so much making right choices in life...Sometimes it is the right choice though...but often times not.

    Said every self-loathing fool liberal who needed a eternal excuse that would blame victimhood.

    50 years of the War on Poverty and any number of other stupid liberal policies.

    How's that working out for you ?

    in Baltimore there were ....

    , 285 to 350 businesses damaged, 150 vehicle fires, 60 structure fires,[12] 27 drugstores looted,[13] thousands of police and Maryland Army National Guard troops deployed, and with a state of emergency declared in the city limits of Baltimore.

    Thats more than just "some blocks" as you try to talk it down like left wingers always do. The whole city was declared in a state of emergency because the thugs ran loose.


    Ferguson was much of the same. Then of course there were the Watts/LA riots . The Detroit riots I am talking about were from 1967, I am not even getting into the riots involving MLK yet. But that is going through history, but today is much of the same with you know who starting riots, except these days it's mostly based on lies and stupidity as to why they riot.

    It's funny how the major riots in the country that actually cause significant damage are done by you know who. But please, keep pretending somehow other people are just as bad. Not even hispanics, who make up a greater amount of population than blacks, have caused anywhere near the amount of riots or destruction as you know who.

    Not as well as you hiding behind the notion that whites having it easier in this society is a lie.

    Let me put it like this: the Baltimore riots and the other ones listed were not the same. The Watts, Ferguson, Detroit and the MLK riots all stem from blacks feeling like they've been treated like (*)(*)(*)(*). Those are legitimate reasons to burn things and cause chaos.

    Losing a sports game or a Penn State coach isn't really legitimate.

    Self pity, my-failures-are-some-else's-fault, and someone has to pay my way because life has been unfair to me - all are the new American values.

    The black angry self-pity speel is well beyond tiresome to me.

    Whether we like it or not, until 2040(IE: A little over two decades from now), Whites are the majority of Americans. That very basic numerical fact also means they'll be the majority in every aspect of life where Whites participate: Politics, officers, etc, al. Equally, Blacks have also carved places productively in society where Whites aren't so 'represented'.

    Certain music archetypes, sports, etc. And they happen to be very successful. Everything in life is balanced out, that's my personal philosophical belief. If there's an "imbalance" here, there'll be an equalizer elsewhere.

    And in light of Affirmative Action(which I oppose), can we really say that Blacks are being passed over? I've tried and failed miserably at getting a job(and I'm White.) We don't know what goes on in the heads of the CEO's and the hiring departments making these decisions. Unless we have solid evidence of their racism, we can't say what factor excluded us from the job.

    And unfortunately for Blacks, in an era of ghetto and cultural violence, there's a "natural expectation" that if a violent crime happens, it's more likely than not to come from a black culprit. If there's racism in that, it's blacks being racist against their own kind by destroying their own communities. Everything else is a blowback effect.

    We must promote social mobility for Black People. That's the first step. Transforming those communities into decent neighborhoods and rebuilding the family structure of Black People will give Black Children a sense of hope and empowerment. Poverty is a cruel and vicious trap, and more blacks than Whites suffer from it.

    The end of poverty, will be the true black liberation for blacks.

    Generally I don't like words like racist and bigot, but both apply to the first words of your message.

    You are comparing a Penn St. riot to all of the ones listed? Are you serious, not even close to a fraction of damage was caused in comparison to Ferguson or Baltimore. All riots were stemmed from the same stupidity that has been carried on today. There is no good reason to riot and destroy tax payers property, in which we have to pay more to fix the damage, and victimize people.

    Rioting is for retards. But to try and compare the structural damage of PSU to Baltimore or Ferguson is seriously laughable.

    If you’re white, poor, and male, the chances are you’ll have a tougher start in life to that of your Asian, Chinese, or Black counterparts, a new report by Britain’s Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) has revealed.

    [​IMG]

    The findings, which run counter to the left-wing, social justice warrior (SJW) narrative of “white privilege” reveals that those born into less wealthy, white families in the United Kingdom will struggle in early life. The report is said to be “the most comprehensive review ever carried out on progress towards greater equality in Britain” according to the BBC.

    http://www.breitbart.com/london/2015/10/30/privilege-poor-white-boys-get-the-worst-start-in-life-reports-uk-equality-commission/

    White privilege disappeared from Britain with the fall of the British Empire. In the colonial era, there were certain places and facilities which were only reserved for whites but such racist practises had become obsolete in the 1950s. I have seen many underprivileged whites in the UK and you're not privileged unless you were born to be wealthy. It's not about your skin colour.

    It really is laughable, and doesn't even begin to comprehend the situation in PSU to Baltimore or Ferguson. Whereas in both cases, there's paux outrage for a criminal, in the PSU case there was a man who built a football program and a university. Literally BILLIONS into the PSU coffers thanks to Joe Pa.
    As a Pennsylvanian, I had the privilege and honor of visiting the PSU Campus in my junior year. It's a very beautiful place, and those are very beautiful and smart people.

    Happy Valley is a close, tight-knit family. Without knowing what's going on in Happy Valley, people wouldn't understand. And I don't care if the world calls it a "cult", it's our cult. It's our culture. I feel like Joe PA isn't responsible for anything, other than maybe he should've taken more steps than he did, but he didn't have any damning evidence. Just mixed testimony from an assistant(who he himself, did not do his legal and moral duty.)

    So it was indeed upsetting that he was forced to "step down"(for lack of a better term) due to the political correctness of the case, and the political witch hunt that resulted from it. In fact, eventually PSU got that money back in a landmark PA Supreme Court case. The only guilty party was Sandusky, no one else really.

    Black people named James aren't so it isn't racism.


    No it's name privilege.


    And most black people.


    Nope. Things are normal because they are common. So no it's not my opinion

    This is discrimination against people with odd names, not black folks.

    (boldface and large print mine)

    This is one of the core differences between whites and blacks.

    Very few whites feel it is OK to break the law or cause damage, but it appears that quite a few blacks do.

    Which would you want as an employee based on that alone?

    I agree.

    IMO it is easy for some blacks to destroy things because they do not contribute enough to society themselves to respect the effort and resources that go into creating a business such as a drugstore.

    Those that riot and destroy may think they are making a point about some political goal of theirs, but to me it just indicates what nonproductive ignoramuses they are.

    This is false of course and doesn't even reflect an accurate picture of Affirmative Action that only affects about 250,000 people annually. A study by the Economic Policy Institute in 2003 shows that racial descrimination in employment remains significant in the United States.

    http://www.epi.org/publication/webfeatures_snapshots_archive_09172003/

    This is not overt racism in the employment process but instead is based upon anti-black racial prejudice by the manager responsible for hiring where they believe the black person is less qualified even though the resume reflecting education and job experience and the interview is basically the same for the white and black applicants. Because the employing manager "believes" that the black person is less qualified because of anti-black racial prejudice they're less likely to be called back.

    Based upon other studies we also know that compensation for the same jobs is 40% less for blacks and 10% less for women in the United States when compared to compensation for white men.

    There's never been equality in employment for minorities or women in the United States when compared to white men in spite of the roughly 250,000 qualified people positively affected one time by Affirmative Action in employment and education annually in the United States.

    Come on man. You know what I am talking about. Existence of Affirmative Actions program is a power. The taxes collected from European immigrant go to the benefits of immigrant from Africa.
    Yes, sure, big corporations have all the money and political leverage, but majority of government decisions that directly affect my life in major big U.S. cities are made by African American community.
