Re: Are black peope discriminated against?

Don't they have "Black Only" houses in US College's? And a "Black" tv channel?

I notice no Black people complained about that particular act of discrimination.

Re: Are black peope discriminated against?

Re: Are black peope discriminated against?

"it's because the blacks in united states are very racist. they want to restrict the use of some words to black population only. such as the n-word. i wonder, how would the blacks feel if the whites decreed that no black person can say "bread" any longer?"

To be fair it'd be more comparable to say they can't say "cracker" anymore.  I partially agree with Deci but you do have to remember that in the US only 40 or 50 years ago the word [woof!] carried the same connotation as calling someone a dog.  Now personally I think they should get over it but the point is there are still people alive who remember segregation, once those people die off and their children die off, I think we should officially send a letter to every black person saying, "Ok we've given you long enough we're using the word."

Re: Are black peope discriminated against?

LOL....

the only way to fight racism in a country is to have people of one race only(makes things worse internationaly)
99.99% people in my country are white(like really white, no spanish and that sort of white but scandinavian white). I see a person from another race every 2 months.70% of the people in my country are openly racist against black(news poll). My neighbour is also openly a nazi. I went to the finnish rally(WRC) with him and he refused to get food from a black chef. So racism isn't that bad in the USA.

Re: Are black peope discriminated against?

"I've had police pull me over simply because my car doesn't look like anything that they feel I could afford and give me tickets for something as miniscule as driving while on a cell phone. Despite the fact that I was calling to tell my job that I was running 10 minutes late. Cops have pulled me over simply because they were "Doing routine stops". I've had a policeman pull me over because I bought a new car and he wanted to verify that I was the owner. No matter how you see it, it's racial profiling. Something that you can't understand unless you're the target of it. I'm not saying 100% of all incidents where someone claims discrimination is true, but I seriously doubt you Flint or you Justin can comprehend the embarassment and sheer harassment that the law enforcement can give to a person."
Plenty of whites get pulled over for talking on mobiles, here in the UK anyway, because they cause deaths on the roads. That's not miniscule.
The Police will stop anyone that they believe or suspect is not the actual owner of a vehicle, for obvious reasons. It happens to plenty of whites, though, granted, I've only really seen it here in UK. The few things that I have seen about America have all been whites, though there's also alot more Police brutality in Amercia?
I'm not the victim of racial profiling, and I know I don't know how you feel. But, the above are just general things that really could happen to anyone and you'd have to be unlucky to get all of them, but people certainly will have, and been fine since they're good citizens.
I once heard of a black man buying a cadillac, then getting taken to the Police station for dangerous driving, and since he'd been actually absolutely fine, they couldn't charge him. However, upon leaving the station the same Police car then followed the black man for an hour and a half or something. That, is racial discrimination.

"The name that you hand in on your job application can get you turned away from employers because they feel that you don't fit the description of what they want without even reading your application. I've seen this first hand."
I don't doubt that, but there are many things that can get you rejected like that. Not being able to spell, for example, will get you instantly disconsidered, especially if there are alot of applicants. My Mum has got a massive and varied career in her field, yet she's been declined because of "lack of experience." Haha, I don't think so.


Something that I saw on the news yesterday. A Police DCI (I think) was having a do of some sort, and someone had bought him a model BMW to add to his collection of model cars. Upon opening he remarked: "Ah, Black man's wheels!" And do you know what? He's now been demoted a rank following some complaints. Now, really, this is a massive overreaction. Are there plans to sack all people who've made any such remark from their jobs? This is crazy, it's a massive overreaction. Absolutely ridiculous. A tongue in cheek comment got some over sensitive people. Have they nothing better to complain about? The report talked to some other people, (mainly black,) and one black man remarked: "I think it's racist, it's bracketing people, and I drive a BMW."
Then, another Black man, who is the home office advisor on Black gun and gang culture, (something along those lines,) said that the comment was actually correct based on demographic trends.

This is discrimination the other way. In the UK, there is far too much "political correctness" and we really need to take stock and look at what's really happening.

avo i'd consider the limit to be, where your clothing some how disrespects someone or some religion/culture/race

if God's ok with it tongue, and if doesn't disrespect anyone, there should be no problem at all

"avo i'd consider the limit to be, where your clothing some how disrespects someone or some religion/culture/race"

so its ok wearing ski masks, trench coats, and shotguns into stores and banks and they shouldnt be treated any differently? and if some people find the german flag offensive because it reminds them of the holocaust, no one should be able to wear anything with the german flag, or anything that is a staple of germany, like a mercedes logo, or a bmw logo? and then just about any message on a t-shirt could be construed as offensive by someone. and then different colored clothing could offend certain people like all black (satanic) or all white (kkk) or local gang colors; so all of that is out too. maybe the government should just issue us uniforms.

Re: Are black peope discriminated against?

lol I don't particularly care for any American flag honestly. America is a stolen country built on free labor and fueled by greed and egos. Not really much to salute or be proud of. But anyhow, this thread has shown a lot of immaturity as I knew it would happen. But like I said

Racism will never end because neither side is willing to understand the struggles and discrimination towards the other side. And those who are willing to try, only get caught in the crossfires of those fanning the flames towards the other side.

Re: Are black peope discriminated against?

"America is a stolen country"

Bought.  Bought for next to nothing is still bought, and what wasn't bought was won through military conflict which was at the time a perfectly acceptable practice for the acquisition of new territory.  Furthermore it happened over 200 years ago can we please get over it already.

"Racism will never end because neither side is willing to understand the struggles and discrimination towards the other side."

I agree racism will never end but not out of a lack of willingness to understand one another.  I direct you to post #78 in this thread by the Yell (page 4 third from the top).  When white people try to understand the plight of minorities they say we'll never be able to and get pissed off that we're arrogant enough to try.  When we accept we can't understand their plight and they get pissed off that we aren't even trying.  I've tried to sympathies with minorities and understand what they go through but I've come to the conclusion they're like a bad girlfriend.  No matter what we try to do to make things better we're wrong so why should we bother?  Maybe that's immature but I'm just tired of trying.

Re: Are black peope discriminated against?

DPS its because of comments like:

"highly educated my ass; you had your degree and job handed to you because of your race."

That fuel what you're talking about smile

But anyway, I am not racist and don't associate with racist ppl no matter their race. Its like, I see ppl in here talking about they aren't racist, its the other ppl being racist and they are mad that the others are getting away it and they have to suffer. Frankly it just goes so many ways. A few bad apples spoil the bunch =/

If a black man gets an education and a good job, it was handed to him because he was black and not because he worked hard for it? That's bs. You can't make that statement without knowing how that person grew up and what his available educational and financial resources were like.

Then on the flip side, if a white man goes into a job interview and he's up against a black man who's interviewing for the same job but he gets it instead. Its stupid to say that the black man didn't get it because of racism. That white man could've grown up making straight A's while getting bullied by some local trailer park trash white kids who were jealous of his will to persevere and he worked hard for his opportunities.


I mean, its really not any of our faults that we are put in these situations. I've done pretty ok for myself but should I be subjected to discrimination because maybe another black man beat you up and robbed you one day when you were walking home from school?

And should you have to spend your life being called a racist because a man with your complexion raped an old black woman in a bathroom 40 years ago?

Its an awful situation that this country is in and I can't help but understand why a lot of black ppl don't trust white ppl. Segregation and discrimination hasn't faded 100% and what happened so brutally and openly in past decades still goes on today.

And at the same time, there are plenty of white americans who grew up despising racism and have extended hands to their brothers and sisters and fellow americans of other backgrounds and nationalities only to be labeled and spat on. Its not fair to them and who wants to be blamed for something they didn't do? I mean seriously, as a human being, who wants to actually be blamed for hurting someone in the worst way or committing the most evil acts that another person can imagine and you have had no part in it whatsoever? Its a painful feeling.


I dunno, what I will do is embrace ppl who are willing to just chill and talk and relate to me as a human being without regard to color or nationality and are doing something positive with their lives because frankly, this racism and discrimination is just bs.

Sex without the e is still SX!

Re: Are black peope discriminated against?

But there are people of color who say that color-blind approach is a bigoted repression of their ethnic heritage.  I say that's baloney but that's what we have in this country and why we still have a struggle.

"DPS its because of comments like:

nope, its not statements like that, because statments like that are practically non-existent in the world for fear of being labled racist.  its universities and corporations giving minorities advantages that makes other people think when they see a black in their college class or the work place he's there because of affirmative action and that he probably isnt as qualified as my white and asian peers.  with blacks not getting something over white, theres a possibility that racism came to play, when a black gets something, affirmative action always comes into play whether it was neseccary or not. so a tiny amount of what whites accomplish is through racism, while everything blacks accomplish is through affirmative action.
