Man, you're so close to getting it.

It's almost like economic status, not skin color, is the most critical factor in life outcomes, including your pension for violent crime. So being subjugated to the shittiest neighborhoods and the worst schools for generations and having to overcome white favoritism/cronyism/nepotism/etc. in the modern workplace (good thing we're doing away with DEI to get back to our normal practice of hiring mediocre whites) isn't an overnight fix. Crawling out from the hole that our ancestors dug for them takes a little more than "hey, you have basic human rights now and you got a black President; what else do you want?"

Not to mention every single time black people started to succeed, whites slammed the door on them - see Tulsa for a great example.

Dude....it's that black president that fucking broke this country.  So, yeah, you're spot-on.  Seriously, white America can't stop saying "what are you bitching about, you even got a black president!"....when electing that black president is what COMPLETELY broke their fucking brains.  Sure, the "it all started" moment for this modern christo-fascist racist movement was well before then, but 2008 was the moment of irrevocable acceleration.  Electing a black man was a bridge too far, and they were and are willing to destroy this fucking country just to make sure that nothing like that EVER happens again.  It's literally what they are doing as we speak.

Except no one is taught that because the school would be doing a CRT, and that would make white kids and their parents feel bad. So they eliminate teaching real history and DEI for the "good" of America.

And, of course, it was definitely the left that pushed CRT so hard, not Fox News manipulating smooth-brained viewers like him.

Yep. There is a great book called White Rage that goes into this push back throughout the history of the US.

Not really, just don't have tapa to post the chart.  Here's a link or two, if you're interested.

The atrocities of slavery are always going to be a fact.  Pointing to them as a reason to commit violent crime at exponentially higher rates than your neighbors several hundred years later is suspect at best.   

Is data from the FBI good enough, or is murder another one of the systemically racist parts of our justice system?  While I'm certain you don't need a reminder, AA make up less than 14% of the US population.

In my lifetime, AA have had more rights than any other "underserved" communities.  More than any of the alphabet group, more than any other brown group that crosses a border to get here, etc.   The 25+ years proceeding my birth, I've read they definitely had a rough time. Some of the most intelligent posters on this board are AA (I believe, I don't know them personally) so please miss me with low hanging racist one liners.   Obtaining quality education and escaping poverty doesn't really see skin color.  They dont give out home loans to poor white trailer trash any more than they do poor black/latino/other.   If anything, I'd argue obtaining higher education was actually easier at some points in time. 

Flattie, I am not going to be an asshole in hopes that you hear me.

I have said this here before but I guess it needs repeating. I am the first generation in my family to live their entire life with equal rights by law. My daughter is 16. We haven't even gotten to our 3rd generation yet. My mom joined the police dept a few years out of high school. Then she went back to school and got her nursing degree. Then she literally spent the rest of her life not taking care of herself so that I could get out. Mom died at 64. Not everyone is willing to dive on the grenade to further future generations but she did that and here I am. My mom never owned a home and I own a home in one of the richest suburbs in Houston, before that Woodland Hills CA, before that a golf course cul-de-sac. Now I am not rich, but my daughter has never known struggle. Most blacks are somewhere between my mom and me.

Now you mentioned slavery which is a mistake a lot of conservative whites always make when having a little civil discourse about the black struggle. After slavery you had a huge backlash about blacks being free as soon as you know who got in office. Then came decades of taking away any progress blacks made. Debt Peonage. Jim Crowe. Racial Covenants. Redlining. Whites were violent against blacks on the regular. Then came the 70's and being physically violent against blacks wasn't kosher. So whites started attacking blacks through law making like stop and frisk. The US prison population was about 300,00 in 1970 and almost 2 million 3 decades later. Reagan instituted the 100-1 law where 5 grams of crack got you the same sentence as 500 grams of powder. Crackheads with 3 little rocks in their pocket were going away for years instead of getting help under the guise of "distribution". Again, any progress the black community made was being wiped out with swaths of people being put away for a ridiculous amount of years for having an addiction. Then came the 94 crime bill, the 3 strikes and your out bill, and gang injunction. Under gang injunctions if you were caught on the street after curfew. Jail. If you were thought to be a gang member and you were talking to another suspected gang member. Jail. If you were believed to be wearing what law enforcement saw as gang colors, or had suspicious tattoos. Jail.

So you see buddy, they have never left us alone. It's 2025 and The President of the United States of America is attacking Universities for teaching about African Americans and punishing anyone with a Diversity program. But yeah......slavery.

 

PS. As soon as white people started smoking weed regularly they decriminalized it. They also started trying to get people help when the opioid epidemic hit White America. Had that been us they would've increased the sentences.

Would y’all please quit quoting this moronic pos? You aren’t going to change his mind. This guy is eternally pissed because his physician mom chose to live among and serve a poor Hispanic community instead of chasing dollars, thus somehow depriving him of something. It is bonkers.  
 

He truly feels like he bootstrapped himself to his current position coming from that background lol. He has literally lived having it better than those around him, watched his mother alleviate the suffering of those less fortunate, and was able to come away with nothing but disdain and contempt. Don’t waste your time on him.

As soon as? Lulz. Good one. But that’s inaccurate. Cannabis has never been a drug exclusively or predominantly used by minorities. That claim was propaganda promoted by special interests advocating prohibition back in the 30’s. That included changing the spelling of marihuana to marijuana in order to create an association with those lazy Mexicans. It’s true that the penalties for use are more severe for black and brown people. But there’s no evidence that they’ve ever used more than white people.

Cannabis use became much more widespread in the 50’s and 60’s so even if accurate, the “as soon as” assertion would be laughable because decriminalization/legalization is a recent development. But the most severe prohibitive measures were enacted by Nixon who made it a Schedule I drug alongside heroin in 1970. That was in retaliation against protesters of the Vietnam War who were predominantly young and white. The aim was to associate pot use with the hippies and use it as a weapon against the antiwar movement. Heroin was associated with the black community and used as cover to investigate, arrest, and jail their leaders.

There is racism in our drug laws. The best example is probably the 100-to-1 disparity in the penalty for trafficking crack vs. powder cocaine where 5g of crack got you 5 years while it took 500g of powder cocaine to get the same sentence.

Rolled across the Telly last night while I was enjoying a really nice Russian River Pinot and snapped a quick photo in advance of the inevitable “FSU shooter was a gay libtard” narrative that will get pushed by the GQP ghouls.

Closet homosexual, small dick, knows he'll never amount to anything and is pretty sure it's brown people's fault even though he's been below average in his all-white suburban classrooms his whole life, thinks the brown Jews killed White Jesus, has almost certainly paid for an abortion (thank you, universe) even though he firmly and unironically believes that women who have abortions are sinners who will burn in Hell, etc.

I can confirm this. Grew up in oklahoma. 9th grade oklahoma history never taught:

1. Tulsa race massacre 

2. cherokee tribe winning the supreme court case against the united states of america, and subsequently president andrew jackson sending the military to force the cherokee tribe to walk to oklahoma

3. cherokee tribe funding and sending a ship of food to ireland as part of a humanitarian aid during the potato famine. I learned of this at the charleston navy yard national park in boston.

Things we did learn

1. 1889 land rush to get more people of european descent into oklahoma

2. five civilized tribes. Cherokee, choctaw, chickasaw, creek, seminole. I can still name them from memory. Presumably, all the other tribes are uncivilized.

My viewpoint likely makes me woke. So be it.

Lupin Ranch. Get it at CM when they knock a fair amount of the normal cost. Pretty good stuff.

Not sure how old you are but drugs are trendy. There was a solid generation of well-to-do white kids who were spending their time on lines rather than smoking weed. Which is exactly why there was a 100 to 1 law at that time.  If the government was making harsh laws for a particular drug best believe it was because mainstream white folks weren't going to be affected.
