Re: Do you think Blacks or more suppressed or Asians, by Whites?

You had better watch it with this talk about Blacks, Asians, and any minority or nationality! There are people who will not understand your interest in these things. People will think that you are a racist!
I hope that you are only fooling with us. We are use to you.
The people at the home may not!

You asked a pretty question; I've given you the ugly answer.

lol wtf?

Re: Do you think Blacks or more suppressed or Asians, by Whites?

The people at the home will most likely give her a pass because they know she suffers from mental illness. We usually give passes to people we know aren't "all there".

How she is perceived by people of color (who don't know her) outside of that environment is where she needs to censor herself, because that could be very dangerous for her.

Re: Do you think Blacks or more suppressed or Asians, by Whites?

Yes, danger, danger, danger talking like that around black people.

Many black people will try to rope you into conversations about race as a means of looking for justifications to victimize you.

Stay neutral.

Re: Do you think Blacks or more suppressed or Asians, by Whites?

It's a legitimate topic. I'm just trying to understand it because of the typo. I think she meant "are" not "or".

"Do you think Blacks are more suppressed or Asians, by Whites?"

Posters are permitted to post controversial topics. Why is that question racist? If it's racist against anyone, it's racist against whites.

Christina is mixed race. She's half Asian. She lives in the South with a history of slavery and discrimination against blacks. She has good reason to ask that question.

Re: Do you think Blacks or more suppressed or Asians, by Whites?

The question is about NOW though, not in the past.

Re: Do you think Blacks or more suppressed or Asians, by Whites?

You know as well as I do that you can't separate the present from history.

But even now, if you look at income disparities, Asian-Americans are on par with whites and black Americans have half the net worth of whites.

That shows right there how history has set blacks back. It's absurd to claim that Asian immigrants who came to the U.S. in the last 70 years have endured anywhere near the "suppression" endured by blacks.

In fact, I would remove all Affirmative Action advantages for Asian-Americans and white females. In the U.S. in the 21st century they are not oppressed nor "suppressed".

Re: Do you think Blacks or more suppressed or Asians, by Whites?

The past doesn't really impact people much except on paper.

I was thinking of a black kid I was talking to months ago and he had just completed his class about WWII. I was excited to talk about it and I asked, what do you think about that Hitler!?

Who?

Most people barely know anything much about anything.

Most people do not have "scope".

The average white person only knows about their immediate family typically and doesn't think much about where they fit into history. Most black people don't even know their own families and are very "now" oriented beings.

It is obvious that history is a domino effect and that the choices my ancient ancestors made are still affecting me in some way, but for real my daily choices are king.

I don't do drugs, gamble, I am super hard working, I expect nothing from no one, I don't cheat in relationships, and so forth. All of those choices tend to be based on observation about how the world around me works.

There's whole classes of people who live in squalor and heinousness, and they do it to themselves.

In Philly we have a white drug area called Kensington and that places is like something from another planet with morals and values. However, if you talk to people from there, they know standard morals and values. They choose to act like savages.

Black people tend to have VERY conservative values, and yet, generally speaking, act very poorly.

Re: Do you think Blacks or more suppressed or Asians, by Whites?

Even if people now are oblivious to history, they are still affected by it.

How do you explain the 2 to 1 income disparity among blacks if it is not the historical result of not only slavery, but of Jim Crow and segregation and racism after slavery? Are you saying it's genetic? If not, why the income disparity?

If you're white and have a family which lived in the U.S. for generations, you have benefited from wealth and inheritance passed down from generation to generation. If you're black, wealth was stolen from your ancestors 200 years ago in the form of forced labor. That leaves blacks at a deficit.

Even my ancestors who immigrated from Greece and stepped off the boat 100 years ago were rewarded white privilege and a relative freedom from discrimination not enjoyed by the descendants of slaves. The same can be said of Asian immigrants who came here and brought family wealth with them from Asia. They didn't come here in shackles on slave boats.

You and I started out with advantages blacks don't have because of the legacy of slavery and discrimination. Choices we make as individuals are still acted out within the context of history.

Sure, I know many a white person who has screwed up their lives on drugs and has been bailed out by daddy. Obviously if the residual of white wealth is twice that of blacks, that has an effect on everything, including drug addicts.

Re: Do you think Blacks or more suppressed or Asians, by Whites?

The economic issues and what not are explained by a kid in a black school, run by black people, who got an "A" in his WWII class, and doesn't know who Hitler is.

That's for real.

In the abortion topics we have been talking about accepting harsh reality, and that is one.

Not all people are the same.

There's a lot of talk about animals being "invasive species" and hate that. However, some animals don't really fit in to the new place they find themselves. It's likely that some types of humans aren't really right where they find themselves.

Re: Do you think Blacks or more suppressed or Asians, by Whites?

Can you tell me why you think American blacks have half the net income of American whites? If it's not the historical legacy of slavery and discrimination, what is it?

As for the dumbfuck kid who never heard of Hitler, individuals vary. I have a close black friend who hates Hip Hop and loves rock. I know a 20 year old black kid who is a high school drop out and recovering addict who loves Italian film and is teaching himself Italian.

Re: Do you think Blacks or more suppressed or Asians, by Whites?

Black people are not typically intellectuals.

They are not people who will sit and read books all day or get a dictionary and look up words.

The kids who did remember Hitler, will not be fascinated and look up Hitler and read about him for the next ten years.

I work with a lot of black therapists with grad degrees and they literally know nothing about psychology. They went to black colleges and were probably introduced to the important concepts, but can't remember them.

I love working for black organizations because no one bothers me. I can do what I want and am never micromanaged.

If you work with or for white women it's heinous. You will be bogged down in pointless detail and never do anything.

Anyway, black people are not interested in the things the western culture tends to be, so they do less well.

Music:

If you listen to jazz, it's everyone playing their instruments the way THEY want to and it's no coordinated. I mean real grassroots black jazz.

Rap music is people rambling on about their genitals, how they hate someone, or how great they are. The music will be repetitive background noise.

White music is poetry, complex composition, it can be written on paper in a special "music language" and so on.

Black people are in a world invented by another type of animal.

If you put a puppy in with a bunch of beavers, there's going to be conflict.

Beavers and puppies are equally awesome, but they aren't the same creature.

Dude, you just described the majority of white people as well. Your average white male would rather watch a Vin Diesel movie than read a book. I've lived my entire life annoyed by the banality of most the white people around me.
I work with a lot of black therapists with grad degrees and they literally know nothing about psychology. They went to black colleges and were probably introduced to the important concepts, but can't remember them.
If that's true, why is that? Is it innate and genetic? Or is there a cultural reason?

I once had a black male boss who micro-managed everything I did. He couldn't see the forest for the trees. If most black managers are hands off, that's a good thing.

That sounds more to me like the difference between male general focus and female attention to detail. That's a male/female dichotomy. I would imagine black females are detail oriented as well unless you think race trumps gender. Sorry, I think ovaries override ancestry on an issue like that.

That's what I like about jazz, the more free form the better. That's why it lends itself to avant garde.

I will also say that without the African influence on Western music, we'd all be doing the polka. Every great Western musical tradition with the exception of Classical was invented by blacks - blues, jazz, r&b and even the beginning of rock. There would be no rock n' roll without blacks.

Music is indeed one area where blacks outshine whites.

Dude, listen to a song by AC/DC or Katy Perry and tell me most "white" music isn't pop pap.

Re: Do you think Blacks or more suppressed or Asians, by Whites?

You don't know what you're talking about, literally.

You list exceptions and whatnot and it doesn't disprove general rules. For instance there's a song by Kiss I always thought retarded called Lick it Up.

They just say that over and over. However, that does not define white music in general across time.

There's awesome genius black people, but there's millions who have very poor education, barely any vocabulary, and literally do not be knowin how to speak dat English.

There is no cabal of white people preventing black people from learning anything. You can watch TV and learn how to speak English.

Humans are animals and some animals are better at some things than others.

It's the beavers and puppies thing.

I don't respect naive people.

I haven't worked with white people only black people since 1998.

I organized a massive effort to get books for schools in Philly, and what have you done?

What I've said is true.

You don't see many if any Asians involved in football, basketball, wrestling, etc.

One of the top sports in Asia is badminton.

Asians are not the kind of animal that is going to be able to play games with other giant animals of a different type.

Thinking you're "nice" because you're stupid and naive is not nice.

It's just isolated and stupid.

I think Christina uses this place to vent like we all do.

But there is nothing racist about this thread. Christina is lowering the boom on white racism. She's asking about oppressive impositions by whites on blacks and Asians.

I'm trying to understand how that's racist? It's anti-racist.

There are people who do not know her or what her interest in nationality is.
I'm not saying she is racist. I agree that there is nothing racist about this thread, and I think you know this, but everything is a debate with you.
All I'm saying is since she has moved to Ohio, she has said numerous times that it's a black community… Always about there being black people.
If she constantly makes that point there, people may think she has something against them when she makes that distinction.
Is that clear enough, or have I somehow offended you?

Yeah, it might get you in a fight if you talk race and politics on the street. But here? This is a message board and that's what we do.

You seem to be saying that she shouldn't talk about topics here which concern her. She is Asian-American as you know.

You would be better off bashing your head against a brick wall.

FWIW I think she probably IS a racist.

Re: Do you think Blacks or more suppressed or Asians, by Whites?

Thank you! It isn't so hard to understand, considering the fact that I attempted to explain it to him.
I would assume that most people could understand what I was saying.

Personally, I think that he is just taking a position… or bored!
I plan to never talk to Christina. Apparently, I do it all wrong. I haven't the sensitivity and the understanding that he possesses.

FWIW I think she probably IS a racist.

I get the feeling that she has been around enough people who made her and possibly her mother, feel inferior in some way. Somebody certainly talked enough about it in front of her. It's one of her favorite subjects, but we aren't professionals. Perhaps we should consult with what's his name!
