Remember the "Stop Black on Black Crime" bumber stickers?

no problem

That IS the problem!

The elite have always made those decisions & doled out tokens. You must then be for more equal income and less class divide?

I have no problem with your statement, TPT however seized on it as a way to denigrate the problems you mentioned.

IMO, it's NOT "wrong, blind, or stupid"..........but Shino and I are Americans......non-white Americans......who's past family members, loved ones, their cultures RIPPED and STRIPPED of ALL and ANY human decency they had! This evil practiced caused MAJOR deadly, devastating long suffering and lasting horrific damage effects to human beings who not only DIDN'T deserve it, but bared this evil brought on through NO fault of their own up until this very day! You do realize, that freeing black slaves, and continued OPPRESSION of these races.....did in no way, make them EQUAL!!!!

How you go about changing that I just don't know, largely because I'd assume you'd need both that elite and masses to subscribe to the same thing without fear or impediment of the other.

I started typing on the income and class parts, only to find that they are possibly harder to give an immediate answer to. Quickly, yes, but that there's a few things that probably need ironing out in there too.



Okies.

I'm not entirely sure how this relates to what I've said?

Well, after considering what I know as facts about this particular topic and issue.......I believe what my most IMPORTANT point in replying to your post #60, was that this country of mine.....has some Americans here with a deep deep seeded hatefulness INGRAINED in their PATHETIC physic e that seems, at least to some, that due to some of our founders ruthless racist and evil practices against INNOCENT human races...has NOT faded over all the years!

So you did read the other posts I made before that?

Yes, I believe I have, but just to be clear.....I will now go back and re-read them. Is there any one in particular you want me to read, or just all of them? Thanks!

Not anything in particular really, just that there was a general theme I was going with that might've got lost if you come in part way through or the like

Ok then, so we're good right?

The good 'ol boy network doesn't justify affirmative action. The objective is to abolish them both. If minorities want lasting improvement, they should fight against the GOBs not for AA.




His main problem is that I said it, therefore there can't possibly anything right about it.




I thought AA was the right thing to do when it first started, but it turns out only to be counterproductive and continues racial hatred. When I realized what was going on, it hit me that it never should have been started. Like I said above fight against the good 'ol boy system not for AA.




Yes, on both sides, and it's not nearly as widespread with whites as it used to be. Your attitude screams retribution, not peace. I know it isn't fair, and its galling, but it's the only path to follow.

I find your attitude especially surprising given that you have mixed race parents.

Oh yes, and I'm sure the states and districts that voted them in thought that too. That's what they all want to do after all. Vote in a token and not someone they think will best represent them.

AA was and continues to be the right thing to do.
Just wishing away the problem of racism did not work since forever.
What would you do differently?
