No, just STOP what you're doing.



What are WE doing?


You can nit pick and point out one or two incidents, but then I can also say that all blacks are crackheads. You wouldn't like that now would you.
 
Who said anything about white people paying for their sins??

First and foremost i take offense to the outright stupidity you are throwing at me.

nowhere in my post does it say you will pay for your sins or you should...im not a catholic nor a christian or muslim so i dont act like God will rain fire upon you or whatever race you represent for the crimes or blah blah blah

my whole point was....


You CANNOT minimize the effects of the Slave Trade on the New World...as well as the other cultures that were subjugated with the same system and methods that were all spawned by that movement moment etc....Nor can you compare it to the Holocaust which was for the most part a localized atrocity.

Its effects were not part of a systemic global movement...at least it did not reach globally the way people portray it.

I do however hold my ground about Israel because for the most part the majority of people in Israel were not originally from the middle east (minus the palestinians) and yearly tens of thousands of people come from all over the span of Europe from Germany to Russia to migrate to Israel...But yes its categorizing a huge number of cultures into one group...but a culture is not a race....
But i consider Europeans to be white..that manifest the genotypes of a white person...and as well when dealing with the predominantly WHITE nation of Israel compared to the predominantly BLACK nation of Palestine you can begin to see why i might make some of the conclusions i do about Israel. Most importantly the reason why the US helped Israel out with Palestine to me was because of racial reasons. if the Jews had tried to claim Britain or Italy i do not think they would have met with so much success.

As for my esteemed poster who so correctly pointed out how come he cannot put his Italian heritage on a census form ...noting the point that White does not begin to describe him...I would love to also point out my friend that how does BLACK begin to describe one man who simply is not white in complexion???

how come there are not any markings on census forms for Mandingo ..Ashanti..Dinka etc on the census forms for black people...all black people do not look alike neither do Italians...that is because we are brilliantly different in our appearances. The Italians can credit this to the Moors who once ruled over Italy.
And yet in consideration of what i see as the abstract and simplest way to regard things..the same can be said for Jews ... meaning they have no genotype or appearance that we consider by default except that of a bearded white man with a yarmulke on his head and oh yes the stereotypical big nose.

Hmm but these characteristics can be found all over Europe in different countries manifested by people that are FAR from what we might call Jewish... Which is why i only consider Judaism a religion...somewhere somebody turned this into a race which is absolute garbage because why do we only think of white people when we say the word Jew?

Me I see beautiful dark skinned Ethopian people walking around with the Ark of the Covenant ... which is something you could catch watching National Geographic or the Discovery channel...

Where in this have i mentioned that the white man must pay??? I am simply saying that this racist country we live in is truly more about helping people that looked like its preverbial founders...white men..all over the globe etc etc...yes we hate the french but when its time to count the money up again we'll love them in the morning

As for you mentioning Wu-Tang Clan.

Do your research on them

They are not NOI

They are (only some of them NGE or Nation of Gods and Earths)

If you read up on the NGE...it is open to ALL races

yes we have called CERTAIN white people DEVILS...but tell me to my face that Hitler was NOT A DEVIL...tell me David Duke was NOT A DEVIl
John Wayne Gacy was NOT A DEVIL...David Koresh was NOT A DEVIl...Jim Jones was NOT A DEVIL

I have yet to think that all white men or women are Devils...but i have met quite a few in my personal time..

And our members who are white have no problem with this and they are proud to be white men... They have seen the evil that black men do too and they are not afraid to call a black man a SNAKE which is as bad as calling the white man a devil if he so deserves it.

As for Wu-Tang being racist...i own every one of their albums and if you dont know the angle they come from of course one might assume as a white person that they are talking about you...

BUT IM STILL WAITING for the song that all these so called victims of reverse hip hop racism have listened to by the Wu Tang clan that talks about THE WHITE MANS THE DEVIL KILL HIM KILL HIM KILL HIM...

what song what track? Which artist??

Either way you havent had a goddamn thing to say about me totally shitting on this assumption that the Holocaust was NOT as bad as Slavery i appreciate the cross talk but im beyond offended right now that someone is trying to make a statement about me by saying that i have nothing to reference as a point of turning in history compared to the Jews....what hog wash...if i still lived in a bubble like a good deal of people seem to think when it comes to the holocaust which is well on its way to becoming one hundred years old soon...then i might go pick me some cotton to commemorate my slavery times wit massas house...or break my fuckin shackles and strangle some random overseer and start a slave rebellion.

Whatever i dont live in the past...and to be honest with you Eminem calling someone a nigger doesnt bother me as much as a black person calling another black person a nigger....because at least Eminem knew what he was doing when he said that shit so now he can apologize for it.

We on the other hand think that nothing is wrong by saying that...so its just our word now...what bullshit..

I believe thats why Eminem is not out there looking for shit loads of white rappers to sign hes trying to make amends by contributing...yes 50 cent is not the next Marcus Garvey or MLK...but that doesnt mean that hes not giving someone the foundation to sign that next person and he knows that as a white man as a human being he is the start of it. As for Malcom X...unless you truly loved everything that he stood for good or bad dont mention his name ...dont try to be the educated down to earth all around middle america guy and mention Malcom X...because even though he said things that he regretted he also meant the majority of it.

Only when it suits you do you think he was a great man. I think he was great when he called white people devils and when he did not call them devils because there was to his speeches than YOU.

If you bothered to actually digest the actual speeches that he orated which are IN PRINT...you would see that the reason he died is not because he stopped calling white people devils.

Its because he was going to take the USA to world court at the UN for human rights violations against black people. I have met so many house slaves who are appalled that he would actuallly do this..you know quoting USA is the greatest place on the earth why would he do that we the best country in the world blah blah blah unity unity unity ...yes whatever my house slavery brotha..excuse me while i break my chains and get free so you can pick these tobacco leaves..cuz America is only great for AMERICANS IE (WHITE PEOPLE)

malcolm wanted to make a separate state within USA for Black people just like how the Native Americans had.

THATS WHY HE WAS MURDERED...
dont think for a second it was because he became MLK the sequel.

MLK was misdirection at its best.

Thurgood Marshall is the man i respect when it comes to change.

What lasting changes has MLK made except holidays and street names and schools and becoming a Martyr?

What about Medger Evers? Where are his schools his streets his holidays?

I deal with reality.. Malcolm X opened SCHOOLS and temples all over this country.

he didnt stand and let no white man be him down for his beliefs nor did he lead any of his brothers into the fists of hatred..
Yes Ghandi helped free India

but even Ghandi is quoted about violence being necessary...and truth be told those swords and guns helped free India ALOT more than some non violent marching thru the streets. yes it drew attention but what really got the brits attention was those angry Indians in the streets with automatic rifles and swords about to fuck shit up.

And to drive something home a little further.

Ghandi was SUCCESSFUL...him dying was pointless...his movement had won. If he died before the british withdrew from india that wasnt going to stop the Indians from rebelling.

how far was Martin trying to take us?? I dont think it was to the top of the capitol building rifle in hand and putting up red black and green flags everywhere.

So lets be real...

Martin wanted white folks to treat us nicer

Malcolm wanted us to have our own shit so it didnt matter if white people wanted to be dickheads to black people which would you want?



like i said the Jews have Israel i would rather have my own shit too.

POINT BLANK

I would love for any intelligent black man to please converse with me on this topic cuz im really curious about this sentiment of ass kissing that still slithers its way through our circles. America is great for Americans...im still waiting to become one to be honest with you cuz i sure as hell dont feel like one. How can we be treated like visitors in the country that we helped build??

Well lets just get this out in the open

Do you invite the bricklayer that helped build your house over to dinner??

Do you see him on the streets and make sure he's having a nice day??

Ok then thats what we are the brick layer stop bitching about we built this country and get our own shit just cuz you built something obviously dont mean its yours...sheesh

First of all,you fucking hatemonger,I was talking about the sins of fore-fathers,not sin in the eyes of fictitious Gods.
So, you think blacks should have things that are exclusively thier

this one?You should love this guy:

You didn't do jack shit for this country but bitch and moan. You grandparents and theirs before them might have done something but you ain't done shit. SHUT THE FUCK UP. The world doesn't owe you anything. You ever looked up the "n" word in the white mans dictionary? Well the word was around before there was slavery. Know hat it means? It mean an uninteligent person. :eek: Hey, your an uninteligent person illcov..............:D
 
I have a nice web page for you to look at too

Hmm the more i pound on the pillars that hold up your ivory tower the more i see the horns protruding from your forehead...

Are you nicely trying to call me a nigger? Without actually saying it?

Wheres your balls wheres your white pride...I am proud to be what i am...i am not afraid to call a devil a devil or a white man a white man...

you on the other hand are trying to disseminate this self serving idea that you are far from racist and yet whenever anyone who is pro black but anti establishment comes about you act like you have a white hood hanging above your lap top

So stop frontin are you Remy or what??


Anyways heres the link

Its about my main man Marcus Garvey

http://www.nhc.rtp.nc.us:8080/tserve/twenty/tkeyinfo/garvey.htm

Im sure you'll have plenty of nice things to say about him and his dealings with the KKK...but i would love to know how many of you so called revolutionaries would meet the devil and not be afraid??

He was about Africa for the Africans and many other principles that the NOI, the Black Panthers, the NGE, even the Young Lords manifest...comparing me to a outright CRACKER is far from offensive to me because im not the jackass who was in front of the school that i helped fund because i didnt want darkies attending it.

I simply want Black people to have their own.

Its funny how you call me a racist for desiring that and yet America is yours...this is similar to two children playing in a sandbox.

One child - X(privileged and under-privileged ruling majority or in this case White folks) owns all the toys in the sandbox and is happy go lucky while he plays with child - Y (privileged and under-privileged minority class or non - whites).

Child Y gets tired of playing with the same BORROWED toys and says to Child X i wanna get my own toys so i dont always have to come to the sand box just so i can play. I could play at home when it rains too and we could still play together but we could have even more fun cuz then we would have more toys to play with...maybe ill get something thats different from yours so we can mix and match!

Child X replies: NO WAY! YOUR A POTTY MOUTH! YOUR BAD! WHY DONT YOU WANNA JUST BORROW MY TOYS AND BE MY FRIEND FOR LIFE!

Child Y replies: But i dont have any toys of my own. Whenever you leave your toys leave...if you dont let me play with your toys i cant have any fun. What happens if you get sick and then you dont come to the sand box? Ill have to wait till you get better before i can play again.

Child X replies: whats wrong with that?

Child Y replies: Whats wrong with me wanting my own toys?

Child X: WAH WAH WAH!

Now Black people like myself are child Y....Outlaws and these other characters are Child X.

You all are acting like a bunch of spoiled brats... i cant even really call you simply racist because you have no established ideaology or fortitude to describe why you feel what you feel..

I cant respect talking heads but i hear your voice i just wish the noises you made formed some kind of language i could understand so i could help you.

To me it seems more like a John Walker Lindh kind of situation more than anything. He pretended to be Black on Chat rooms before he joined the Taliban...And actually spoke out on the bullshit that black people have to deal with in America.

My question that i glean out of that is

How could some white kid from middle america know so much...albeit his circumstances where a little weird...how could John Walker Lindh so accurately NAIL...the situation that Black people in America have when he himself never went thru it?

Is there so much propaganda on tv that shows that black people are really struggling?

Have you stopped and considered that unless you watch Dateline NBC...or UPN you wont see if things are improving or deteriorating in America for Blacks??

Its almost like we went off the radar except for negative things
IE Beltway Sniper, Michael Jackson.

Anyways...read the article its pretty informative

peace

If anyone says anything positive about whites then we are racist. You want to talk about oppression, thats it right there. I can't be "proud to be white" because that means I must hate minorities.


America is not mine, it is everyones, and you can have your piece as soon as you stop bullshiting about stupid non-exsistant issues and just be normal. Exagerated hiphop dressing is not going to get a respectable business to hire you or anyone. And they shouldn't. If you don't want to understand that the business world works like that then you or anyone else does not deserve to be involved in it. If you don't want to be involved then that is fine, but don't complain that the "black man" can't get no jobs because there are plenty of jobs available but the "black man" doesn't want to stay in school and the "black man" doesn't want to take off the stupid ForUsByUs type clothing. You want to wear that BlackKKK bullshit then fine, but go buy a suit...and not some FluffyPink OutKast type suit either.

There are plenty of openings in America for everyone. There are plenty of jobs. Look how many people come here every single year. If you want to leave then fine, but don't act like you never should have been brought over here because neither you or I can change the past, look forward, go back to school, or get a side job if the music industry isn't paying enough because if you are broke and your job is in the music industry then welcome to the club, believe me, its not a race thing.
 
Finally SOME TRUTH!!!

Dress like a dork = get a job.
Dress with some flavor = get an unemployment check.

No wonder I couldn't get it right.

It was just too simple for me to peep on my own <sigh>...

Illa [/B]

You know, the more i think about all these issues, the more I see that almost everyone is racist, although it's not everyone that's doing flagrant negative stuff. But still, it hurts. I'll explain wit an example.

I don't what y'all skin color is or how it is where u from but have you noticed something something strange about people who are like "oh I'm no racist" but when their best buddy gets a girl (lets say hes white, black chick) wit different skin color they actin like it's all special and and cute but not normal.

How many times in the last week have you seen a black/white couple in an ad on tv? how bout in a movie? Or even better, a soap? Don't you think it's fucked up that all characters in....days of our lives for example date only black characters if they're black and white if they're white. (and no i dont watch soaps)
But especially the ads.

I don't watch tv all day long but i can tell you the only times on tv I saw a black/white couple was in The Simpsons and that dont count cuz it's unarguably the best program in american TV history.

Have you ever wondered why? Cuz if some redneck sees that the couple in your ad was a inter-race disgrace, he gon boycott you. and companies want the money so the're not gonna do that. Instead, they'll show black/black and white/white couples to show that even tough black and white live together, there is no danger for the purity of the blood AND the minorities are represented. So there you go. A nice little apartheid for y'all asses. No we're not racist but some people are and we prefer to live by their standards not to upset them.

20 million afro-cans in the US plus 2.x million indians for only 2% of inter-race weddings.

But i don't think people realize. See, it's not cuz you're not bashin another race that you're not racist. You're not racist if you consider the personnality of the person in front of you before it's skin color and ethnical background.

I lived the first 15 years of my life in a place where there were only 10-15 black people in a city of 125,000 people. You can't imagine how many times I heard "look, this is a black man!" and I really was the first black kid they had seen their whole life! Usually people were very friendly cuz racism and violence are very badly regarded upon in Canada. but sometimes people were being kinda racist without knowing. So many times people were asking me if all blacks really had a big dick and all sorts of crazy stuff.
One time a chick told me to be friendly:" hey i dont understand racist people, it's not your fault if you're black!" and i was like damn! It it really a fault? Where the fuck do you see a fault?

I'll tell you. The fault is being different. Wether you too poor, or too rich, or too black, or too white, or too ugly, or too beautiful.

And we been livin this way for so long sometimes I wonder if we are going to be able to get free from these chains that are now less visible but still present in our lives.

We used to have racism.

Now we have a polite, clean racism.
 
OBCD,

I never really noticed it but you are right, there are not that many nter-racial releationships on the television, but I don't think there are that many "rednecks" to boycotted it because that would have happend to the mass influx of gay television. Look how many gay programs are on TV right now. Every single show has a gay character and there is no massive boycott to get them off the tele. And while I am not black, I think it is safe to say that gays are hated more than blacks. :) I mean look at it, there are a lot of white people who hate gays, but there are a lot of blacks who are also completely disgusted by it.



And no matter what anyone has taken away from all my posts, I LOVE brown sugar...and not the shit you bake with.
 
If only that was true

Remember most people are not going to be able to tell a person's sexuality by looking at them but they damn sure know if they are white or black or any other appearance.

Yes Gays have definately been the subject of oppression, hate crimes, discrimination and murder...but as many people have attested to..homosexuality can be hidden, cloaked, disguised or suppressed appearance and behavior wise to fit in.

However, if you are a person of any kind of brown or yellow complexion and you pretend to act white or UN GHETTO whatever you want to call it...

guess what you are still Not white.

And the white people you are trying to fit in with...are going to gouge their eyes out so that they can ignore your appearance totally.

Yes they may be those special people we all love and adore who can ignore your appearance and judge you in the good boy scouts of america way we all wish for but those people are gems...hard to come by and in my opinion an exception to the rule not the norm.

Howver Outlaws...by whose standards are you judging the actions of black men who say they cant get employment?

Fine if suits must be worn then suits must be worn i own 6 of them as well as 2 blazers and a 200 dollar pair of Italian dress shoes. Last time i checked i was still a "nigga" when i put that suit on. So realistically speaking thats the ideaology im facing when i go for these job interviews...face freshly shaven...hair neatly done..skin splashed with Clinique Happy for Men, wearing a nice 1000 dollar Movado watch and my Italian shoes...all to mix with my caramel colored skin..my raven black hair and large "protruding" nose, full lips, big hazel eyes and 6 foot 180 pound frame...somehow they just dont buy into your concept that he's got on a suit he's one of the good black guys.

In reality they still see dre from outkast...cant tell you why maybe its not the outfits...but what i really love is how you keep throwing in these examples that you obviously feel you have some right to be talking about when it comes to black people because for some reason whenever you mention we should stop bitchin or talking about our situation you keep bringing up these examples you obviously hold in a negative light.

Like Outkast...im glad you watch television

perhaps you missed Marilyn Manson or my personal favorite your cousin Kid Rock...why wont somebody tell him to stop dressing like trailor park trash and get a suit?

Oh i get it because you're saying that white people dont complain about shit that black people do..
white people just go and work their hardest and they get jobs because they are hard workers...

its really odd though that the majority of them are getting rewarded by their own race...
and yet black men..who under normal circumstances get 2 to 3 jobs just to make ENDS MEET are frequently first laid off, usually non union workers, and work without benefits.

Wheres their rewards or their recognition of hard work?

I just love this naive reasoning you have about minorities that we are just a bunch of complainers who never really tried to do anything about our situation.

But the sad part is...THAT is a racist ideaology.

YES it is....all we do is complain?? How can you honestly say that we have no right to, when you yourself already think we dont deserve what we get because we havent worked for it. So all of us are in a welfare mentality?? is it my correct observation then...that if you were my boss... and i came into your employ and did only what i was expected to do...but i did it CONSISTENTLY and constantly...that you would look upon me as a slacker?? You seeing as how this is an opportunity for myself to further my race by being a trailblazer and busting my ass to go the extra mile.

Meanwhile my white colleagues who do only whats necessary would see more raises and recognition because they do a good job...but im the dickhead because i wont show you im willing to do more than them..

Why is this concept discriminatory??
Because me bening black has nothing to do with how hard i should or shouldnt work for you. if im doing the SAME job as other people but im not a trailblazer then thats my choice... but i should still see the same rewards as my colleagues...because we all have the same goals and its a team i work on.

This basic principle is what most blacks face in predominantly white college environments.

We get into school...of course through affirmative action a 1200 never meant shit on your SATS...or having a 3.2 in highschool...and when you get to college if you arent the best black man or woman that ever graced that teachers (white teacher or black teacher) class room your grades will never soar. You will never see commendations you must be the best of the best of the best...because you either really shouldnt be in college or you should be a shining example for your racial brothers and sisters.

Which is absolute bullshit. People do what they wanna do regardless of who they are...racially or personally. Therefore im not responsible for being an example just to make some liberal happy that they arent part of the Mans establishment.

in all reality all black people have been asking for is a fair shot since day one.

Racists would think that we have it..however they have NO way of guaging the situation since they're not in our shoes....Liberals think they have an idea of what the situation is..but they have limits as to how high minorities should advance be we may actually overshoot them....so they do things with reservations and to me that makes them more Racist than the average racist cuz they are literally in a position to help others but they CHOOSE to hold them back.

So when Outlaws makes his posts i respect him for typing back but his responses are cut down by their own sarcasm and basic racial intolerance.

You may love brown sugar...but so did the Slave holders...how do you think there came to be such a thing as "light-skinned" black women or men? Before Alicia Keys parents had her...60 years earlier...the only reason there women that looked like her was because of rape and molestation....so unless you can clarify why you think you liking black women makes you ok and un racist you havent proven shit to me...cuz by the same terminology i could throw in oh i dont hate white people...i love vanilla and i aint talking the kind you cook with.

Oh so you'll fuck a black woman but you cant understand her brother's situation.

It makes perfect sense to me...you have no interest in the black race...just its pussy.. thats pretty shallow when you consider it. I mean i took my time out to learn about my really distant cousins the Sicialians and i never even kissed a Sicilian girl before. Much less held hands with one or even danced with one...but i know about their history..like their actual documented history.


OH YEAH almost forgot whoever said that the Jews had it bad in the Holocaust numbers wise need to read up on the slave trade.

I gotta get the name of this book that my man quoted for me but you ready for this..

over 300 MILLION people died as a result of the African Slave trade, this would include the indigenous peoples of the Caribbean as well as the Africans who died as a result of the journey.

Care to duel?

I am done reading these long ass post illacov. You are what you are, "Last time i checked i was still a "nigga" when i put that suit on." Then thats great. Its not my problem. There are a lot of other blacks in this world who may or may not feel that way. If you wear a suit I have a lot more respect for you than someone who is 150-180 lbs where a 4x jersey with a baseball cap perfectly crooked.
 
"Its not my problem" = THEN YOU ARE THE PROBLEM.

That's too bad, Outlaws.
Underneath my "perfectly crooked" brim is a real live-assed motherfucker. Your loss...

i ain't trying to threaten you, so don't take it as such, but you run that flap in the company of a few cats who aren't willing to be as verbose as some on this BBS and they might have your ass hollering "Toby."

That's pretty fucked up what you said, but you seem to do that alot. Go ahead, tell me to fuck off, it's all good. You don't "respect" me anyway, right? Just cause my clothes equate to something grungy instead of something golden to you.

You've proabaly gleaned more from these threads in the last week or two than in your entire existence on the planet.:rolleyes:

Not True! Not True! LOL! You havent been hanging with the right people! Go to any college campus around the nation and blacks and whites are partying togather likes its nothing! The only thing that still bothers me is most black people call eacotehr nigga, and if tehy good frinds with you, a white guy, tehy call you ma niiga too, but you cant say it back. Its reinforcing the color, when its about the sentiment. Follow? Same with BET for obvious reasons. I guess thats for the future though. Other than small things like that everythings mostly cool now with the (educated) youth. Ive come to accept that we live in trying times and balck people are still seeing the effects from racism from the past. And i feel for that.
 
"Its not my problem" = THEN YOU ARE THE PROBLEM. "

Thats not cool. People dont want problems if they arent causing them. Thats what alot of the friction is about. Guilt. People dont want to feel guilty for something they didnt do. I think thats Outlaws motivation. "Its" not his problem. But 'It" has gotten complicated now. With all the word weaving it can be easy to misunderstand what "IT" was in the first place. That Iliavac experiences what he thinks is job descrimnaiton? That when he puts on a suit he is still a black man?! If their was a more positive outlook, that being a black man isnt a problem, it is a gift, then there wouldnt be any blame to throw around. But it comes from the source.

As far a job descrimination.....is this true? Is this really true? Its easy to be bitter about not getting something you want, Ive seen alot of people in a lot of different situations project their discontent on the easiest target. I think there is discrimination going on in at least small amounts, mostly by older white grandpas. Id agree that those guys may do some, but a small portion of them. And in relation to the hiring population as a whole? Im willing to see some alternate truths here, but I think the simple fact is that people in hiring posistions DO NOT LOOK AT RACE AS A FACTOR AT ALL when choosing. They look at the degrees. The college attented. The community service. The test scores. Its as simple as that. Cause most people of this generation are not racist, and they sure as hell do not have superiors at thier company telling them to hire according to race! That doesnt happen! LOL its illegal and people dont want to do it anyways! This is the atmosphere of most businesses I pretty strongly believe at this point. Now If you had some kind of studies showing equally qaulified black males got hired less Id be very interested to see them. But I just dont think, in 90 % of the cases thats true anymore. Its just not the mindset.


Im trying to see where your coming from about black people at colleges getting less credit, but man i cant even go half way with you here. Where are you getting these ideas man?! You think professors change they way they grade depending on color? Are you mentally insane! cmon do you really expect me to belive that on a wide scale college professors are giving minority students lower grades?! This is almost as far fetched as an X Files episode! Most professors are normal people like anyone else and are not racist. Especially professors, beacuse theyll be a little more educated and enlightened than your average person. Not that it matters, but most professors at universites dont know their students personally anyways and wouldnt know their race....You must really believe that alot more people are racist than is really the truth my friend. Cause its not as bad as you think. True theres still some wreckage leftover from slavery that we all have to try and heal, but I think most of it is mental, not economic. I said MOST. Urban schools still need to be revamped along with some realted issues, but past that, i think things really have rapidly opened up for the black man. Now they get to enjoy the dissapointment of failing on their own merits like white people. ;)
 
Ok assumptions and i fail to believes aside

College professors are normal people...the majority of college professors are normal white people.. This is not a falsehood.

In my experiences as a Bachelors degree holding Hispanic or Black or just not white male...i have had my fill of experiences with how college professors grade and if you ask around you might find out im not a talking head but a victim.

Black people have something to prove.

How far fetched is that to prove in a society that is so hell bent on affirmative action being rescinded that they still only cling to same cliched statements??

People that dont deserve this or that because of their grades or experience.

Ok lets call you on your quota right now man

What makes you think i wasnt qualified??

What makes you think i never did community service?

WHat makes you think i never went to college or
when i was in highschool make achievements that still look good 8 years later??


You want tit for tat?

These are my academic accomplishments as a student.

With no color...its the part about them seeing a 6 foot 180 lb brownskinned man in a suit that seems to sway them away from utilizing me.

My work experience is on the same level as academics...saving companies hundreds of thousands of dollars in book keeping errors and streamlining their data operations.

No i never worked at a gas station or a mcdonalds...so dont get all funky on me.

But im not kidding myself a positive outlook is knowing you're the nigga in a suit. That means you know what your odds are.

Not knowing is suicide.

BTW interesting anecdote. I met this kid who drove cabs part time in Jersey who explained to me his little life story.

Apparently he could never score high grades in college when it came to term papers...he was doing college level work in high school..you know getting college credit for what he did and he got A's in highschool

SO anyways he didnt see this kind of grading going on in highschool and he knew he wrote good papers.

So he gave his roommate who happened to be in the same class as him ...his paper that he wrote and he took the paper his room mate wrote.

His roomie was white and of course the kid im talking about was african american..

Well strangely his roommate got an A on the paper he didnt write whilst the black guy got a gentlemans C.

He confronted the professor about his interesting grading methods and was expelled from Rutgers when he learned that he hadnt wrote the paper he handed in.

Strangely the white roomie was not expelled.

Ive read my class mates papers before and it makes no sense how they get A's. The same principles that get you a C will get ignored so that they get an A.

Interesting huh??

however i fail to believe any of you naive Americans will believe it.

Peace

When you want to believe something youll bend the truth any way you can to see it that way. I think thats waht your doing considering all you seem to be focusing on is the discrimination. I believe your right that could have happened with the college paper. Im sure its happened before. But, your paranoid if you think more than a minute percentage of professors do that, and that those cases arent diminishing rapidly. Im pretty in touch with the white community, i know alot of prfessors as well as other middle aged people. Im not naive. Race is a non issue among whites. Racism is against the popular belief and is very taboo in ANY kind of social situation. So most professors are white? Does that mean you think most white people are racist? Thats just sad man. What intrigues me about you is that when you dont know for sure what the cause is you seem to go to racism first. Ok you have achievements, I never said you didnt. Ive had achivements too. I had a 3.9 GPA on a 4.0 for one thing. There are loads of jobs Ive applied for and didnt land them. Do you really know you were the most qualified for the jobs you applied for? You probally didnt even know the resumes of the other applicants did you? But you still come to a conclusion that racism was the cause huh? That makes some questions for me.

Maybe the interviewer could tell in you personality that you were always scanning white people for doing something wrong, and that was the only reason you didnt get the job. That would be ironic.
