Remember the Black Panthers blocking polls in Philadelphia?

White only colleges, White college funds, minimum number of whites required to be hired at a place of work? That sounds like racism to me...

^ And could you imagine the social outrage if something like that was started?

Line him up with KKK members and such.

...but "black only" isn't? Like I said earlier in this thread, being a minority is, if anything, a benefit in life with more opportunities to get ahead being just handed to you. I knew some black kids in college who were getting scholarship checks just because they were black, it had nothing to do with their achievements, etc.

I think my sarcasm might have missed the mark abit. I see what your saying, I still cant believe when they say its so hard for minorities to get a job and feed they're families. I know people on welfare making more money than me, and they still can barely pay rent, dont have a running vehicle, and are always trying to borrow money from me. I think the days of working hard to earn your pay is going away.

It's called "Buying Votes" :KANE:

A few here are trying to muddy up this topic with off-topic BS. The simple fact here is that an extreme racist hate group is given a free ride by the government. There is an obvious imbalance here, and it's not OK because we're "getting what's coming to us". Racism has always been a mistake that most of us have learned from and moved away from, so if as a whole, we want to get rid of it all together, this kind of racist crap needs to be dealt with, not swept under the rug.

And for the 17-year olds trying to justify this blatant racism from the comfort of their parent's basement, you're not enlightening anyone here. If you had some actual real world experience to the contrary, it might be worth a listen. But repeating what you heard on MTV isn't going to sway any educated persons here.

"George Bush doesn't care about black People"
So blame it all on Bush, he get's blamed for everything else.

The reason why we still see forms of racism is because of all these radical racist groups, black and white. Along with a DOJ and a president that is playing politics with race. In everyday life of interacting with people of all color, I don't see racism like this, everybody gets along and does their own thing. And I'm from the south. Children aren't born racist, so where does it come from? You want to see racism go away, end all the one sided programs that have muddied up the waters of equality. Every man and woman stands on their own merits, period, along with being held accountable for following the laws of this country. Taking from the rich to give to the poor does not only hurt the rich, it hurts the middle class and the poor. Ever had a poor man give you a job? What really has the welfare state done to improve a family's life, it's actually hurt it in my opinion.

Here's a thought:
If I have to take a drug test to get a job where I pay taxes that go to welfare, how about the recipient of my tax dollars having taking a drug test to qualify for it?

Ask any of those Black Panthers if they would like all the programs that are in their favor go away in the name of equality for all?

What have the likes of Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton really done to help their people. They've done a great job of helping themselves to piles of money in the name of keeping racism alive.

I'm tired of hearing how slavery was unfair. I agree it was wrong, don't think you'll find a person here who would say it was right. But damn, how long ago and how many generations ago was that? As a country, we did the right thing and moved past it a long time ago.

By today's standards, people of color have it much easier to get assistance with education, housing, etc. But it's the same with every race, you'll have those who will take advantage of what they can to get ahead through a great education and hard work, while others want to sit back and complain about unfair life is.

Let's try to divide the people instead of coming together. Even the 1st Lady is getting in on it.

...says the race-exclusive group. Last I checked, at least the Tea Party has a few black members. How many whites are in the NAACP?
