So how about that Zimmerman trial? - Page 34

Racism, sexism, whateverism.

All bullshit, of course 2 people who look,act, speak, develop (mentally and physically) are going to hate eachother when they're forced to live, work, and go to school together.

I'm from a very diverse city where id feel pretty safe in assuming there is no real majority race. There's mostly blacks/whites in what seemed to be a proportionate number with a random mix of whatevet other races. Basically since gradr school all we learned about was how bad white people were "back then" and how we constantly exploited anyone for anything we could. No wonder black people hate white people, the only thing that's being taughy in suburban high schools is racism. Sure there are racist whites but I've deffinetly met more racist hispanics/blacks than anything else. I've never even felt the need to act racist in any way, let alone openly make racist remarks in public. When this happened to me as a youngster I realized how hearing such remarks can spur feelings of intense racism within you. This is when I decided to never make racist remarks, and to personally and publically embarass anyone I witnessed doing so.

I'm sure in different cities/states its very different but like I said when people are just different in many ways there seems to be a superiority factor among ones own race. For example when you are walking to your class and you see a group of obnoxiously loud, rude and annoying group of kids from a different race the first thing that comes to mind in many cases when trying to justify such behaviour to yourself is their racial identity. Its probably something that's hardwired into us and then reinforced by ultra liberal curriculums being forced down our kids throats.

The problem with all of your opinions about equality is that they universally fail to recognize systemic racism and patriarchy.

You don't see it because you're white dudes.

It is pretty weird seeing dudes say all they see through the media are stories of "white bad, black good".

I mean, have you motherfuckers never even heard of Diff'rent Strokes? Expose yourself to some culture before you sound so ignorant.

A white kid and a black kid get caught with weed independently of each other. The white kid I is going to receive a stern talking to. The cops might even tell his parents! The black kid is thrown on the ground, cuffed, and searched. He's going to be booked and spend at least one night in jail.

A white couple and a black couple are buying their first homes. The white couple will be shown more homes and better neighborhoods. The black couple will receive a higher interest rate despite having the same income and financial history as the white couple.

Neither of these are scenarios of my invention. Racism is alive and well in the US.

^ doesn't happen as often as you think

Oh I guess it's okay then. A smidgen of institutional racism never hurt nobody.

It happens often. I didn't accept either scenario as status quo until faced with statistical data. Blacks and whites use cannabis in virtually the same percentage of population, but blacks are 3.7 times more likely to be arrested for it. The FBI/UCR data is 716 of 100,000 marijuana arrests for blacks and 192 for whites. Furthermore, latinos are included in the white population. That ratio increased by almost 1/3 between 2001 and 2010.

Ever been caught with pot? I have. The cops threw my pot and pipe away and gave me a ticket for a burned out tail light and an illegal right turn on red. I went back to the dumpster later than night and retrieved my stuff.

Hey, it was a new bag.

A recent Duke University study of two million home transactions found that blacks and latinos pay an average of 3.5% more for their homes.

It happens. It happens a lot.
