Topic: Racism in America (Read 3589 times)

Obama recently said that racism is much more than just people not saying the n word in public. That is not the cure, he states. It should be felt from heart that we all are equal and belong to the same mother, and belong from the aame mother. It was the first time Obama said the n word publicly though, haha.

Good information, Without Government involvement it is not that easiest task as all think, whatever the good or stringent things to happen in the country, there must be a role of government. " Sure there are dishonest men in local government. But there are dishonest men in national government too", told by Richard Nixon.

Tptb are using the mainstream media to foment a kind of race war so that they can usurp the constitution and gain more power in the guise of "keeping us safe". They are slowly taking over our police forces just like in Baltimore.

The Blacks and the whites can never be in the same team, at least in the United States. Radical fringe groups (many of them supported by the two mainstream political parties) have been igniting the hatred between them for many years now, possibly to consolidate the vote-banks. So the issue about illegal immigration is treated as just another race problem, when it should be treated as a law and order problem instead.

You can't delete racism. It's like a cigarette. You can't stop smoking if you don't want to, and you can't stop racism if people don't want to.Racism is still with us. But it is up to us to prepare our children for what they have to meet, and, hopefully, we shall overcome.

The problem in America is not "black vs. white". The bigger problem is "US citizen vs. illegal immigrant". There are not enough jobs, and the welfare system is being overwhelmed. For the most part black and white should be on the same "team". It's not about race, it's about resources and the rule of law.

Racism is not a tv which can be switched off. It is a disease which has to be cured, it has to treated and fixed. To treat and fix something takes time. Making love is technically coitus and that will just increase the population. So what's the solution? FUCKING THE RACISM OFF?

A number of federal laws protect individuals from being discriminated against in education. This article provides links and information on the Education Amendments of 1972, the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

I didn't watch the whole video, just the first 3 minutes. That's all I needed to see. The guy did nothing wrong initially. Also police have the freedom to intervene when someone is sleeping on the subway, because subways aren't for sleeping in. Also they might have an incentive to check on people in that situation because for all they know they could have had a medical emergency and died there in their seat. Or maybe they want to see if he was a homeless person who's just sleeping on the subway with no destination.
Anyways the guy was being combative. You can be arrested for being combative even if there wasn't a crime beforehand.

Possibly, new cops just starting out as new academy grads were just assigned. Many PD officers do not live in NYC and may only go into the subway when they're on the job.

These were not MTA as both the article and the video identify them as NYPD. Plus, still frames from the video (link) show "NYPD Police" clearly printed on the back of one or more cop's jacket.
Could there be only one or two NYPD cops there and the rest MTA? Remotely possible but bloody unlikely.
The NYPD likes to assault from the protection of groups. It makes lying about their arrests more credible when you have fellow corroborators.

While its hard to argue that the NYPD isn't full of bad, sometimes vicious, corrupt asshoIes, these were MTA transit cops. They're not NYPD. There's been change at the top of the NYPD too, since we got the new mayor.

I saw this. If sleeping on the train on the way home from work is cause for arrest, the jails will be full of tired workers. The NYPD is one of the most corrupt organizations in the US. The case of Adrian Schoolcraft has proven that beyond any doubt whatsoever.

The CRA is a horrible law and contributed to the most recent financial crisis.

Malcolm X is da man! LOL

Funny thing is when racism criticising people are racist.

For example Malcolm X was studying history of blacks and he found out, that whole slave market was developed by jews. When he learned it he thought blacks that jews were owners of slaveships and hated them.

Another cool thing is when blacks hate hispanics.

Hispanics hate asians and so on...

Most racist in america is Hollywood. Hollywood is 100% jewish, so they put lot of "tolerance for minorities message" into their movies, show black people like "cool dudes"....but you know, that main hero is white, and black guy (if he doesnt die), is funny but only second! They use black people as monkyes because they can sing, dance and make funny faces....not cool.

Ok, maybe KKK is more racist

yes i realize it!

Sadly, there was nothing courageous about it--it was pure political calculation--and the last admirable Republican was Teddy Roosevelt...and before him Lincoln, Stanton and Thaddeus Stevens. Admirable folks come very few and very far apart in that party.

No, this was the easiest political calculation ever--as Johnson knew, "We have lost the south for a generation."

Dems wouldn't pick up any new votes in the north, but they would lose them in the south.

Republicans wouldn't LOSE any new votes in the north (or few enough to matter) but they would gain HORDES (barbarian hordes) of them in the south.

Let us be frank, without the CRA, which gave them the south, the Republican party would already be extinct, rather than on  the verge of falling apart as it is today. Republican ideology was proven bankrupt as early as 1929, with the onset of the Depression. It experienced a brief chance at redemption under Eisenhower, but even then, with the alliance of the Republicans to Southern Dems, in return for those Dems support on Taft-Hartley, they were already breathing their last gasp as a national party.

Without the hatreds, racism and religious extremism of the south, there would BE no Republican Party today. They saw what was happening--Americans were turning towards the Dems in droves--so realized that sometimes, unless you can divide and conquer, you yourself will die.

So that's all the GOP has done for nigh on 60 years now, stoke the fires of hatred, racism and religious extremism in the south, and the desert west areas, and in Texas, against anyone they can find.

So no, I find nothing courageous or noble in the GOP Senators FINALLY, after multiple attempts by Northern Democrats to pass CR, breaking their alliance with Southern Dems. It was pure political strategy, their last lifeline, and they grasped it for they were worth.

And America is FAR worse off as a result.

You do realize the south losing the war contributed a big part of banking system we have today?

Great question - do you think our southern friends will take it on?
