I'm not racist but there are certain stereotypes I'm smart enough not to ignore.

-If I see a black man with Lakers gear on I'm gonna assume he's a Cowboys/Yankees fan also

-If I see a black quarterback I'm gonna assume he's going to run the ball instead of pass it accurately

-If I see black people in groups I'm gonna assume they're loud

etc

All races have their own ideosyncrasies that make them subject to being stereotyped.

But BY FAR, the race that goes the most out of the way to fuck things up and impose themselves on the rest of the U.S. population are the blacks.

I have never disliked a person with great character based on their color. I think all men are created equal.. but that doesn't mean all men act equal.

That being said, I have had a huge problem with the way a lot of black people act here in the South. I think a lot of the problems stem from this cultural belief many of them have that they are all owed something.

Proof that i'm not racist: I've always been a Trill Clinton fan.

No, the Obama comment was a joke. It's why I started by next paragraph, "but seriously".

I think originally the sagging pants thing started off as a fad. But it wasn't until they realzied how offensive whites percieved it to be that it really exploded. And having big ass hair didn't mean I had to see their fucking underwear or see them walk around with one hand on their genitals.

http://www.news.cornell.edu/chronicle/99/4.8.99/poverty_study.htmlStudy: Poverty touches 91% of African Americans during adult years

By Blaine P. Friedlander Jr.

The great majority of African Americans experience poverty during adulthood, Cornell and Washington University researchers report. Their startling new findings show that nine out of every 10 black Americans, or 91 percent, who reach the age of 75 spend at least one of their adult years in poverty.
This compares with the study's equally startling findings that "on average 60 percent of all American adults will experience at least one year of living below the poverty line, whereas one third will experience dire poverty." However, the statistics on black American poverty contrast sharply with the findings that by age 75, slightly more than half (52.6 percent) of white Americans will have spent one of their adult years below the poverty line, very close to results the researchers expected. Age 75 is the average American life expectancy.
"When we began this research, we didn't know how the numbers would turn out," said Thomas A. Hirschl, Cornell professor of rural sociology. He and his collaborator, Professor Mark Rank of Washington University in St. Louis, will publish their report, "The Likelihood of Poverty Across the American Lifespan," in the May issue of the journal Social Work. The study represents the first time that such figures have been calculated within the social and behavioral sciences.
The study says it portrays poverty as a mainstream problem and not merely as an affliction of the underclass. Although the official poverty rate during the 25-year period studied ranged from 11 percent to 15 percent, the percentage of Americans falling into poverty at some point in their adults lives was actually much greater.
The study was based on a nationally representative data sample of 4,800 households and 18,000 individuals, gathered by the Panel Study of Income Dynamics at the University of Michigan. "The fact that one of two white Americans is eventually touched by poverty is a sizable percentage indeed," according to the report. "Nevertheless, it pales in comparison to the enormity of poverty's grasp within the black population."
By the age of 25, the findings show, about 48.1 percent of black Americans will have experienced at least one year in poverty. By age 40, the number grows to two-thirds and to more than three-fourths by age 50. More than 90 percent will have lived below the poverty line by age 75.
The researchers say that by age 28, the black population will have reached the cumulative level of lifetime poverty that the white population arrives at by age 75. "In other words, blacks have experienced in nine years the same risk of poverty that whites [experience] in 56 years," the report stated.
Poverty is defined by the federal government as a family of four with an annual income of about $16,000 or less, for example. (The latest available figure, from 1997, is $16,276 for a family of four people, which includes two children.) Dire poverty is defined by the government as a family with income one-half that of the poverty level. The figures for single individuals are proportionally adjusted for these amounts.
By age 30, according to the report, one-third of black Americans will have spent at least one year of their adult life in dire poverty, rising to about 50 percent by age 45 and more than 66 percent by age 75. In contrast, only 26.6 percent of white Americans will have lived at the dire-poverty level by the age of 75.
"The fact that virtually every [black] American will experience poverty at some point during their adulthood speaks volumes as to the economic meaning of being black in America," noted the report.
The usefulness of the report, Hirschl said, is the hope "that social workers continue to work to ameliorate the conditions that poverty makes, but we also hope to provide rationale for social workers getting involved in poverty policy. Among the industrialized nations of the world, the United States has the least-effective policy for fighting poverty."
The research was partially funded by a grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Cornell's New York State Agricultural Experiment Station in Ithaca and federal Hatch funding.

If you wanna call a spade a spade (no racist), the most overtly racist individuals of the last several years have been Al Sharpton and Louis Farrakhan.

I disagree with Farrakhan's ideology pretty vehemently, and therefore make zero apologies for the man, but that's a pretty difficult thing to measure, wouldn't you agree?

But she said there are two doors, one is for people with prejudice and the other is for those without. She asked us which one we would go in..the majority of us said 'not prejudice.' Then she said, 'Bitch...the not prejudice door is locked. Whatcha gonna do now?'

Cultures and races of people in general are very different. Some of those differences are viewed as positive and some negative. Attitudes and views on women, children, marriage, etc... can vary widely among different cultures. Pretending like certain cultures and races don't have their negative qualities is ignorant. It's also ignorant to think that every person of a certain race or culture will behave a certain way, but that doesn't mean broad generalizations won't be true over a large sample size.

I hear a lot of stupid shit on a daily basis, but I don't believe and/or agree with all of it.

Incidentally, I don't think there's much of a connection at all between racist thought and refinement or progressiveness. There are countless examples today, as there have been throughout history, of people who pride themselves on possessing the latter two characteristics while exhibiting the former. But, that's okay. You can continue to dismiss my anti-racism as snobbishness if it makes you feel better.

Please don't flatter yourself. There aren't any thoughts associated with you that I could have that would make me feel better. If I dismissed your "anti-racism" as pompousness, it's because that's the impression you regularly give.

I have never disliked a person with great character based on their color. I think all men are created equal.. but that doesn't mean all men act equal.

That being said, I have had a huge problem with the way a lot of black people act here in the South. I think a lot of the problems stem from this cultural belief many of them have that they are all owed something.

Proof that i'm not racist: I've always been a Trill Clinton fan.


Yeah, black people aren't justified in any complaint. That whole deal with centuries of free labor while the white man stole Native American territory isn't a basis for anything. It doesn't matter that black families were separated, murdered and punished for simply reading for generation after generation.
That financial aid /scholarship to college and the NBA, NFL should fix things, oh wait, no white trash will complain about that too.

We should all be equal at this point, duh! That's in the past, you know..like 50 yrs ago

We could do an experiment.
take some white children and orphan them, enslave them, torture them generation after generation and they'd be equal too I bet too right? Just look at how fast Britney Spears and Charlie Sheen recover from little hiccups in their life right?
