If you don't like her acting that is your personal opinion.

I agree but thinking that racism doesn't exist is ignorant too.

you of course have a point brother, but i didn't say it doesn't exist.
i said the idea of racism is dead except in the minds of the ignorant.

sadly, there are many people out there that still judge based on skin color.

even more sadly, there are those that want to keep it that way so they keep their jobs of faux saviors or keep the victim mentality.


Overcome. Many with less have. What's the excuse? And sometimes people out there are just aholes to other people. But minorities will automatically think it's race motivated, which MAY, or MAY NOT, be the case...

Besides this whole King Kong thing.

There is alot more racism out there than ppl would actually like to admit.

i'll admit it. and i'll admit it on a national stage.

i'll call out the rappers that are rapping about guns, violence, drugs, bling bling and the degradation of women.

they are the true racists. keeping people down. teaching them to worship all the false . and teaching them to blame others.

Take two neighborhoods. Assume they were built at the same time, with similar-looking houses. Assume the schools are comparable. Assume the taxes are comparable. Neither has any problem with crime. The landscaping in each is kept up very nicely.

But one is populated mostly by whites while the other has a lot of minorities. The houses in the white neighborhood will be worth 10-20% more.

who cares what the houses are worth. they have the same houses, same schools, same taxes, and no crime. sounds like utopia.

it's not how you start, it's how you finish. african american people are no more inclined to violence or drugs or alchohol than white, mexican, or whatever.

that's a misconception, and a stereotype.

NOW, lack of education, and lack of strong parenting are major contributors to the violence drugs and alchohol. And that crosses ever race on the planet. But when you have predominantly african american rappers singing about ho's, guns, sex, violence, bling bling, etc. Yeah, that doesn't help. Cuz kids look to them as role models. , even i did. I still love the music, more the beats...but the words...not so much anymore. I see through all the bull now. But Kanye tries to do something about it....Bill Cosby tries to speak up about it...and people get pissed. What happened to believing in Martin Luther Kings words about being judged by the content of our character?

[SA210]

^^^ Are you saying it's ok to judge, and judge on the conent of character?

Hmmm. interesting.

look man, it's not right to judge. but people do it every day, numerous times a day. so i say? if they are gonna do it anyway, even though they shouldn't, at least do it by the content of a man or woman's character, which is seen by their actions.

it's no secret that oil is in Iraq.

oil means Saddam had resources to obtain weapons and distribute as he pleased.

thus the need to remove Saddam.

Why don't you guys find some pics of the Schools and Voting and recognize the fact that the Children of Iraq have a Brighter Future....Thanks to the decisions of George W. Bush. AND that American has two new allies in the war on terror...Afghanistan and Iraq. IN the heart of the lions den. Good stategery, if you ask me.

Democracy in those countries would strike a blow to AlQaida harder than any bomb could. Every Person on Earth should have the chance to be Free. Don't you agree?

[SA210]

We have allies? The world hates us.

[SA210]

Oh nevermind

[bigzak25]

right right. you are kidding yourself.

their is big MONEY in media. Hating Bush is en vogue. YOu guys eat it up.

The british eat it up. Other countries that got caught with their hand in the cookie jar have an interest in making America look bad.

Do the Iraqi and Afghan people have more freedom today then they did under AlQaida and Hussein control/regime?

YUP.

so who gives a damn what the world thinks. WE KNOW THE TRUTH? Right? I mean, you see what i see don't you?

And the white people are granted an additional $25,000 in equity for no reason other than being white people surrounded by other white people.

$25,000 is a lot of money, last time I checked. I imagine you'd get a lot further ahead if somebody dropped $25,000 in your lap.

So a white person looking out for the best interests of his family, armed with this knowledge, would tend to stay in a white neighborhood to get the higher property values, even if he had no particular racial preference. The discrepancy becomes self-perpetuating.

Thus the economic legacy of racism can persist for a long time after the racist at udes fade.

You are largely correct that the overtly hateful racist at udes have faded over time. But racism is not always the same thing as racial bigotry, hatred, or oppression. It can stay embedded in the system for a while.

[bigzak25]

but despite what property vaules are, if the quality of education and parenting is equal?

then the children have an equal opportunity to make their dreams come true and live whereever they want to...

fix the parenting. 1st.

then fixing the education is much simpler, as the teacher don't have to waste time being disciplinarians and can actually teach...

You have got to be kidding.

You have a point in theory. But it be hard to find an all black neighborhood and all white neighborhood with similiar crime, housing, and etc. One of the principles of real estate is that no real property is the same.

Granted, there are things such as white flight. But the same was true for jews and itallians in the early years of our country. SO racial economic equality should not be the sole blame for the ills of the african american community. I believe behavior is also a factor. Wether you can prove that lower property value contributes to high fatherless birth rates in the black community is a tough assertion altogether.

[bigzak25]

You have got to be kidding.

my statement was based on his hypothetical.

[bigzak25]

switch all the people in compton with the people in beverly hills. houses, cars, everything.

they cannot move. they can improve their property as they wish.


10 years go by.

what do compton and beverly hills look like?

similar? different? is compton worse or better? beveryly hills?

what are you opinions. since you want to bring property values into this.

You guys heard me when i said it's parenting, or lack thereof that is the Main problem, NO, the ONLY problem.

[gtownspur]

WHich is only, a hypothetical.

[xrayzebra]

We have allies? The world hates us.

Oh my, I do so want to be liked. Our interest have no meaning, unless
we are liked. Does this mean we wont be ask to dance at the prom.
I guess the UK, Australia and others don't count. You are so
arrogant.

i don't need no street cred. i got the truth. it's much more powerful.

but i'll keep it to myself until the time is right. that's the last you'll hear from me on the subject on this board.
