So ten? Twenty?

What is free bout Amazon CEO stroking his ego by banning. And solution to what?
I have no connection to Africa, thus I don't care what happened or happens there.
then stop speaking on africa/africans.
"African-Americans"
Hilarious term by the way. Won't shut up about something that happened centuries ago.
Iden y and heritage is important to you tho.
jim crow, separate but equal, racial housing policies, redlining, etc was pretty recent fam.
yep. and even to this day, implicit bias affects employment (identical applications with a traditionally black name are less likely to get called back) and criminal justice (higher conviction rates - mock jurors are even more likely to convict a black defendant with otherwise identical race-neutral evidence, higher sentencing for same crimes and comparable priors)
not to mention lingering ulative effects of what you mentioned (not being able to accrue family wealth until fairly recently)
I don't like being an asshole, it is not who I am. It's just too much coverage all at once and at times forced. To your point of view, this is probably just catching up to what should have been occurring steadily over the years. I hope we find a fair resolution
this doesnt explain all of the problems the black community faces, though. they are significantly more likely to have children born into single parent households, which itself is a massive hindrance towards future success. to be fair, some of THAT can even be attributed to things like higher conviction rates, etc., but not all of it.
Your safe spot is putting them back in chains.
Have you met yonivore?
single parent doesn't mean that a father isn't involved, though and majority of black fathers live with their children. studies show black fathers are the most involved of all race and ethnic groups.
a lot of our problems stem from communities that never bounced back from the crack epidemic stuck in a cycle of poverty and drug abuse, poor schools, bad policing and lack of opportunities.
I mean sure, if slavery or Jim Crow laws were still in effect I could see your point. But we are so far removed from that despite SJWs and blacks wanting to play that victim card so bad. Blacks are better represented than all other minorities in pretty much anything thats high profile.
I'm not trying to play victim Olympics either. It's about equality and support for all.
Nah. This is America and it's 2020. We just had a black president. There are successful black people, that came from nothing across all professions.
Every race has these no ambition, low class, lazy people. We don't make excuses for white trash. Or the ghetto ass Hispanics popping out babies like crazy. Why do we make excuses for the blacks that choose to continue living in that cycle? Just because they have more of those people than every other race?
What you mentioned are side notes, but unless you think black skin makes you want to live in ghettos and commit felonies, then you need to consider when exactly blacks weren't living in the poorest parts of town. When exactly was that? Most other races in the US progressed organically. The Blacks did not. They were artificially transplanted into a hostile situation and made less than human. This was true for hundreds of years. Coming out of that isn't fast or easy. There's no guarantee it will ever happen. Blacks in the US developed into what you see today through closed ranks communities and self protection. Survival mechanisms led them to not trust outside of their communities, and from there outside their race. The same isn't true for Hispanics, Asians, Indians or Native Americans. Many of those have some hard histories, but none were owned for 300 years.
It love to see those studies...
Excuses. The Civil War was 150+ years ago, the Civil Rights Movement 50+ years ago. The younger generation of black people that never experienced any of that dont get a free pass to have no accountability just because their ancestors suffered through it. Some people are just low lifes.
Is the "distrust" caused by slavery forcing them to shoot each other up over stupid like gang colors and drugs? To objectify their own women? To abandon their own children? To put down members of their own community for being "too white" because they're trying to be respectable members of society?
What about everyone else? Are Maria de Jesus Gonzalez Martinez and Asalah Farooq just as likely to get a call back as Ashley Wellington?
Not ok. But it's also dishonest to turn a blind eye to the role the black community themselves has played in helping create the bias against them in the criminal justice system. They don't make up the majority of the prison population because every one of them is a victim that was racially profiled. The large majority of them are just low lifes.and criminal justice (higher conviction rates - mock jurors are even more likely to convict a black defendant with otherwise identical race-neutral evidence, higher sentencing for same crimes and comparable priors)
Oppression olympics tbh. You’re welcome to show me a study supporting those rates
thats the point. Stereotypes are reinforced. Self fulfilling prophecyNot ok.

It was illegal for black people to marry white people in Alabama until the 21st century
Nigeria, Liberia, Sierra Leone, The Gambia, Ivory Coast, Equatorial Guinea, CAR (worst place in the world), Djibouti, Somalia. Never again
Can only speak for myself. I hate black people
You used to throw down with your 18th street vatos against the Bloods, ese?
One black guy beat me on 2k
Hated every black person I've ever come across since.
