    actually I do have a response. How dare anyone come in and say something that does not give another person amunition or justify how bad it is for THEM!
    That IS what this boils down to. Men holding back women, white people holding down black people. All that crap. And thats all it is is crap. If you really feel that way then stop preaching and just change it for yourself.

    This is a thread to be rekkoned with,LOL!

    I will say that as someone who is married to someone/has busted her own ass to acquire wealth by hard work and sacrifice and some inheritance of land from those relatives who worked even harder,I am frightened to death of how the implied" re-distribution of wealth" might play out...as if it is remotely "fair/equal" to compare people who have done it the hard way,dotted all the i' and crossed all the t's to the MANY who are simply expecting to be "given to" for whatever reason...sorry,it sucks.

    I do find it to be the beginning of the elimination of any sort of middle-class that remains (unless you're among the filthy rich,you're considered middle class) and the implication that I might ALSO be "required" to devote any of the time in my"retired years"to mandatory volunteerism disgusts me,seriously.

    Gee....I haven't seen anything that might suggest that someone like me might get any sort of "incentive or break" because I PAID all my bills,taxes,and dues and haven't leeched off the system for years???
    It's sort of like my f-ing health insurance company who has eliminated the "wellness clause/benefits" I used to get for not smoking and staying healthy,having preventive mamos and once a year exams,working out at a gym,etc...it's FAR more profitable for them if they negate the positive facts.

    The suggestions of the new administration might all sound and look pretty damn appealing at first glance but I am totally convinced it's people like me who will be getting TOTALLY f-ed in this new administration and I'm dreading what's to come...has nothing to do with race,it has to do with reality.

    Very good post! The casual racism is the worst kind because it is the only kind that is ignored or even condoned in casual settings.

    A guy I regret sleeping with once told me right afterward, "You're so hot. 99% of guys would fuck you. And that 1%? Those are just gay guys and guys that like black girls. Oh wait, no one likes black girls, not even black guys." Nice compliment, you stupid douche.

    Or how about at the party I went to in a well-to-do white neighborhood in my town when the subject of the Obama-lynch effigy came up over the beer pong table and was greeted with laughter?

    Maybe also the parents of white, Vietnamese, Indian, AND Mexican friends of mine who have voiced their opinions on what they would do if their son/daughter ever dared to date a black person count.

    And this is the young generation! And San Diego! As a pretty white college student I don't even have to experience the brunt of any of it myself. I just get to see it play out behind-the-scenes, and it's tiresome and disgusting.

    White people: stop denying the race issues. Seriously. It just makes you look sheltered, oblivious, or permissive.

    Retiredangel: most poor people are not people who are just sitting on their asses. they work minimum wage jobs. id just like to point that out.
    also yall should have been payig the same percentage of your taxes as they are from the get go. its not fair that rich people get to pay a smaller percentage of their money.

    I do agree with you that many who are working less than well paying jobs and that not all choose to be poor that's for sure! It shouldn't be that we have working poor in this country and this current administration has TOTALLY ignored this problem.
    I'm talking more about those who chose not to work or to better their situations by determination and labor.I see it all around me where we live,3rd generation welfare Moms and teenagers who have more kids in order to get more government assistance.My ex- housekeeper...gets high all day/night...works Red Cross for cash and "assistance",scams generous church programs,and whatever else she can to get cash for parties.
    It is rampant and obvious here in South Texas,trust me.

    Recent example:we pay over 500 a month for our private Blue Cross/Shield health insurance with high deductable for mostly serious stuff (husband owned his own biz for 25 years...built it from the ground up...can you say taxes already paid???) and I get a co-pay for my allergy meds but there is also a 2K deductable for that every year to start with.
    Little darlin' ahead of me in line last week...maybe 19...3 kids in the cart...talking on her f-ing iphone as she tries to get her state- issued card for FREE prescriptions out of her wallet...has WET NAILS,obviously just had them done and asks the girl at the pharmacy to get to out for her??? Same allergy med I was paying a co-pay for that normally costs @ 125.00 a month (Singulair).She paid nothing for it.

    I about went over my cart at her...she was FULL of attitude then she proceeded to chat with her girlfriend about the 3-way she had the night before in front of her kids...how much do you think SHE pays in taxes???

    Please.

    I have done volunteer work in these arenas and the stories are unbelieveable...it has little to do with "wanting to work" and more to do with laziness both mentally and physically.They feel they are entitled to take,period.

    I grew up poor...I have been without food and a place to live in my life and it's no fun and there is no glory in it.
    BUT,I also know that if you are determined,you CAN change your circumstances...so many wouldn't even consider taking on a 2nd or 3rd job...Fuck...I used to sleep in my old beater of a car and change uniforms for waitress jobs in store bathrooms so I could get cleaned up and ready for work at my 2nd or 3rd job on time...how many do THAT anymore???
    2 jobs? Few would even consider it these days.

    As for paying more taxes...girl...you should see what we pay!!! We pay outrageous local school taxes because there are SO many teens with babies at 12-17 that the state deems "must be allowed to finish high school" and we have to provide on site child care for them so they can attend classes,school-sponsored events,and such.Just one example.Birth control? Heaven FORBID,obviously their religious beliefs prevent them from having common sense.
    Property taxes rose 35% this year alone on our ranch...again,we're paying for a lot of corrupt politicians and their kickbacks and illegals who are getting "on the system" here very easily.

    It's just not that cut and dry and I do blame the "powers that be" for causing this current mess that has resulted in unheard of equalities and problems.

    It will be the elderly and children that continue to suffer and that simply sucks.

    There's too much scare-mongering going on.

    And because this is Member Boards: Narcissus, your name suits you and please stop being a cunt.
    You tell me to stop being a cunt when you cannot even take a stand on an issue without contradicting yourself ...

    Most middle and high schools are public schools ... and do not require public service for graduation.

    This is far greater reaching than just helping kids get college tuition. Even if you don't subscribe to the belief that an invasive government is a bad government, you are still missing 50% of what this social programs demands.

Jim Crow laws were around until 1965. That's only about 40 years ago, and there are plenty of disillusioned black Americans still around who have felt their sting.

    Jim Crow laws = we brought you here against your will, raped your women, tortured you, almost eradicated your native culture, finally freed you, but now we don't want anything to do with you. Essentially, "You, blacks, are not GOOD enough for white America."

    Only until quite recently has there been a true shift in racial mentality, especially since younger generations are being exposed to more and more (unfortunately frequently stereotypical) images of blacks in the media, etc.

    Any way you want to cut the pie, there is something that still exists and will continue to exist unless blacks are no longer the minority. This is called white privilege. Unavoidable, not necessarily malicious, many times subconscious, white privilege is the fact that I am white and in a world where the majority of people look like me (albeit on a superficial level), I have an advantage. Whether driven by racism or not, humans naturally tend to associate themselves with people that look like them.

    If you read any of the threads in hustle hut about mirroring, you'll see a taste of how this works. When I go for a job interview or go apartment-hunting, I subconsciously earn a bit of trust whether I mean to or not. You could say that that would work against me if I wanted to work for an all-black company or live in an all-black apartment complex. However, since I am white, I have so many options with white companies that I don't even have to put myself in that position. By and large, black Americans looking to integrate or move up in the corporate world are forced to put themselves at this disadvantage.

    If you try to pull your simplistic "white guilt" accusations on me, my intelligence will be insulted. My heart does sympathize with the past and less frequent/abhorrent current injustices done to the black community, but my head is capable enough to understand the issues that do linger as a result of such inhumanity.
    White privilege is the most absurd term ever. It is vapid and carries no weight. Why? Because it is proven that virtually all races, as a people, are more comfortable around their own race.

    So because white people hold a majority of the upper echelon of jobs, you fallaciously assume that blacks have a harder time getting those jobs ... because of white privilege. No. Blacks, as a race, have a harder time getting those jobs because, as a race, they have far fewer members that are even eligible. As individuals, that meet educational requirements, they have an increased chance of receiving that job ... often even without meeting work history requirements.

    White guilt is so prevalent that I am amazed at how you or anyone else can openly deny it. It happens even here on these forums. And I never said that there were not lingering negatives associated with previous injustices. Not once. I'm sure that there are, but bemoaning equality and how hard it is for 'the black man' to get ahead in this country is a bullshit argument.

    When I, as a supposed member of this currently elitist 'white' group, am held at a lower standard by our very own government ... that says wonders. The days of 'the black man' being held down are loooong gone. Black people, due to their race, are offered so many more incentives and 'helping hands' that it is revolting. According to the 'white privilege' theory, I would be the one that has rights and benefits that they don't have. Huh. I suppose in your many 'march for black rights' moments you never noticed that?

    besides that, if you think racism is limited to overt racism such as being called the n word, or being turned down for a job, clearly for your race, you are sadly mkistaken.
    white people always say oh im not racist, i would never call anyone the n word. yet they clutch their purse in the elevator with a black man. and im not talking a thug type. im talking a black man in a suit and tie, who works in their office.
    oh thats just how is was raised!
    do some research. know what youre talking about.
    am i supposed to feel sorry for you because you were poor? whoop de doo.

    like i said read up on the slave mentality. it has nothing to do with having been, or knowing slaves. obviously i was not a slave. duh. thats not why im mad.
    it has to do with the mentality that has been passed down through the generations.
    do your research before you speak on something you have no idea about.
    ex. why do most black people whup their kids, where as most white people has "moved past" that?
    because when there were slaves, the only way they had ever discipline was through violence. and sadly if they did not discipline their kids, their master's punishment would be much worse, than a simple whuppin'.
    what does that have to do with now?
    because of this. i whup my kids because my parents whupped me, and i came out just fine.
    i whup my kids because my parents whupped me, and i came out fine,
    i whup my kids because my parents whupped me and i came out fine,
    i whup my kids because my parents whupped me, and i came out fine......
    all the way down the generations to today.
    even though it's well documented that whupping causes aggression in children.
    now why havent they just stopped?
    because most black people are not higher educated. they may have heard on tv once or twice that they shouldnt whup their kids, but it can easily be attributed to "thats something that white people do"
    higher educated people are aware of the studies, and know that they could be causing more harm than good to their kids.
    most blacks live in areas where everyone they know has grown up being whupped, and they came out "fine".
    not realizing they are creating aggresion in their kids that is often the cause of acting up in school, and an underlying cause for violence.
    my point is that racism is so much more than overt racism.
    you dont have to agree with me, but you should realize there is far more going on, then what one can see as an outsider.
    once again, do some research before you respond, so you wont sound stupid. "i cant know whats it's like to be a black man?" HA! no you cant.
    you can know whats its like to be poor. two different things.
    I think im just about done with you N. your ignorance insults and angers me.
    it just reminds me of the discord between people living in the same country.
    That is the exact kind of racist banter I expected. Right out of the book of hate, chapter Rev. Wright, page guilt ridden.

    I doubt that many white girls are clutching their purses when a well dressed black man gets in an elevator with them whom they work with. I call bullshit. Bull-fucking-shit. Sure, I could understand and even gladly admit that it happens if it was a stereotypical black man ... for damn good reason.

    So in your hate mongering mind, you are blaming white people for the scary stereotype that has been conceived in regards to the stereotypical black man. I assume you also prescribe to the school of thought that our 'white government' imports drugs to black neighborhoods to 'keep the black man down' as well?

    I love the 'whipping your children' analogy and how it is skewed to demonstrate continued aggression as a generational continuance in the black man by the white people. So even though blacks are given an absurdly large number of 'hand ups' and 'hand outs' to get themselves 'higher education' ... and, as you state, higher educated people learn that beating their children causes aggression ... then it is the white people's fault that black men have a preponderance of whipping their children? ... even though those same black men saw on television that it causes aggression but refuse to listen ... and those whippings, in turn, makes them more likely to be aggressive ... which in turn makes them more likely as young adults to be violent ... which in turn causes such an absurdly large number of black men in prison.

    That damn white devil! Look what he is doing to you?!?

    Give me a fucking break. By the way, there are numerous studies that show whipping children does not cause aggression in children. It has been found that only when the whipping/spanking is unprovoked, excessive, or emotionally fueled does it cause aggression. The anti-whipping, politically correct movement is a fallacy of people who want to think of themselves as more civilized ...

    The discord in this country is because of ignorant people that have a chip on their shoulder and have a need to blame their race's shortcomings on anyone other than their own people. Mix that in with people like Al Sharpton and Rev. Wright who actually make their living off of hate, or the supposed illusion of hate in the (often) absence of it.

    I remember being a little kid - probably 6 or 7 years old - listening to my mom and aunts sitting around talking about getting some yard work done. "Never hire a colored man for a job and tell him you'll pay him by the hour. They're all lazy, so if you don't pay by the job, he'll be slow as molasses so it takes all day."

    No fervor.

    Going with a friend, maybe 12, to a gas station. A black man working there said he'd patch a bicycle tire even though we had no money, but he needed to do something with a car tire first. When he was having trouble getting it off the rim, my friend got impatient and helpfully suggested "Damn, why don't you do it like a white man!"

    Not much fervor.

    Sitting in the back seat of a car as we drove through colored town, we all used to play a game; first one to spot a car with a broken headlight got a point by yelling "One eyed coon".

    Just a little fun. No fervor.

    Visiting my grandmother in northern Indiana and going downtown with the neighborhood kids to see El Cid. When Sophia Loren appeared on screen for the first time, one of the guys was astute enough to observe - to the entire theater - "Heeeyyy. She looks like a nigger!"

    Just an observation, no fervor.

    And there's the problem. There wasn't any fervor. None of these people were members of the KKK, just common ordinary middle class folks saying what came naturally...

    Maybe none of the types of things I remember ever occur anymore. Maybe next time I take a dump, little leprechauns will grab it and turn it all into a pot of gold...
    Have you ever spent time in an all black community/school?

    There are racial comments made by whites, but compared to the prevalent black loathing of the white man, those racial slurs carry no weight. None. You want to see hate, move into an all black neighborhood as a white family. Unfortunately, political correctness offers the white family no protection at all.

    Just out of curiosity, what kind of people were you around when you were growing up? I've heard racial bigotry before, but never like what you describe ... although it is still nothing compared to the opposing hate.

    I don't know about anyone else, but I'd love to go to this magical land Narcissus keeps writing about, where white v. black racism isn't a problem (for lack of a place where racism isn't a problem, period). I certainly worry about not fitting in, but since he pointed out in another thread that I myself was racist, I guess it really wouldn't be a problem.

    Actually, there is a good deal of truth in that observation if one is careful about the definitions. For example, for those Americans that are rich enough to pony up $50k or $100k at a time, there is the option of purchasing relatively high interest paying tax free municipal bonds. This fact allowed John Kerry to only have to pay an actual tax rate of 12% on his $5 million dollars worth of 2004 income ( as released during his presidential campaign ). Similarly, for those with $1 million available to invest, as 'qualified investors' they can hook up with anonymous offshore hedge funds and theoretically pay a 0% actual tax rate on the resulting income. Well at least this will be the case until the IRS can crack Swiss / Lichtenstein / Monaco / Cayman Islands Bank secrecy to discover American account holders and their account balances (an investigation that has made essentially zero progress so far).

    Along the same lines, for those with $1 million available to invest, they can be come a 'partner' in a tax favored alternative energy investment ... be it midwest corn farmland ( Late Night NYer David Letterman's favorite tax minimization strategy ), a wind generation farm, a solar energy company etc. All of these are eligible for production tax credits which can then be applied to directly reduce taxes due on more 'conventional' income sources. In fact 5.4 cents of the cost of every gallon of 10% ethanol blend gasoline is directly kicked back to US ethanol producers in the form of a production tax credit.

    Despite 'official' published tax rates, the fact that the uber-rich have (and will continue to have) the means available to them to drastically reduce their actual effective tax rate is one of the 'dirty little secrets' of Democratic politics. The fact that the uber-rich are in some cases able to reduce their actual effective tax rate to something that is 1/2 the actual effective tax rate of an 'upper middle class' taxpayer is of course ignored by mainstream media.

    Unfortunately, Obama's financial analysts have apparently ignored the real world options that are open to uber-rich Americans as well ! Thus his proposed tax rate hikes on those earning more than $250k per year (or whatever figure prevails this week) will prompt the uber-rich to take actions to shield much of their earnings from the increased tax rates. In the process, the gov't will receive far less in the way of additional tax revenues than Obama's financial analysts have projected. This will then leave Obama with a dilemma ... either to reneg on his promises to increase social welfare spending for the 'poor' (who supported him heavily in last week's election), or to increase tax rates on those earning $150k or $100k or $75k per year (many of whom supported his opponent). I'll leave it to you to perform the probability math !!!

    Since we are on the topic of racism here, I saw where Obama got 97% of the black vote. And people act like the only racism that exists is white on black. I'm not denying white on black racism but it would seem less prevalent than black on white racism. Can you imagine the complaints if 97% of the white vote went for the white guy?

    And as far as taxes are concerned, how do rich people pay less when poor people ( the bottom 40% ) pay 0% in federal taxes?

    ^^^ however, as you indirectly point out, most of the 'civil rights activist' generation has now reached retirement age, and Bull Connor has been dead for years ! You'll definitely want to check out the 'Obama and 'post-racial' America' thread.


    how do rich people pay less when poor people ( the bottom 40% ) pay 0% in federal taxes?
    This is the other half of the 'dirty little secret' of Democratic politics. When the gov't gives an 'income tax refund' check to people who haven't actually paid income taxes, it's correct name is a 'welfare' check. But if Obama's new 'forced volunteerism' is going to apply to high school students and college students and retirees, it will be extremely curious to see whether it is also applied to those receiving other forms of gov't subsidies !!!

    Yes and no. While you are correct in demonstrating that many rich Americans are able to shield their money (due to having money ... irony!) it is still a fact that the vast majority of taxes paid are paid by wealthy individuals and wealthy corporations.

In fact, as to the movie incident, I was shocked by the initial comment and then doubly shocked as we were leaving to see (for the first time in my life) four muscular young black men sitting two rows behind us in the same theater.

    Except for the Indiana visit, which was pretty much a blue collar steel worker area, I grew up in "the better part of town", i.e. mostly middle class professional or white collar with a few single mother waitresses thrown in, in what can fairly be described as the armpit of Florida (no offense to anyone living there, but I'm sure I can get Djoser to back me up...).

    And you're right, those weren't examples of outright hatred. In fact, we were the local liberals, supporting JFK and LBJ, not Goldwater or the John Birch Society.

    But the behavior was commonplace. And I wonder, if I were the guy in the gas station for instance, how many comments like that from snotty white kids would I hear without being able to answer back before I started to hate white people and transmit that hatred to my own kids? This is the age that Rev. Wright also grew up in (though earlier), and I'm not convinced urban centers in the north were much better than our little southern shitholes.
    I consider Mississippi and Arkansas (my early years) as quite southern ... both in location and attitude. I saw racism and bigotry ... however it was more often black vs white and had far more hate involved than its opponent.

    Regardless, hate is hate and it is sickening. Personally, I'm just fed up with the 'chip on my shoulder' and 'the white man owes me' types of attitudes. By placating those attitudes, we, as a nation, have caused the absurd double standards that are now in place.

    Yes, he is. Thanks to people like you that are supporting him for all the wrong reasons and refusing to see anything other than a 'proud black democratic man'.

    Congrats ... you won and I pray that he only fucks this country with his radical views half as much as I think he will. :claps:

    So tell me ... would it be fair, in any fucking situation, for me to make a comment like yours? Maybe a small comment about making a SW white supremacy club? You mock reverse-racism WHILE fucking practicing it. Astute.

    ROFL. I never said anything about an SW black supremacy club, so you're not even making a valid comparison.
    It was about an SW reverse-racist club, for posters deemed 'reverse racist' by the mighty Narcissus. Now, I can call you racist, and you and HoolaTwist can go off and make jokes about an SW racist club, in an attempt to mock me, if you'd like. I wouldn't say anything about it (Although I'm sure you'd feel validated by 'OMG THEY ADMITTED IT! THEY ADMITTED IT! THEY'RE RACIST! DAMN WHITE PEOPLE! I KNEW IT!' ...not gonna happen.)

    However I don't think you're racist, per se...just...bitter, so don't worry about actually doing it.

    The term 'reverse-racism' is not a real term ... it is an idea that expresses our cultural preponderance to go so far on a spectrum of 'racism' that we have gone over the deep end on the opposite side generally seen as 'a racist view'. That is why, when you read so many posts here ... you find it is rife with fantastical comments made that, were the races switched', would start a 'hunt down the evil whitey' attack.

    no....you know what reverse racism means?? Its the notion that all racism stems from whites....so when any other race is predjudice against whites... its in reverse.... think about that...think about how that makes you as a white person look when you use that term....

    I disagree. The term, at least how I have heard it and use it, is used to express the outrageous mindset of our society today ... almost exclusively in regards to black vs white racism.

    When a white person claims they are being racially discriminated against ... it is laughed off and ignored. Hence the use of 'reverse racism' to describe the completely unfair practice of bigotry being used against whites and it being accepted and politically correct.

    That makes me feel pretty fucking good as a lower-class white male that has, since birth, been discriminated against ... to have a term that describes that absolutely ridiculous situation that I am placed in as 'white'.

    no, thats not what reverse racism means...infact, that meaning makes no sense.... even tho i'm sure you would like that to be the meaning.

    It means what i just explained to you...and thats how it is used not just by whites...but by blacks as well....
