Can someone define "white person" and "black person" for me? Where is the line. Thanks. What ever definition that properly keeps the Irish and Italians from being considered "white" works for me.

Don’t they already have highly segregated “dorms” throughout the country? The are called penitentiaries. How is that working out?

Place holder while I respond. You seem to have inferred something that wasn't or at least was not intended to be implied. The nation is predominantly white. Most professions employ predominantly white people. It's best for a black person or any minority in the US to simply accept this. Come across a person (of any race) that is explicitly racist or otherwise discriminatory? I mean hey, we're obviously far from being a "post-racial" society...fuck them, keep pushing. Implicitly racist? Fuck them, keep pushing. It's certainly true that a person will generally perform better in an environment in which they're comfortable, but being surrounded by white people and expected to perform just as well shouldn't make you uncomfortable. That is currently the norm and will be for at least 3-5 more decades. Quote HistoryQuoted:

As a black man, this is dumb as rocks. We are born into a predominantly white nation, which is run by predominantly white people (and 50% of FBHO). It's best that you learn to work your way through and hopefully excel in this still very white nation. Just as asking for a "white history" month I s completely retarded, so is asking for a dorm for black males. This shit better be some form of structured study. Consider me "triggered." So what is this power that is a barrier for you, that you have to "learn to work your way through and hopefully excel in this still very white nation" - I'm generally curious. "Power" comes from jobs, right? Someone who doesn't work, doesn't really affect shit. If you wanted an entire workforce that was 50/50 (ignoring the other minorities), you would have a country of ~150 million white people unemployed, and that would be assuming that 100% of blacks were employed. Would that make it a non-white nation? Sounds terrific for everyone... If you are going to call the US a white nation, you need to acknowledge that it is simply because of population numbers. So yeah, it's a "white nation" if you want that to be the lens you look at things through. But that's also why the good intentions crowd has put laws into place that specifically help anyone who isn't white (in the areas that matter most and can be affected by law, such as education and occupation). These laws have made a lot of people weaker, that's just what lower standards and expectations do. I agree with you, this type of shit (in the OP) is in the same vein of good intentions and will not actually make them stronger. PS - I don't want a white history month, I just want American history. Not selective history, just history. Place holder while I respond. You seem to have inferred something that wasn't or at least was not intended to be implied. The nation is predominantly white.

I apologize for my misunderstanding of what you were saying, some of those particular words must be triggers. 
I'm genuinely curious how you feel about some of these things (I know the kind of guy (you) who can hang around here isn't reflective of the average guy on the street, but still - you have a unique perspective on things) Do you feel that since most professions employ predominately white people, that is a disadvantage or hindrance for blacks? Do you think a business, located in a town with 90% whites should be forced to employ 50% minorities, or should it reflect it's local community demographics, or should it simply be burdened with evidencing that it's hiring process is based solely on skills? Can you empathize with whites who are not afforded scholarships and denied jobs because of their race? I've been called racial slurs by blacks, entirely unprovoked at that. I have never called anyone a racial slur. For me to be harassed with racially charged comments, I would receive no sympathy from a lot of people these days simply because... I can not be a victim because I'm white. There is even a notable portion of society now that thinks I deserve that treatment, merely by affiliation to my skin color - my "privilege." Do you think there is any legitimacy in that? Thanks man |

I don't subscribe to the belief that white people should feel guilty for being white. No human should ultimately be judged by their race. Race is no more than our inherently human (not necessarily humane) way of separating ourselves. Race is neither deserving of pride nor of shame. However given the unique history of this nation, it cannot be argued that there are lasting effects of the undoubted racism of our past. Insert 1 million word essay here... Thanks man |

Quoted:
Segregated dorms for males 'who identify as Black' coming to UConn The University of Connecticut is hoping that black males will graduate at a higher rate if they spend more time with one another, and is building a new residence hall to facilitate just that.
*** "It is a space for African American men to, one, come together, and validate their experiences that they may have on campus," he explained. "Number two, it's also a space where they can have conversation and also talk with individuals who come from the same background who share the same experience." Sounds like a space to foster/nurture racism to me. EDIT: link fixed what a load of a crock of shit.the liberal mind is unstable. |

It's racist to oppose segregation. This. "The white portion of the University of Connecticut is probably not ready for it," he speculated. "You have people who are going to go against it because they are just racist and they see this as a form of segregation or that we’re getting better things than they are." The puppetry major just turned a couple hundred years of history on its head. Now you're a racist if you oppose segregation. The correct and socially-acceptable position is to support separate housing based on (self-identified) race. |
