What's the best way to deal with race relations?

1.) Good manners.

2.) Treat people as individuals.

3.) Look at yourself and try to be honest. Are your opinions of others something decent people should be ashamed of?

4.) Return to #1.

 

Arm the Southern blacks and tell them to "go biblical" like Lincoln should have done in the first place.

 

You say you have no idea why they commit more crime than go on to talk about how violent the black race is, it could not be anymore obvious you and many others here believe that they commit more crime because they are black. Just go back to that quote I posted from one of those links you sent me, he talks about how black people are not violent because of culture, because there are multiple cultures that include blacks, they are not violent because of religion because again there are blacks in multiple religions, it cant be the country because you guys are convinced black people are far more violent in all countries, than you guys are only left with one option, race. You wont say its because of their race because you know it will make you look like the racist bastards you are, so what do you do? You say things like "It cant be a coincidence that its the black race committing the most crimes" while never admitting directly its because of their race. You instill doubt into the populace and try to hint towards the concept blacks are violent because of their race by saying they are not violent for any other reason such as culture/religion etc. This is the new closet racism, you (*)(*)(*)(*)s even defended Glenn Beck saying Obama hates white culture, how ridiculous and blatantly racist. Show a single thread of proof that Obama hates "white culture", you know what, tell me wtf white culture even means because just the words are very idiotic there is no such thing as a white culture.

 

Why should people indulge in criminal activity because of their skin color? It must be something else.

You suggested that poverty and years of oppression were the cause, but there are poor and oppressed people of every race.
So what is it about black Africans that causes such behavior?

 

"but there are poor oppressed people of every race" Yes and you are under the impression that only when black people are oppressed they are more likely to commit a crime than usual, but if a white man is being oppressed he is not more likely to a crime? What bull(*)(*)(*)(*). Oppress any race, and they are more likely to commit crimes. Its not just black people.

 

It does seem to be that way. I asked Why. I thought you might have some ideas on it other than poverty and oppression. Actually there was less crime among our black Americans when they were oppressed. Now that they have been given a better than even chance to raise themselves up in the economic world by getting an education and a good job, the majority of them seem to prefer crime to work.
Why is that?

 

You don't think those generations they were oppressed have any effect on the current state today?


Common sense is lacking on Internet forums......

 

No, I don't. White Europeans were oppressed for over a thousand years under the various Kings. Do we or did we/resort to crime as a way of life either during or afterwards? NO we didn't. We took positive advantage of every opportunity. We knuckled down and built a country, and improved our lives with technology.

You're right common sense is lacking.

 

LoL, you want to compare life under a monarchy to chattel slavery based upon skin color? How about Jim Crow until 1960's?

Tell me something....if the white European had progressed so much, and you say black people want to commit to crime instead of working, then there should not be any white people without a job, or committing any crime.

I can't wait to hear your "per capita" argument.

 

Here's an idea on how to begin repairing race relations:

Watch this movie: [video=youtube;tY9fI0XPjmY]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tY9fI0XPjmY[/video]

Then let's talk about it.

 

Under slavery the people were housed, clothed and fed. As a fief under the Monarchy the people had to fend for themselves plus pay the Monarch for living in his land. I' m not basing it on skin color. I'm basing it on living conditions.

Are you forgetting that 4 to 5 hundred years ago there were lots of white slaves owned by rich whites?

Glock, there have always been and always will be a certain number of people in all races that will be criminals. Likewise there will always be a certain number of people of all races who will be unemployed. Even some of the employed will be criminals. Common sense sure is lacking.

 

It seems people like to change their tune when their argument falls flat, for in your previous post you just said "majority of them (black people) prefer crime to work" now it's "certain number in all races"...

If you had just said the latter part, there would be no discussion now.

Common sense.

 

I haven't changed anything. I said there will always be members of any race who will be criminals. So WHY are there so many of the black race that are criminals?

 

How many should there be?

 

He keeps asking "WHY are there so many of the black race that are criminals" than says he doesnt know why it is but he knows its not religion, nationalism, or culture so there is only one option left (race) so he tries to leave people to their own racist conclusions, he believes that as long as he never admits directly that its because they are black than he can say whatever he wants about the black race without being racist. Sadly, he doesnt know the left see's right through that racist bull(*)(*)(*)(*) babble, its only going to be people on the right who take him serious and come up with extremely racist thoughts about why the black race commits the most crime.

 

That's why I challenged him in the first place. I figured I'd give him the benefit of doubt, until he came with that crap trying to equalize slavery to living under kings. After that, I pretty much knew I was wasting my time.

 

So why Exactly is it that black Africans commit so much crime?
Are you saying that "racism" causes it?
Or are you trying to say that it only appears that way because in the minds of "racists?
You haven't explained how being black causes criminality.
I didn't say it, you did.
I said I do not know why blacks are involved in so much crime. Apparently no one knows. Even those who are black seem clueless.
You are still hung up in the "victim" attitude.

You are both avoiding the real question.

Well Glock, how is feudalism so very different from the lives of the black slaves in the US?

 

A combination of relative poverty and (*)(*)(*)(*) poor culture. Liberals proclaimed that poverty, however, was the only problem, that anyone pointing at the generic culture of poor Blacks was racist and so as a result endless amount of money and finagling of employment and education regulations was poured into the 'solution set' but the terribly bad aspects of critical parts of the Black culture were verboten to mess with or even address.

So the very very bad things continue to happen. Drugs? All poor cultures in this nation struggle with drugs and yet they do not cause such problems both inside and outside their communities. Then of course you have the professional race-baiters such as Jackson and Sharpton who deliberately keep the pot stirred in order to keep themselves and their own gated community family members very, very, very wealthy.

 

Treat everyone equally until given reason to do otherwise.

 

Everyone should be treated exactly equally before the law, period. This has been advocated by everyone of good will, including Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Unfortunately, thanks to mechanisms like Reverse Discrimination, a.k.a., "affirmative action", we still see that some people are given unfair government-sponsored advantage, and, the courts hold that this is LEGAL! We will never have racial justice in this country until Reverse Discrimination is completely done away with and everybody has to stand on his own two feet -- in true equality!

 

"Reverse Discrimination", that is hysterical. That is like when Fox News talks about "Reverse Racism" there is absolutely no such thing, discrimination is discrimination and racism is racism its as simple as that.

The problem is its extremely clear black people are not being treated equally by the law, affirmative action is simply trying to counter-balance this. You cant expect a entire race of people to go from slaves to sub-citizens and than to citizens without any huge obstacles in the way that were not there for white people so affirmative action is like a stepping stone to try and help them. Of course the right-wing, the same people who disenfranchised the black race, are trying to say affirmative action is bad. Luckily there are liberals and socialists here to show otherwise.

 

Teach people to get their heads free of the whole farcical concept. There is just one, human 'race', and all the rest is tedious right-wing drivel.

 

I have to disagree, I mean truthfully it is because we bottle it up that it is such a hot topic, I think it would be better to lay everything on the table from all sides, white, black, brown, red, yellow, green, purple, and polka dot, then it becomes a non issue and there is nothing for the media sensationalize.

 

Whoa!! Freeman hit that one out of the park!!! I agree absolutely 100%

 

I am so, so tired of dealing with the race thing...

My answer to the question: "What's the best way to deal with race relations?" is this:

Learn to live together.....

I do not scold, I plead in saying that.

Last Monday, Canadian Thanksgiving [we invented it you know], I went for a ride on our sky-train which is sometimes a subway but we call it all "sky train" and tried to ride it as a racist. I tried to see things like I think you see them. I tried to see differences.

On the fist bus, it was easy. The people around me were all Asian, two of whom were young and pretty and we talked until my transfer to the sky train. There, things got, shall we say, strange...

You see the guy next to me had really dark skin, not black though, and European features. So asked him what was his nationality. Greek. OK, so is he white?

Next, a negroid looking man with kind of Chinese skin. He I suspect is from Polynesia...so, Asian? He looks black though.

Next to him some very dark skinned kids, standing in Cannucks jerseys, dark glasses on their heads, do rags and such. They get off where I do so I ask them for a sec. I'm conducting an experiment I tell them. And so it starts. We come away proud, brothers in a way, even with 40 + years between us because they understand what I'm on about. They offer me some pot, I decline and that's cool. They, the four of them represent six nationalities across four continents; Africa, Asia, Europe and America, and the only thing we know for sure that counts is that we are Canadian, citizens of the best place on earth and the Cannucks don't look any better this year than any other year.

Learn to live together.
