Double standards? white guy gets shot by black cop in a similar situation days apart

[Mudhammam]

It doesn't sound like you even know what you're saying. But if you're trying to say that feelings of superiority and persecution still exist, then yeah, that's true, for concrete reasons including those I mentioned that continue to factor into people's sentiments.

That is EXACTLY What I am saying. These feeling and want for segergation still exists. Race is no longer the catalyst. Whether one has money or not is the new 'racism' we are dealing with now.

It's better than it was 20 years ago but there are still companies owned by whites that would hire a white person with less qualifications over a black person more qualified if only because they have stereotypical views of blacks. I used to work for a white person that didn't hide that fact (and I don't live in the South).

What makes you think your singular experience is the rule and not one of the exceptions?

What makes you think your boss isn't simply a relic of a time that has long since past?
Because Al sharpton says so? He needs controversy to stay relevant, to be a leader, to rally power and support. He is trying to unite people under the idea of a tyranny that was mortally wounded in the 60's and is all but dead now...

In the sixties their were innocent people being dragged out in the middle of the night, and linched for simply being black... Look at what the rally call is now supporting. a guy who robs a store, and 30 mins later beats up a cop. Why? Because that is all the tyranny he can muster up! If black people were still being dragged out of their beds at night for being black do you think mike brown's name or situation would even be known?

News stories like this are ways to make money and accumiulate power, because people like you has an old school boss who still likes the n word.

And poor communities tend to be majority white, right? No, they don't.

OMG I thought the last thing you said was uninformed...

let's start with poverty percentages in how they relate to race:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poverty_in_...Fethnicity

9.9% of all white persons
12.1% of all Asian persons
26.6% of all Hispanic persons (of any race)
28.4% of all black persons.

To someone looking to confirm his own bias, and personal experience these numbers would cause a cascade failure in one's thinking process resulting in the brain shutting down, leaving him with no other recourse than to say some thing as stupid as: "And poor communities tend to be majority white, right? No, they don't"

So the next thing a thinking person not looking to confirm or deny a bias would do is find out the actual census numbers and see what these percentages relat to.

As of 2010:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_American
There are 196,817,552 or 63.7% 'White' (non hispanic) Americans.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/African_American
38.9 Million/12% African Americans

Next we extrapolate the precentages that was given in our first pole from these numbers.

to do that we take 196,817,552 multiply it times .01/10% and we get 19.6 white americans living in poverty.
next we do the same for African Americans
38.9 million times .3 or 30% (instead of the 28.4)

Next we do the same for African Americans
38,900,000 that's 11.4 million people...

Nothing to shake a stick at but still almost 9 million people less than what you have had your brain washed to think.

So Yeah, there are far more trailer parks than 'projects' it would seem.

It seems like nobody has more hate (for poor people apparently) than people who express themselves with statements like this.

actually I 'hate' stupid people. Not ignorant nor just wrong about a given subject, but truly stupid people. those who think they know, and get in your face about what they think they know, and when challenged turn things personal, rather than address the topic. But that is neither here nor there.

To address your point, I used the terms 'rich and poor' because you did not seem to understand my orginal phrasing that describes the new form of 'raceism' this country is facing.

So yes to describe hate, one will have to assume the resonsiablity of said descriptions.

As they say, ignorance is bliss... because not only does your statement not correspond with the actual world, it doesn't negate the racism that still our poisons our institutions--whether financial (what percentage of blacks work on Wall Street?),

http://www.blackenterprise.com/mag/75-mo...-street-2/

educational (what percentage of blacks receive the same quality of education?),

seriously?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Affirmative_action

There are many who receive a quality education who do not deserve it. They often times bump a more qualified white student for enrolement when entering under this act.

I myself had an oppertunity to goto school (believe it or not, reading on a 4th grage level) over that of a far more qualified white student. I promptly refused, as that in my mind was not right. If I did not earn it I did not want it.

the courts (what percentage of blacks receive the same justice?), etc.

What happens in the courts is a direct reflection of a case by case inquery of guilt by a jury of one's peers.
I have sat a couple jurys and never once has race ever factored in. Their is either doubt, or no doubt based on evidence of a person's guilt.

Another thing I noticed is black people sit on jury's as well. all it takes is one out of 12 to keep someone out of prision. If it is as you say and there is a real 1960's injustice going on in the US then that one person could keep a great injustice from happening... So what does it say when a black person votes guilty after a trial?

Again you hear a 50 year rally cry who's time has all but past away.

Is their inequality in the US yes. Is it race based? not to the degree you think it is. Yes there are floaters still left in the bowl, but in time they too will be flushed away, unless people like you (guilty white americans) allow a power hungry politician guilt you into turning your brain off, and pig in a poke you into thinking it is still 1966.

Things aren't equal and in a caplist soceity they never will be. It is the segergation from the haves and have nots that makes this soceity work. Because we are a capital/money based soceity our proclivity to segergation, will/is also captial/money based. That term is refered to as Social Stratification

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_stratification

It would be too easy to dismiss you as simply blowing out smoke but when you go on ranting about Al Sharpton (what makes you think I give a shit about his opinion?) and "guilty white Americans" (strange, it's almost as if you felt 'challenged' and then turned 'things personal, rather than address the topic'), there's really no other phrase for what you're doing here.

As to your comments about wealth inequality being the "new racism," we have no disagreement there, but your delusional fantasy that minorities aren't disproportionately affected by it, as they always have been, is, somewhat hilariously enough, contradicted by the statistics you provided. So again, thanks for conceding my argument (which never was that the situation is as dire as 1966, but I appreciate the straw-man as demonstrating that you have no relevant argument to make here). You also failed to address the fact that blacks are far more likely to receive harsher sentences and end up in federal prison for offenses that whites are just as likely to commit. But honestly, I didn't really expect you to.
