<p>"i think all black ppl suffer at least a little from discrimination. i have enough to write an essay about it." ...umm the people who are taking this seriously can't be serious! =p</p>
<p>Just another disgruntled person at AA... pretending to be a user.</p>
<p>Can everyone shut up? The OP is obviously a troll... some kid who's really ****ed off about AA and black people and wants everyone to get all mad. Way to completely buy into it. It's fine to disagree, blablabla, but don't make sweeping generalisations like discrimination no longer exists. (Cough doogie cough). I find that offensive and I have more than a few friends here in NYC, a supposed bastion of acceptance) who would definitely disagree.</p>
<p>Please stop calling me names like troll, which I am most certainly not. I am a real person!!!!!</p>

<p>I AGREE. STOP ARGUING ABOUT THIS.
This guy is an obvious troll. I think I stated this last night:
WHAT IS UP WITH THE EXCESSIVE SMILEY FACES?
The majority of his posts, no matter the seriousness of the topic, were filled with an abundance of FRICKIN SMILEY FACES. To quote Holden Caulfield, the guy is "a phony".</p>
<p>this thread is obnoxiously long</p>
<p>the smiley faces are amusing b/c they are so overdone. hahaha.</p>
<p>Real person.</p>
<p>We know you're a human being, troll is just making reference to what you do, not what you physically are. You can't use that loophole to deny the trouble your causing. Now boycott this thread or we contribute. I'll start.</p>
<p>"discrimination we see today will never prevent anyone from getting ahead."</p>
<p>Never? Says who?</p>
<p>White people have NO idea what discrimination is.....But, in one, albeit, one major aspect of their life, college admissions.</p>
<p>The OP sounds like a fake, but all the white people hating on him are being ridiculous. I bet you that Clarence Thomas, Condelezza Rice, and Colin Powell still can't catch a cab in certain neighborhoods.</p>
<p>Some white people have no clue.....and the fact that they pretend like they know what they're talking about is particularly irksome....</p>
<p>well don't we all discriminate to some degree (even if it's unintentional?)</p>

</p>
<p>Thats a crap thing to say. go to wikipedia, enter "race and crime" and it says that WHITES COMMIT MORE CRIME than blacks based on percentage but blacks are just arrested more.</p>
<p>yes, exactly iwantsomecollege</p>
<p>and i never said discrimination no longer exists...read my posts more carefully...and in todays society it wont keep you down as long as you arent oblivious</p>

Well, look at the opposite. If you take a white kid and move him/her to the "ghetto", don't you think he/she would experience more racism than a black kid in suburbia? I think that the messages we are feeding minorities is that they are discriminated against so they start to not trust any white people. I think this black history month and all this stuff isn't helping anything.

</p>
<p>because of course all black people live in the ghetto. You're saying some rather.... fill in the blank... things.
Black history month is meant to celebrate heritage, do you have a problem with celebrating heritage too? News flash, it was white people who put Black history month, AA and everything else into play, so quit whining about it and acting as if black people did it.</p>
<p>And why is all of this about black people - putting aside that the starter of the thread mentioned being black? Ethnicity wise, african americans are NOT the largest minority, so why are they constantly targeted instead of the minority that makes up the bulk of the population?</p>
<p>"I bet you that Clarence Thomas, Condelezza Rice, and Colin Powell still can't catch a cab in certain neighborhoods."
I betcha I'd have a hard time catching one in a black neighborhood.</p>

how bout reading the article on wikipedia before using it as a defense...
"Statistics also show that "Blacks" are more likely to be involved in crime overall. Some experts point to the disparity in the numbers of arrests for "Black" people in the categories of drug crimes, theft, etc. J. Philippe Rushton explained this as being mostly the result of genetics. In his book, "Race, Evolution, and Behavior", he explains that "Blacks" are much more prone to be violent, oversexed, athletic, and less intelligent than the other races. Asians are more prone to be more intelligent, undersexed, less violent, and less athletic than other races. "Whites" are more likely to be at a midpoint between "Blacks" and Asians. The reasons for "Blacks" committing crime has to do with the inability to fit into "civilized" society."</p>
<p>"because of course all black people live in the ghetto."
My point exactly then. Those who aren't living in the ghetto don't need the help getting into college. Thank you for saying that. It's apparent that equality is not the goal for several minorities, they want superiority</p>
<p>any1 else notice black history month is in feb...shortest month of the year haha, idk just found that sorta funny when u said whites made black history month....is that discrimination too?</p>

<p>How about you read the ENTIRE article before replying? It'll help in the long run.</p>

Another critique of Rushton's findings and of experts who collect statistics on "Black" crime, is that it is quite obvious most "Black" people are not in prison for violent crime. The vast majority of "Black" people are in prison because of drug crimes. "Whites" commit drug crimes by many estimates at about the same rate as "Blacks", but are prosecuted far less. Critics claim that if "Whites" were prosecuted at the same rates that "Blacks" are, the prison population would look much different.

<p>You really should read... everything you posted is ONE MAN's opinion, - J. Philippe Rushton , he wrote a biased book about race. Didn't you even read it? Or did you skim, and thought you had it figured?</p>

<p>February was choosen because of the numerous amounts of events pertaining to blacks that happened in that month:
W.E.B. DuBois' birthday is in feb.
the date blacks were given the right to vote was in feb.
the first black senator was appointed in february
the NAACP was founded in feb
malcom x died in february</p>
<p>You posted something that CRITICS say. CRITICS obviously aren't gonna be saying things that are completely unbiased.</p>
<p>right..</p>
