<p>^ Ummm really, cuz I see plenty of minority working to keep food on the table and to pay the bills, THAT is the majority</p>
<p>In the end, it’s the white man fault.</p>
<p>I feel sorry for White people, they get blamed for all the bad things in the world. From global warming to pandemics.</p>
<p>^^^ that’s their belief.</p>
<p>I mean seeing as how athletics are glorified in this country and are more visible than the academic fields I can see their belief(mainly because I followed that path as well).</p>
<p>Realistically… more fail than actually reach it.</p>
<p>^^ Can we stop blaming the white man for everything and actually do something for ourselves?</p>
<p>^^^ People who think that way are part of the reason why you guys haven’t risen above it completely. Keep thinking that way, see where it takes you. </p>
<p>The white man held down the Japanese pretty damn well some time around dat der pearl harbor, and the Jews have been hated since the beginning of time, but both of those minorities have risen above it.</p>
<p>Just most likely it is there fault xD</p>
<p>The japs made it with help. A lot of help.</p>
<p>Affirmative…</p>
<p>Affirmative, the japs did receive a lot of help.</p>
<p>^Nice one lol</p>
<p>Yea the Japs aren’t a great example. The Jew example is much better. They have been kicked around for thousands of years and managed to succeed despite their circumstances.</p>
<p>My point still remains, white people=the devil, thats why they were the cause of almost every single major war</p>
<p>Really, if you want to take a historical approach to this, American slavery is really the starting point of this all, because it placed blacks in a lower class from the very beginning. Abolition did very little to help this (any positive effects were quickly negated by discriminatory policies that imitated slavery and enforced white superiority). Black people as a whole have not had the sort of opportunities given to other ethnicities, and they emigrated to cities, where the trend toward ghettos is more prevalent.</p>
<p>This is why I support affirmative action, because you can’t hope for racial equality to occur in a system where minorities have traditionally lacked the kinds of opportunities available to others. Affirmative action is a policy meant to try to overcome the current race/class disparity.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>But that’s also because the Western, white-dominated world has been the most powerful for the past 500 years or so. I’m sure you could find similar examples if you went further back, to when states such as China, Egypt, the Islamic World, or Rome were all-powerful.</p>
<p>^^ I can’t argue against the war part, it kinda is true.</p>
<p>^NOOOOOOOOOO! Don’t bring up affirmative action, that word is evil here on CC.</p>
<p>^Yes That is correct</p>
<p>brb ignoring the tribal wars that have been going on in Africa since the dawn of man</p>
<p>The fact that the vast majority of your race doesn’t have the capability to start a major war doesn’t mean that you’re more peaceful. A day in a predominantly black school tells a different story.</p>
<p>Hey… a lot of white opposed Reconstruction. Then again, due to the Social structure of America, that was going to fail.</p>
<p>^ And white people didn’t fight for territory?</p>
<p>^ I didnt say black people were more peaceful, I said white people caused more major wars</p>
<p>^ Black people cause more violent crime.</p>
<p>^Poverty does that.</p>
<p>^WW1 and WW2 caused well over 120 million deaths in a short span of time, more than any violent crime in Africa over that same time span. </p>
<p>Reconstruction should have never happen. DuBois was right, Black should get their rights over time and not right away. If Black followed everything DuBois said Blacks may be overachievers since he wanted education to be the way to success. They may not be as impoverished and this thread may not have existed.</p>
<p>^^^ Our abundant wealth and power was the cause of the whole major war thing.</p>
