Your point in saying what you said means nothing unless you provide something else to go with it. That's great that there's already an app. It's not widely known and doesn't hold the same gravitas as Diddy creating one

So your point in saying it means nothing unless you provide something else to go with it.

???

Info on the existing app?

What difference does it make who creates it? If anything it's more empowering if it's not a celebrity, but a "regular" person. Furthermore, the existing app is no little thing, seeing as it has over a million users.

Diddy creating that app is entirely different from a regular person because he's Diddy. Known by MILLIONS

So in order to reach "millions", the app has to have a celebrity name attached? If so, then HOV and Puffy just need to co-sign the one that already exists, cause they are just names and wouldn't be doing any of the actual work. From what I understand, the woman that created OBWS started on her own and researched/vetted the first thousand or so business herself.

No. It's potential to spread to people is far greater with the product being created by Diddy and Jay for obvious reasons. They have millions of fans. Not just one


They're not required to co sign anything. And both can exist. I don't see how you're making it seem as if this is a bad thing.

Damn shame I have to search to find a picture of this bombing suspect. Not a single national media outlet has it up on their website last I checked

No need to search. When there's no picture, you know whodunit

Of the 27,891 Census tracts he looked at, 3,252 experienced "white flight," which he defines as a neighborhood losing at least 25 percent of its white population between 2000 and 2010. These tracts experienced "an average magnitude loss of 40 percent of the original white population."

"Whites continue to leave neighborhoods with significant levels of non-white residential growth," he reports.

Strikingly, Kye found that, "relative to poorer neighborhoods, white flight becomes systematically more likely in middle-class neighborhoods at higher thresholds of black, Hispanic, and Asian population presence.

"Race not only remains salient in middle-class neighborhoods," he writes, "but motivates white flight to an even greater degree relative to those same effects in poorer neighborhoods."

racism is a power dynamic exercised through institutions and social applications

I don't understand it.

Racism (white supremacy) is a system which dominates these 9 areas, none of which black people, or any non-white people for that matter have any control of

1. Economics - black people cannot be racist in an economic system. We cannot deny white people loans, or housing, or business opportunities based on race.
2. Education - black people cannot be racist in an educational system. We cannot deny white people education or segregate schools based on race.
3. Entertainment - black people cannot be racist in an entertainment system. We cannot "blackball" white people from fields of entertainment based on race. We do not control any major media outlets
4. Labor - black people cannot be racist in a labor system. We cannot deny white people employment based on race, with legal backing.
5. Law - black people cannot be racist in a legal system. We cannot deny white people equal treatment under the law, or pass laws to deny them equal treatment based on race.
6. Politics - black people cannot be racist in a political system. We cannot control who gets to vote, gerrymander, influence voters with dog whistles, etc based on race.
7. Religion - black people cannot be racist in a religious system. We cannot influence the minds of millions, such as the Vatican, large (white christian) mega-churces with religious dogma based on race.
8. Sex - black people cannot be racist in an intimacy system. We cannot keep white people from mingling with other races intimately/sexually and threaten them with violence if they do so based on race.
9. War - black people cannot be racist in war. We do not have any monopoly on violence, nor do we control any industry that produces weapons, whether its small arms or weapons of mass destruction, that can kill other people based on their race.

Can black people be bigots? Sure, but black people cannot be racist because racism (white supremacy) is a system that dominates these 9 areas. Not something as simple as calling someone names.

So are you suggesting the most successful minorities support this ideology?

I can't tell you who supports what, only they can. I can say that if they (or any black person) doesn't understand how racism (white supremacy) works "everything else that they think they know will only confuse them - Neely Fuller, Jr."

 

[tay1]

To further simply, racism is an ideology that has infiltrated all facets of society. This ideology has even made it into positions of power that affect us. There are racist judges, law enforcement, doctors, lawyers, and so forth. That affects black livelihood. It's embedded in the institutions and structure of social life

The belief that one is superior was their ideology from the moment we were snatched and brought into this country, therefore they created it. Basically it's an ideology they created and we can't partake in because of our position in this country .

If you don't get that above ,just ask yourself this. Say that you believe that black people can be racist. List the effects of this supposed racism on white people verses the effect it has had on us for hundreds of years.
