i usually don't get into the racial stuff on NT, but if i can ask seriously, do white people really think like this??? not calling you racist or anything, but does the average white person really feel like black people "have it made" in 2012???Originally Posted by golfinguru11
Im going to try and sound as non-racist as possible. But basically, white people (Americans in particularly) treated blacks horribly for a long time. To make up for that injustice, over the past 50 years whites have tried to make up for that by giving blacks inherent advantages (public housing, affirmative action, etc.). Some of it worked to help them, and some of the programs did not. In any case, blacks still think that they are not equal. They (Not all, but a lot) think whites are out to get them, and therefore they hate them. This may have been the case 50 years ago, but to a large extent it isn't the case anymore. The fact that we have a black president should be an indication to that. Does that mean that there is no racism at all ever in the world? NO. But to be truly equal, blacks have to stop having a chip on their shoulder. If you feel like everyone is out to get you, then how can you ever become equal? Like, get over it. I am Jewish and the Germans killed over half of my people less than 75 years ago. Slavery was almost 200 years ago btw. My great aunt has a stamp on her arm with a number from the concentration camp. Like cattle. Like a slave. Does that mean I should hate every German I see? If I go to Germany should I be given special privileges?Originally Posted by WaitWut

im sayin
every week i see at least 1 thread always about how black people got it harder or tryna blame white people as a whole for something that has nothing to do with their situation
ignorance is bliss is guess
Blacks get into college much easier than whites with affirmative action. If they are fired from a job they can often sue an employer for discrimination/unlawful termination (it has happened to friends of mine). In todays society, things have largely been turned around. People may say "Oh but whites still have all the money" well thats because they make up more than half of the population, compared to just over 10%. Im kind of ranting here, but just trying to say that while there may be no real thing as "reverse racism" blacks definitely have it made in 2012. Im sick and tired of hearing stuff from people. Blacks and whites both. Its ridiculous. The world isn't perfect. Please get over it. Live your lives not in jealousy over what others have/are, but be appreciative of who you are.
