pkronfield: Your blanket statement, "Blacks, in general, are extremely racist", is untrue, unfair, and, in my opinion, not worthy of who you are. You might say there are factions and currents in the black community that tend to drag down the mindset among some, including some blacks, regarding who blacks are as people, what they stand for, what some have accomplished and what most hope to do with their lives, which tends to be about the same as everyone, for they, indeed are part of everyone, which is as it should be.

pkronfield: Your blanket statement, "Blacks, in general, are extremely racist", is untrue, unfair, and, in my opinion, not worthy of who you are. You might say there are factions and currents in the black community that tend to drag down the mindset among some, including some blacks, regarding who blacks are as people, what they stand for, what some have accomplished and what most hope to do with their lives, which tends to be about the same as everyone, for they, indeed are part of everyone, which is as it should be. Many feel that no one should be coddled or allowed to insist that any their group needs to be given special treatment, and this is because special treatment undermines a group's self respect and tolerates individuals who tend to drag everyone else down, including beyond that special group. Now arguably, special treatment is an inevitable part of politics, but then the argument centers on what type of special treatment can raise the level of society as a whole. For example, tax benefits for home mortgages and for charities tend to provide pathways of hope and accomplishment. Another example is the argument over affirmative action, how it should be applied, for how long, how can it be kept most fair, and how can the need for it be diminished by, say, improvements in education which really work rather than just perpetuate or even worsen the apparent problem.

I say blacks tend to think race first. When I meet a black, I don't think".. huh... this guy's a black..", my first thought is who's this guy. The black in America likely thinks, " heeer's whitey. What does he want?"

The Democrats invented the entitlement society solely as a vehicle to get votes. It was the worst thing they could have done for blacks, and was the single most important reason for their continued poverty and lack of education. It appealed to the basic human nature (why should I work and go to school if everything is given to me?). It was a grand plan, befitting my fellow Texan, LBJ, as the blacks are still enslaved and incredibly ase still voting for the slavemaster.

No other minority has this problem. You don't see latinos on the dole with their hands out. They're working their butts off. Asians are getting wealthy on our wonderful system. Only blacks would allow their city to be destroyed, go looting and murdering in the flood, and make no attempt to rebuild. Then to add brainlessness to misery - reelect the idiotic black mayor most responsible for the mess. Did the blacks vote for this idiot because he was the best qualified for the job. Nope. They voted for him because he was black. That's racist. Did the O.J. jury find the murderer innocent because he was innocent? Nope. He was found innocent because he was black. That's racist. Other countries do not have this divide that has lasted a couple of hundred years. Only here in America with half the country liberal democrats. As long as you have so many liberals you will continue to have racism on the part of blacks because it perpetuates the power of the liberal democrats.
