ok first off all of you should stfu about racism and slavery
u no what I'm not raceist but fuck all you that complain none of you were slaves
and unless your really old were even born for segregation so stop fucking complaining
to all those who are racist they have good reason
go to places where 95% of population is under the poverty line look at all the races and see no one wants to offend anyone but its the cold hard truth look at who is in the jails fucking pieces of shit wasting my tax money
and you no what when people say racial profileing is wrong thats a load of crap seriously who commits more crimes am I right or am I right
now how many of you would be aposed to strip serching every arabic person before they got on a plane ya see when its not you its ok
how bout this african-american bullshit
your not african unless u were born in africa I mean common sence
my parents were born and raised in spain they lived there till their mid 30's I was born in the usa that makes me an american that doesnt make me a spanish-american
if your a citizen then ur american now if u are a citizen of an african country then you can call your self an african-american
so I say this IF U CAN CALL ME WHITE I CAN CALL YOU BLACK
how ever I do belive its bad to put everyone of the same race into the same catagory theres good people and bad people
no one alive was a slave.....so everyone stfu......if your grandparents WERE slaves......then still SHUT THE FUCK UP.....its the past.....almost every culture in history has had some kind of slave......and believe it or not, not all slaves were black!!! there were such things as white slaves!!! now, hopefully slavery is an issue the world has come together to fight against as a whole. so shut the fuck up about slavery
Word
Your parents ask "If there is a minority scholarship, why isn't there a Caucasian scholarship?" and there is a simple answer: there are hundreds (heck, thousands!) of them. They are sponsored by Chambers of Commerce in majority white communities, American Legion and VFW Posts with mostly white membership, fraternal organizations comprised of white people, churches in denominations that are almost exclusively white (the neighborhood churches on Sunday morning are among the most segregated institutions in America!) and many other organizations. Their scholarships are aimed at residents of white communities, the children of overwhelmingly white memberships, high achievers in schools that are almost entirely white, etc. In addition, most American colleges and universities have a special affirmative action program that benefits white people highly disproportionately - it's called the 'legacy preference.'
The reason it's so hard for white people to see white 'affirmative action' is twofold:
â?¢ First, it has been around for so long (since before the Revolution, in fact,) and become so institutionalized in how we do business, who we elect to office, where we live, what businesses we patronize, etc., that it simply blends into the landscape; and
â?¢ Second, as a group that has been a majority of the population for so long, and has had so much control of the culture, social organization, political process, etc., white people have the incredible luxury of almost never having to think about race.
We take it for granted that we are entitled to buy a home anywhere we want, run for public office if we can afford to, obtain credit based entirely on our credit history and financial circumstances, get respect from local law enforcement and equitable treatment from the court system, go into a neighborhood coffee shop without feeling 'different,' etc.
Members of population groups who are easily recognizable by some physical difference from the white mainstream simply don't have those luxuries. They must think about their race, their religious faith, their physical challenge, or whatever the difference might be every single day. They know that for every 'uppity' person outside the mainstream who calls the system to account with great fanfare when they feel treated unfairly, there are plenty who are deprived of such redress even when they seek it, and literally millions more who are routinely denied opportunities, ignored, assumed to be less intelligent, less productive, less worthy of consideration, and who simply put up with such treatment as 'the way things are.'
For white people, the 'unfairness' of affirmative action, or minority preferences, or highly publicized discrimination suits, is only worthy of attention when it is brought to their attention, or when it affects them personally. The overwhelmingly vast majority of their time, they are free to forget about the skin color, religious practice, language, and the various physical qualities they share with rest of the group that controls the largest share of America's wealth assets, political power, social influence, media attention, etc. Because they personally may not feel wealthy or privileged, they do not perceive the privilege they enjoy simply by not having to be 'different.'
Comparatively few Americans who are obviously Caucasian, apparently Christian, fully able-bodied, fluent English speakers, ever feel an automatic need to worry about whether they are being lied to by the real estate agent, banker, or personnel officer about why their offer to purchase was rejected, their loan denied, or they didn't 'make the cut' for a second interview. Even with laws that add some disincentive for such exclusions and lies, they still occur all too often in the lives of most people of color, minority religion, physical disability, etc.
For every individual of minority status who benefits from affirmative action, there are thousands who are trapped in neglected, powerless neighborhoods unheard by City Hall, poorly educated in schools that must struggle for the most basic resources, routed into dead-end, low-wage jobs, targeted by 'special task forces' of law enforcement agencies, represented in the court system by overworked or incompetent attorneys. There are millions presumed guilty, presumed poor, presumed ignorant, presumed less competent, identified by their physical characteristics rather than their achievements, aspirations, or skills.
Auntie Pinko is not saying that white people never experience these things, Rick. On the contrary, white people from rural southern or Appalachian communities, from poor urban neighborhoods, and other social 'out groups' often experience something very similar. Yet their response has always baffled me. Instead of making common cause with the other groups affected by America's vulgar prejudices and historically-entrenched social discrimination, they often choose to blame them, scapegoat them, or regard them as inferior or deserving of their disregarded status.
We all do better when the least-regarded among us is afforded justice and equity, and our society is a better place for everyone to live when we work to overcome the effects of hundreds of years of prejudice and discrimination. Affirmative action, carefully implemented in the context of overall social justice for everyone affected by race, class, religion, etc., is an important part of that work. I doubt that any of this will change your parents' minds, Rick, but perhaps it can validate your own commitment to a better future for everyone's children. Thanks for asking Auntie Pinko

yes, but whites can`t use the word white in their titles because one race or the other will call the n.a.a.c.p. or the a.c.l.u. and sue them just because they use the word white in their title or name. thats discrimination whether you want to admit it or not. plain and simple.Quote:

Nobody in particular. I was merely joking, but unfortunately the usage of text as a medium of communication hinders the portrayal of sarcastic tone.Quote:
