Is it screwed up that as a black person... I found this fucking hilarious?

Its funny because... well, its kinda true. I think we shouldn't be so quick to call things "racist" on a whole, really. I just think its hilarious and I wound up cracking up at it. The reality, the sheer truth, is that that's kinda what happened.

Black people were given a dream of being anything they want. For some like Obama and Michael Jackson, it happened. For others, they grew up poor, saw no real way of accomplishing their dreams, and ruining their lives. For some people, not just the dream of Martin King Jr, but the American Dream on a whole, sadly, is dead and eaten by Gengar.

Gengar, you jerk....

I'm not sure Michael Jackson is really the best example here...

There are just as many trashy good for nothing black people in this country as there are good for nothing white people.

I disagree. While the raw number of murders might be comparable, the percentages with respect to the race population suggest that blacks commit murder far more often. Furthermore, blacks kill whites more than twice as often than whites kill blacks. Source

Maybe someone can dig up the cite for me, I remembering reading that if you control for wealth and the trend reverses and whites become more likely to kill.

[–]StableChaos 4 points5 points ago

Your implication is that deficient black wealth is an uncontrollable byproduct of an unfair "white-privileged" society. This, in turn, produces murderers. I contend that both poverty and murder are co-occurring social factors and that both are often caused by a breakdown of family structure. Black families are breaking down faster than any other racial group. I further blame the urban African-American culture which is permeated with gang activity, vulgarity, and vanity. I feel this culture has deteriorated from a generally respectable status since King's time.

[–]UnixCurious -1 points0 points ago

No, you can demonstrate this easily be showing that amongst equally poor whites the murder (and likely family degradation) rate is the same. I really doubt that trailer trash has a lower murder rate than poor blacks.

I admitted this in my first post :)

[–]coottenhimer -4 points-3 points ago

do you think that is because black people are killers or because most people born into a broken and poverty stricken home are black? It's true that blacks commit murder more often but it's because that more black people are in the ghettos than white people. and I blame that on suppression.

Several years ago I graduated from a public magnet high school which had won awards ranking it among the top hundred in the nation. The philosophy behind a magnet high school is that special care is given to attract very good teachers and have plenty of opportunity while at the same time gentrifying the "ghetto" location it was situated in. The population was 50% base (mostly inner-city blacks) and 50% magnet (mostly whites and asians). Placement in classes was purely academic and I, wanting to have a respectable education, took mostly higher-level honors and AP courses. Though base students had every chance to take these courses, they didn't and I found myself almost exclusively sitting next to magnet students.

American society in its current state has done everything to help "bring up" poor black communities. I don't see the same programs devoted to either "white trailer-trash" populations or "latino ghettos". In my experience, the majority of the "black ghetto" population is that way because they don't want to take on the responsibilities or exert the effort to pull themselves out of poverty. They don't want to integrate with the rest of society even if given the opportunity.

Your concept of suppression is so warped it speaks to your ignorance of your surroundings, history, and the conditions of the rest of the world. It is insulting for you to throw that word around so callously in the face of true suppression which does exist.

You could eliminate the middle picture and still have the same effect.

It'd be more sad, less amusing.

But more realistic unfortunately.

I could swear I know the one in the middle with the white sunglasses. If it's who I think it is he is actually a pretty cool guy. He plays the drums.

Why the fuck would this be down-voted? He's just saying he thinks he knows the guy.

[–]NovaDeez 1 point2 points ago

Because he's obviously just a racist who thinks all black people look the same.

I see. I guess I was hoping that a link with so many upvotes wouldn't be so overtly racist.
