Why to then immigrants coming here in poverty worse than blacks do well within a generation while blacks can't despite preferential treatment and quotas? It's their problem and nobody else's.
I knew this thread would descend into racial name-calling and other nonsense.,..I will try to put it back on the right track,,...first of all, Camel Jockey, you have the nerve to talk about PREFERENTIAL TREATMENT???......whites in this society have ALWAYS had preferential treatment..since the times of the pilgrims up until now...YOU CONVENIENTLY FORGET SLAVERY and the JIM CROW laws which said it was OKAY and JUSTIFIED to DISCRIMINATE AGAINST BLACKS...YOU FORGET THE HISTORY OF LYNCHING BLACKS FOR SPORT....what about discrimination which goes on to this day where WHITES ARE SELECTED AHEAD OF BLACKS AND OTHERS FOR JOBS???..whites have always had affirmative action..it was called JUST US....HIRE JUST US..PROMOTE JUST US...SEGREGATE BLACKS AND HISPANICS INTO ISOLATED GHETTOS WHERE THERE ARE NO JOBS and GIVE APARTMENTS TO JUST US...
so to say that blacks get preferential treatment is ludicrous..and stupid....(I am not calling you stupid however)....whites have been getting preferential treatment since America was started..do you deny that?.or is every single white person a hard-worker who pulled himself up from his bootstraps???..impossible....and if you want to talk about quotas and affirmative action, historically, WHITE WOMEN HAVE BENEFITTED FROM AFFIRMATIVE ACTION MORE THAN ANY OTHER GROUP!!!!..or do you want to conveniently forget that because it doesn't fit into your theory???....why do you think there was such an explosion of white women coming into the work force in the 70's , 80's, and 90's???
people like you don't want the facts because you don't want to feel "guilty"..blacks don't want whites to feel guilty...just help to make things better....and acknowledge the above.....but the history clases in white schools don't talk about the above..they put the above into "Black studies classes".....so young white people don't understand since they aren't taught this stuff.....slavery and discrimination is part of WHITE history as well.....but it seems to me you guys don't want to talk about that and acknowledge your OWN history of cruelty and discrimination and instead you want to put the problem off on black people because it's convenient and makes you feel better about yourselves....just like historically Hitler put all of Germany's problems on the Jews because he needed a scapegoat....at least the German people have come to grips with what they did and have apologized....have white Americans done that???...NOW..debate me on these facts and don't hide behind racial name-calling and stupid stuff about white women and black men
