Do you think Willie Taggart would be where he is (was) if not black?
If the statistics show that black people are treated more harshly than white people, it must be true. Therefore, when the statistics show that unarmed white people have a greater chance of being killed by a cop than unarmed black people, that must also be true. So what is everyone upset about then? The last thing black people should want is equal treatment, things would get worse for them.
Have to be able to read and comprehend what you would be reading first and foremost
I wonder how the cops know the bank account numbers and balances when they shoot people in the street? or when they conduct raids at the wrong address and kill people? is that about how much money you had to get out of crimes you committed?
I’ll play
yeah, the internment camps were a real hoot from what i hear.
But did they bitch moan for 75 years, or make the most of their opportunity. Many blacks folks do take the advantage. Unfortunately the party on the left doesn’t like this. They want you to need them.
No
Oooh Great Question! Again, I come with my personal views & perspective! I will begin by emphasizing in today’s multi-trillion college sports world, if you expect to succeed, you better be diversified; Recruiting!
You seem triggered. Take some deep breaths.
Sounds Great, however, have you ever heard someone say they would not hire, promote someone because of their race? Well, I was such while on active duty! So what do you do, put your head down, be upset & try to find ways to move forward Or quit; because the system have you by the ! No doubt in my mind I would not have spent my last 12 years in the same pay grade! Everyone that makes it there are thousands who doesn’t & this is why we fight!
However, the hire & fire practices of said school, before & after this gentleman, says different!
Yeah I hear you...but what about General Powell or Condolence Rice or Bob (BET) Johnson!
I've gotten more than my fair share of tickets over the last 35 years. Never once did I feel like I was going to have anything happen other than getting a ticket. So I can see that as part of white privilege
Okay. Explain how that is ignorant. Maybe I am ignorant. You’re not providing an reason other than racism and not providing any solutions.
Man every time I read one of your post, I want to give you the benefit of the doubt but you make if so hard!
to classify all the shootings as 'a result of the war on drugs' is so short sighted. you dont think there might be an implicit bias in the system worth investigating. i dont have solutions, but i dont think we can figure out how to solve it if we dont even agree on what the issue is. i think all of the facts need to be investigated in these cases and laid out to determine implicit bias. i feel like it doesnt take a lot to say that we will look for and eliminate programs and policies that drive bias and racism.
You’re looking at surface causes and calling me short sighted. Interdasting. What is at the root of many of the problems in the black community?
Wat? Okay I guess you don’t want to have a real discussion. No worries. Have a good one.
If this is true, I wonder how it became an economic issue? I'm sure it had nothing to do with years of systemic racism and white privilege...
Yeah of course it does. Why can nobody have a conversation about this without being an asshole?
Isn't that part of white privilege though? It absolutely does not mean that there aren't certain white people who have had to overcome more obstacles than certain black people, which appears to be what many on here (and many I speak to in person) believe. However, even with all things being equal economically, there are still advantages that white people have over black people (fortunately there are a lot less nowadays than there used to be, but we still have a lot of room to improve). The term white privilege is also not an indictment on any single individual and isn't something anybody should feel guilty about in my opinion, but it is something that has to be acknowledged to try to move forward.
No i cant but I think those guys realized they made a mistake hiring Willie like many of us thought when they hired him. I think you coudl say Chad Morris had a similar situation at Arky and rightly so. what did he get 2.5?
I acknowledge it exists. I’ve recognized that my whole life. I don’t think it has changed anything.
Gotcha. Sorry for misinterpreting some of your earlier posts in this thread. Many on here, and many I speak to in real life, seem to not be able to acknowledge that white privilege exists because it offends them because they think it means they didn't work hard for what they have or overcome any obstacles in their own lives. By not acknowledging its existence they obviously can't help solve the problem.
