You racist!

THAT, to me, is the stinking pits of hell of racism. "awww, you poor little helpless black people - it's ok for you to live in poverty and crime, cause ... WHITEY!!!!!" Meanwhile, of course, the liberals expect minorities to vote for them because "we care".The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

Originally posted by Cow Poke View PostThis is what really burns me up about liberals - that they think minorities, especially blacks, are too stupid or dependent or lazy or incapable of rising above their circumstances, and somehow, the liberals have to be good 'handlers' and make excuses for them instead of demanding excellence. And, what's worse, is when their OWN betray them by getting rich being poverty pimps, fighting whitey, but doing nothing to better the condition of their own. Yeah, Rainbow Jesse comes to mind.

Originally posted by Cow Poke View PostIn the NFL thread, some of our more lustrous liberal lunkheads keep comparing the NFL protesters to MLK. I think this just underscores the fact that they don't know SQUAT about who MLK was or what he stood for.
I think, if MLK were alive today, he'd be astonished at some of the tripe that is offered up in his name, or attributed to him.
He didn't just spend all his time "blaming whitey" - he dealt with the hard issues, as in this speech. He made it clear that the reason so many blacks were being arrested in his day is because they were committing so much of the crime.
I get SO TIRED of the liberals marching MLK out to use as their poster boy for "blame whitey".

Originally posted by shunyadragon View PostActually I will "blame whitey" for a long history of slavery (penal servatude extended into the 20th century), race riots in major cities (like Wilmington and Chicago) that burned our and expelled black communities in the 20th century, forced segregation, exclusion of blacks from employment opportunities through most of our history since slavery ended. wide spread lynchings in the south, exclusion of blacks from the post war benefits of housing and education, Profiling and violence against blacks in law enforcement, and biased prosecution of blacks in the legal system.

Originally posted by Terraceth View PostSure, and people in the past do deserve a lot of blame for some of those things. But are they the reason for increased crime? Thomas Sowell has repeatedly argued that we can't blame most of those things for African American crime rates because their crime rates went up after many of those things had ceased (or at least decreased).
Despite the grand myth that black economic progress began or accelerated with the passage of the civil rights laws and "war on poverty" programs of the 1960s, the cold fact is that the poverty rate among blacks fell from 87 percent in 1940 to 47 percent by 1960. This was before any of those programs began.
Over the next 20 years, the poverty rate among blacks fell another 18 percentage points, compared to the 40-point drop in the previous 20 years. This was the continuation of a previous economic trend, at a slower rate of progress, not the economic grand deliverance proclaimed by liberals and self-serving black "leaders."
Ending the Jim Crow laws was a landmark achievement. But, despite the great proliferation of black political and other "leaders" that resulted from the laws and policies of the 1960s, nothing comparable happened economically. And there were serious retrogressions socially.
Nearly a hundred years of the supposed "legacy of slavery" found most black children being raised in two-parent families in 1960. But thirty years after the liberal welfare state found the great majority of black children being raised by a single parent.
The murder rate among blacks in 1960 was one-half of what it became 20 years later, after a legacy of liberals' law enforcement policies. Public housing projects in the first half of the 20th century were clean, safe places, where people slept outside on hot summer nights, when they were too poor to afford air conditioning. That was before admissions standards for public housing projects were lowered or abandoned, in the euphoria of liberal non-judgmental notions. And it was before the toxic message of victimhood was spread by liberals. We all know what hell holes public housing has become in our times. The same toxic message produced similar social results among lower-income people in England, despite an absence of a "legacy of slavery" there.
