Issues surrounding "White America."

[IAM Rand]

This thread may end up getting taken down, but I am hoping BigMyk will come here to discuss issues with White America or Americans that are white or whatever. I am not standing in a glass house throwing stones at the black community and welcome any discussion on how BigMyk thinks I am a racist or bigoted in any way. I am willing to discuss how we can improve relations between the black community and the white community.

Come meet me Myk to discuss openly what we can do together.

[IAM Rand]

And once again nothing from BigMyk. Expected, but disappointing.

Maybe he missed the thread.......

Why would anyone have a genuine discussion about this?

Michael Medved had a segment this afternoon about being racist and he played a song from a play that said "we all a little bit racist" and "if we'd all just admit it, we'd get along better" or something similar.

I think one of the main problem is how some people fall into group think. Many "blacks" think in terms of "we were slaves, we were discriminated against, etc." when they may have lived a privileged life, at least better than me. I think of myself as an individual, responsible for my own actions. Like many of European descent I too probably had ancestors as slaves, downtrodden and taken advantage of. Unless they were nobility, if so I didn't get the memo.

The fact that Obama was elected, not once but twice by "racist white America" and it doesn't factor into the equation is all you need to know to demonstrate it's just victim hood and playing the blame game to excuse your actions, or inactions.

BigMyk had wanted me to condemn whites and/or White America for the same things I was condemning blacks for doing. I am here waiting for whatever he wants to talk about. I think the bottom line is racism is racism. Doesn't matter what your color is. There is no reverse racism. It gets difficult to discuss these issues because if you try to have an honest discussion of the issues you get called a racist if you say something that someone doesn't like. Myk has called me a racist. How does one refute that he/she is not racist? List the number of minorities that one knows? I can call Myk a wife beater. I don't know him other than what he posts here. I believe based upon his attitude that he beats the krap out of his wife. How does he refute it?

[IAM Rand]

Oh, sorry BigMyk. Should I have made several paragraphs there? My bad.

OK, I'll probably get called a racist, but here's my view.

You cannot have a legitimate discussion with someone whose world view revolves around them being victims simply because of the color of their skin.

[IAM Rand]

That or their family history. What does it matter now if I had a family member that was a slave owner, Nazi, or a member of the KKK (which I have none of in my family). It shouldn't unless I am like that too.

It's no ones fault except the person they see in the mirror. It's just easier to blame white white people.

I'm a minority and this is how I see racial issues.
Educate people to get their heads out of you know where sun don't shine and stop listening to liberal propaganda. Liberal agenda is truly what has and is the root of so called "racial" issues in this country. Liberalism does not want to empower people nor want to help minority people move out of poverty, but rather want to keep on making excuses and create a system where people in poverty would never be able to get out of it.

[IAM Rand]

The problem is the people standing in a group of trees. All they see are the trees, they don't understand that in fact they are in the middle of a big forest. To put it so BigMyk can understand it. People in poverty can't see that the liberals are really suppressing their ability to better themselves. Giving poor people, minorities and non-minorities, handouts keeps them poor. If they decide to get off their butts and work then the government cuts their benefits to the point that they cannot afford to work at a job and eventually better themselves. Same with the school. Certain groups do better in school and others do not. What do the liberal schools do instead of trying to bring the poor performing students up, they bring everyone else down.

Sorry Myk, I am sure I should have had a paragraph or two there huh.

This reminds me of an episode of "Speeders" I Saw some time back. Two black males pulled over for speeding. The trooper is back at the unit running their info while the camera guy is at the driver's window. Camera guy asks "Do yoiu know hwy you got pulled over?" Driver says "Man it's because I'm ...." pause "Man I don't know man."

I'm reasonably certain that the first sentence was going to end with "black". The problem was, it was a black trooper that pulled him over.

put this in Colorado, but felt that it also deserved a spot here.

Probably all rich white girls with no ethnic sensitivity. Dang them all to hell. Send them to a sensitivity training gulag.
