You're not even intelligent enough to realize the abject irony in every single thing you post. you're either incredibly stupid or lack any sense of objectivity, whatsoever.

Oh, and please convey my condolences to your dad for having to grow up as a white man during the civil rights era in Alabama. I mean the thought of what he had to go through makes me shudder. And you, too, the things you must've endured. I'm so sorry.

It is possible to intertwine valid observations with bigotry.

For instance, two people can note a valid correlation of crime with minority population densities in certain regions and reach different conclusions as to why those conditions exist. I disagree with his conclusion, that doesn't make the observation invalid. Hope that makes sense.

His overarching tone is sanctimonious IMO. The way he's commenting on an entire culture in that manner is the very definition of bigotry.

lol. But what about the most salient point he should make(if his argument were in any way valid), but doesn't? That is: what about post slavery African immigrants to America?

If his hypothesis is correct, then it should logically follow that these immigrants would show similar rates of poverty, education, violence as native born blacks. However, they are more likely per capita than native born whites to: 1. Not be arrested or convicted for a violent crime 2. Graduate from HS. 3. Graduate from college. 4. Attain a graduate degree.

And poof,there goes his argument. But I'm sure some of y'all will still be apologetic to his points and continue your racist tendencies. And that's ok, cause this is America. But at least have the decency to admit that instead of scapegoating science to justify your bigotry.

Yes, but specifically which observations in the OP are valid?

I have no idea what you and your Aggie buddy can't see. But of course, make yourself feel better by calling those not "offended" as racist or bigots.

If you think liberal social engineering programs are working well,fine. I don't. And to counter your comments, then I guess you are a "bed wetter."

Certainly there is some validity to the claim or assertation to institutional racism. If given a choice I would imagine most people would prefer to be born in the suburbs as innercity. But its not "racist" to not want to blame everything negative in the innercity on "whitey" . Many failures in the innercity , jail time,out of wed-lock births are due to poor attitudes and apathy.

If you want to hold the inner-city unaccountable for many bad decisions, go for it. But those who question the same old,same old but "leadership and one's one actions are racist.

Dude. You're completely missing the point. From what do you gather that I don't want said demographic to hold themselves accountable for their actions, or that I think social engineering programs are working at the status quo?

I could write a book about how govt programs and forced integration have ruined the black community and destroyed the black middle class; But that is not the point.

lots of racism but stereotypes aren't always racist. Sometimes they're true.

Like, black people are athletic. That's just true. There's research studies on it.

Asians are smarter. I could probably find a link or 2.

The issue is when the stereotype has hatred hidden in it's context. THAT'S what I view as racism.

I mean, this is the actual definition of racism

quote:

a person who believes that a particular race is superior to another.


So reading that definition, how is what four three forty said racist?

That's called "prejudice."

no research needed. american slaves were literally bred to work harder and faster. But not all blacks in the world are descended from slaves.

Asians are smarter


Are they? Is it nature or nurture? What asian demographic are we speaking of?

I didn't say it was racist, I said it was fricking stupid.
