I don't get what you're saying. Are you saying black people are defective and therefore the same rules should apply to them as to the kid that was born deaf? You're comparing apples to oranges here. Being black does not prevent you from succeeding in school. It doesn't prevent you from finding a job, and it doesn't prevent you from being rich. Have you watched basketball lately? What about Oprah? Bill Cosby? Chris Rock? James Earl Jones? (who by the way is black AND had a speech impediment (stuttering) throughout his childhood)
Garrett Morgan invented the gas mask, without which we'd have been in DEEP shit in world war 1. Do we say he was a great BLACK scientist, or just that he was a great SCIENTIST? My vote is for the latter, because specifying black implies that he's an exception to the rule, that most black people can't achieve anything like what he did. I refuse to be racist like that.

This must've not sunk through correctly over the internet. First of all man, I'm black muh damn self so NO there's no way in hell I am saying my race is "defective." By bringing up the whole handicapped thing, I was talking about MINORITIES, not defects specifically. I was saying that since people born with disabilities are minorities, and ALSO given alike "awards" or whatever, why don't you sit around and complain about how THAT is unfair. I'm not saying that blacks are mentally challenged or defective; you spun that shit around to make it seem like something it completely wasn't and managed to put words into my mouth at the same time.
I also fuckin like how you bring up that you think blacks are no less better off than whites because there are SOME successful black celebrities. And you mention Oprah, thank you... Oprah is representing to the FULLEST. But oh wait, she's the not only the first WOMAN to be as rich as she is, but also the first AFRICAN-AMERICAN. She's the ONLY one out of tons of whites; don't act like this is cause for all black people to jump up and exclaim that there are still not racial problems in this country. The fuckin' FIRST black actors and actresses to win Academy awards (after SEVERAL were snubbed) JUST won TWO years ago, need I remind you. And James Earl Jones? Unfortunately, he's one of the most underrated actors; he gets no attention. Have you seen him in anything substantial besides a Verizon commercial lately. Oh wait... now that I think about it, he gets to be the voice of Darth Vader again in the next Star Wars... OH MAN I'M SO EXCITED! Man, blacks sure are moving up, aren't they shakran!?
It still baffles me this idea that well, ok there are some successful black people, that MUST mean things are better in this country, right? PUH-LEASE; give me a break.

Well let's see. MLK day. Black history MONTH. Special awards only for black people. And you wonder why people still look at black people differently? It's because there have been such frigging HUGE efforts to emphasize that they ARE different! Maybe if we started realizing that we're all humans rather than going through life with the dumbassed notion that a black person is radically different from white people, we wouldn't have the problems you're griping about.

Newsflash: MLK day faced years and years under consideration and faced huge amounts of scrutiny from people not wanting it made into a national holiday. It wasn't made an official holiday until the late 80's. And you're right, that doesn't discard the fact that it is a hugely great achievement; I'm not saying anything like that. But again, don't try to make it seem like King was assassinated, the country mourned, and he was given a holiday weeks later; no it took nearly 20 years. And while this is trivial, Black History Month
is the shortest month. OK LMAO I just had to say that; I really could care less. But anyways, what do people learn about in BHM? I know we might have talked about Harriet Tubman and MLK when I was in high school. And I'm sure you're one of these guys who just HATES that there is a BHM. Lets also not forget that in the state I live in, which puts the most criminals to death out of ANY state, JUST put two white men on death row for the killing of a black man maybe 4-5 years ago. This is, after thousands of blacks are on death row for the killing of whites. There have also been several pardoned in recent times after it was proven they have spent 20 something years behind bars, waiting to die for a crime they didn't commit.

Again, unless you're suggesting that black people are retarded, you are comparing apples to oranges. The low-IQ kid does not have the capacity to compete on the same level as those with normal IQ's. The average intelligence of a black person is NOT lower than the average intelligence of a white person. Please stick to like-comparisons if you're going to be racist.

I believe I covered this above, so I'm not going to again...

And I find it hilarious that you think getting called "African American" as opposed to "black" is "moving up in society."

I find it hilarious too... because I didn't say it! I dunno what tha fuck you are talking about... 'nuff said.
Quote:
Boy, you do like to read a lot into what I say. Might I suggest reading the posts with greater comprehension next time. I have NEVER said ANYTHING to indicate that I feel black people can't do anything without handouts. I would never say that. Sorry buddy, but the racist here is not me.

Boy, you do like taking things out of context. What you are responding to about the president line was a general statement and really the only thing I was even saying directly to YOU was what I was replying to what I QUOTED you as saying. I too could have disected and quoted everything you had typed up. I wasn't even talking to you then... it was a simple statement. Calm down killer.
Quote:
No, the fact of the matter is that YOU ASSUME because the kid is WHITE that he's a punk ass stirring up trouble. You have no way of knowing for real (did you talk to the kid? Did he tell you his motives?) yet because he's white, trying to mess with what you think should be a black award (but which was NOT specified to be a black award) --
|
Again there your silly ass goes putting words into my mouth, which by the way you suck at. I like how you tell me what it is I assume. I don't give a damn if the kid is Orange. He was a PUNK ASS kid period. Stop trying to make me out to some racist bastard. I NEVER said "the WHITE punk ass kid..." And wait, do YOU know the kid? Why don't YOU go and ask him since apparently you're all-knowing.
Damn man, you've got me typing up a damn novel, mostly replying to words that were put into my mouth and things taken out of context.
Quote:
You think because he's white that he's being an asshole. That sounds awfully prejudiced to me. I think a good long look in the mirror is necessary before your next misplaced rant.

OH
MY
GOD
You've got to be kidding me; again you put words into MY mouth. Hey man, if you want to talk for me, hit me up with a PM so I can let you sign in and do all this typing for me because this is plain rediculous. And why am I looking into a mirror? I don't get it. You took what I replied personally and you shouldn't have. This is the internet, and it ain't that serious man. I mean damn, not only have you been on the defensive for the entire three pages of this topic, but you've also made sure to share your thoughts on the issue in the custom status text that shows underneath your nick on the boards. *smh*
