One of the most hilariously amusing things about blacks is how they talk about how they're so tough physically and mentally. And you white people better not say this or that word around them or they'll kick your ass. They're manly and macho. Etc.
And a minute later they tell you how they're these soft weaklings that were oppressed by powerful white colonialism. Helpless victims. Docile pacifist people who were exploited.
Lol
The only reasons for the colonization of Sub Saharan Africa is first.....evil ass racist white folks. Second...they had a better weapon at the time (guns and cannons).
No black person has never ever said they were weak and docile. You just said that lying BS...
Now...try saying that to my face or any grown black man and see how weak and docile we are? If we were so weak and docile, why did you bring 18 million of us to the Americas to work for free?
Blah, blah, blah. white conservatives ended it. you should be more grateful as those folks died for your freedom. libs, on the other hand…
Your using a strawman argument here - I don't believe and didn't suggest white people are monolithic. I'm the son of a high school dropout immigrant, and only 1 of my 3 siblings graduated high school. I recognize that some white people faced adversity too.
The difference is that those biases against white subcultures were not government driven, were not part of our norms for multiple centuries, and those who were subject to those biases were more easily able to assimilate and be accepted because their "otherness" was less evident over time.
I'll bow out of this exchange now, because I think where each of us stands is clear for all to see.
If a poor white kid applies to a college with the same test scores as a rich black kid the black kid will get the slot.
The difference is the biases in 2023 favor the black kid.
Two wrongs don't make a right.
According to you most blacks are poor, come from broken homes, violent, have felonies and stupid. So they possibly couldn't get into college because they are qualified, let alone graduate from college or even go on to become leaders in every field.

As if blacks didn't fight for their freedom. I guess they were invisible to folks like you trying to change history.
Always a white guy claiming to be the savior of black people.
White conservatives are for the most part then and today racist. They were the Democrats for most of American history and are now Republicans since the late 1960's.
As one example: In 1944, John Rankin, the chair of the House Veterans Committee, successfully lobbied for states rather than the federal government to administer the benefits from the GI Bill. Rankin was a hardened segregationist and didn’t want federal benefits going to Black veterans in the south.
To that end, in 1947, only two of the more than 3200 VA home loans in Mississippi went to Black home buyers. Throughout the post-war era in the New York suburbs, more than 67,000 VA home loans were made, but fewer than 100 to non-whites. Making it easier to buy a home is a substantial difference maker to your children and grandchildren decades later. The policies may have been nearly 80 years ago, but the effects are still felt today.
And then the government tried to right this wrong by demanding banks give out home loans based on skin color and feelings instead of credit score and we got the financial crash of 2008.
Government sucked at everything in 1947 and it sill sucks at everything in 2023.
Neither CDOs nor teaser rates were created in response the former racist government policies of the past.
Criminal sentencing is another area of current racial disparity: correcting for the crime itself and criminal history, Black people are sentenced to about 20% longer sentences that white people.

I cite actual statistics.
Your inferences are your own.
Did you say you cite actually stats? I fell out of my seat when you said that farce of a statement.
We all know that you think most blacks live in poverty, (17%) isn't most. I think you flunked stats in college. Clearly you didn't go and as stated earlier you don't even know any black people.
LOL...your level of racial ignorance is next level.

You invent a thought you say I have and then claim it's wrong.
If you weren't stupid you would see the flaw in that tactic.
When and where have I ever said "most blacks live in poverty"?

Now he's talking tough again about how blacks are so manly and and tough as nails. Hard! You can't mess with them!
Give it a minute he'll turn around and try to tug at heart strings with tear jerk sob stories, about how his black people were helplessly manhandled by whites who took advantage of weak blacks
One minute they're bad bad Leroy Brown, the next min they are like helpless damsels I'm distress, all soft and vulnerable

Geez y’all are really into this. Pretty funny back and forth discussions. So, back to the subject of African American studies, you have to believe blacks are good at everything, such physical strength, IQ, parenting, peaceful nature, contributions to the human civilization, etc? If anyone dares to acknowledge weakness in any area, the only possible reason is because they are racists?

That about sums it up.
And if a black guy who's been arrested 9 times receives a harsher sentence than a first offender white dude the only possible explanation is "RACISM" as well.

I don't see that anywhere. Can you point to where that idea is clearly stated?

“with similar criminal backgrounds”
With some effort and practice, I’m sure you can get better.

It’s my quick summary. I admit it is not perfect as the discussions on LetsRun had become very broad and deep. Let me know you disagree with any of the following statements: Blacks are tough and strong, individually and as a group. Blacks have very high IQ. They just don’t care about tests. Single parenting is commonplace. Blacks raise kids and emphasize education as well as other races. Blacks are not violent because other races commit violent crimes too. There are more crimes committed by blacks just because the justice system is not fair. Blacks fought in World War II. Like white people, Blacks liberated Asians from Japanese. Unlike white people, blacks didn’t use atomic bombs. Blacks are good at music. If Mozart was black, he would’ve been one of many street artists.
If I take African American studies in the fall, what grade can I get out it?
