KKK endorses McCain: "A black President would go against just about everything we stand for"

[Ban Hammer 13,349]

Sure they can. I'm just not willing to characterise an entire section of our society as well as the problems and inequalities endemic to that population (perceived or otherwise) on the basis that those people are lazy.

The US economic system generates abundant economic prosperity for all.

Not everyone can be rich, but nearly everyone is capable of achieving a

modest and comfortable lifestyle with enough hard work and initiative.

I firmly believe that both the causes and the solutions to poverty lie within

the individual. We cannot change the cards we're dealt, but we can choose

how we play the hand.

AMEN!!!! Personal accountability is a novel idea.

especially around vj.

any color isn't racist but white.

if i say something about black people, i won't get introuble but if you're white and say something you'd get introuble :rolf:

Funny how #6, Fancy Pants, maviwaro, Len and co never seem to address that. Ever..

Little boy... race and racism are about power, not about skin color. Go to the library (it's a place with lots and lots of books); grab the works of Peggy MacIntosh, Ruth Frankenberger, Shirley Steinberg (white women by the way); bell hooks (nee Gloria Swanson), George Sefa Dei; Peter McLaren, Henry Giroux, Jim Cummins, Stephen May, Joe Kincheloe (white males), Himani Bannerji, Gloria Anzaldua and many other scholars and read up, then write a dissertation about racism and discrimination in education today. I already did -- but I will sit here and wait to be enlightened by you and your "theories" on race, racialization, its relation to poverty, the end of racism since there is no slavery anymore, the desire to remain living in the ghetto, etc... Please, enlighten me, you 6'1" scholar of scholars.

Some prefer to keep academic discussions to academic circles - unlike other who need to flaunt "credentials" and then look like they barely completed grade 4.

Have a goo'day, mate.

Correct brother. Specially when reading comprehension is not usually executed well enough.

In theory - there's nothing wrong with that.

As I say - I'm just not willing to justify a rationale to dismiss an entire social group as lazy - or indeed as "backward" as you did in your post in the other thread.

All African Americans? Or all poor African Americans?

I think "entire social group" is socioeconomically identifiable. Otherwise he would have written 'an entire racial group.'

I only said that African countries were backwards when we invaded them.

Are you saying they weren't? Their primary social structure was tribal and

sectarian, and warring tribes were the leitmotif of their society.

I suppose that is true- most West African tribes, that is. Perhaps that's why colonization took longer in more organized regions that had kingdoms much older than most European settlements began. Yet it still doesn't justify taking advantage of it, right? Of course, those are today's values imposed in relativistic fashion to the historical record.

Somehow, nevertheless, you can't claim that today's problems in said regions have gone forwards without a little contribution from those that took advantage of a situation that expanded so as to feed the demand of the New World colonies.
