ORIGINAL: slvemike4u Sorry Madrabbit,this is simply not true...there is no cultural sanction nor a social sanction on discrimination towards whites in American society....and to suggest this is rediculous Oh really? I guess it's almost as ridiculous and completely unsubstantiated as to assert that "white privilege" exists, but clearly that unfounded assertion isn't as ridiculous as my social observations. But here...check all this out.... So when I was researching business grants, the ones that I found that provided money solely with the only qualifier as being a "disadvantaged" race were clearly fictitious? The "disadvantaged races" included all the minorities. A shame for my poor white friends! They have all the disadvantages, but can't get anything for those disadvantages! Look at this.... http://www.blackexcel.org/link4.htm 200 new scholarships that award money to people solely based on their race! But what happens when someone tries to start a scholarship using the exact same logic and concept, but geared toward solely white people.... http://abcnews.go.com/us/story?id=2674267&page=1 Outrage! We can't give people money just for being white! Watch comedy much? Name one white comedian who is even close to the level of usage of black racial stereotypes as Richard Pyror's, Carlos Mencia's, Dave Chapelle's, and Chris Rock's level of usage of white stereotypes. Feel free to google "racial slurs" and attempt to compare the number of high profile, mainstream stories about "white people getting fired for racial slurs and discrimination" to the number of stories about "minorities getting fired for racial slurs about white people". If you in the first 5 google pages can provide and equal or greater amount of articles that focus their attention on punishment of minorities then the amount of articles that focus their attention on punishment of white people, I will repent my case and change my opinion. So because there are programs in place,specifically to address past injustices and penalties in place again to address past inequities you have concluded you are somehow disadvantaged....it would seem you have given this a lot of thought....I'll tell you what,when you can honestly say you wouldn't mind being black in this country,and please remember you would than be elligible for all those wonderful entitlement programs...get back to me and we can talk. As far as black comedians using racial epitaths,I for one deplore that practice....in most instances it is a cheap and easy path to laughs...but it is self depracating and as such should stop. I am with rabbit on this one. Past injustice. PAST. Get the fuck over it, I didn't do anything to anyone. I've been denied things based on my white maleness, and thats a damn injustice.
