This is truly sick stuff... Racist to its core.
Put a sock in it, tweakabelle. Nobody has demonstrated more disrespect for the welfare of the black community than other blacks themselves. It ain't white folks driving into our inner cities at night to paint gang signs on buildings, shoot the place up, and punch a few heads of kids who are trying to do well in school.
K.
Is it sad or tragic to see a succession of white middle aged guys lining up to insist that blacks are responsible for the problems that afflict their communities? That racism by whites doesn't even deserve a mention? You guys sound like any one of looney Right shock jocks here.
If places were swapped, and you guys were the blacks, you would be screaming to the high heavens about the mistreatment, abuse and racism that is the everyday experience of many black people in both our countries. You wouldn't put up with it for a minute. Not for a single minute. Not would I. Nor would almost all white Australians or Americans.
So stop trying to sound moral and righteous about the way you feel. Until you guys are prepared to admit that racism by whites is a significant factor in the issues that blacks face, you are aligning yourselves with the very racists who crimes you omit or gloss over as insignificant in your analysis.
And if you guys are comfortable with that alignment, then that speaks for itself doesn't it?
Fascinating.
What I'm reading in nearly every one of these comments is; "ANY community of people (blacks/whites/Asians/Jews/Norwegians/Russians), down (specifically) to the individual level, are solely responsible in this life for ALL of their successes and failures.
When people continue (of any race) to walk past explosive materials/barrels of gas and they are literally INUNDATED with "FLAMMABLE MATERIALS" signs "DO NOT SMOKE HERE OR USE ANY MATCHES OR LIGHTERS" and they do exactly that, walk right past all these barrels twirling lit 4th of July sparklers and they explode......
Stop blaming the folks who manufactured the matches.
(At least, that's what I'm reading).
If there's a group of people (blacks/whites/Asians/Jews/Norwegians/Russians) who are continually frustrated at why every time they get up in the morning, statistically, they're going to be walking past a bunch of signs saying "FLAMMABLE MATERIALS" signs "DO NOT SMOKE HERE OR USE ANY MATCHES OR LIGHTERS" and they statistically end up lighting themselves on fire because they're (statistically) twirling lit 4th of July sparklers past these very explosive barrels of flammable materials....
....they don't need to pose the question (EVER) "Should I not walk past explosive materials twirling lit 4th of July sparklers past barrels of clearly marked explosive and ignitable fuels because white people, Asians or others don't and it seems to be a far more effective way to get from point A to point B?"
No....because the comparisons are absurd.
They should quit walking past explosive and incendiary devices twirling lit 4th of July sparklers because a) it's incredibly stupid, b) it's entirely unproductive and c) it will dramatically decrease their income producing future.
Race has NOTHING to do with this issue, nor does racism.
Reaching for something other than assured failure by definition of having seen their peers end up exactly where they don't choose to be is the discussion.
You have turned it into a discussion of race.
And that is exactly how to keep anyone who hasn't achieved their best, right where you seem to think others want them.
That's a fundamental definition of just plain fucking crazy.
