"Hi, I'm black. I don't like to fess up to anything I do so I'm throwing the race card out there."
Say's the white guy who has never been discriminated against
Yeah, white people NEVER get discriminated against
I think you may have missed my point. I'm sure there are a few white people out there that have been discrminated against at some point but I think it is safe to say that black people are discriminated against on a daily basis.
I have seen first hand how some of my friends who are black have been treated in certain situations based soley on their skin color.
I don't know how they handle it to be honest. I asked them how they just let it slide because I would be livid if it happened to me.
They just say it happens all the time and they are used to it.
Look at the evening news. All you see reported is the crime and violence in the inner cities.
All of the crime in the suburbs goes unreported. It's not as sexy to show a woman with a black eye after getting her *ss kicked by her husband as it is to show some dead black kids laying the street.
I was an MP in the military and there are 4 guys who I served with that are now police officers and they told me on more than one occasion their views on black people and how they couldn't wait to get out there and get in the mix so to speak.
I know most of you guys don't want to hear this stuff and will probably blast me. I'm just saying that discrimination based on skin color happens all the time.
If you are white and only hang around white people you will never see it first hand. It is not a pretty sight to see a true friend discriminated against.
Let the crushing of my post commence

I agree that black people get discriminated against more than white people, but white people do get discriminated against.
From Andy Rooney on 60 Minutes:
I don't think being a minority makes you a victim of anything except numbers. The only things I can think of that are truly discriminatory are things like the United Negro College Fund, Jet Magazine, Black entertainment Television, and Miss Black America. Try to have things like the United Caucasian College Fund, Cloud Magazine, White Entertainment Television, or Miss White America; and see what happens...Jesse Jackson will be knocking down your door.

Hehe..never. Just let me try to get into Dartmouth. And when I don't, it won't be because of my intelligence (I have a 3.7 something GPA in my current college).

This is one of the worst arguments ever. I can't believe you quoted Andy Rooney
There already is White entertainment television. It's called ABC, NBC, CBS.
Look at the shows. 95% white people. If all these shows had 95% black people you would want a channel that had shows where people look like you too. Do you watch the WB? Probably not, right?
Wow, this just shows how much further we have to go. We are saying it is a bad thing for a certain race of people to have magazines and TV shows that show mostly people of their own skin color.
You guys are so used to having everything catered to white people that it bothers you when minorities create something for their own people.
United caucasion college fund?? Can you say missing the point??
White people ALREADY get the benefit of the doubt. There is no need for a caucasion anything.
And for the white guys that say they can't get into a certain college because a black person gets their spot all I can say is how does it feel?
That's how black people have felt for the last 100 years.

You're missing my point. All I said was that white people do get discriminated against sometimes. That was in response to the post saying that white people never get discriminated against.
As I stated, I agree 100% that black people get discriminated against way more than white people.

Oh, sorry man. I did say in one of my posts that I know in some cases white's are discriminated against.
I am pretty much done with this thread. I made my opinions on the subject and will have to agree to disagree.
I don't think I have ever been in a thread that has been locked. No need to start now.
