[2damnkwik]

[40idontknow]

WTF Blacks have more opps to them to achieve! A white person has to do these things them selfs and pay them selfs! Nigger please stop blaming whites for stupid younger Niggers! Take you and your black ass family and black friends back to Africa and stay there!

America may accuse others of savagery but really it has no equal when it comes to this, for revolting barbarity and shameless hypocrisy America reigns without a rival. -Frederick Douglas

[40idontknow]

Black are barbaric, blacks comment the majority of crimes, and killings. Blacks are lazy mother fuckers who want things handed to them! If a black person gets fired from a job because their lazy and they dont do what is asked of them, they always say its racism! its because there black! BULL SHIT! The NAACP backs these fucken niggers and that is sad! A white man gets fired because theres not enough blacks or women or mexicans hired, where does he have to turn to? The minority is white man!

[SolomanKane2k8]

@40idontknow,

Blacks comment the majority of crimes? Many people speak out against fascism.

Did someone mention barbarity? Does Hiroshima, Nagasaki, Vietnam, Diego Garcia, Iraq, Afghanistan and Gaza (to name a few) ring a bell? It's hideously uneducated fools such as yourself that makes the USA renown for idiocy.

For revolting barbarity and shameless hypocrisy America reigns without a rival.

[40idontknow]

@SolomanKane2k8 You fucken dumb ass Nigger! If it was not for them wars you black ass would not be free to complain about bull shit issues! Your black ass would not be getting Welfare, you sister shwanequa could not have 6 little monkeys with out a father!

[SolomanKane2k8]

@40idontknow What a hideously uneducated propagandized incestuous fool you are. Learn to spell.

[40idontknow]

@SolomanKane2k8 Stop crying you blacks ass ignorant piece of shit! If you dont like it here go to africa and see how well you make it there! Shit no one will miss you in the states. Go whats stopping you?

[SolomanKane2k8]

@SolomanKane2k8 When you give the Native Americans their land back and move to Europe I will leave America. Mexicans have more right to be here than "white supremacist scum", at least their from the same continent.

You have learned well my fried:

Yours the bourgeois.

[Antiks72]

This system is too entrenched and too corrupt to be reformed. It's time to level this motherfucker.

[freein2339]

The funny thing is both Obama and Dix are correct...The racism is there and the unity is not there and until we stop "making excuses" and start uniting then we will contiue to suffer...But Carl Dix is also correct...the system is straight up racist...

[TeamFortressKilla]

hes right on some level, the schools are messed up, and the criminal justice system treats drug addicts like criminals, but at the same time, rap culutre is a problem and many who are in good schools fail because its not cool to get straigt As and that is what makes white cops dislike black people not just being black, Look at the Asians many come from poor, fresh off the boat familes from war torn countries and yet they achieve great things, youll never hear them complain about the white man.

[Antiks72]

@TeamFortressKilla Whoever said discrimination between the two groups was the same? Asians certainly are tolerated more here.

[member351]

even though i dont agree i believe i see what youre trying to say. something you never forget as dr. michael eric dyson said is the majority of blacks were not immigrants we were slaves. the biggest difference in my eyes is when an immigrant comes over here today they have more rights than some blacks did for 200-300 years. and what never negative stereo types do asians have? really none. so they are more likely to get jobs, less likely to be pulled over by the police etc. 500 character limit!

[TeamFortressKilla]

I live in maybe the most racialy intergrated city in the world (sacramento) but all the other races agree on disliking black people, not because they have black skin and afros but because the culture(stop snitching shirts) and way they talk, I have black friends who tell me this, the best way to sum it up is Chris Rocks "Niggas vs black people". im a minority too and were tired of hearing black people complain when they're the ones who cant pick up a book and learn, cant blame slavery for that

[member351]

i would guess you are hispanic right? well again when most people think of hispanics they think of hard-working people. who work day and night. but again when people think of the majority of blacks they think of lazy, criminalized, baby-making. people that want hand-outs. so again it doesnt not matter how long blacks have been here if we still have negative views pointed at us. blacks in this country and throughout the world blacks are the lowest of the low.

[member351]

also. one way to to how bad is school is is by looking at how many blacks go there. the schools blacks go to are unfunded. and they set us up to go to prison. studies show most poor black people believe in hard and actually have high personal goals but the schools we go to dont have the proper tools to make these goals realistic. and you cant blame blacks for the resegration of schools. (which means more inferiority) today schools are more segragated than they were 30 years ago

[TeamFortressKilla]

really? I graduated from a public school and it wasnt segregaed, I also know many south east asians who were just as poor from first generation families and they succeded in those same broke schools. sad thing is I know many black kids who got straight As and they were ostracized for it, they were called oreos and Careltons, by there peers, they hung out with asians or middle easterners rather than other blacks, agian where I live its very racially integrated. The problem is culture.

[member351]

again we werent immigrants. and no other race has been through what blacks have been through in this country. not even close. people who make good grades arent put down. again black culture has issues but if you examine closely. they have the same values of other cultures. earlier you said blacks wear "stop snitching shirts". yet you have to look at the tension betweeen the police and blacks.

[member351]

just look at bush's aid and former friend (i dont remember his name) but he was condemned for writing a book and "snitching" on bush for his faults. such as the war in iraq. almost i heard a guy say "proper english" is how the elite speak. but who is to say they are "proper". if you go to england and speak "standardized english" they will say "you speak american". every culture has its tongue. but again blacks are looked down on for having theirs.

[ilpleutdansmoncoeur]

great rethoric but no leg work why don't you become a high school teacher? And talk after work, all talk no work. I know I'll ge all kinds of arguments about this comment but seriously can you really move any one to action from a podium. go live in the inner city permanently.

[imopinionated2]

"The way women are treated, as breeders of children...and not as full human beings".....wow, THANK YOU for that! As a woman, I cannot express to you my appreciation to include the challenges that we face, as women. I enjoyed the entire speech, he is 100% correct about everything he says, but am extremely grateful for the words he said in support of women....for hm including women. Thank you.

[imopinionated2]

Awesome! We need more people speaking up like this!

[rdawta]

Dix is correct...the whole system needs to go.

[PeaceAndJustice357]

People forget the Obama story he wasn't raised around Black folks and he's right he gives it resonance. He was raised in Hawaii, Kentucky,and I forgot which Pacific Island. But that's it. Henry Kissinger supported him I just found out

[freein2339]

Obama has a Black family , Black in-laws and unlike most Black people he even listens to John Coltrane....

[anagnostic]

II would argue that some of the most vital, fecund and articulate contemporary lectures can be found under the following searches: Carl Dix, David Harvey, Alex Calinicos, Slavoj Zizek, Chris Harman, Arundhati Roy, Istvan Meszaros, Richard Wilkinson, Kieran Allen. And of course Chomsky.
