Party trumps Racism?

Someday black people will be attacking liberals because they help feed into that mindset.

It should piss people off!!!

I can see racist imbeciles, like Miss Tique, throwing Orea Cookies.

I bet Miss Tique will call a hispanic female married to a rich white man a sell out.

If I were black it sure as hell would piss me off that liberals have tried to paint my race into a corner and I should do what they expect.  Of course having a mind of my own and wanting to be successful in life I would be labeled an Uncle Tom.

I think the problem is what I referred to earlier - the black leadership who panders to that mindset.  There is absolutely no reason blacks or any other minority in this country can\'t succeed.  I have a feeling that it is their own leadership that wish to keep them trapped in their dependency on welfare and their lack of education by blaming it all on racism.  This of course is due to money these leaders receive from certain action groups.  In my opinion it is criminal.

It\'s their lot in life. *ducks*

The Economist is right on the mark as usual on this:

An excellent, excellent article.

All this suggests that Mr Cosby is on the right track. Researchers routinely explain Asian children\'s success in terms of Asian cultural values. So why not admit that black children are failing because their culture undervalues success at school—because so many black children dream of becoming sports stars rather than professors, because bookish black children are stigmatised for “acting white”, and because almost half of black ten-year-olds spend five hours or more each day watching television?

Mr Cosby\'s diagnosis of black failure has another great merit. It comes with a remedy attached. Black America once had a flourishing tradition of self-help: the tradition of Frederick Douglass, who was born into slavery but became one of the great orators of his age, and of the army of self-educated blacks who came after him. This tradition was obscured during the civil-rights era as black leaders concentrated on dismantling the machinery of discrimination. But blacks desperately need to revive Douglass\'s belief in “self-cultivation” if the civil-rights revolution is to amount to something more than a hollow legal shell.

Why are those only important to the minority? Does the white man not want medicare or welfare?

The thing is republicans see wasted money in those programs when it could be going to schools. There however are some good welfare programs, but the people that abuse it ruin it at the same time.

There are more white ppl on welfare than they are black. They just only seem to mention minorities all the time. Go figure.

Are you basing that on percentages?

[CHIZZY]

Blacks comprise only 12 percent of the nation, they comprise 37 percent of the welfare rolls.

DO THE MATH

Numbers.

I wonder how many Asians are on welfare. How come it\'s always Black/White/Hispanic? Asians are truly the invisible race.

wtf? same thing

i really don\'t want to discuss this, as it\'s been done a million times already..yes it\'s possible for afri americans to be successful, but let\'s not be blinded here...afri americans will always have to work twice as hard for that job or house so don\'t fool yourself...i don\'t care how much education you have or how much money you have...some institutions will still look at that successful black person and still see nigger...

there\'s a reason affirnative action is in place....because there are still racist white people in area\'s of power that need to be checked period. do i wish we had affirmative action?..no but it\'s needed...as far as black people callin\' successful blacks sellouts? i\'ll only call them that only if they talk down to where they came from..they act like they are better than any other hardworking afri american workin\' in tha same hood that they came from...

i\'d be happy if any of my menz became really sucssesful,..but for them to do a total 360 on me? i\'d have to take those tight ass khakis offa him and hit him upside the head with a pair of tims and some baggy jeans....

I don\'t think that\'s true. That black people perceive they are at a unique disadvantage is what holds them back. Racism applies to all minorities. Nothing prevents a black student from acing the SATs, climbing up the GPA ladder, or writing good college essays. He has only to judge where his priorities lie and apply the drive. It may be harder for black people to attain the highest positions in his chosen profession, as it is for all minorities, but that does not explain their poor performance in education. You did not want to discuss this clips, and I know as an outsider I may be making unqualified assumptions, so I apologize in advance.
