Didn't read the OP (sorry OP, I come here for short little bits, and go to other places when I want to read) but I'm totally on your side if it's what I think it is.
Do you mean the good old "BET isn't racist, but WET would be" argument? Well, I agree. Not that it would be racist (unless you consider BET racist), but that it's ridiculous.
This country needs to stop it's guilt. I had an argument with a black friend of mine the other day and flat out said to him "Why should I feel even the slightest amount of guilt about something my ancestors (or probably not since my family's German) did to your ancestors?" which he didn't directly argue but said something like "When has another race been enslaved in the US" to which I replied "There hasn't been. This country isn't as old as let's say... Italy(Rome), whites were enslaved in Rome ALL THE TIME.
My point is.. even though its kinda getting lost there is that there shouldn't even BE "Equal Opportunity Employment" unless it's actually EQUAL. IT IS NOT!
Mega corporations and regular large corporations are almost ALWAYS going to hire the black guy if he's presentable and doesn't talk with a fake street accent that somehow black people only get. Hell, sometimes they even hire them talking like they just came out of a ghetto, and they do this OVER a equally (or more) qualified white man.
I'm sure the reverse happens in the top tiers of these corporations, with the financial managers and whatever the fuck positions they have on their top floors. I believe those floors are filled mostly with white people. But the reason for that is because they HAVE HIGH SCHOOL DIPLOMAS AND COLLEGE DEGREES.
Now that's again not to say a black man can't get a degree. The same black friend I mentioned earlier has a bachelor's and I have a high school diploma, so there's your proof right there. But let's say just him and me went for the exact same job only we took away his college education and he ONLY had a High school diploma. Let's even say we're both equally physically fit (I'm thinner and more agile, he's heavier and more of the "brawn" type). Let's say every single attribute of ours is exactly the same, the same voice, the same way of speaking, only difference is I'm white, and he's black. HE will get that job before I will.
I do admit there is undoubtedly racism in the world today, this country, your state, your town, your block. It's everywhere. That's probably never going to go anywhere.
What needs to disappear is pandering to black people because of something that happened hundreds of years ago.
Unless we have any vampires, I'm gonna go ahead and assume every single slave owner in the United States has been dead for well over a hundred years.
Why am I hearing about this now?
Why can't I have pride in my race, and it's monumental amount of achievements?
Why am I supposed to (I don't) feel guilty about something that happened hundreds of years ago?
Why was Trayvon a nationwide sensation while the 12 year old girl who was raped and murdered by 2 black kids FOR HER BIKE was barely a blip on peoples radar?
Listen black people, African Americans, *other stupid politically correct word* (honestly call me any word you want that isn't a personal insult: cracker, slave owner, white trash, whatever you want) I have a simple message to you: FUCKING GET OVER IT! YOU WERE NEVER A SLAVE, AND YOUR PARENTS WERE NEVER A SLAVE, AND EVEN YOUR GRANDPARENTS WEREN'T SLAVES, SO GET THE FUCK OVER IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And there's discrimination against black people too in smaller companies. So what? Everyone is discriminated against, get the fuck over it.
Fact: 99% of STUPID black people (not including the smart ones here) will consider this post racist, even though I did not say one derogatory thing.
Really, black guys, stop being so angry. Black girls, stop spending 24 hours a day twerking, get a high school diploma or GED, get rid of the FAKE accent you create for yourselves. Stop purposely saying words wrong like "Wal MART" NOT "Wal MARK" you know you're saying it wrong, I don't know if you think you're unique or what, but you sound like a fucking retard. Also it's birthday not birfday, and while we're at it if a word ends in TH its like saying an S with a lisp, it does NOT make a F sound. It's not Fursday, you're not finking. FFS learn English.
There, you can say that was derogatory, the truth hurts.
Sorry to come to your poll with my own grievances and I don't even know if this is what you were talking about, but when I hear anything related to that it annoys me so much.
