What is the solution to all the racial animosity?

[PickWinnerAllDay]

I agree that the way affirmative action is carried out needs to be changed, although I think you exaggerate.

When minorities see a difference in the way they are treated by law enforcement, there is a problem. When minorities see the difference in how they are treated when they go out with black friends or white friends (or even light-skinned friends), there is a problem.

I went to a bar in Nashville once on a business trip, and they would not let our black colleague in to join us. His "shirt was too baggy". I don't think they'll miss the business of six yankees. Racism is quite real, I promise.

When it feels like white people are out to get you, and they have all the power, don't you think that might breed a little more resentment than the ease with which you can get scholarships? Blame the insane tuition/loan system that makes us unable to work through college these day, not minorities. My parents paid their tuition upfront with restaurant jobs. You can only even come close to that at community college now.

I wish I was exaggerating about the LSAT numbers. I was rejected to Harvard (didn't expect to get in but they sent me a fee waiver) with a 171 LSAT and there is a website that lets you know how other applicants did... 154 URM, 100% tuition, admit into Harvard... URM = under represented male. Granted, I don't know that he is black, but he certainly isn't asian. Asians aren't under represented for a reason... they're smart as hell!

My only point is I'm certainly smarter than the 154 LSAT 'URM'... but Harvard couldn't dare take me over him b/c they have numbers to meet. That seems really out of whack to me, personally... you're basically forcing Harvard to take less impressive individuals just because they have more pigment in their skin. Crazy world...

I remember someone on here made a point that the state/government should offer any male under the age of 25 10k dollars to get a vasectomy. I think this is a great idea. Or maybe even for women to have their tubes tied. It is a nice upfront cash amount that can help them, and the majority of the ppl that will take the offer are ppl that cant afford kids in the first place, so the state wont have to pay for them now, when they go to jail, or when they are older.

Nothing can change it except time.....Alot of racists are older and they will die out

Younger generations are less and less racist...

But there will always be ignorant racists (of all races) just like there will always be people with very low iq's.....And a lot of the time they go hand in hand

Stacked against them? Get out in the real world. If a black person scores a 154 on the LSAT (50th percentile) he is ushered into Harvard with a full ride.

A white guy needs a 175 (99 percentile) to even get a partial scholarship to Harvard.

Any acceptance process basically states that a white person needs to be exceptionally smart and gifted to even be on the same level as a mediocre black person. It is a huge problem and it is part of why there is still racial tension.

You living the good life Kerrywoodswins. What the fukk do you care? You should be happy. That same niggga that took your spot might otherwise be climbing in your fukking window at night. You have it good. Be happy and enjoy life. Keep following behind clowns like fat andy and see where that gets you.

Society has been conditioned to divide. A unified population would be the biggest threat to the elitists who rule your country and the supposedly "free world". Those that rule keep you fighting amongst yourselves. This makes it very easy to steal your life from right under your nose. Here at SBR we follow these doctrines to a T. There are scads of threads that divide. Some are racial, some are political, some are have/have not but they are all divisive.

The easiest way to control a society is to divide them. By race, creed, culture. Socio-economic status will fall into line based upon those divisions.

Divisiveness is usually perpetuated by fear and discomfort. Fear of the unknown. Fear of something different, ie. the colour of one's skin. Fear of being seen as different, less able, not having what someone else has. Fear of losing it all to those you perceive as inferior.

Why do you think they killed the man who preached that "the only thing to fear is fear itself". Because if we all lived by that motto we would be in unison, together. A force they would never reckon with. Not a fukkin chance to control and reap the rewards of another's existence.

We are all equal and no man should fear or envy, copy or be made to judge another. We sell ourselves so short in our ability to realize this.

Takes a ton more balls to accept and love one and other than it does to live in a shell and hate.

Ha! You are one of the better posters here. I'll take your words of wisdom into consideration. I will say this though... I wonder how these schools and these companies feel being told they have to accept a certain percentage of each type of people. Especially when their rankings are based largely on averages of their enrollment class.

another asian shot up a school.

another asian shot up a school.

Im pretty sure African Americans commit more crime than Asian Americans
And im also pretty sure more African Americans are on welfare than Asian Americans.

No wonder black Africa is such a shithole. Blacks are too dumb and lazy to build a country. I wonder what would happen if America and Europe stops donating billions of dollars to black African nations.

[brooks85]

well hispanics have the proud distinction of being convicted of the most felonies a year now.

Nice work.

gladly trade the occasional asian shootout for this

I said this before in another thread. Racism occurs in lower white and black classes, and it's not much of a problem when the black or white is in the middle class and up.

Coincidentally, most of the people in the lower white and black classes are there for a couple predominant reasons. 1. Stupidity. 2. Bad choices. These people are more likely to blame someone else for there problems, which is essentially what racism boils down to, building yourself up and breaking somebody else down (with race, for skin color purposes).

Racists are low IQ people who have proven not to be capable of making the right decisions in life, simple as that. And its a lower class issue predominantly, and since most of America is in the bottom class right now, you see more about racism in the news.

Do you have any stats that prove racists have a low IQ or are you just making shit up?

Because I can find enough statistical evidence to prove blacks have an average lower IQ than other races

More than 50% of whites voted for Obama.

If by "more than 50%" you mean 43%
