I hate the way in which some black people always carp on about slavery. Yes, it's a reprehensible act, nonetheless should the fact that your ancestors were shipped from Africa 250 years ago stop you from progressing in the present?
This is my own subjective view, but I reckon the reason why blacks are the poorest race in the US is due to attitude and nothing more. If you seek about bettering yourself and helping yourself then blacks would move forward in America.

The deeper level of poverty amongst the black population in the US- and elsewhere- is much more complex than you think. It has a lot to do with prejudice- just what you are showing here- and lack of equal opportunities for non-whites. There is a vicious circle of poverty-bad education standards- school dropouts- crime that perpetuates this situation. And although things have dramatically improved in the last 40 years, there is still way to go.
Actually, it would seem that he can, and does. About everything. Randomly.
Really everybody should help themselves when seking help. Thatcher probably used it because it's common morality.
Of course there is prejudice. Nonetheless, blacks have the SAME RIGHTS IN SOCIETY as whites!! Ergo, there is no legal impediment to a black succeeding.
Because legal impediments are the only ones that exist, right?
Tell you what, onenatcons. Why don't you go in to London, and find the Canada tower at Canary Wharf. Now, legally, there's no impediment to you going to the top and chucking yourself off in an attempt to fly, is there? So... what's stopping you?
Now re-read what you have put...
The impediment isn't a legal one, but one of prejudice. It is this prejudice which prevents equality and not people's rights.
Perhaps if people treated everyone equally then blacks (and other minority groups, it should be pointed out) wouldn't be able to use their minority status as a stick to beat us with.
Unfortunately, as you say, prejudice does exist. What you seem to have missed though is the effect that this has. You seem to want to blame blacks for their plight rather than accept the effect that prejudice has.
Nonsense. The black college (i,e. university) population of the USA is 11%. This figure equates with the number of blacks ove the age of 18.
Why do same dicks I see in real life congregate on net too?
and
Make your mind up, please.
Becuase you have to read your own posts, and look in the mirror.
Again you haven't read what I posted. I said that if people treated everyone equally then there wouldn't be an issue, but I also reflected on the real world where this will never happen.
You are the person who seems to have trouble acception this, not I. There is no equality.
I've already warned you today about personal insults.
You're making this board a place that no-one can hold a reasoned debate, and no-one will want to use.
This is your final warning. Stop it now or you're banned.

Therefore what piece of legislation stops blacks in the US from having rights?

DO A SEARCh!!!.... in this thread no less.....
I'll make it easy : There is no legislation to stop them. Any hinderence they may encounter will no be legal.
Incedentally...
"some black people always carp on about slavery"
I've never heard this. Ever.
If I ever heard this i think my first question would be "who enslaved you?" and my second would be "have you thought about going to the police?"....
I will agree that bad attitude is a defining factor in whether some-one does well or not, but i don't think bad attitude is purely found in a particular race-group.
They are? What about hispanics?
Many "blacks" have set about "bettering themselves and helping themselves" (hideous phrase) and now a substantial black middle and upper class exists within the US; they have significant economic and political power.
So, to summarise, onenatcon, in this thread you have:
- Stated falsehoods
- Mass gross and incorrect generalisations
- Contradicted yourself, possibly because you don't even know what you're saying, it's just a stream of nonsense
How much more bizarre are you going to become? In some ways you're worse than steelgate; at least he was consistent.
If you want proof then it's below and was taken from the US Census 2000.
BB, should maybe be a shortening of "thesite's Big Brother"?
oneatcons, it scares me how much disaster can make people get along...
:yes:
Steelgate was/is totally brainfucked, but at least he could stay with his stand.
The thing seperating the two of you, is that you can't make up your mind, nor make any sense.
People who regulary disagree here, are all agreeing about that fact.
Bravo. :yes:
