Who's fault is it that few blacks visit the National parks?

Asians are kind of brown but for some reason they and Indians(unless they are mistaken for Muslims) never have these problems.
lyman, tighten up your posts. The Capital letter key is the big key right next to your little finger. Then there is the tab key. Never use that key.

You would have someone settle for less than equality under the law? Doesn't sound very American.

It never seems to be enough 'give me' as in more free stuff so they do not have to work.

I have heard that brown bears prefer dark meat, that could be why?

Don't post before your second cup of coffee. They are black because God burnt them.

Sounds like pretty soon the "minority" will be the "majority. Then, maybe I will be able to rant and rave about all the things I find offensive.

Quotas were the furthest thing from my mind. Blacks get hassled for being black in ways that white people don't experience and so if they're going to grasp it, conscious effort is required. That's the message. Now the question is....is that the kind of country white people want to have? Is hassling blacks a flaw or feature of our national life?

are you white?

I am and have been places where I was not treated equally,

and guess what, I stopped shopping there,


there are places I can go in town now that I would be in danger, cause I am white, no other reason, and guess what, some of the black folk that worked for me when I worked in the hood made sure to let me know where not to go in the area,

discrimination is out there, and every where, and not just whitey white bread's fault,

the ongoing theme seems to be reverse discrimination is ok,,, but it is not, actually makes the problems worse

VERY soon! The unrestrained fecundity of "people of color" can't be matched by whites!

Your answer seems to be that discrimination is something to live with, so long as it falls most heavily on other people. What they're saying, in case you're listening, is "some people can't get out from under it". So comparing your one or two rude customer experiences with having black skin, kinda reinforces their point, right? I can't say I see it either. But I do want to understand, because I don't want to live in a country where people get hassled based on skin color. I want to live in a country where we got past that sh*t.

you seem to not understand much unless it fits your narrative,

may answer says it should not be tolerated,

and those that have the 'well they did it to me, so I am going to do it to them' mentality are wrong,


you want to meet a real honest to goodness racist, go chat up a Native American, or a Korean or Japanese person,


they can make the white black arguments sound like a couple kindergarten kids chatting,

and as a key word

quotas



some , are more equal than others,


and not who you seem to expect

Some years ago, a professor from Michigan State was defending quotas for law school. "We find that students admitted under the quotas do just as well as students who meet the admissions standards."

Hold on a moment there, Prof! What you're saying is your admission standards suck. They're no better than random. They DON'T discriminate between those who CAN make the grade and those who can't. Every kid who was turned down because he couldn't meet the standards ought to sue you.

Neither do I. But I don't want to live in a country where people get immunity from violent, destructive, behavior based on skin color--which is not a problem for you.

And you may have noticed, but people ARE being hassled for their skin color -- White people are being targeted.

I remember taking my Dodge Dakota up a dirt mountain road in Wyoming, in indian country, when the transfer case shift linkage broke. Damnable rubber bushing chose then and there to pop out. I was hung up for a bit, but did eventually improvise a solution with duct tape, wire, cable ties, a few other things in the toolbox. But before that fix, I was stuck on a mountain road with indians going by who demonstrably did not give a sh*t about this white man's problems. But they didn't f*ck with me either and I got the truck moving and off their land. That's the difference for blacks. People, including cops, seriously f*ck with them, just because. Can we just say it? It's wrong.

Some say that the reason Trump got elected was by playing on white fears of losing the upper hand, and whatever comes with that. But for all the amazing success of the past 3+ years, how come that day of racial reckoning seems to loom closer than ever? I believe people need a new way of looking at things. What Trump is selling is clearly not the solution. At best it's playing for time so some people can die of old age first.

Sure it's wrong...IF they aren't up to no good. What "people" are doing it? Some cops do it because day in & day out, they're in close contact with black crime, & jump to the wrong conclusions; that's not a sufficient excuse, but it explains a natural psychological reaction.
