Yep, they are all over. The common denominator is indeed cultural differences - but they admit themselves through racial distinction. And that is not something that is uniquely white or uniquely black. There are racist institutions in the south just as they are present in the majority black urban megatropolis'. Racism, to the extent that it exists, does so for two reasons 1. Because we historically see racial archetypes largely through stereotypical lenses and we psychologically separate out individuals, with whom we interact and like, as the exception to those stereotypes. To you, Boyst, brothers in the aggregate might always be what you remember from an nwa video - failures of the broken black family's ability to inculcate a sense of moral responsibility into their progeny and the strongest evidence yet for a slam dunk Charles Murray acquittal. Maybe. If I'm in the south and I see a white cat with leaves and **** on his jacket, sporting a mullet, wrangler jeans, and a fish hook on his hat, I might think he's trying to get his James Byrd on, Maybe. It's along the margins of those "maybes" where thinkings can be changed. Maybe. 2. Most people who haven't had exposure to anything different continue to not have enough exposure to anything different in order that they might meaningfully care to change or challenge their own existing paradigms. That leaves exposure to different groups in the care of celebrity personalities and the ever-present-football-player-rapists. i see both of those changing because that outmoded thinking is being outpaced by the ubiquitousness of social media. I see it being a couple of generations away. Maybe. Anyway, I went to to an Ivy League graduate school. It it doesn't matter which one. What does matter is that, (other than my pale skin brothers) it was me, another brother, few sisters, and a rack of Asians there in the early 2000s. Anyway, I was asked by an L1 that I was mentoring whether or not I felt a unique pressure to perform well in order to avoid the appearance that I was there to fill out a quota. "Bruh ... I'm 'order of the [mother!@#$ing] coif.' What's this pressure of which you speak?" Then I was asked when I was a student panelist discussing the Bakke decision whether or not I felt that the African-American experience in higher education was adversely impacted or otherwise trivialized by the reality of an admissions architecture that wasn't entirely meritocratic. "Sister girl, I'm in the 170+ club, get the fack outta my face with that dumb ****." The point? We all see too much color. Its even a underlying theme in some of the qb posts on the main board. We rely too much on soft stereotypes in how we view people. And then we qualify people based on those. You do. I do. We all do. When we're ready to stop that ****, we can move on to that colorless society that people blab on about. Juror, welcome back! I hope you're set up for a great holiday. No idea how we get to the "colorblind society" until a vast majority does individually on their own. But I expect we're actually close to there. The experiences that color my world lead me to believe we're really close. YMMV. (And I MIGHT have had A beer too many after my hockey game tonight (but don't tell anyone :p).) Keep being a great dad to your daughter and don't be such a stranger. Merry Christmas (4 days early)!

Keep being a great dad to your daughter and don't be such a stranger. Merry Christmas (4 days early)! I wanted to address this to Juror with a well thought out post several hours ago, mostly agreeing with him, but didn't feel I had the clarity to get into a serious conversation. I question whether or not we want to be a "colorblind" society. Do we really want to throw us all in a blender or do we want to evolve in a way that we can celebrate and rejoice in our differences? Taro T, you are a good poster and I hope you contribute more here at PPP.
B-Man Posted December 23, 2017 Posted December 23, 2017 Here’s Tucker Carlson’s handy list of 100 racist things from 2017. Is your favorite on the list? The insanity of the identity politics-obsessed left becomes increasingly apparent as you work your way through the list. It’s a reminder that the goons carrying tiki torches and pretending to be cast members in a revival of Triumph of the Will in Charlottesville aren’t the only group in America utterly obsessed with skin color. When I reviewed Mark Lilla’s The Once and Future Liberal back in September, I asked “Can the Left Escape the Identity Politics Trap?” The answer, at a minimum, is not anytime soon. 33
Tiberius Posted January 9, 2018 Posted January 9, 2018 Their genetics? Wow, he's a Republican alright https://www.thedailybeast.com/gop-lawmaker-apologizes-for-saying-black-people-abuse-weed-because-genetics A Republican Kansas legislator apologized late Monday night for employing openly racist logic to explain why he believes marijuana should remain illegal. “Marijuana is an entry drug into the higher drugs,” State Rep. Jim Alford said at a legislative “coffee session” over the weekend. “What you really need to do is go back in the ’30s, when they outlawed all types of drugs in Kansas, across the United States. What was the reason why they did that?... I hate to say it, was that the African Americans, they were basically users and they basically responded the worst off to those drugs just because of their character makeup, their genetics and that.” No black people were among the 60-plus attendees at the event, The Garden City Telegramreported. “I apologize, I regret my comments and I sincerely apologize to anyone whom I have hurt,” Alford later said in a statement, according to the Telegram, emphasizing that he was just referring to “damaging effects on the African-American community.”

Tiberius Posted February 19, 2018 Posted February 19, 2018 Not the NHL! Buffalo news today has the story of a racist harassment of Capitals player in Chicago. These "fans" only knew Smith-Pelly had a darker shade of skin than them so they hated on him. Just shows how ignorant racist are. That's the thing about these people, they judge everything by skin color, nothing about the content of person's character, their human capital or who and what they think. It's just colors and that it with them. I watched the Sabres-Ottawa game the other night and before the game the Sens had a promotion about how "Hockey is for everyone!" It went on and on, I thought, about every group that could play: girls, all races, disabled, transgenders etc. I just wanted to watch the game and thought, ya ya, lets go. But it is important to speak out against the haters and to encourage people to join in.
row_33 Posted February 19, 2018 Posted February 19, 2018 US NHL cities hand the front row tickets to thugs and idiots who pound the glass and get into it with the players. One fool in Philly fell into the penalty box with Tie Domi after words were exchanged and received 14 rights to the head for his efforts. in Toronto these seats are sacrosanct for agents and others spending $750 and then they sit in the rich man’s bar for the first half of the 2nd and 3rd and leave the seats 80 percent empty

He even had a wife who wasn't proud of our country until he got elected. She even got caught saying "All this for a flag"? But, that's Chicago for ya. 1

One Capitals player, by one Blackhawks fan. Chanting "basketball." I'm going to start chanting random words at people, just to see if I can get people to cry "Racism!"
