A while ago, I was watching some TV show, and a commercial came on for the "NAACP Awards Show" which would include only black people. Why? Aren't we past the differences? I can bet all my money that if a Whites Only award show was presented, it would cause an absolute from everyone, not just blacks.

So, the question is, why does the NAACP awards ceremony still exist? It just shows that blacks want to be in a different category.

What's wrong with just having role-models because they've done something worthy of being a role-model? Rather than because of their skin-colour?


Because its useless telling some black kid growing up on a council estate ''look how successful this middle class white guy who is, who went to a private school and had all the advantages in life''. Whats needed are black role models who had to climb the greasy pole to get to where they are today. This is especially important in britain, because unlike america there is virtually no sizeable middle class black population to speak of.

Y'see - I'm trying to remove any perceived racial barriers by putting forward that skin-colour doesn't matter and you're rabbiting on about how black people shouldn't be expected to look up to White people and that they should have to look up to black role models. And why on earth do you think that the White people get all the breaks? He'll, that were true I wouldn't be barely scraping by on minimum wage right now. If you're prepared to put the effort in then you reap the rewards and the reason that there aren't more black role models is that A. Many black people are told by people like you that they don't have people to look up to and so don't try and b. Even with Africans, Jamaicans, etc - black people are still a minority in the UK.

Thats because skin colour clearly does have an affect on your social position in life.

And why on earth do you think that the White people get all the breaks? He'll, that were true I wouldn't be barely scraping by on minimum wage right now.


I never said that. But statistically there is virtually no black middle class, which is why blacl role models are needed. Whites already have plenty of role models to choose from, in all aspects of public life. This isnt so for blacks.

Many black people are told by people like you that they don't have people to look up to and so don't try and b. Even with Africans, Jamaicans, etc - black people are still a minority in the UK.


So the only way out of poverty for blakc is to look up to white people? I dont think so. Promoting black role models can only be a good thing. Aspiring to imitate white role models is unrealistic. You are clearly going to think getting out of poverty is realistic if you see people from your own community doing it. A point you havent addressed. Emphasising colour too much is pointless, but so is claimng it has no effect on peoples live is equally stupid.

Even with Africans, Jamaicans, etc - black people are still a minority in the UK.


Whats your point?

Well - if we're talking about black people that are born and raised in the UK then you can't expect there to be many black role models and British TV. If you don't like that then either do something to make yourself a role-model or find a country that has more black role-models to fit in with your ideals.

My point is that skin colour doesn't matter - A role model is a role model - if you're in poverty does it really matter who you look up to? I mean does their skin colour really matter? As long as they got themselves outta poverty then what's the problem.

Black People < White People

I'm just saying


What exactly are you trying to say, just wanna make sure


He means black people are less than white people, I think?
'<' in math means more than and less than, the point of the '<' pointing to less than and the 'mouth' towards more than.

Pretty much all award ceremonies are dominated by white people. When blacks win it is an anomaly. Awards shouldn't be given to blacks because they are black.


Ok, so what if white people win awards more?
Ever though about how those people have worked hard to make it there.
And so do those black people who have won.
There are so many damn black actors/artists and whatever, who have won things and are famous, rich etc.

So stop your bullsh*t about not winning anything because they're black and whites rule superior so get first choice.
Because to be honest, I'm sick of hearing about it.

And NO, they shouldn't be given awards because they're black.
That doesn't mean you should be holding your own award ceremonies ONLY for blacks, you are just segregating yourselves, whites have done nothing to push you there, so don't complain how whites are all leafy middle class people (and so many aren't), either way, you can be there too if you work towards it.

My parents didn't get their money by going to the government and saying 'Hi, I'm white, can I have a nice house in the suburbs, and a decent paying job'
No, guess what mate, they WORKED and STUDIED.
And also, guess what blacks living here can do, they can WORK/STUDY too.

'Oh no we aren't winning enough, it's because were black isn't it'
'We have such a struggle living in America/Britain, we can't get jobs because were black'

What a retarded attitude.
If you want to win, work harder, if you want a better job, study, and find one, just like everybody else.
And don't bring race bullsh*t into it, it has fuck all to do with anything.

Title:
Are blacks hypocritical?

And your answer:
they want white people to stop stereotyping them as people who want apologies/crave attention as a community.


If you left your leafy white middle class suburb you might have a chance of understanding that. But I guess thats expecting too much.


look how successful this middle class white guy who is, who went to a private school and had all the advantages in life


Yes. most blacks are hypocritical.
There's your answer.

The fact is, even proportonately there arent many role models. 50% of londoners are non british. Are 50% of london celbrities non british? Not even close.

If you don't like that then either do something to make yourself a role-model or find a country that has more black role-models to fit in with your ideals.


Showing your true colours i see. Dont preach to me the whole 'if you dont like it, move'. I was born here dickhead.

My point is that skin colour doesn't matter - A role model is a role model - if you're in poverty does it really matter who you look up to? I mean does their skin colour really matter? As long as they got themselves outta poverty then what's the problem.


It doesnt matter who you look up to. However kids in poverty arent going to look at white people who had all the advantages in life, and say 'i can relate to that, hes my role model'. They look up to people they can relate to, who went through the same stuff they did.

Ever though about how those people have worked hard to make it there.


I honestly dont care how hard they worked, since they dont come from the same background.

There are so many **** black actors/artists and whatever, who have won things and are famous, rich etc.


Not in the uk, and certainly not in proportion to the population of blacks living in the uk.

So stop your bullsh*t about not winning anything because they're black and whites rule superior so get first choice.


Where did i say that?

Because to be honest, I'm sick of hearing about it.


Odd how you can be sick of hearing something no one actually said. Check yourself into a mental health clinic mate.

That doesn't mean you should be holding your own award ceremonies ONLY for blacks, you are just segregating yourselves, whites have done nothing to push you there, so don't complain how whites are all leafy middle class people (and so many aren't), either way, you can be there too if you work towards it.


Whites havent done anything to push us there? Learn some uk history mate. After ww2 you needed labour to clear up your mess, put us in the slums and treated us like animals for a generation. If all the comeback you get off that is a blacks only award ceremony, id say you get off pretty lightly.

so don't complain how whites are all leafy middle class people (and so many aren't), either way, you can be there too if you work towards it.


I never said they were, but its only the wooly minded whitemiddle classes that make a fuss about this kind of thing.

My parents didn't get their money by going to the government and saying 'Hi, I'm white, can I have a nice house in the suburbs, and a decent paying job'
No, guess what mate, they WORKED and STUDIED.
And also, guess what blacks living here can do, they can WORK/STUDY too.


Primary inequality still exists. Even by the age of 5 differences can be seen. What chance does a kid have if he grows up in a household where education isnt valued, where there are no role models, nothing to do, where the schools are terrible, crime is rampant, violence a daily occurence. Im not saying white people who are successful dont work hard, but they often are the people who have a leg up in life. Just look at the professions(lawyers/doctors/business managers). 75% of them come from white, privately educated backgrounds.

If you want to win, work harder, if you want a better job, study, and find one, just like everybody else.
And don't bring race bullsh*t into it, it has **** all to do with anything.


You clearly have no conception of inequality of opportunity. Go live in a black inner city area for a year or two, and then come talk to me.

Yes. most blacks are hypocritical.
There's your answer.


Accuse me of generalisations then make one yourself. You do realise i dont represent the black community? Fool.

Showing your true colours i see. Dont preach to me the whole 'if you dont like it, move'. I was born here dickhead.


I didn't say 'returneth to whence thou came' did I? I said move to a place that has more role-models that fit your criteria. You have a terrible persecution complex, don't you? You see all white people as getting the good stuff and you as being oppressed - that's not how it works these days.

It doesnt matter who you look up to. However kids in poverty arent going to look at white people who had all the advantages in life, and say 'i can relate to that, hes my role model'. They look up to people they can relate to, who went through the same stuff they did.


I think you're assuming that A. All black role models were in poverty and worked their way up and that B. All white role models are born rich and to wealthy families and with a scholarship to cambridge thrust into their hands.

I honestly dont care how hard they worked, since they dont come from the same background.


More persecution complex - 'he isn't the same as me - nobody understands me WAAAHHHH I bet it's because i'm black WAAHHHH'.

Odd how you can be sick of hearing something no one actually said. Check yourself into a mental health clinic mate.


I'd take a minute to look at what you're actually typing if you can't see how much you're playing up the whole 'everyone treats us inferiorly because we're black'.

Whites havent done anything to push us there? Learn some uk history mate. After ww2 you needed labour to clear up your mess, put us in the slums and treated us like animals for a generation. If all the comeback you get off that is a blacks only award ceremony, id say you get off pretty lightly.


Who also brought said black people from impoverished countries and brought them to a place that almost guaranteed a better life than the one they had back home? The SS Empire Windrush springs to mind - we brought over thousands of people on that who's children and grandchildren now have opportunities they would have otherwise missed out on.

I never said they were, but its only the wooly minded whitemiddle classes that make a fuss about this kind of thing.


You keep referring to the 'white middle class' people - what about the rest of us white people? Don't be so baka and assume that we're all like that - nice generalization konohage.

Where the hell are you pulling these figures from? Your arse maybe? If certain people (both black and white are equally to blame for this) didn't decide to set up <insert race only> streets where people not from that cultural background got bullied and pushed out then maybe cities would be better off. There are area's of Bradford I wouldn't walk through if you paid me because of the perceived 'threat' of us white people. Neither side is taking time to get to know the other and those communities become stale and closed off - leading to a decline in educational and healthcare standards. As well as a lack of community role-models for people to look up to.

However kids in poverty arent going to look at white people who had all the advantages in life


You keep saying this, yet it has almost no value. I would like to start by saying that I am white, and barely hanging on to the bottom of the middle class. My parents worked VERY hard to get here. Probably the best example of how I don't have the advantage is college. My parents saved some money over the years, but not enough to put both me and my brother through school. The government claims we have enough, but it would require my parents to spend virtually ever cent they have. So to find a way to go to college I looked for scholarships. Guess what I found, you can get a full ride to school just for being a minority(or at least get a hefty scholarship). However I can't get money because of the simple fact that I am not a minority. Now who has the advantage?

And thats the issue how? We were talking about role models. I never said it was white peoples fault for there not being enough black role models.

I said move to a place that has more role-models that fit your criteria.


Errm. Why should i have to? Your solution to this problem is suggesting black people move? Now look whos suggesting segregation.

You see all white people as getting the good stuff and you as being oppressed - that's not how it works these days.


Kindly provide a shred of evidence from what i have written to back this up, otherwise shut your mouth.

I think you're assuming that A. All black role models were in poverty and worked their way up and that B. All white role models are born rich and to wealthy families and with a scholarship to cambridge thrust into their hands.


Those are two pretty big assumptions to make about what i think. Statistically though, blacks are much poorer than whites, and have a much harder time reaching heights. Not because of some white conspiracy to give whites more chances in life, but because they are born into wealthier families and so by virtue of birth hav easier access to better education etc.

I'd take a minute to look at what you're actually typing if you can't see how much you're playing up the whole 'everyone treats us inferiorly because we're black'.


Id try and not avoid answering the questions, instead of just introducing a separate personal attack if you want me to take you seriously.

Who also brought said black people from impoverished countries and brought them to a place that almost guaranteed a better life than the one they had back home? The SS Empire Windrush springs to mind - we brought over thousands of people on that who's children and grandchildren now have opportunities they would have otherwise missed out on.


Saying the current generation of blacks have a nicer time than they would have done if their parents/grandparents had stayed home does not negate the fact blacks and indeed immigrants in general were treated like shit until the 1990s.

You keep referring to the 'white middle class' people - what about the rest of us white people? Don't be so baka and assume that we're all like that - nice generalization konohage.


Divide and rule. The middle/upper classes are very good at it. Most other white people are busy complaining its black people who get attention they dont deserve, despite the fact its the system

Where the hell are you pulling these figures from? Your arse maybe?


Sign up for free, log in, and read the article. As nicolas spice puts it, the tale of racial issues in britain is far from edifying, and he also goes into great statistical detail on the proffessions.

If certain people (both black and white are equally to blame for this) didn't decide to set up <insert race only> streets where people not from that cultural background got bullied and pushed out then maybe cities would be better off.


Maybye they would, but i dont see how that addresses the issue of primary inequality i was talking about. Thats a social issue, not an economic one.

Neither side is taking time to get to know the other and those communities become stale and closed off - leading to a decline in educational and healthcare standards. As well as a lack of community role-models for people to look up to.


Id agree with that, but i dont think social integration would wholly fix the primarily economic problems rife in black council estates.

More persecution complex - 'he isn't the same as me - nobody understands me WAAAHHHH I bet it's because i'm black WAAHHHH'.


What a mature response. Let me have a go. WAAHHHH im white, i complain blacks get all the attention because theyre discriminated against, despite the fact im busy singing racist chants on the terraces and voting bnp, complaining they steal our jobs which i cant even be bothered to do in the first place. Gee, isnt making personal attacks/stereotyping fun?

You said that white people get all the handouts and implied that black people got nothing - also implying that this was the reason for the disproportionate amount of White role models.

Errm. Why should i have to? Your solution to this problem is suggesting black people move? Now look whos suggesting segregation.


No - I'm suggesting that YOU move. I get on with people with any skin colour - I don't get along with idiots and racists though.

Kindly provide a shred of evidence from what i have written to back this up, otherwise shut your mouth.


Let's see, you said - "Pretty much all award ceremonies are dominated by white people. When blacks win it is an anomaly."

Those are two pretty big assumptions to make about what i think. Statistically though, blacks are much poorer than whites, and have a much harder time reaching heights. Not because of some white conspiracy to give whites more chances in life, but because they are born into wealthier families and so by virtue of birth hav easier access to better education etc.


In that case why don't you stop complaining about white people that have done NOTHING wrong - you said it yourself, they are born into wealthy families. Is that really their fault? Anyway - I'm white and i'm neither rich nor poor and yet I've never been privately educated. I've also got good prospects for the future. It isn't the money that the you spend on your education that matters - it's how hard you work and how well you plan.

Id try and not avoid answering the questions, instead of just introducing a separate personal attack if you want me to take you seriously.


I don't particularly mind if you take me seriously or not - at this point I consider you on par with a court jester - you provide me with entertainment. It's funny to here you crusade against white people and then deny that you're against white people.

Saying the current generation of blacks have a nicer time than they would have done if their parents/grandparents had stayed home does not negate the fact blacks and indeed immigrants in general were treated like **** until the 1990s.


Would you rather have had them stay in the old country with no prospects and no real hopes or dreams? At least in Britain they are more likely to have a better education. lifespan and healthcare.

Divide and rule. The middle/upper classes are very good at it. Most other white people are busy complaining its black people who get attention they dont deserve, despite the fact its the system


You say that you aren't against white people then speak about 'most other white people' hating on the black people... That's a generalization that shows just how much you think that White people are against black people.

What a mature response. Let me have a go. WAAHHHH im white, i complain blacks get all the attention because theyre discriminated against, despite the fact im busy singing racist chants on the terraces and voting bnp, complaining they steal our jobs which i cant even be bothered to do in the first place. Gee, isnt making personal attacks/stereotyping fun?


If you're going to act like a child when you're making your arguments then I'm going to treat you like one. And again you show the extent of the persecution complex that YOU as a person hold - not black people as a whole - YOU. The attack was also against you and not Black people.

Well this is obviously going nowhere, there's always an argument back for everything from each point of view given

Go live in a black inner city area for a year or two, and then come talk to me.


Have done, and everybody living there, white or black, have the same opportunity in schools as each other, and the teaching is not actually that bad at all.
Same as every other public school I've been to, in London and out.

You do realise i dont represent the black community?


Of course, but I know what majority of black kids are like, I've been to school with them for 3 years
Just the quotes were there to use as example.

I honestly dont care how hard they worked, since they dont come from the same background.


So, what's the problem with a white role model coming from the same background/childhood.
Yes, maybe living/born in a different place, but people can still relate to the situation, whether they're white yellow purple black or blue.

Whites havent done anything to push us there? Learn some uk history mate. After ww2 you needed labour to clear up your mess, put us in the slums and treated us like animals for a generation. If all the comeback you get off that is a blacks only award ceremony, id say you get off pretty lightly


You're right, I don't know fuck all about the history of UK.
But, whatever happened, the past is the past.
Time to move on.
And again, why do blacks feel they need something back for the things that happened?
You don't see the Jews asking for things like Best Jewish Actor ceremonies because of the Holocaust and playing their Jew card, or whatever.

Im not saying white people who are successful dont work hard, but they often are the people who have a leg up in life. Just look at the professions(lawyers/doctors/business managers). 75% of them come from white, privately educated backgrounds.


Ok, but anybody with a richer background has that opportunity, regardless of skin colour.
White people who don't have anything passed down in their family, or money given to them, have the same struggle as blacks to get all the education they need to reach that point or not?


I'm just basing this on the schools I've been to in London, as I have nothing else to go by..
So mainly my opinion is from what I've seen from black kids rather than adults.

Sorry for writing a book. Read it all. I don't care how repetitive it becomes.

There needs to be black solidarity before blacks can even hope of integrating properly into white society.


No offense, but this is bullshit. I forgot the organization but it pushed the views of all African American politicians. You shouldn't push someone's views simply because the person is black, you should push them because you agree with what they are saying. It's like saying "We don't care what his views are, as long as he's black."

white society


Blacks will never be a part of white society. I'm not even a part of white society. Society in general, on the other hand, we can all become a part of. Of course, I understand we are using white society in two different ways. You are using white society as if society still revolves around white people and I'm using white society as any group that remains whites only.

To put it simply, you can't segregate whites and blacks while preaching togetherness. If we give blacks everything they want simply because they want recognized, then we aren't giving them equality, but an advantage based on race.

Because its useless telling some black kid growing up on a council estate ''look how successful this middle class white guy who is, who went to a private school and had all the advantages in life''.


Oh, so you would rather call him a proud n*gger who shouldn't trust the white man?

Whats needed are black role models who had to climb the greasy pole to get to where they are today.


Blacks? Why the fuck do they have to be black? All you're doing is pushing this belief that whites are not suitable role models.

Because its useless telling some black kid growing up on a council estate ''look how successful this middle class white guy who is, who went to a private school and had all the advantages in life''


See, you pretty much said it yourself. It's useless telling a black kid to have a white model.

Thats because skin colour clearly does have an affect on your social position in life.


Skin color plays a role, but behavior plays an even bigger role. Yes, blacks may have to work harder to get a position in a job, but rather than talk about inequality, they should work harder to prove that they are more abled than anyone around them. This is the only way to successfully attack racism.

So the only way out of poverty for blakc is to look up to white people? I dont think so.


Right now you are probably very pissed off at me for what I have said. Clear your mind and understand this.

There are few middle class blacks for lower class blacks to look up to. Lower class blacks want to become middle class. Don't you think they should look up to the middle class as role models? If there's a black family that is middle class, go ahead and look up to them, but if you don't know a middle class black family, why not look up to a middle class family?

You want to be middle class, but you will only look up to middle class blacks. If skin color isn't important, then why the hell do they have to be black? But you aren't arguing that skin color is important, you are arguing that skin color is everything. However, if skin color is everything, then you need to come out and explain once and for all why you're racist.

If you want to be a musician, you look up to a musician. If you want to be a teacher, you look up to a teacher. If you want to be middle class, you look up to the middle class. What's the difference between middle class whites and middle class blacks?

You keep assuming that blacks should only look up to blacks because they are different than whites. You know what? If you want to talk about how different blacks are from whites, maybe we should treat blacks and whites differently, but because I'm white, don't think I will support the black community. If we must treat each other different, I'll choose my own color over yours.

But I don't want to separate blacks and whites. I believe whites and blacks are equals. I believe that anything a white person is capable of, a black person is capable of, and vice versa.

I'm not a musician, but if I was, I would look up to many different guitarists for inspiration, including Jimi Hendrix. I don't give a rat's ass that he was black, he was a master at guitar. I also like Clapton, not because he's white, but because he is a God at guitar.

That's what you should do, look at the accomplishments and skills of others. In war, you must learn to idolize your enemy so that you may accept and learn the tactics they use against you, allowing you to rise above them.

Blacks who are middle class, who do you think the look up to as models? Do you think they look up to Ganster Rappers who bitch about inequality or do you think they look up to other successful people (skin color not included).

It doesnt matter who you look up to. However kids in poverty arent going to look at white people who had all the advantages in life, and say 'i can relate to that, hes my role model'. They look up to people they can relate to, who went through the same stuff they did.


This is why blacks who live in poverty often stay in poverty. This is why they idolize gangsters and other fuckers. Often, these blacks spit at other blacks who are different than themselves. They spit at blacks who are middle class because the middle class blacks generally accept whites and other racists as equals.

If you want to teach these kids anything, then you need to teach them from birth that they must idolize ideas, not people, not skin color, nothing but ideas, skills, and achievements. You may be right about blacks wanting to idolize other blacks who live in the same environment as themselves, but what good is idolizing people who thrive in a poor environment by committing crimes?

You just have to speak the unfortunate truth to other blacks that they can't base their models off of skin color and class. They need to pick a position they wish to achieve in life, and they need to idolize someone else who is in that position. If they want to be middle class, they need to idolize someone who is middle class. If they want to be a gangster, they need to pick a gangster to idolize. By telling everyone that they need a black role model, you are only limiting the people they can choose from to idolize! By telling them to idolize people according to anything but race, you expand the people they may pick from by a hundred fold!

I know I've been going in circles and I'm beating around the bush, but one of these paragraphs should hit you at the right angle to help you understand my point.

Primary inequality still exists. Even by the age of 5 differences can be seen. What chance does a kid have if he grows up in a household where education isnt valued, where there are no role models, nothing to do, where the schools are terrible, crime is rampant, violence a daily occurence. Im not saying white people who are successful dont work hard, but they often are the people who have a leg up in life. Just look at the professions(lawyers/doctors/business managers). 75% of them come from white, privately educated backgrounds.


That's all the more reason to idolize them. Sure, maybe a black will see this and go "No way I'm idolizing someone who had life handed to them," but this is ignorant. If he was smart, he would look at these people and say "I will do whatever I can to get to that position in my life, and give my child these advantages, because I won't accept being called a n*gger by my fellow man."

N*ggers are n*ggers because they accept being called n*ggers by other n*ggers. I'm not calling anyone a n*gger, but when you're black and the word n*gger is thrown around, then all you're doing is enforcing your belief that blacks are, in fact, n*ggers.

I'm tired of n*ggers being a word only ghetto blacks and rappers can use. The only n*gger, in my opinion, is someone who calls others and themselves a n*gger.

If you're black and you're tired of being looked down upon by whites, then you shouldn't look up to other blacks, but rather admire those who you dislike. That's how you win in war, and the battle of life is no different.

Errm. Why should i have to? Your solution to this problem is suggesting black people move? Now look whos suggesting segregation.


If you are tired of living in the ghetto, get the fuck out of the ghetto. That isn't segregation of race, that's segregation of those who want to live in filth and those who don't want to live in filth. If you want, you can move to a lower-middle class community that is mostly black, or wherever you want. Just get out of the ghetto if you don't want to live there anymore.

Those are two pretty big assumptions to make about what i think. Statistically though, blacks are much poorer than whites, and have a much harder time reaching heights.


This is because blacks make up most of the ghettos. It's these blacks who choose to spit at whites. It's these blacks who are the most racist. No offense, but most blacks who live in the ghetto are also racist. It's this hate and whining that whites should give them an unfair advantage that keeps them in the ghetto. Rather than work hard like the white man they scoff at, they choose to be lazy, sell drugs, kill people, and join gangs, all to avoid becoming like whitey, all to avoid becoming successful in the same manner whites have become successful. And when a black man works hard to become middle class, those in the ghetto look away from him because "He isn't really black."

So please don't use the statistic that blacks are generally poorer than whites to support the fact they have a harder life. It's the blacks in the ghetto who gives all blacks a bad name. The blacks who aren't poor are part of a sad statistic. The middle class black is the minority who suffers the racism of their own race. If blacks weren't so racist, these blacks would be trusted more. Then again, middle class blacks don't act like dumb fucks. If you actually talk to successful black people who worked their way up, they may tell you they fought through some racist moments, but you just have to keep working to earn your respect. Yes, I have talked to black people who are middle class. They are hard workers and even if they do have to work harder than whites, they end up being respected more than the whites because after a while people stopped looking at their skin and instead at their skill.

I honestly dont care how hard they worked, since they dont come from the same background.

DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND HOW GOD DAMN IGNORANT THAT IS?!

"Oh they are different, so I can't use them as role models."

Fuck you. Nobody has the exact same background, and looking for people who have a similar back ground as you will only limit your options. If a person works hard to become upper class and started at middle class, why can't you learn from them? "Oh, they weren't lower class, so I won't look at them and go 'oh, maybe I should work hard.' all because they didn't start at the same position as me."

What you said is SO GOD DAMN STUPID. You are absolutely close minded! I admire Penn Jillette because he questions everything. He started out middle class. I admire Leonardo da Vinci, whom started out poor as dirt. In fact, he didn't have a last name. da Vinci is "of Vinci", the place he was born. I admire Alexander the Great for his wits and his ability to control whatever situations he is thrown into. He was born into royalty.


I DEMAND YOU READ "48 LAWS OF POWER".
It's a whole book about achieving and keeping power. In it, the author uses examples of powerful people ranging from Cleopatra to a man who started out as a stable boy and became king. It even talks about people who never really achieved power, but used their influence to get out of tight situations.

Divide and rule. The middle/upper classes are very good at it. Most other white people are busy complaining its black people who get attention they dont deserve, despite the fact its the system


Bullshit.

in black council estates.


Because black council estates are racist.

WAAHHHH im white, i complain blacks get all the attention because theyre discriminated against


No, generally they aren't discriminated against. Whites will, however, refuse to hire blacks who dress in pants that they can't keep up. It's a discrimination against a sloppy personality, which is fair.

Oh wait, never mind. You probably wont even consider what we said to be right because we aren't lower class blacks and don't know what we are talking about. Right?

Thank God that NoName stepped in there - I went off at a tangent and wasn't particularly good at getting my views across but I feel similar to NoName on the issues raised in this thread.

Be peaceful. Ignorance isn't a sin.

Actually, when can people stop dividing people with skin colour? When all the people is colourblind?
