With all the uproar of racial issues currently going around the nation, it could only mean one thing. That is, white people feel they are loosing power, and thus feeling threaten, unconsciously or not. By publically and explicitly showing racial issue of black displaying power over white, U.S society creates an illusion of the shifting of power to black, when in fact, white people are still holding the dominant forces and powers in the institutional and structural levels of U.S society. Statistic shows that white people will no longer be the majority in 2050. So the question is what will white people do to maintain dominant powers, and making sure that these powers persist in society even when they are no longer the majority in the U.S?

But that would make too much sense! We must have power distinctions based on skin pigmentation!:x

Sharing powers? that would be socialism. The U.S is not a socialist country.

Why do you want a racial war? Why do you want to tread on the dreams and memories of Dr. King? Why must you dash my rainbows into the dirty, dirty depths of disillusionment and despair? With our current system of government, there is no racial power majority.

Well white people are the only ones who know how to use power right..... right..... WRONG! We live in a sort of democracy where we all have equal opportunity and thinking so either way were still in the same bind.

It isn't an"uproar of racial issues" - it's just that we've FINALLY reached the point where we laugh at the "it's because I'm black" thing because it's been used a billion times and it is ridiculous anyway. Obama, the governor and a congressman of New York, Skip Gates - when they find themselves in hot water, even when it's of their own making, the "it's because I'm black" thing comes out. People aren't willing to just keep quiet and let it go anymore. They respond to it and now the media sees that as "an uproar of racial issues". The white kid getting beat up by animals on a bus just serves as a background for all these other things that came along around the same time

AND FOR GOD'S SAKE, CAN WE PLEASE FINALLY GET THE MEANINGS AND USAGE OF THESE WORDS CORRECT!!!!!

You forgot:

but on topic, I don't think so, but then I don't think any one person/country/nationality/race/whatever should have more power over another.

Cuz the TP is afraid of anything different and guns just aren't enough anymore since they invented punishment for hate crimes.

They clearly need to invent hate guns, which would be more powerful and different than regular guns, and are only useful in or in response to hate crimes.

The disparity between the quality of life of whites as opposed to other races is financial more than anything else. That financial disparity is largely due to the racial history of the United States. Legally, people are generally on equal footing, so I think it's only a matter of time before the financial gap is closed as well. But more importantly, white Americans, especially young white Americans, do not consider race to be important. Although young black Americans are moving toward "post-racialism" as well, there is still a deeper connection to race among blacks then among whites, generally speaking (i.e. the "black community"). In future decades, whites will no longer be the majority race, but neither will any other race. Most of the country will be either white or latino, with a significant black population as well. But that won't really matter, because race isn't important to my generation. So to answer your question, whites are not in cahoots with eachother trying to stay on the top of the pile, it has just turned out that way because of history, and it is destined to change in the future.

Of course not. Just look at Congress and you'll see that white people still hold most of the power.

Whites aren't losing any power, it's just that other races are more respected and listened to now. There probably won't be a time where another race will have more "power" than whites (or be more popular perhaps?), just that other races will have the same power as them in general.

Please tell me you're joking. The uproar of racial issues is due to the media and left wing polititians looking for votes (i.e. you're racist if you make fun of Obama, and even if you don't agree with him).

Your still going to hear "it's because i'm black" because there's still racism. If someone is being discriminated because of the color of their skin then that person who is being discriminated against needs to speak up. You sound bitter because blacks express their minds and whites somehow think they cant because they are scared of being called racist or whatever. How dare you try to turn a racist situation into it just being a person complaining. Pathetic.

So... just because white people are protesting about something unrelated to whites losing* power... they are upset about losing power? Anyone else find that stretch to be... very far?

lol, yeah its freaking awesome! I especially love the part, right after the lines you mentioned:

Chris Rock: "White people aernt loosing s**t. There isnot one white person here tonight that would change places with me ...... AND IM RICH!!! There's probably a 1 legged bus boy up in here saying 'I don't want to change! I'm just gonna ride this white thing out and see where it takes me.'"

Why does it matter which skin color has the most power?:?

I think that's pretty elementary thinking, if you ask me.
