Oh, I'm sorry, did you think racism was dead? The sad truth inside.

"According to a National Opinion Research Center survey in the early 90s, over sixty percent of whites believe that blacks are generally lazier than other groups, 56% say that blacks are generally more prone to violence, and over half say that blacks are generally less intelligent than other groups (1)."

"And we have long believed that, so even in the early 1960s, at a time when in retrospect all would agree the nation was profoundly unequal in its treatment of people of color, whites told pollsters in overwhelming numbers (anywhere from sixty-five to nearly ninety percent) that blacks had equal opportunities in employment and education."

"And according to a 2001 survey, sixty percent of whites, approximately, admit that they believe at least one negative and racist stereotype of blacks: for example, that they are generally lazy, generally aggressive or violent, or prefer to live on welfare rather than work for a living (2)."

"'when given a test of unconscious stereotyping, nearly ninety percent of whites who have taken the test implicitly associate the faces of black Americans with negative words and traits such as evil character or failure.'"

Bu-bu-but my history textbook written by a bunch of bitter old white men said that white men abolished racism in the 1960s. I mean, yeah, they also invented racism back in the 17th century, but obviously that's not important.

you needed a survey to tell you this? all you have to do is log onto xbox live or go down south. the kkk still march in the street down here.

Someone's peeking out from under their rock.

"racism isn't dead" says the guy who posts references from a website clearly racist against white people.  

If you tune it out; it stops existing. That is the truth.

dont bring up racism ok bossman.

It is only an indication that they are not shamed at sharing opinions compare to before. As for the topic of racism, I am not going to talk about it. I do really hope African Americans can donate back to their community when they become filthy rich. There are a lot of rick African Americans, but, their community often has high crime rate and education is not popular in their community. It would be helpful to donate their money back to their community and help their fellow brothers. A lot of whites does that to help their own communities, and a lot of them extended their donations to other races. I hope this would be the case for rich African Americans. magicalclick

Another quality thread from Drasonak.

Just realized you were that user who talked about psychology and stuff, and about reddit.dave123321

Bigotry is a form of weakness, let it go, regain your strength and live your life accordingly. In the process of doing this... don't forget to laugh along the way. I know I do.

Did anyone really think racism was "dead"?MonoSilver

Haha we all know that, and quite frankly its probably gonna be around forever, dosen't bother me I got thick skin.

Racism isn't dead, it never was and never will be. The only difference is instead of being blatant about it, the system has become subtly rigged to keep minorities with less power and wealth.

Stereotypes are there for a reason though. Because they are true much of the time. Now if I was to tell you a story about a shootout that happened over who made the best Kool Aid, what color would you say they were? Would you be racist to assume they were black?Murderstyle75

Holy freakin sh.... http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=8c9_1338488566 :lol:

now that was sad and funny at the same time. But as always the media is known to promote false images and ideas about people. The misrepresentation of the news is nothing short of propaganda and slander, to them controversy and negativity is the prime directive. It's just too bad that most people today rely on this source to educate them on past and current events...often without questioning it's validity.

"Of course, none of this should be interpreted to imply that whites are inherently racist, as if because of something intrinsic to our culture or biology."

One can easily say that this culture makes white people less aware of white supremacy (not in the KKK sense, but you know) without attacking white people.

there is no racism... alabama said so and is currently taking it to the supreme court so old  white people can confirm it.

congrats!  you overcame!

Stereotypes are just generalizations really, and that's pretty much how the human brain works. While I don't think stereotypes are necessarily all true, I do think, like most things in life, there's a little truth to some of them.

problem with stereotypes, is that:

1. I am aware of them.

2. I don't often want to think in terms of sterotypes, or judge people on them.

3. Yet, time and time again, especially in the third world (Caribbean, Latin America, Middle East) I've seen, and dealt with literal walking stereotypes. 

It's why i agree when people say "they exist for a reason". it's because people see certain behaviors (good or bad) again and again and whichever group that person belongs to gets assumed. and i think, it's instinctual, we look for patterns in things, including other people. 

a lot of the stereotypical behaviors stem from the types of cultures they live in. A word (culture) that requires unboxing. 

guess that makes a racist then.

[QUOTE="bnarmz"][QUOTE="Murderstyle75"] Propaganda? You did see that the people reporting the news were black. Right? I can also post multiple sources of the same exact story. It is very valid.Murderstyle75

hmm, interesting.

So, why do you think these people have bad homes, what could be the reasons for that? How do we finally remedy these on going issues? I'm all for helping out the youth and the elderly no matter the shade of skin or their background. I find most problems in these environments (ghettos) happen when there is a lack in the equality of life. Many just give up because they are tired of being victimized by hate groups and the system, they feel there is no hope so some put on this "I don't give a fvck attitude. There's too many broken homes because the father is in jail (or dead) for crimes he had to perform to feed himself and his family, the mother works 2 or 3 jobs trying to raise a boy into a man, a girl into a woman but she is hardly around because she needs to work. The schools are just as poor as the people that go there, and the job market is virtually non existent when you come up without that support, proper guidance, and education. Not many people within any racial group has the ability, or know how to raise up out of this. These are the important things that is hardly talked about when viewing black people and their issues on the news channel, this is where you get to the root of the matter. All you'll ever see in the news is some young poor misguided individual struggling to find self and purpose within a society dominated by Caucasians, they are not only a product of his/her environment, but the result of neglect and injustice.

Still, I'm not someone that believes in excuses but I do understand why many black people are in the predicament they are in. I hear the concerns all the time and I'm hoping one day society will reach that point where division and bigotry is gone. Imo, it's probably one of the dumbest things to ever be a part of. We created so much wonder in this world thru our separation, just imagine how much we can create thru unity.

I don't think anyone thought racism was dead

Your textbook said we abolished racism? Was there some kind of post-mass-hypnotic version of the Emancipation Proclamation pooped out by LBJ that I don't know about?

Which textbook and what is the page number and the exact quote? Be specific.

I mean, yeah, they also invented racism back in the 17th century, but obviously that's not important.Drasonak

They INVENTED racism in the 17th century?!?

That must be some textbook!

OP is a racist

Yes, that totally happens here. Every time I got outside I see hooded klansmen running around burning crosses and lynching blacks. Grow up.

This Black guy doesn't care about racism. I recognize it and will stand against it if a need arises for me to do so, though.

Only naive people thought that electing a black president meant racism is dead.  Everyone's a little bit racist. And the TC is extremely racist
