This black on white crime is getting out of hand.

That's because white people are the only ones smart and calculating enough to get away with doing it more than once and over a period of time. We stalk *****es for weeks and bury them under our homes or eat them. As opposed to blacks, who are content with driving by someone's house hanging out the passenger window of a 93 Caprice double-clutching 9mms in broad daylight. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif Lesser of two evils I suppose.

That was your 1,000th post, by the way. Way to make it stand out. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

Pick up a history book and you will see why whites don't have their own month, study black history. When your people have been put thru 300 years of slavery and segregation, and had to fight and earn every right to be called an American then will know.

It's pretty sad how individuals to come to CA to learn and share about car audio, but spend more time attempting to make inflammatory racial situations. It's easier to say "we should all focus on finding things in common versus finding issues to pull us apart". I guess that would be too logical. Skin color isn't indicative of intelligence, poverty or economic status. Every race at some point gets a bad shake, some worse than others. Some races are and will be always at a disadvantage that's just life--it shouldn't be. If you're a racist that's "YOUR CHOICE" but stop looking for reasons to justify it. Trust me, when I'm walking into a store and asking for help I'm not thinking about color--I'm thinking about who's the most knowledgeable person in this area that can help me so I'm not coming back with a return. The same individuals who claim blacks are dumber in their post, struggle with grasping the basics of grammar. Don't get me wrong, this is a forum and you can type and respond in a manner that is comfortable for you. At the same time your post won't carry any credibility. Honestly I could care less about your color/gene makeup. If you're a law abiding citizen, take care of your personal responsibilities, contribute to your community and you are not a burden on society--we can be neighbors. I don't care what color a person is but if they are a cancer to society--let God be judge and jury.

Wow thats the best statement i've heard all day.

Man you guys are uptight... don't take the internet so seriously. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif Blacks enslave other blacks too, by the way. They still do. This isn't/wasn't exclusively a white on black issue, so please don't go throwing around how I should study Black History. I think it is a travesty what happened to blacks in this country, and I agree that they have had more than their share of oppression, but to imply that that somehow entitles blacks to the winning side of a double standard is ignorant. All it does is further blacks' feelings of inferiority. By creating special months, and special funds, etc, it keeps the focus on how White America is "always trying to keep the black man down." It's a vicious cycle. I'm not suggesting an alternative solution; most solutions only create more problems anyway. But your implication that blacks somehow 'deserve' to have special treatment because of what their ancestors suffered is interesting to say the least.

Thats a totally different situation guy just like in Europe whites enslaved whites, but thats not a RACE issue, they are slaves do to the social class they were born in. So it isn't RACISM which is what we are referring to so don't go throwing stuff out there that's irrelevant to this situation.

Actually no race should receive preferential treatment. There aren't any minority members on the forum screaming they need to be treated special. Most of the inflammatory racial threads receives replies stating they are "racial in content". Some members remind forum members of slavery, as a way to remind us all that this country was built on the back of people enslaved(whites, blacks, native americans et. al.).

The issues are "why do we(as a forum) need to bring up racial issues and topics regularly to inflame members who are affected by these topics". Whites aren't keeping "blacks or other minority members down", it is a system that was put in place during an oppression of minorities before "all of our time" that keeps minorities down. You are focusing on "blacks" receiving preferential treatment or requesting that they receive it--truth of the matter be told--Native Americans are the most preferentially treated group in the US. Do a little reading on the all the programs set up for Native Americans through the Federal Gov't and you'll be shocked, not to mention the infamous Indian Health Services(IHS).

The greatest solution to this problem involves educating and understanding ethnic and cultural diversity. Meaning we accept eachother for what we contribute and bring to the table versus viewing skin color. Creating threads that "you fully understand" will inflame negative responses for and against are a cancer. The cancer has to originate from something/someone malignant. With this forum, our members who create racially charged and dividing threads are the cancer themselves.

If you don't have a solution or positive suggestion, don't become a part of the problem.

That wasn't really my point, but that's fine. All I meant by that statement, which wasn't even the basis of my post, is that slavery isn't an issue solely between blacks and whites. Regardless of WHY, slavery in my opinion is wrong. I doubt the slaves in the diamond mines feel any better than the slaves in the cotton fields back in the 1800s, simply because they have a slavemaster of the same color skin. It seems as if you picked that statement to disagree with because you had no response for the rest of my post... and to think we had a good discussion started.

Well said. I definitely agree.

okay but what does there slavery have to do with your comments of why we have a Black history month and other things. Our struggle is totally different to theirs, and my comments of slavery are only relevant to African Americans not blood diamond slaves and such. You can't justify what your comments by comparing two totally different forms of slavery and expecting to have a point. /Fail for you support and argument

 

[mikey7182 10+ year member]

Wow... My point was that blacks seem to feel entitled to special treatment, i.e. special holidays, support groups, financial aid, etc, BECAUSE of what they went through a hundred years ago, or more, as slaves. How much more of a direct correlation do you need? I'm not trying to start an argument, or add fuel to a fire that needs to be put out, but seriously man... if you can't grasp what I'm spelling out in fairly plain English, please don't bother replying. Talking about slaves overseas was simply to point out that slavery is not exclusive to the United States history. That sentence was not necessarily related to the rest of the post, but I felt it needed to be mentioned because there seems to be this stigma that black suffering is ALL the white man's fault. Simply look at the 'blood diamond slaves' and you will see this is not true.

Actually, I've read the entire posts in this thread. The initial responses were far short of being a "good discussion" unless it was a recruitment for a racial cause.

Slavery in any shape or form is wrong--hence why some men remain bachelors for a lifetime(it's a joke, laugh). Slavery exists today throughout the world disguised as "cheap labor". We(as a nation) need to remain educated on patterns of racism and intolerance, so that we don't allow history to repeat itself. Around the country there are "whites" teaching African American history courses and some are more knowledgeable than the students of color in their classrooms. Your skin color won't restrict or inhibit you from learning about another race, but your racism can be the culprit. As a forum there will always be agreements and disagreements in regards to car audio(wiring, install, box builds et. al.) but we should all agree that racism is a cancer and has only a negative affect.

I wasn't only focusing on your post, although it was quoted, but many other negative posts in your thread.

My apologies if I have read your posts in a negative light if they were meant to be a positive for a nation moving forward together.

FYI to all--people are not uptight, they are just shocked how some can take subjects so lightly--it's just not the internet.

So what do you consider preferential treatment? Because if having a month out of the year to promote and educate the history of African Americans is preferential treatment then you just contradicted yourself with your whole paragraph, because that is how we educate ourselves on the whole situation. I'm fairly sure if there were no black history month the majority of people,blacks and white, wouldn't even know think about it. And if thats not what you consider preferential treatment what is, because i don't recall myself or anyone else referring to recieving it.

Wtf special holidays? And what the **** does financial aid have to do with slavery? African American college funds are there because the majority of black kids can't afford college because they are born in poverty, and most of those special funds are supported by the rich African Americans. If there are any SPECIAL financial aid out there it's mainly based out of restitution for not being allowed to even attend those schools. Which is why there are black colleges out there.
