Total crock of poo

Can my black manager keep something from me

Like what? You work for him, right? He didn't stop your employment nor does he keep you down.

It's not hard to understand, but folks don't want to admit the simple truth. You have to own something and be able to keep people out of it. Where does this happen in black America? You brought up the CBC, the ONLY thing that 100% black exclusive in the US. Do you honestly think if white congressmen got together and said you'll disband immediately and come join us so we can work on these issues as a team, they'd be able to say no? Of course not. They don't have power. They're a group because they're allowed to function.

I'll say it slowly. THERE.IS.NOTHING.WE.OWN.THAT.WE.CAN.KEEP.FROM.YOU. To discriminate, you have to own it AND be at the top of the food chain so that you can turn people away. And there's no black business that's booming enough to say we only cater to black people.

The fact that some fringe element rhetoric in your quest to find racism in everything, has convinced you that no black people in this country are powerful enough to exclude white people is disturbing.

Total hoarse poo

I still haven't heard about any BLM protest scheduled for Darren Seals. Did his life not matter enough to protest about? Or would he need to have been killed by a police officer in order to be eligible to have mattered enough?

Then show me. Put your money where your mouth is so to speak. Because all I keep hearing is, white people are the REAL oppressed people in this country, but I've yet to see the evidence of this mass takeover by POC where we are keeping you down.

Oprah is probably the richest black woman in the country. Hands down. If there's anyone who could exclude someone, it's her, but look at her core audience. It's mostly black and white women.

Jordan is one of the first black sport billionaires. And until recently, he kept his mouth shut when it came to black issues. But when asked about it years ago, his response was Republicans buy sneakers too.

It's simple really. There isn't enough of us to when it comes to generating revenue so to sell only to black people would be silly. Especially when black folks aren't the majority wealth holders in this country. But to exclude blacks and sell to everyone else doesn't hurt your business.

UNCF sends money to schools that any race can go to. In fact, one white valedictorian graduated from Moorehouse College with assistance from UNCF.

BET is run by Viacom. In 2001, the network lost its status as a black-owned business when it was bought by media conglomerate Viacom for $3 billion

Any other ones you can think of?

What is there to protest? He was murdered. By who we don't know. In order to protest, there has to be a breakdown in the system. So far it's a murder investigation, unless you have some information you want to share.

But all races can't engage in racism. You have to be able to keep someone from something.

And it's been asked, several times before, to clarify that POV. If you don't have a racist bone in your body, why did you lose sympathy for a dead man based on the actions of another who wasn't related to said person?

lol, maybe I just enjoy keeping you wondering. Maybe the point was exactly to get you to do what you're doing - obsessing about it constantly for a little bit of fun. Nevermind the fact I didn't say I lost sympathy, just said I don't care what happens with it but I don't owe you an explanation - think about it a few more years and maybe you'll figure it out.

not really. most rich people in this country, at this point in time, were born into it. that has nothing to do with believing in the payoffs of ingenuity and hard work and everything to do with how our economic system is rigged.

BTW back to that other topic, it used to seem like you really hate Clinton but now she seems to be growing on you, are you sure you're not going to end up voting for her?

at the end of the day, it never matters how you 'feel' about any particular candidate - only if you choose to participate. honestly, i don't care to play this go round. but if i change my mind - it would only be to vote for the democratic ticket - nothing else is worth my time until another party is in the actual running or democrats pull left. but i'll be sure to let ya'll know if i do vote, so you'll never let me forget it.

Nope, not obsessing over it. Just highlighting that you seem to live by a double standard. You tend to make statements, then turn on a dime when you're called out about it. What's so funny is you keep claiming you don't have a single racist bone in your body but refuse to just explain your comment. And no one said you owed me anything, I just asked for clarification since I can't see how it's NOT racist to blame a dead black person for the actions of another black person. I'm sure you can be sympathetic towards someone and still be mad at another who did something wrong.

Man, how you don't exhaust yourself repeating the same old tired wrong things day after day is beyond me.

Man, how you don't exhaust yourself repeating the same old tired wrong things day after day is beyond me.

Because it's not exhausting when you're not the one being grilled for answers.

See, when I post/speak I tend to think beforehand. I know my answers are going to be looked over very carefully and at some point, might be used against me at any given time. Especially here, when one can go back and see your stance change. For example, my opinion on dating a black woman. You think someone DIDN'T bring up my previous comments when it came to light I was talking to Janelle. Hence the reason I apologized about it, and make a point to keep doing so when it's addressed, I can stand up and explain my position. I try to have the high ground at all times, so there will be no raised eyebrows when I bring the ruckus.

I stand by what I post, if I mess up, I apologize and take the hit. Because my opinion on race and religion is so strong I expect to be attacked more, hence why I take more caution in what I let come out on the keyboard.

But keep telling me I'm wrong when you refuse to address the issue. It doesn't look fishy at all.
