or you can Google Institutional racism., so when the conversation of racism is discussed you won't be so....well dumbI see...
Guess ill learn something another day
Wow dude. You are super lucky to have narrowly escaped oppression. I mean everybody knows how being "a quarter Lebanese" really puts the crosshairs on ones head for discrimination.Since everyone can't seem to stop talking about how racist America is, I'm curious to here some of the stories you all have experienced. I've personally never seen or experienced a racist act in my entire life and I'm a quarter Lebanese. Let's hear these horrible stories that the left say is ruining our country. Oh and of course it better only be about white people because whites are the only people who can possibly be racist.
Do you resist learning always ? Try again and google Institutional racism.
oh look, a bunch of white people who claim to be oppressed, yes that includes you sunni.
you are much too stupid for that.Now you want me to take their online courses?!
Interesting.Edmund Morgan’s 1977 work, American Slavery, American Freedom, which argues, in effect, that the establishment of the system of African slavery in Virginia was a conscious decision by wealthy elites, and that racism grew out of slavery. The gist of the argument is that the growing population of landless whites in late 17th-century Virginia became a threat to wealthy landowners, who turned to legal means (increased terms of service for minor legal infractions) to try to keep them subservient. However, most of the landless poor were English, and they came from a cultural tradition in which they could claim the “rights of Englishmen” that guaranteed them certain legal protections (access to courts, trial by jury, property rights, and liberty of their persons). Because of this heritage, wealthy elites realized they couldn’t create a system of perpetual servitude for English subjects, so they settled on imported African slave labor as the solution.
According to Morgan, this strategy “allowed Virginia’s magnates to keep their lands, yet arrested the discontent of the repression of other Englishmen.” Though the white society that emerged would be highly stratified and unequal, the presence of a debased class of enslaved black that inhabited the bottom of the racial hierarchy effectively became a release valve for class antagonisms within the white community. If some whites weren’t as rich as others, they were at least always above the permanent caste of enslaved blacks. And thus the rise of an institutionalized anti-black racism in Virginia and later the United States.
You actually would have a point on that...if it wasn't for the racism.Racism is one of many pseudo topics that draw our attention from CLASS PREJUDICE.
Your comment would have been good, if it wasn't for the racism.You actually would have a point on that...if it wasn't for the racism.
Tell your folks to stop with the racism and we might get somewhere
racism was started by whom. Lets see how honest you can be. What group of people started this thing we call racism.Your comment would have been good, if it wasn't for the racism.
If reddan 1981 is white and you instructed him to tell "his folks" something, you have implied racism in your request, as if all white people think, act and respond alike.
I suggest you view people as individuals and not from a collectivist perspective. Peace.
I think you meant "which" group.racism was started by whom. Lets see how honest you can be. What group of people started this thing we call racism.
hmmmm you seemingly can't answer the question. I wonder why...notI think you meant "which" group.
Some very early racism may be a vestigial leftover from early mans development and a fear of "strangers", people that looked different than your clan or tribe.
Of course I'd say in a modern era, the evidence points to the emergence of the state as the biggest supporter of racism. This will likely go far over your head though, won't it?
I would, again, encourage you to see humans as individuals and judge them on their actions, rather than as automatic members of a group or mindset based on something as superficial as a physical characteristic like color of hair or skin.
Who are my folks? If you are implying RICH white policy makers are my folk, I assure you I come from POOR Irish and welsh coal mining stock. If I were to indulge you with further ancestral beginnings I am taught to believe I come from Africa, didn't every one?You actually would have a point on that...if it wasn't for the racism.

I did answer the question. I just answered in a way that has befuddled you.hmmmm you seemingly can't answer the question. I wonder why...not
nah just the poor white trash that supports racism. You know the one's who think only black people eat fried chicken and watermelon. The ones who support hatred based on the next mans color. The ones who think they should have the right to refuse service to someone based on skin color.Who are my folks? If you are implying RICH white policy makers are my folk, I assure you I come from POOR Irish and welsh coal mining stock. If I were to indulge you with further ancestral beginnings I am taught to believe I come from Africa, didn't every one?
3 of my children are mixed race shall I count them as my folk?
