Considering you are using the meaning of perpetuation of racism way out of context I'll still try and answer your questions.
Says who? You.
Considering you are white and live in the U.S. I am going to assume that you haven't been subject to direct racism in your life
Oh yes, I have at the hands of black people. It's called reverse racism or don't you know what it is. Those that know me here know my past and why you shouldn't go there.
Talking about the scars on a culture and a race or the lack of a black person to let something go that has so affected their lives in almost every aspect is very condensending of you.
I wasn't talking about scars on a culture-you are. It's quite possible that you, sir, are hypersensitive. We are talking about the word 'hang'. And you are turning it into a race debate. The kind of anger I see from you isn't healthy.
Lack of education, migration towards inner cities; racial stereotypes; drug abuse, etc... are just a few of the long lingering affects of slavery and racism in this country.
Lack of education. If you vote in a pitiful school board that is what you get. Sorry. Do you want to know about the Detroit School System I can fill you in if you like. There are some facts that are about to blow the doors wide open on the Detroit schools and it won't be pretty.
Migration that is something they individually choose to do. Sorry, no ones fault.
Drug abuse that definitely is not mine or anyone's fault except for the drug abuser, no matter their color. Using racism here is a very poor excuse for that behavior.
Racial stereotypes, I agree are very real. I am truly sorry about that.
The only item I see there that is a real lingering affect of slavery is stereotypes. Otherwise what I see is an excuse to blame anyone but yourselves.
As a women I would think you would understand considering you most likely deal with sexism often. The womans suffrage movement and their right to vote took place in 1920. It's been 90 years and sexism is still visible in all walks of daily life in the U.S. If you think that the "old guard" passing will end racism in the world or in the U.S. then I have a bridge in Manhattan I can sell you.
I have been shoved thru doors while making a sales calls, the last time by a Jew no less. I am a woman in a man's job, for most of my life I have been the only woman or nearly the only woman in my field. I kept putting one foot in front of the other and kept working. I didn't blame anyone because I was born a woman, I accepted the fact and made do since there is nothing I can do about it. How about you?
I never said that man got the job instead of me because...
The comment about the old guard wasn't about eliminating racism it was as they die off maybe
some of it would go with them. Sadly it will never disappear, we agree.
Catch ya later.
