For future reference, in addition to the posts above, here is my complete set of thoughts on race. Let's just settle this once and for all hmmm?
Black people are ok. So is just about everybody else. I will admit, that I do harbor one prejudice. There is one group of people that I am perfectly willing to pre-judge and that's the Amish. I'm sorry, but that's an oppressive brainwashing culture that deprives people (especially children) of the bounty of this world for the most idiotic and insane reasons imaginable. I straight hate the fucking Amish.
With regards to my thoughts on what you refer to as "brown people", here is what I believe. First. I believe in facts and data. It's a fact that African Americans represent 13% of the population and account for 50% of the murders and robberies. That's a problem. I personally believe that the root cause of crime is poverty. And black people are poorer (on average) than white people.
This holds true with other populations. Asian Americans (on average) are more affluent than white people and they represent a disproportionately small percentage of crime.
So...Why are black people poor?
William Galston (former economic adviser to President Clinton) published a study (twice, a decade apart, with identical results) that showed the following: If you A) Finish High school B) Don't have a kid out of wedlock and C) Don't have a kid before age 21 then the chances that you will live in poverty are less than 10%. That's it. It's really that simple. And that same study found that your chances of living in poverty were greater than 90% if you were missing even one of those three things. I know I've posted this before. And I know I'm off by a few %'s. But I think you get the point.
The teenage pregnancy rate, the highschool dropout rate, and the wedlock birth rate among blacks are absolutely abysmal compared to whites.
It's not racist cops getting teenage black girls pregnant.
It's not white privilege forcing black kids to drop out of high school.
There's something wrong culturally. I know it sounds cliche to blame rap music, but it's somewhat apt. Black entertainers glorify a culture of thuggery and disrespect for women. There is a lack of emphasis on education, and a massive infrequency of nuclear families. These are not harmless features of an American sub-culture. This shit matters. And I truly don't see much what white people can do to correct that. So that's why I'm resistant to any talk about "white privilege", or "systemic racism", or "implicit bias", or whatever social justice buzzwords the kids are using these days. Clean up your own fucking house first...then let's see how far we really need to go for equality.
Stay in school. Wear a condom. How hard is that, really?
Another thing, is that I see the so-called 'leaders' of the black community (the Al Sharpton's of the world) as phonies. I see these people as simply opportunistic demagogues with political and/or profit motives. These people are not helping black people.
I could go on, but what I'd like you to conclude is that I do not harbor any pre-judgements or biases against any individual person on the basis of race or ethnicity with the single exception of those foul, rotten, fucktard Amish. I do recognize that there is an inequality of economic outcomes (on average) between black and white people. I do wish that were not the case. However I do believe that those differences can be accounted for by cultural factors that I've outlined above, and NOT by racism.
Oskar, I'm merely unsympathetic to a racial victimization narrative. That's not the same thing as being racist. I feel like the distinction should be clear, but I also have a much higher IQ than you do. But now that I've spelled it out, I hope we're on the same page.
