Orthodox Jews murdered by 2 Black Hebrew Israelites in Jersey City NJ

I was homeless as a kid

White privilege goes way beyond the wallet.

Yes, there are rich black folks, but even they are subject to racial profiling and stereotyping as well as bias in mortgage lending, and unequal treatment in schools.

Even the children of well-off black families are more likely to be suspended or expelled from school than the children of poor whites. This is true despite the fact that there being no difference in the rates of serious school rule infractions between white kids or black kids

• Poor whites still receive better treatment in school (placement in advanced track classes even when they're not a good student).
• Poor whites still receive better treatment by law enforcement officers.
• Poor whites still get more job opportunities because of connections they are able to take advantage of that were pretty much unavailable to the blk folks.

Also even though you were poor and homeless you would still have been able to clean up, go to a job interview and be seen as just another white person, whereas a blk person, even who isn’t low-income, has to wonder whether or not they might trip some negative stereotype about their group when they go for an interview or sit in the classroom answering questions from the teacher.

Oh, and not to put too fine a point on it, but even low-income whites are more likely to own their own home than middle income black families, thanks to past advantages in housing and asset accumulation, which has allowed those whites to receive a small piece of property from their families.

from a screwed up family

Yeah and no one ever said "yeah but those white families are screwed up anyway" "Those white men need look after there white kids better"

See now you wanna sit down and have a 1 on 1 heart to heart interview with Oprah don't ya ? And talk about how fked up your father, mother or brother was and how that might have affected you as an adult.
Now you want compassion. Now you want understanding.

The last thing you want is to be judged as a white person and your how screwed up family (Your words not mine) was a problem in the white community as a whole.

Na...na you don't want that sh*t.

But when the shoe on the other foot. All of sudden the poison comes out. All of sudden guys Adrien Broner are just what dumb black men do. How do you know how AB was brought up ? How do you know he didn't have screwed up family ?

You see you'd think that dealing with poverty, racism, crumbling schools and dilapidated housing, as is common for blk ppl would be pretty stressful. Yet, it's whites and those with money who are more likely to drink alcohol, use drugs, or smoke cigarettes. It's because it's the lack of coping skills of whites

See black ppl were tough.

Because we must as a matter of survival, learn to deal with these conditions from an early age.

Despite racism black ppl don't do suicide. None of this is to say that I'm gonna now pity whites but as the old saying goes, "the fish tends to rot from the head down"

My solution is aspiration instilled with intrinsic motivation

Black folks are doing self-help all the time. We have to. We have enough experience with white institutions to know that they have never done much to improve our situation. But I see very little self-help in the white community. Rarely do you spend time dealing with your own internalized racism and which only you have any control over, since the folks doing the discriminating are white like you.

less of the victimhood you are so into.

So no one would think about racism were it not for the constant presence of black ppl raising the issue ?

Black folks are aware of racism about us by an early age because at an early age black children are being tracked into lower-level classes regardless of ability and punished harsher.

Also whites are great at making themselves victimsof taxes, big government, immigrants, antifa, Michelle Obama’s healthy schools initiative, or “radical Islam,”.

White's love being victims. So long as your the ones who get to decide what victims count. Never has a group with so much out-sized power been so quick to play victim. This, despite the fact that whites continue to be less likely as black folks to be out of work, and despite the fact that blacks are a tiny % of students at the USA's most selective colleges

But no whites are oppressed by black History Month and BET and Ebony Magazine and black super heroes and black Rue in the Hunger Games movie (even though she was black in the book too), and black Hermione in the London Harry Potter stage play, and black Annie in the Annie remake, and taxes on tanning bed visits, for starters.

Surely, nobody knows the trouble you’ve seen. Nobody knows the sorrow.

To tell my kid that he can be anything he wants to be if he tries hard enough is nice, but unless I warn him about the obstacles in his path, I'm ill-suiting him for the real world.

Knowing the odds, black folk try even harder, because to do otherwise would all but have guaranteed defeat. Knowing the truth inspires perseverance and passionate resistance to victimization, not resignation to one’s status as a target. To ignore the importance of racism will not make it go away.
