Their families value education and don’t have as much victim mentality |
Black immigrants from Africa and the Caribbean come from upper middle class and educated professionals, not the poor laborers and servants there. You racists always ignore the huge advancements of U.S. blacks since partial enforcement of civil rights. There has been a huge increase in bachelors, masters, and professional degrees and incomes and standards of living. |
That can't be right. To hear the anti-racists tell it, nothing has gotten better for Black people since the Founding. |
LOL, the woke justice warriors are taking a beating on this thread. |
Of course things have gotten better, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t many challenges still. Things have also gotten better for women but they still are behind men in many ways, such as representation in government, and they still make less than men on average—82 cents for every dollar a man makes. So should we as a society stop striving for more equality because “things have gotten better”? |
I know, right? DCUM skews liberal. Can you imagine what a conservative-leaning forum would be like? |
| Movement went too far and got too silly. |
If you think that social pressure is a critical element of the movement, then note that an anonymous forum does not lend itself to naming, shaming, and ostracizing detractors. |
Are you talking about the silent majority who will vote against Democrats? |
No. I was suggesting that an anonymous forum may not be the venue where tools like naming, shaming, and ostracizing people come into play, if one thinks that DEI proponents rely on such tools. |
This is such a load of tripe. Dark immigrants from Africa and the Caribbean are not always upper middle class. Some of them are dirt poor and come here with nothing- like my dad, an orphan who came here with $600 in his pocket in the 70s and somehow got a PhD with dark skin and a funny name. I think if you want it the opportunity is there. If you’re a black American the sky is the limit. |
Yes, we should strive for more equality, but some of this anti-racist equity stuff has gotten out of hand. |
Yes, it didn't accomplish anything, except anger people. Individual police officers don't represent all American people or fans of the NFL who pay money to be entertained, not preached at by athletes. |
Not the immigrants my non-profit serves. The first thing they request is how to learn enough English to get a job and how to get their kids into school. |
