[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Has anyone noticed that African Americans (decendents of slaves) are being over looked for Africans and hispanics?  Perhaps just my perception.  However, AA deserve the attention in the academic world and job market as well as other areas. They were here early on, discriminated against - yet still helped build and defend our country.  [/quote]

[b]Because they are not hostile to everyone, and don't have a chip on their shoulder the size of the rock of Gibraltar. They don't treat all whites like shitheels and they don't go far out of their way to look for offenses where none exist, and they don't resent people based on color.  Lastly, they neither resent another's success nor blame it on some invisible privilege[/b].[/quote]

In other words, they are good compliant minorities who don't give the White folks any problems.  [/quote]

+1 PP, good job grouping all AA in one large calculated effort to threaten your sense of self-entitlement, destroy your desire for self-preservation and make your life miserable.  Please don't repeat any of this around anyone who is halfway intelligent.  It makes you sound really, really stupid.  [/quote]
Your pp here. No, my bolded comments were in no way directed at all AA. There is no lumping anymore than the question was lumping.  The comment was directed at those individuals, few though they might be, who get on dcum and utteely fail to see anything as other than a reason to lump whites in one evil empire and play the race card on conversations that really are not about race. I regret not having been directed in my comment to those few who turn our discussions into race wars. I have no entitlement and no clue what selfpreservation means.  But I do want ro ask folks to stop turning it all into a reductionist argument. If my exasperation led me to contribute to that, I'm sorry. But let's be less fabricating about what is an offense vs. what is a cheap shot.[/quote]
