WTF? Separate proms for blacks and whites

[justyxxxx]

I don't buy into the whole "poor whitey" feeling among some white people. I'm white, too. Black people were tortured and placed into slavery for centuries. And because of this, many white people and their descendents benefited. And so why is there such resentment toward having the United Negro College Fund? It's a good thing. You can't undo centuries worth of hate in a few decades and thus the reason for these types of institutions. There's plenty of ways for white people to get money if they'll just fill out the papers. You're not a minority that's been treated like shit so stop acting like you are.

And I'm sure there was more to the story of the poor little innocent red neck.

My opinion . . .

I didn't torture their ass! Neither did my parents or their parents. In fact, it was the Africans that sold their own people to anyone who would pay them.

You want to stop racism and hatred etc, the stop with the things like the United negro college fund and the black entertainment network and shit like that. How do you think they would like to see a White entertainment channel or white history month? How about a white united college fund?

I am part jewish, so I want repatrations from the egyptians for 2,000 plus years of slavery. I want a United Jewish College fund and a Jewish history month and a Jewish entertainment Network, etc.

Where does it stop? What good does it do except to reinforce that people are different and that that difference was/is a bad thing.

In some ways I see your points and I understand them, but I don't have time to explain my reasoning in more detail right now. Hopefully in a couple of days I'll be able to sit down and try to explain why I feel the way that I do on the subject.

Thanks,

Justin

Re: FUCK

Some of you are so full of shit...

Blacks do it its culutural pride.... Asians do it its cultural pride.... a black wears a shirt saying "Black Power" its cultural pride...

They have their own TV channel... blacks only scholarships....

all in the name of "pride"

Whites do it and their labelled racists and bigots and heretics...

Fucking lemmings

Its a matter of proper context. Often those displaying or claiming pride in their nationality, race or ethnicity are doing so under false pretense. Many conceal their separatist beliefs by pretending to proudly identifying with a specific group.

I assume your referring to B. E. T. with your comment; "their own TV Channel." I would like inform you that Viacom purchased B. E. T. Viacom is a media conglomerate, predominately managed by white men.

Black own scholarships are usually created to offer disadvantaged, but more importantly qualified blacks an opportunity to attend college. This is no different from scholarships that target German or Irish Americans.

The article cited stated that the previous prom had been the first prom in 31 years to be integrated. Despite the Supreme Courts ruling to desegregate schools, many schools in the South had yet to be completely integrated. Obviously, this has been a consistent practice since. It's clear that the pretext is racist and separatist.

He didn't say they "owned" their own TV channel, he said they "have" their own TV channel, which they clearly do, and companies buy other companies all the time. The president of BET is black, 99% of all of the programs are directed towards blacks with black actors, ect. (by the way I'm not against BET, just stating the obvious)

Income is not a prerequisite to the vast majority of black scholarships, what is required is that the color of your skin be black. Also, qualification is not a prerequisite either. The fact of the matter is, If you are black you are eligible, and will likely be selected for countless sholarships, regardless of anything else. Please do not analogize to German or Irish American scholarships since they amount to about .00001% of scholarships and do not favor an immutable trait--Find me a "caucasion scholarship"--this will never exist because apparently there are no white people who are disadvantaged and public policy will never allow promoting the white race.

The school is CLEARLY integrated, it looked to be almost 50/50 which is just about as integrated as it gets. The privately run proms can discriminate against anyone for any reason, regardless of what the Supreme Court says. It would be nice if blacks and whites had all the same interests, cultural similarities..ect, but they don't. Although I disagree with the "formal" segregation, its really not that different than the "implicit" segregation you see at every high school in America--implicit segregation that is fostered by every race, not solely the evil white man.
