Al Sharpton will stroke over that stance.
And rally cnn and msnbc to provide the screenshot that all black folks are united behind him.
Lol @ affirmative action.I'm willing to support reasonable reparations for slavery, which was wrong, no doubt about it.
So, the CHANCE to get a few 'good' jobs here or there makes up for dragging 14 million people across an ocean against their will?
Come on, dawg.
Everything is so neatly disguised these days. There's a guy I know that lost out on a job where they hired a female that was a student of his. Qualifications and experience be DAMNED. Let's get another set of tits walking around in the office, shall we?
I see on job applications where you can leave your demographic blank, so as to give you a better chance of getting hired. But my dumb ass, thinking my skill/qualifications will win the day for me, fill it in anyway, only to not get hired.
There could've been a myriad of reasons why I wasn't hired, though I'm sure it involved skin color and possibly lack of tits. Of course, I cannot prove it, but...whatever.
If I were a fat, disgusting pig who was picked on in school and didn't get any pussy, who would I want walking around in my office building, a man, black or white...or other, or a woman, whom I would have authority and power over and may oqccaiosnally get to rub up against in choke points in the building [qualifications being comparable]??
I'd prefer the other so....what's up with those reparations??? Originally Posted by Randall Creed

My black friends don't want reparations, they just don't want to be discriminated against because of the color of their skin. I realize they don't speak for all black people, but they are pretty upfront that they simply don't believe they should be compensated for the abuse that many generations before them had to endure. My friends have the mindset that "why should I get a check for the bullshit my ancestors had to suffer through 3 generations ago?" Originally Posted by Lucas McCain
by that same logic it follows that these blacks don't feel whites who weren't even in the US at the time of slavery should be forced to pay reparations.I assume they know their own history. Africa was corrupt then and they are still corrupt now. I don't need to spell it out for them.
would they also acknowledge the known fact that the bulk of slaves were captured by other blacks in tribal wars? Originally Posted by The_Waco_Kid

Speaking of, my son went down to the City of Houston for a job that he was eminently qualified for. He was told "You don't fit in with culture here." In other words, he wasn't black. Originally Posted by gnadfly

I don't even know why people are even bringing up reparations. I'm not paying for that shit. I didn't do anything wrong. I make a considerable amount of money more than my black friends (actually all of my childhood friends) and I always pay for lunch. Those are the only reparations I'm payingOriginally Posted by Lucas McCain
Gnadfly, I am assuming your son has dark features if he is 12% black. Tell him to claim being Native American and he'll have a job in no time if he wants a government or city job. I'm not even kidding. If he wants to game the system, that's how he can easily do so. But if he is blonde and has blue eyes, he shouldn't waste his time with that claim. Originally Posted by Lucas McCain
Both he and my daughter/his sister are reluctant to game the system. Like their mother, they like to do things the hard way, be unsuccessful, and bitch. Thanks for the advice though. Originally Posted by gnadflyI understand but if the system is against you, I believe in skating behind the rules. Hell, we're on a whore board, everyone is doing that here. If the system is against you and you want it, you act accordingly without harming anyone. At least that's my motto.
like this pale face? Originally Posted by The_Waco_KidShe didn't game the system. That was just kind of stupid of her but I guess she could just blame hair dye to diffuse the awkward lie and stick to her bullshit story.
Hey boys, are there any Africans Americans weighing in on this conversation Originally Posted by HoeHummerIt's been a civil discussion for the most part. There is no need to try to escalate it further. I've said my thoughts from my experiences with talks with my black friends and others have shared their thoughts as well. As far as the OP is concerned, he's just a racist troll looking for attention, so he is not even worth addressing any further.
