Thread 2 of 2.

What I'm doing may be controversial and again i'm not trying to incite but to en-light and be enlightened, especially today.

My post:

There are things that I see that disturb me. Like last year, the murder rate in the city I live in, Boston, was at a 10 year high. The total amount of people killed was 75. in 1995 it was 96. On Jan. 1 the Boston Herald had the pictures of all 75 faces and how they died and when. Most of the victims were Black.

As I walk around or on the train I'm always observant, watching people while still living my life. And I see some not all some of the attitudes some Blacks have towards authority or just law in general.

I think to myself that this disregard of life or law is illogical. Blacks have more opportunities now more than ever. They now have access to anything white people have access to in the United States on behalf of other blacks giving up their lives earlier on so that they could have these wonderful oppertunities.

In America, the Black on Black crime rate is high. The H.S./College dropout rate amoung Blacks is high, the young pregnancy rate among Black teens is high as well as the fatherless crises and more! And it's like how the f*** can this be. It depresses me.

It kills me to the point of near tears for me to see such a talented group of smart individuals will not take advantage of the resourses they were denied before just based on skin color. This doesn't go to all Blacks, just the ones who are ignorant but at the same time know they have every chance to succeed now.

No is not controversial is just a reversal of his other thread and I see no point in dealing with the topic. Carry on people....no bashing (just in case there is any)

You see no point in dealing with this topic?

Were you talking about yourself or that it'd be pointless for anyone to deal with the topic because if so it's like how could you say that with the day being the perfect time to discuss it. M.L.K. day.

Unfortunately it had to take today to come for me to bring it up, know why? Because myself and other people see no point in dealing with the topic. And thanks to your quote, I now see why there's a problem in the first place, cause no one sees the point in dealing of fixing it. And I know you may not care or it may not affect you in any way but it might affect others. That's probably why you see no point, cause it doesn't matter to you.

Personally, if someone needed a hand, or if i can give a hand in the world to any cause that has nothing to do with me, if I see and know it can better that group, I'd help out unquestionably.

Overall, every single human is interconnected with all the problems in this world. You'd be surprised at how beneficial getting involved can be to you and the one your helping out.

"talented group of smart individuals"? LOL!!! Good one!!!

But anyways I hear that crime in Toronto is a serious problem and that it's all caused by the fact that these monkeys fill up half the city. Send 'em back where they came from and there are no Carribean drug dealers in the street.

Blacks fought and died in the civil war also for current "rights" to be had.

So let's see , you just insulted a ethnic minority , already insulted women and their rights and i think you said something about beating people ....

Yup this guy stepped straight outta the 1950's......

Yes, but those movements or wars shouldn't have been necessary for black people to have rights.

maybe but call it a learning curve of our culture. Does it suck certainly however that doesn't change the fact that it did occur. Really its about equal rights I think not just about rights in general.

Gotta love 'affirmative action'. Give the minorities rights to colleges before anyone else because they cant do it on their own. Sad really.

RIGHTS to go to college?

you obviously have no idea what the hell 'affirmative action' means.

It's an interesting thread, FON. And kudos for adventuring to an area that takes some serious courage. Well said I might add also.

Interesting question..I think the same question can actually be posed upon all Americans, regardless of their race/religion/creed. America as a whole is falling behind when it comes to academics, as well as economic growth. Quite frankly..the culture has bread a bunch of black/white/hispanic/christian/etc..lazy ingrates..who truly don't have any understanding of what the concept of "freedom" means..and wouldn't dare pick up a gun or go to combat..if they had to defend the "views" that they believe in.

So to answer your question...some blacks/whites/chinese/ etc are definately not taking advantage of the rights that were so vigourously fought for by those who have given their lives to establish these "God given" rights.

Bingo, whobdamandog. Perfect, actually.

Hey thanks.

You know, I wasn't going to start this thread or the other one because of the controversy I know comes with it. But I decided to do it because my want, for what I thought it was an important issue I felt had to be mentioned, was stronger than not wanting to post it because of its sensitivity.

I guess today, MLK day, made me observe what he stood for, for a second longer than normally.

Wonderfully said.

I think it depends on which rights you speak of. The right to bear arms or freedom of speech for example have been taken to the brink of abuse in some cases. People buy 50 CALIBER RIFLES, which totally ignores the point of the right i.e. to defend one's self. Some who are in the public spotlight (rappers) simply say things not to get their point across, but to make a statement that they can say whatever they want without consequence no matter how many they offend.

On the other hand, the right to education or right to belief have sometimes been totally ignored. Because it isn't seen as 'cool' to attend high school on a regular basis, some simply choose not to. Because people ostracize those who are different, people tend to quash their own beliefs in order to fit in.

Basically, yes and no.

its like a magnet for ignorance.

reality: it has nothing to do with being black and everything to do with poverty. the reason we dont hear much about dirt poor white people killing eachother is because its not something that is popularised and glorified by pop culture and exclusively spotlighted by a racist media. most of you need to wake the f*** up.

When dirt poor white people kill each other, the victim's names at least make it on the news instead of, "two people were killed on Sh*thole Avenue last night in a drive-by. The suspect was taken into custody early this morning. Now, let's look at this weekend's weather."

Hey, I know this is off-topic, but i'm not going into the OTF forum to see if anyone noticed that their profile changed when they post.

Now it says your gender and location, whereas it used to be your date registered and location. I thought Date Registered was better than gender. That way, there's less research to do on noobs.

poor=less moral values when considering the well being of your neighbors I suppose.

HUD has HUGE interagency organizations that do nothing but assign section 8 housing to minorities and look out for the welfare of the now independant Native American Tribes. Poor or not there are alot of resources used by the govt to help provide for the less fortunate.

Isn't it strange that cats and dogs can still put their differences even though they're actually different species, yet humans have problems with other humans just because of skin color/gender/religion/mutant powers/etc?
