Oh so almost 50+ years ago. Let's fix this by using racism against white people and perpetuate racism to infinity! :thumbup:Gblock;1397186 wrote:1850? PFFFSSHHH.. how bout 1950, 1960, even 1970s...
If all things equal between a white prospective employee and a black prospective employee except for personality compatibility, would it not be considered racist for me to choose the one closer to my personality?O-Trap;1396831 wrote:This topic, honestly, should have been more broad. After all, skin tone and sex are not the only two reasons that a lesser employee might be chosen.
Attractiveness is certainly used in certain occupations.
Weight can be.
Literal vision (as opposed to proverbial vision).
Personality compatibility.
All these can be, and are, used in the hiring process, even though they don't inherently establish a candidate as a better employee.
I know you didn't write this, but the younger generation need to realize there has never been a time in there life where they, as a black person, were not allowed to vote.Gblock;1397169 wrote: We couldn't vote for a very long time, remember?

It wasnt like people wanted to give blacks equal rights. they had to march, fight, get beat, lynched and locked up for many years. it wasnt just handed to them
Me? Yes. You can't make a general inference about my preferences. I prefer to be independent and homeless rather than a slave with a roof over my head.ernest_t_bass;1397172 wrote:You'd rather be homeless than my slave?

Accuracy? You mean it took 100 years after the freeing of slaves for blacks to go "Hey, maybe we should be treated equally as white folk". Their fault.Gblock;1397199 wrote:just aiming for accuracy

i think a lot of them missed the boat. I work at an all black all girls university, for every one you find that was bread to be better, i'll find you at least 100 that weren't.dlazz;1397211 wrote:It's interesting when people bring up athletics and race.
"Why does a black guy have to get the job when a white guy could do just as well".
Black people were selectively bred when they were slaves. They're going to be better, faster, stronger based purely off of un-natural selection.
Not to mention how many white folks gave their lives fighting side by side with their fellow black Americans for freedom. I guess that isn't enough sacrifice; we need white people to continue to apologize into infinity! :laugh::laugh:Gblock;1397202 wrote:haha nice

I give a lot of credit to those who risked everything to help blacks not only during slavery, and jim crow but to this day in schools, playgrounds and workplaces, families even today. I know a girl who got disowned by her family last week for dating a black guy and this was a close knit family.sleeper;1397220 wrote:Not to mention how many white folks gave their lives fighting side by side with their fellow black Americans for freedom.

Black people have it made. They can get by just because of the color of their skin and don't have to work hard for the opportunities they get. It's a never ending loop and if you truly want equality, you'd be vehemently against all race based aid and race based incentives.Gblock;1397225 wrote:I give a lot of credit to those who risked everything to help blacks not only during slavery, and jim crow but to this day in schools, playgrounds and workplaces, families even today.

I'm not sure what the relevance of this question is. Are you arguing that without affirmative action more blacks would end up in prison? Why can't this be solved with need based aid rather than aid based on skin color?Gblock;1397238 wrote:there are more blacks in prison than on college campuses how many of your jobs can they really be taking??
So now you want equal number of blacks and whites in prison? :thumbdown:Gblock;1397238 wrote:there are more blacks in prison than on college campuses how many of your jobs can they really be taking??
