Do you think some of the difficulty is addressing racial issues comes from a differing perception of the level of racism present in society?

What I mean is it probable that whites perceive less racism than actually exists and some minorities see more than actually exists?

    Yes, and also what people's ideas about what racism really is. Liberals and many blacks perceive the facts that blacks are more likely to be in prison or suspended from school is because of white racism. Also, liberals believe that only white people can be guilty of racism or racial discrimination, which is racist in itself.

    The idea that enforcing laws or enforcing discipline is racist because blacks are more likely to be punished is causing lots of problems. Liberals should just stop screaming racist any time someone dares to disagree with them.

    The underlying cause of so much anger in the Black population is that Democrats have been promising to make their lives better for the past 60 years and, yet today, they are actually worse off than in the 1950's in many ways.

    The anger is built up inside, and now the Democrats are using it to their advantage in creating a broader division among Blacks and Whites.

    Democrats are using their own failed policies to keep the great majority of Blacks under their control.

    Blacks need to search out the true source of the pent up anger inside and stop trusting the Democrats.

    Their votes and support are worth much more than, "a little something, just enough to quiet them down, not enough to make a difference".

    ”These Negroes, they‘re getting pretty uppity these days and that‘s a problem for us since they‘ve got something now they never had before, the political pull to back up their uppityness. Now we‘ve got to do something about this, we‘ve got to give them a little something, just enough to quiet them down, not enough to make a difference.”

    My group is 50 365 days classic premises office manager. Thanks to a grow old and even a part-time project, I would prefer to pinpoint a way for you to pull together the cost of rent in residences As i maintain auto-magically. You can get around 12 of those plus they're relatively far away from at which As i at present get the job done and even live life. Do i need to implement software system to gather buy and even maintain premises? In cases where absolutely yes, then simply what sort is definitely the most beneficial and even how come?

    Most whites think that racism no longer exists. They think that problems among blacks are now their fault and their fault alone because civil rights "fixed" everything.

  • i guess the fundamental problem is that what *some* see as a part of a police officer's work (adressing jaywalkers, arresting criminals) *some others* see the same stuff as racism.

    where i live, we don't have any blacks, but we have our distinct population that would cry "this is racism" every time one of their kin is seized with hands in foreigner's pockets.

    many of us see racism where minorities refuse to see, so I guess it all balances out

    No.

    The difficulty is that Obama has embraced Al Sharpton as a close personal friend and advsor, and Eric Holder physically hugged Sharpton in public in Ferguson.

    When the president embraces such a race baiting fraud, that is the entire cause of the difficulty.
