Why isn't anyone talking about this?: NAACP Colorado office bombed

Even if an Asian family is as poor as a black family (which 9 out of 10 times they're not FOH with that) they still aren't subjected to systematic racism.

An Asian person doesn't have to witness someone clinch their bag and slowly move to the other side of the elevator when they step on.

An Asian person doesn't have to deal with someone not making eye contact, completely ignoring, and just walking right past them when trying to ask for directions or the time (happens to me all the time).

An Asian person doesn't have to worry about applying for a job and worrying if the hiring manager can tell that they're black just from the name alone and therefore won't even be considered from the jump.

An Asian person doesn't have to worry about coming from a certain type of neighborhood and only seeing it start to improve when they ready to jack up the rent and get rid of the people there. Good old gentrification.

I bet you schools with mostly Asian students aren't using 7 year old textbooks.

I bet you schools with mostly Asian students aren't cutting every single arts & craft/music/dance/academic and etc. program in sight.


Sorry if that argument was over and done with y'all and I brought it back up.

Sounds like an awful instructor, with poor leadership skills.

I hope I'm not trying to master the LSAT, only to expect to receive an instructor like that.

Don't worry, that's the least of your contradictions.

Good luck with that LSAT.

Do you even realize that by your post, you're making BROAD generalizations about Asians and Blacks alike?

Wasn't you saying that asian families are just as poor as black families a generalization?

Wasn't you saying that black people make excuses and refuse to blame everybody else a generalization?

 Rush Hour got me. 

Does it make me a bad person when I'm skeptical of a person, any color to be honest, asking for the time in this day in age with everyone having cell phones. I guess I'm skeptical cause I know dudes you have stolen phones that way and who have gotten their phones stolen.

That's an old trick...you're right to be wary of that.

I quoted an article regarding the specialized highschool exam in NYC that indicated that contrary to popular belief, there's a very large percentage of poor Asians in NYC.  YOU took that and generalized by saying that 9 out of 10 times, an Asian isn't as poor as a black person.  Maybe you have't interacted with many poor Asians in NYC so you have this perception that most Asians are rich or something.

As for your second question, please find a single post I've made in this thread or any other where I've said that all black people make excuses.  There's no doubt in my mind that racism still exists today, but for you to suggest that every single black person in this country has experienced 100% of the scenarios you've presented is clearly a generalization.  Everyone has their own personal experiences and faces racism in different ways.

That being said,  do you think that only black people face racism in this country?  When I tried to share my own personal experiences with racism in this country as an Asian, I'm ridiculed by the black posters here because they think I'm trying to compare the racism faced by Asians with the racism faced by blacks.  Who ever said they were synonymous?  Why can't they be mutually exclusive?  Does every black person in this country face the EXACT same racism?

You guys call me ignorant, yet time and time again, you refuse to even consider the viewpoint of another person. Instead, anyone who posts anything you don't agree with is automatically labeled a racist or NT's favorite term, a SWS.  While Method may not have answered my questions regarding education, for the sake of discussion, I even agreed to read the book he recommended.  If I recommended a book for you guys to read, would you?  I'm willing to bet the answer is no. To me, ignorance is the failure to look past your own preconceived notions and at least consider the opinions of others.

While my personal experiences as an Asian may not be the same as the experiences of a black person, is the racism or discrimination I've faced any less egregious?  You don't think I've been called racial slurs or called derogatory names?  You don't think I've been passed up for jobs where I was significantly more qualified than the white guy who got the job instead of me?

At least Method was civil enough to put some thought into his responses to me, unlike the rest of you who merely make accusations and snide remarks without offering anything of actual substance towards a discussion.
 
Complains about snide remarks while making snide remarks :lol:

Hopefully you can let your fetish for black people go

What you fail to appreciate is that many of your recent comments have been deeply offensive to MANY NikeTalk members, myself included.

I think the common denominator here is that it's hurtful to presume that you understand someone else's experience better than they - especially if you haven't made an honest and sincere effort to truly LISTEN and LEARN by acknowledging and respecting others' accounts of their own lived experience - and that cuts both ways.

It's a bit like someone saying, "Oh, it's not that tough to be a poor minority.  I would know, I watched every episode of The Fresh Prince of Bel Air on Netflix." 

We may all suffer differently from structural inequality, but we all do suffer - and that should give us all a common incentive.  

None of us are free until ALL of us are free.

There's no disconnect between Black's and Asians...

Dudes that try to fit into the dominant society do so by ******** on other minorities

I rarely see Asians or black dudes at odds.. Its mostly internet trolls trying to put down black people and uplift Asians in order to deflect from the dominant society's strangle holdnoj the system...

A system in which blacks NOR asianst can have strong control...

Name asian judges, lawmakers, politicians (outside of Hawaii), CEOs, etc...

They're a minority in positions of power just like black people.

Ironically, you're one of the people who always tries to change the topic of a thread into some discussion about blacks.  This thread was about the NAACP bombing and meth clearly stated he'd rather not sidetrack and go into the whole education discussion here, so I'm obliging.  Meanwhile you post the following in this very same thread:

What is there to say about the guy who threw his own kid off a bridge?  He's a scumbag and deserves to die.  As a parent of two young children myself, I can't fathom how ANYONE could harm their own child.  What possible agenda could there be associated with that story?  Why don't you enlighten me?

While I completely agree with what you posted, especially the portion I've underlined, can you honestly tell me that the majority of the black posters here even attempt to understand the experience of another? NT LOVES to throw around the term SWS (suspected white supremacist), even to those who aren't even white.  Every thread always ends up into a race discussion because certain posters here always have to make everything about race.  

For example, I have no idea what "agenda" Mr Marcus was referring to regarding the thread about the dad who threw his kid off the bridge, but there were several posters who claimed that had the dad been black, the outcome would have been different (ie. the cops would've shot him).  Maybe you can tell me, since you made a point about thread derailing in this thread, what exactly race has to do with a story about a dad who killed his kid?

This is the real reason you keep posting... you feel slighted by the niketalk/American black demographic...

This whole debate has more to do with your personal feelings towards blacks than the actual facts of America's racial dynamics

That's a sweeping and offensive generalization.   It's no different than if someone attempted to generalize all White members' posts based on a very small, yet very vocal, minority, have posted in a handful of recent topics.  
 
Meth said everything that needed to be said. All I ask is stop camping out in threads about blacks all the time and show the same concern in other threads with crime from the dominant society.

Fine, let me narrow it down for you.  Can you honestly tell me that the "very small, yet VERY VOCAL MINORITY" who always seem to end up in these race discussions, even attempt to understand the experiences of another"?

Maybe you should stop trying to turn every damn thread into a race discussion first.  I'm still waiting to hear your response as to my supposed "agenda" regarding the thread about the dad who killed his kid.  I gave you a response so why don't you give yours?
