It's really ironic that you say this to me while you do the same thing.

 

I'm done with this. Knock yourself out.

Did you miss the part about me explaining how affirmative action directly affected my family? How did it affect you again?

lol a guy broke into my house once. I'm an expert on home break-ins

 

Also, I think it's pretty bad ass that you completely dismissed everything I said a couple posts ago that explained how the type of thing that happened to your brother ends up happening. But nevermind, you're the "expert." Go spread your gospel.

 

I couldn't possibly have a point.Like I said, I'm done. This is getting nowhere and I have better things to do.

See, it's not that simple. Schools in minority neighborhoods tend to suck. Bad.

Whos fault is that?

The students. Because they are all stupid.

Youve clearly stated in this thread that you have never been a victim of blatant racism. If you dont think what happened to my brother was racist thats one thing, but if you disagree with AA as you say you do then I am very qualified to vent on the subject. To be perfectly honest, a lot more credible than you.

The students. Because they are all stupid.

I went to a public school in a poor neighborhood and managed to go to college. Schooling isnt a race issue, its an economic issue. There are people of every creed in those neighborhoods.

What high school did you go to again?

I'm curious to know where you're going with this

Well again you bring so much to the discussion. Since you cant find it in a google search. Why not ask another supporter if its true..?

 

You're the one asserting that. Give me a source.

Actually the quote you questioned wasnt from me but I have no interest in doing research for you on a topic that isnt even under scrutiny because even Obama supporters acknowledged the type of relationship Obama had with Wright. All youve done in this thread is criticized other peoples opinions and asked for sources because you dont even know the facts of the debate. There isnt a shred of contribution from you in this discussion.

Im saying that I think you have no right to say anything is handed to people because theyre white an make it sound like black people have two strikes against them coming out of the womb when you have stated that none of the things listed as hurdles for the black community have ever applied to you. However, when I say I never had these bulls*** advantages and in all actuality I have lived through the stereotypes you are trying to portray as black problems and overcame them but since Im white it doesnt count.

 

Now when I ask what high school you went to its because I want to know if you are credible enough to make the claims you have because of life experiences and not because its tolerated because of the color of your skin. Thats what racism is. Thats where the double standard lies and you are in no position to criticize my thoughts or opinions or even life experiences because you havent been through any of it. Who is the one thats racist when Im trying to form opinions based on what people have been through in their lives and you are making assumptions of people based on the color of their skin?

Since when was Elmhurst a hotbed of racial tension?

I went to Whitney Young. But I didn't get in there because I had good grades or test scores, I made sure I told them I had a black mother about 4 or 5 times so I could be sure I got in. I know that in my going, a white kid who had near-perfect grades didn't get in. Good for me. F*** him. I'm a minority and I'm entitled to it.

Well, I went to college, got a job and bought a condo in Elmhurst. Thats not where I grew up or was raised. Thanks for your concern.

Finally a moment of clarity. At least you acknowledged it.

Had you asked me in any other way besides that condescending know-it-all tone you just used and have been using I might've actually given you a straight answer. Instead I'll just leave it at "NOYFB"

Perhaps you can enlighten us with your extensive race relations background.

Also, Im glad to see youre making the same contribution to this thread as everyone else. Everyone else abandoned the issue and you feel the need to make light of a topic based on where I live now. Maybe you should also pick up some literature from Harriet Beecher Stowe. Watching MTV rock the vote doesnt make you qualified to condone racism.

Have you read anything in the thread or do you just jump in to not contribute

Alright, fine. We're done.
