no, exceptional means rare. its rare for, say, a child in the projects, going to crappy schools, eating crappy food, with only one parent, to "make it". i do agree that it "applies to everyone, all races, creeds, religions". but only one race had their culture obliterated by the U.S.A. (in all its forms). your view is simple and inconsiderate.
Ahhh I see, you want it to be EASY, well pal its not. It never has been nor will it ever be. That is why I said it takes some discipline. How nice it would be if knowledge, money, blondes with big boobs, and ice cream sandwiches just rained down from the sky. You have to work for it. A crappy school is only as crappy as the effort you put forth in trying to learn. The problem is that it is too easy to be an idiot and make lots of money breaking the law and making a bad situation even worse. Again, DISCIPLINE. This thread did start with the topic of a black man that is a harvard professor did it not? What do the Indians have to do with this? Hardly, and coming from you not a real surprise. How can "you get out what you put in", "work hard and do the right things and you will be rewarded", and "don't wait for something to be handed to you, instead go out and make it happen" be inconsiderate? Simple, sure, a very simple concept indeed, but one that has fallen off the radar.
it isnt that rare if that kid is a recent immigrant. it is really just blacks that are stuck in the ghetto cycle. immigrants send their kids to good colleges. what does that mean? why does it matter? would africans have had it better off if their slave owners brought ove a tribal drum for them to beat on occasionally? are they doomed to failure because they forgot their primitive stone age rituals or something? what are you talking about?
Why are we still dealing with the attitude of those generations removed when we now have an onslaught of pregnant teenagers running around everywhere? We got phuck ups dressed in black gunning down school mates and we have Oprah, daughter of the devil himself giving away microwave ovens to already rich white women. Is there not enough sh!t in this world today that we still have to rehash what we, as a responsible society today could never fix what was broke back when film was just invented? Seems to me with the mentality of some, there is not supposed to be a fix, just another ancient something to bitch about. In Germany, old white people hate young white people. I say lets focus on what can be fixed now and stop worrying about those who are not looking for the fix. I buy a house with 80 year old iron sewage pipes. A pipe burst so I am gonna blame the dead dude that put that pipe in 80 years ago or should I call his grandson and take it out on him? Today is a much better place to be, if you are trying to fix something.
it very egotistical to think that you are who you are only because of what you did. discipline isnt in the genes (well, maybe you think it is). AGAIN, koreans or indians did not have their cultures blown up. sure the immigrants themselves likely suffered discrimination but their values (discipline) were already set, or at least that of their parents were. yes we are really just talking about blacks that are stuck in the ghetto cycle. so are they just genetically inferior? are they a product of colonial american free market exploitation? or perhaps this is all just because of the great society? wouldnt be talking about this at all obviously if they were never enslaved in the US for 200 yrs. seriously, this specific point you continue to use is worthless. perhaps we should add another amendment to the constitution and be done with it---"hey blackie, your alternatives are worse. suck it up"
I sure as hell wasn't going to wait around for someone else to do it for me, or to give me anything. You must think I come from money or something? It amazes me when I look back and realize how poor my family was when I was a child. Am I proud, sure, why wouldn't I be, am I egotistical about it, sh!t no. I haven't done anything to be egotistical about. Point is, I didn't have it any better and was certianly in a much worse postition than many I know. You really have no point. You are just showing your true bleeding heart liberal ass tendencies. What a joke.
is your position that whitey has removed the discipline from blacks culture and caused them to be bums content to live in the ghetto? kinda. not all of them. but the west african ones are kinda dumb. in africa, there is an enormous amount of genetic diversity. barack obama is kenyan. he is a lot different than an american black whose ancestors are from west africa, like mali or somewhere. looks different, has different skills. ethiopians and kenyans are smart. dudes from chad are dumbasses. in africa, the superior tribes beat down the dumbasses and enslaved them, then sold the idiots to europeans, who brought those morons to the americas. same thing with asians. to group them all together is crazy. japanese are smart, chinese too. vietnamese are idiots. they are totally different. it really is inaccurate to say "inferior" because people simply have different skills. the japanese kid is better than me at math. so i guess i am technically "inferior", and in general whites are inferior. but i am good at some things. same thing with every race. they have adapted to have different skills. africa is a huge place, with an enormous amount of genetic diversity, with people as different from each other as whites are from them, so i cant really say "black people" and have it mean anything. for the purposes of this discussion i mean western african former slave american blacks. final note. when i say a race is a bunch of morons, i dont really mean that. i mean collectively they are a tiny bit worse at some skill on average. individuals could obviously be awesome at something, and we should never judge individuals this way.
That is exactly his position. It is our fault because we are white, we should feel sorry for them and be ashamed of who we are. Egotistical bastards. FU GR
ok, don't you think you are going a little overboard. All he is trying to say is do not dismiss the fact that because you are white, you got a head start in life. You do not have to deal with the fact that you wont be denied a loan because of your color, nor will you not get a job because you are white. And don't give me the affirmative action line because that is nothing but a front. You wont get arrested because you are white, you wont get beaten with a club by the police because you are white, you don't fit a description. You will never know what any of that is like, so don't act like everything is equal because it's not. How are any of you people crying about Obama and Jeremiah Wright are anti white, any different than Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton. At least Jesse and Al have a history to base their complaints on. Do they go overboard, hell yes they do, but even people in the black community know that. Until you are a product of racism, don't act like every person of a different color, creed, or gender don't face it, or should just shut up about it when they do. Because if it were you, you would be front line bitching about it.
