    equal rights have been granted for less than 50 years. And you still have people like esteban who will judge a man based on the color of their skin.

    When you have to resort to personal insults, you've lost the argument.

    At least you admitted to being racist, though.

    150 years is miniscule in the context of an entire culture being destroyed, read your ancient history. We are only looking at 3-6 generations after the fact, which is nothing when it comes to education and prosperity. Also, it is less than 50 years since 1964, which is an amazingly short period of time in context to the happenings of the time.

    I'm not sure I said that,

    Racism is more prevalent on the white side, but that racism comes from unfounded ignorance inherited from ignorant sons of slave-owning ignorants. The black community on the other hand, needs to be viewed with finesse and understanding, fore they have always been the target of such ignorance, and as a result the education system is still broken in black communities.

    When you have nothing left, start race baiting threads.

    Holy crap! Is this correct? Blacks have a right to be racist? Tell me, knote that I'm reading this wrong.

    You might think Obama is going to be remembered for his blackness, but he is going down for the liberal he is. Nothing more, nothing less.

    OBAMA the LIBERAL.

    ahahahahahahha.

    someone needs to bring a proper social democrat to American politics, I need to see more people get socialist rage attacks

    fyi, I would vote for Obama because he's a communist, just of the save-capitalism garden variety.

    Yeah, that's what I meant. Sure.

    Still, and a bit more serious, he's a liberal and as far as conservatives go, that's how he will be remember.

    I usually don't but I slipped... Supporting your own don't mean I'm racist... Denouncing others because of your support of others is what makes you racist... I'm not saying "**** the white man" or "we better than yall" or even "You owe us"...I'm just supporting my own when presented.... And this past election gave me the opportunity to vote for a Bull****ter that happened to be black.... Same as any other election...

    That's interesting because China was starving to death by the millions at that time in the middle of the greatest famine of all time. They seem to have recovered pretty well in the same exact time period.

    Are American blacks the most prosperous blacks in the world? What other country has black people at comparable levels of per capita income? With sufficient critical mass of blacks?

    A different race does not make up the majority of the government in China, last I looked.

    And I'm not sure that the famine in China was the "greatest of all time".

    Regardless, completely different scenarios.

    I'm not sure why that matters. A person is a person, and should be compared to all other people. Comparing wealth and prosperity by race, especially in the land of the free, is an anthropological fallacy.

    I agree with this line completely, that's why I can't support affirmative action programs.
