    So by your logic whites are oppressed. Wasn't one of the 2 people denied white? So, both whites and blacks are both oppressed?

    your attempt at condescension would be much more effective if you could put together a sentence properly.

    whenever you have time there slick!

    i shall patiently await your posting of said facts that say crowley claimed he was looking for a black guy even though the neighbor didnt report him to be black.

    Don't know the issue with Gates or Mass. law. I never implied he was arrested for Pi or alcohol was even present at the time. Someone just kept saying over and over that people do not get arrested for mouthing off. I pointed out it is very common for people to get arrested for mouthing off and Disorderly Conduct and PI were the common charges in these circumstances.

    I am not gonna look up something to prove to you something that should be common sense. They have a meter reader show that comes on tv though and you are welcome to watch it when you like. My wife watches this and I have seen people get arrested on that show. That is not where my experience or knowledge on the subject comes from, but it might be helpful for you.

    In that instance she was oppressed as well. That's not hard to admit.

    actually ill go ahead and do you a favor - you must be really busy b/c it literally took me about 2 seconds to find a bunch of articles that totally shoot down your argument.

    a little advice - if you are going to act all condensing towards someone at least have your facts straight - otherwise you just look like a fool.

    Correct, she was not her entire race,Just as he was and not his entire race. Clever usage of words also. When talking about him you say blacks are oppressed. When talking about her you say she was.

    No that is one instance and an improvement in race relations, but the President doesn't equal all power. Whites run the corporations, congress, school boards, law enforcement agencies, etc.

    Think about it, if all whites discriminated against blacks because of their race, it would go back to the era of Jim Crow or worse. If all blacks that were in a position to discriminated against whites looking for jobs, promotions, law enforcement etc. there would be very little change in the way things work, and for some people there would be no change at all.

    That's what I mean when I say the consequences of white racism are far more grave than black racism.

    Again, you don't understand affirmative action. Cops do pull over blacks in situations where whites would not be pulled over.

    I never once said blacks have a free pass on anything.

    Absolutely untrue. Being a black person and applying to college is a HUGE advantage.

    Been having computer problems (hard drive failed, video card failed, all at once. bummer!), so I skimmed along in this thread after my post to see if anyone else articulated what I was thinking when I made my comment. Unsurprisingly, B-Bob nailed it. Sorry, Sishir, but you are wrong.

    Hey slick, instead of picking on my typo which I did edit in the subsequent post right below it, spend the time educating yourself of the facts. I await your educated response slick.

    "The tape appears to support the claim by the neighbor's attorney that her 911 call had nothing to do with race. And it contradicts the police report that said the neighbor, Lucia Whalen, reported seeing two black males."

    At smaller, private colleges where admission criteria are flexible, diversity is low and current Court rulings and statewide voter-initiatives have no authority. But at large public schools that already enroll blacks in large numbers, not so much. I think what resentful white kids sometimes forget is that, yes, there really are smart blacks who can get into good colleges on their own, and that AA programs usually seek out those kids first before cold-calling the rest of us or setting up a booth at Popeye's.

    It really doesn't matter, though, because it all evens out with a swift and brutal vengeance in the corporate world.

    Again, the students have to be qualified to get in to the college.

    define "qualified". If they were truly qualified, then why would we need AA?

    they were not "allegedly"discussing "race", they were debating "white privilege", a fairly specific topic in the general category of "race," when the punch was thrown.
