You know this for a fact? So you know the qualifications of those that received welfare checks and not your granny? You know, I'm glad that you posted it saying it is a fact. Yup, your granny was denied because she was white. The others received welfare because they weren't white. Well, I'm glad you straightened that out for me. Whew :rolleyes:

I think that's true.  Blacks have a higher likelihood of being on the dole but the sheer number of whites means there are more whites on the dole.

I'm not trying to make a point about blacks or whites here, just about the government policies.  A lot of policies end up being "def facto" racist policies, regardless of the original intent.  Like welfare or the more common example of the death penalty.

hehe, so sue the KKK. (I was wondering why my Maalox stock was rising in value. So you were the one! Thnx!)

No kidding, but I think it goes deeper. Maybe if minorities had better education and job oportunities, they wouldn't need to take advantage of welfare or threaten lawsuits.

I can't believe I typed "def facto" instead of "de facto".  I must be listening to too much Public Enemy.

I apologize for being obtuse Gunthr. Too busy right now to get wordy, and just not in the mood for a verbal duel. I was serious about looking up past posts. We have done this subject at length and I have posted at length.

I must be busy.... Evolution is one of my favorite subjects (bio-sci major) and I've barely posted in that thread either.

You're saying that minorities and whites on welfare are not disadvantaged?

Will these reparation payments be then transfered by the minorities recieving them to those people who helped free them from slavery for free?


This a big pile o sht, mebbe this is someone's sick ploy to stir up something that will make the LA riot look like kids in a sandbox...

I doubt that there are any "pure" black africans left here that are decendants of slaves.   allmost all are in some part white mix.

fact is... people discriminate based on appearance.  Tall and/or good looking people do better in the workplace.   In Africa... the darker negroes are looked down upon by the lighter skinned ones.   Cripples are treated differently as are young/old people.  Women are treated differently than men.

The more you look like the majorities "ideal" the better off you will be.
