[QUOTE]Originally posted by Egmond Codfried: [QB] [b]EVEN WITH A BLACK MAN IN THE WHITE HOUSE; BLACKS SHOULD NOT ENLIST![/b] Very nice that the discussion has a more civil tone and is more international in outlook. I’m reading Shelby Steele’s book about Obama. The book is quite entertaining as he is rather colourful and humorous in his examples when explaining his opinions. A bit puzzling and highly contradictory, though, because Steele himself is bi-racial like Obama, and credits both their white side of the family for their mainstream successes. But he suddenly slips into ‘we’ when he discusses blacks! Next he accuses blacks of being racialist, by talking constantly about their black identity. It seems overall like he mostly wants to please white readers who do not want to be accused of being racist, because he presents whites and white institution as the underdog. As the victims of angry black activist who unjustly accuse them of being racist. So now the society or the status quo has turned the tables and are the blacks the ones who discriminate. First this society lays this horrible racist discrimination practices like: the one drop rule, Jim Crow, lynching horror; on blacks, and as black fight these horrors and formulate a group identity and different strategies to different era’s and locations and are successful doing so; they suddenly become the racist e.g. the Racialist. This is like threatening a country but criticising then for arming themselves against the threat of an invasion. Do they expect peoples, countries etc to just sit and take the abuse? Living inside the belly of this colonial monster I see the other side of colonialism and how they are always right, about anything. They talk endlessly of how the Germans occupied them for (only) five years, but when the Surinamese talk about 350 years of colonisation we are told to hush up. Or when they want to register blacks by ethnicity, we cannot protest by comparing it with what the Nazi’s did with the Jews, forcing them to wear yellow stars and putting a big J in their passports. By somehow forcing a Black Obama on us, they want to invalidate the ‘racialist’ thinking, and proof that America is racist no more. This I do not buy, especially when I look at the statistics about Blacks in prison. How come there are so many blacks in the US prison system if there is no racism anymore? Does it mean that blacks are more criminal and dangerous then whites? Isn’t that a racist idea to begin with, no? ========================================================== [b]Shelby Steele: Why Obama Can't Win[/b] News & Notes , December 4, 2007 • Writer Shelby Steele has spent a lifetime thinking and writing about race and racial politics in America. His latest book, A Bound Man, looks at racial identity and the populous politics which have made up much of Sen. Barack Obama's political career. Though Obama is now the front-runner in Iowa's Democratic presidential caucuses, Steele — a research fellow at the Hoover Institution — says he can't win. ========================================================== http://www.egyptsearch.com/forums/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=15;t=000932 [b]THE WORST US STATES FOR A BLACK MAN FOR ARREST AND INCARCERATION[/b] http://files.blog-city.com/files/A05/141484/p/f/prison_drug_race_state.jpg quote: ________________________________________ Tabacco Speaks: I see the trend here. States with very low Black populations look for Blacks to incarcerate. 6 of the Worst 10 have less than 1% Black population. None of the Worst 10 has 5% Black population, let alone the 12.3% national average. Only 1 State, Rhode Island (4.5%) has as much as 4% Black population. Note that none of the Worst 10 are in the Deep South. Florida (14.6%) and Arkansas (15.7%) have the lowest % of Black residents in the Deep South. Mississippi (36.3%) has more than 1 in 3 Black residents. I guess that’s why the Deep South is solidly Republican – rednecks don’t like living among a large Black population. The Worst 10 all have miniscule Black populations, and they still jail every Black they can. And they don’t need Rockefeller Drug Laws to do it. Who would have thought it could be that dangerous for a Black man to drive through South Dakota? ________________________________________ [/QB][/QUOTE]
