CNN Special: Black In America

Qurious

Im On 1.
My opinion is like yours too. While race problems are never going to fully go away, things like this show just brings it back into the forefront more, making racism a bigger issue. Can't we all just get along?
We need more shows like this and not just for blacks. Racism will never go away...so it's good they are trying to educate other races and even blacks themselves on what it is to live in America. What one black may go through another may not, its like a wake up call.

Nobody watches theses stupid shows. Documenteries are for dummies. I would rather watch jerry springer than a stupid documentary.

You don't agree that people stereotype other people based on religion? You don't agree that people stereotype other people based on their sexuality? You don't agree that people stereotype other people based on the type of job they hold? You don't agree that people stereotype other people based on their political party? I can go on.
I stereotype people based on their shoes, especially Crocs.

Me Weak Minded? That Really Makes Me, LOL :)

Is this the kind of crap you want us ignorant whitey's to learn? If you believe that "report" then you are a big part of the problem. Bill Cosby and now Barack Obama have been talking about YOU. As long as the race baiter's like Jesse Jackson keep manufacturing inflammatory statistics like that nonsense you quoted, weak minded people like you will continue to have a race problem. You need to study the speech Obama just gave to the NAACP and then come back here and preach to us ignorant rednecks.
My statement was "IF THIS IS TRUE"... I never said I believe it however…I can't say whether it is fact or fiction because I haven't seen the show or the stats on it... I am a big supporter of both Barack and Bill and I'd recommend you doing your research on both of their speeches in its entirety (and not just the parts you want to hear). I'm not preaching to you but it would be really nice if people would start getting the facts and stop making uneducated statements. And actually I'm watching this to educate myself as well...

BTW... If these are "inflammatory statistics" do you have the real stats? If so please provide them...

On Wednesday, July 23 at 9pm and Thurdsday, July 24 at 9 pm, CNN will premier a series, 'Black in America.' The first day the series will focus on examining issues, success and struggles of the black men, women and familes and the second day is dedicated entirely to the plight of the Black Man in America.


Soledad O'Brien explores the varied experiences of black women and families and investigates the reasons behind the disturbing statistics on single parenthood, disparities between black and white students in the classroom and the devastating toll of the HIV/AIDS. O'Brien reports on the progress of black women in the workplace, in universities and the status of the black middle class. Premieres in HDTV on Wednesday, July 23, 9 p.m. ET.


It is reported in the series that "companies in the U.S. have said they would hire a white man with a felony record and no high school education BEFORE they would hire a black man with NO criminal record and a 4-year degree?"


If this is true... Does anyone not see what the problem is with this and why a show such as this one is necessary?
Which companies? How many companies? Where, in America? Who owns the companies (hint: Mexicans, as a general rule, don't much care for blacks. Neither do many Chinese. In fact, to quote a Chinese dude from NYC I knew from a long time ago, "nobody likes the blacks.")? What era or period of time was that?

Blacks make up, if you believe what we've been told, less than 20% (anywhere from 13 to 17% are figures I've heard) of the entire population of the United States. Personally, I haven't believed that figure in a long, long time. I've suspected for at least 10 years that that number is much, much higher, but for whatever reason, we're not being told the truth (like that's a surprise).

What I'd like to know is, why is there such a concerted effort to ram this black-consciousness down our throats when they allegedly make up a rather small percentage of the population?

i would be if I said "white" message board...
No, no, no...in the politically correct "new speak," the key words racism, hate speech, stereotyping, and so on, no longer mean what they used to mean.

Those are now words used when the subject of those words said something that the user of those words didn't like, or agree with, but has no logical counter argument.

I'll paraphrase an example from a recent demonstration by Code Pink (and other commie bastids) in Berkley, CA, against the Marine Corps recruiting station in their precious little town:
- Illogical brain-dead protester: "The military presence promotes hatred and war!"

- Vietnam Veteran counter-protester: "Having a military ensures that you have the freedom to speak your mind in public without fear of government reprisal."

- Illogical brain-dead protester: "You're racist!"

I forget the actual conversation as it was recorded, but that was pretty much the gist of it. In other words, it was that much of a non-sequiter as it played out. But, you should get the idea.

Effectively, what were once words that accurately described reality are now used to alert others to the fact that you are the enemy and are to be silenced by any means available; that the means justify the ends, now that you are judged to be unworthy of equal status in any argument, since you are, after all, a racist, filled with hatred, and so on. You get the idea.

Gotta love liberal democrats.

You are weak minded (or a blind racist) if you even consider that report as being true. If you had of said "a few U.S. company's), that would be believable but your EXTREME example just shows where you are coming from. You definitely need an education on reality.

1. This only says that black applicants with no criminal record were no more likely to get a job than white applicants with criminal records. Doesn't say whites get hired more!
2. Sorry Charlie, blogs don't count.
3. In his description, he fails to say who conducted the study.
4. In his description, he fails to say when the study was conducted.
5. In his description, he fails to say where the applicants applied.
6. In his description, he fails to say what positions were applied for.
7. In his description, he says black exconvicts have a tough time getting hired. Well duhhhhhh
8. The link no longer works, so....
