Do you really think that an uneducated white person will be employed before an educated black one?

yes if his parents have good friends then yes and it happens now.
This is saying what in your mind about white people in general? But of course, this is fact, and not racist right?

Statistics please.

Oh, and a black employer would not show preference? However, if that was the case it is just "establishing your racial pride", I presume.

the only truth here is---nobody owns this country---our forefathers were all immigrants- it is just our inability to realize that--WE all feel entitled--if truth be told the indians were here before any of us--But that being said---the path to contentment is education- hard work--and saving--i used to work at a restuarant in cortez colorado where there were several UTE women working there-you want to talk predjudice, they not only won't talk to you they won't even look at you if you are a white person--and you know what i don't blame them--

I agree.
And I wasn't referring any more to righteous indignation on your part than to Nash's.

"hmmm lets see, when slaves ran away from their slave masters, when slaves killed their slave masters for killing their family, when the underground railroad was started, when blacks were living under segregation, or how about now when whites want blacks to to stop being whiny about slavery" - Nash

Facts of history are not examples of righteous indignation. Using those facts of history as a sort of angry armament is.
Likewise, from the opposite point of view, accusation of whininess is also.

As a woman alone, walking down a street of any neighborhood with more than it's share of under-employed, under-educated youth of whatever color, do you know what scares me?
Any man who looks angry. Or sounds angry, maybe because of the music he's listening to. All that rap music sounds so angry to me, and it has become just as popular with whites and others as with blacks.

There's a very interesting article in prrriiide's thread starter for the thread, Interesting Take on the Wright Flap. It was posted on 3/22. I'd be very interested to learn your responses to it.
I felt it had the ring of truth to it, but others in that thread differed strongly.

No, facts of history are not anger. They sometimes are events which inspire anger. But that is not the same thing. Anger and history are not the same thing.
I know that what Bododie and I said were different. That's the point. She was specifying "black" in response to your post that historical truths give blacks justification for anger. What I was saying is that I am afraid of anger, no matter what color person it comes from. The music is nothing more than an indication that the person may be angry.
