50 years of progress...

Why are we talking about Miley Cyrus? I have no idea of what her performance was, and no desire to watch it. But she is not some kind of representative of progress or lack of progress in 50 years.

I posted the video of her performance .. I doubt if you'll watch it all the way to the end of 5 minutes of excruciating dumbness.
 
ITs going to take a long time. Generational change is necessary.

I was speaking with a Jewish friend last week who wanted my opinion about why Black people get away with an attitude of entitlement while Jews don't. Now I am not suggesting I accepted her premise, but I did explain that the problems Jews have faced in our country are not akin to those the African American has faced. She might have had an argument about Jews in Germany, but I don't know how they are treated now days. But I explained to her that the major difference was caused by a separation from ones culture and family. Slaves who were brought here were separated from all culture they knew and all family they knew, and for many generations any and all attempts at rebuilding a culture or family structure were prevented. (in some ways still are) Add to that the fact that African Americans look different than white Americans and were segregated in many ways from the power centers of our culture and you can see how Jewish Americans as a group are in a different place than many African Americans. So, do African Americans have a strong sense of entitlement? Some do, but I understand it, most did not start with the same benefits the rest of our society generally starts with, because our (my) ancestors took it from them.

That was a very good response brother.
 
50 years ago, after delivering his "I Have a Dream" speech, Dr. King was invited to the White House for an audience with the President. Yesterday after commemorating the anniversary of the speech, President Obama will go home to the White House.

Politics aside, if you like the President or not... thats a sign of great progress. When you hear people lament on how bad American society is becoming, reflect on the progress of the last 50 years..

What does progress have to do with Obama returning to the White House?
 
We clearly have a LONG way to go, but the election of Barak Obama is more than symbolic or "Sort of Change".

A large percentage of white Americans voted for President Obama, saying that this black man was more qualified for the job than his white opponent. This is a HUGE shift in the mind of a MAJORITY of white Americans since the 1960's. WE still have institutionalized racism and we some overt racism but we don't have the system and belief structure we had in the 1960's.

But Obama isn't black, according to BAC.
 
President Obama is half black.

I guess he told you that stupid shit because he knows I have him on ignore. He obviously didn't think you would re-post his ignorance.

I've never said that Obama isn't black.

I have said that it's a shame that he is. He murders innocent people.
 
50 years of progress?

But since you said Zimmerman was a mulatto, that would hold true for Obama also.
Why don't you want Obama to be black?

What? Blacks look different from whites? No freakimg way? Does the media know?
 
Oh, I thought it was ridiculous... I'm just not outraged by it. I don't think its a sign of the moral decay of our society. It was just dumb, but heck it worked for her purposes, everyone is talking about her. Many who did not know who she was now know her.

Much like your child associating a well dressed man with the president, millions of children likely saw miley and think her act was cool and the thing to do. Is that not some kind of decay? Moral decay? Probably not. But it's a sign we're rotting when something as stupid as Miley twerking is an act fit for the stage.
 
Its amazing you think that Al Sharpton is a bad human being. its cold hard proof your a fucking racist

I didn't say Al Sharpton is a bad human being, Desh, did I?

The contraction of you are is you're, not your.

Cold hard proof you're ignorant?
