Soon Jim Crow laws will be brought back under the guise of progressiveism.


I have no problem with it whatsoever, as long as other schools and businesses can do the same thing with any other demographics. Which they cant, so this will presumably be challenged and stopped.

Srs tho, black dudes who feel they cant compete with white people or want to be a majority somewhere should just go to Nigeria. Economy is growin down there. Most Americans today come from people who packed up the negligible amount of anything they had and emigrated abroad to work their way up where there was more promise.

Black people who feel disadvantaged in America, go to Nigeria homies.

Race relations in this country seem to be worse than the 90s & 00s.

It is amusing today that "liberal progressive" political theory encourages racial segregation.

Cant really complain tho. On the whole it doesnt seem integration has done anything positive for blacks or whites. It probably would have been better for blacks to be responsible for their own communities, and still have the freedom for any business person, diplomat, entrepreneur etc from the community to go move to, visit, work in white areas and vice versa on an individual basis, just like asians and indians do, as merit necessitated.

But "integrating" blacks into white areas where theyre still segregated but get welfare and have their cities paid for by a pittance of white pity dollars hasnt seemed to produce much good. Every other demographic in America had to sink or swim when they came here initially. That culture has never, ever been instilled in the black community. It's not their fault, but it is a fact. Integration has made them whipping boys far more than segregation.


But the cliche-spewing mobb-think sjw's who bleet the social dogma simply hear "omg segregation? Racisdttttt!!!! Hittl3r!!!!! Racist hitler redneck stupid republican RACIST!!"

It's like talking ideas with them is like having a conversation with a cud-chewing cow.

Blacks sticking together = Poverty

Blacks integrating into society = Success



Black stay losing with this mentality.

:hammerhead:

I know the early 90s were turbulent with some unfortunate instances in California (Watts, OJ) but I don't recall having people make everything about race like it is now.

Maybe I was just too young but I certainly remember the racial climate of the mid-late 90s to be not as divisive as the bullshit we gotta hear about now with everything that happens.

This just resonates with me because when I went to visit UCONN for choosing a school 5 years ago I was blown away how White it was. Then as I walked around, a group of official touring students walked by, and all of them were White. Then, 10 minutes later another student group walked by, all Black, Latino, or Arab. They literally had a different tour for minorities.

What's wrong with this?

i assume OP is trying to portray it is negative, but not sure why.

As long as the black dorms arn't much more run down or shittier than the other dorms, this is a positive thing IMO. Transitioning to a university and living in a dorm away from home is a HUGE transition. If you have a roommate you are incompatible with, it is probably the #1 way to ruin your university experience. lets be real most people are most comfortable with someone of the same race as them. it's not a coincidence most asians and blacks all manage to form their closest friends amongst people of the same race.

nothing wrong with that, it's only natural. just look at the animal kingdom. you see the same type of birds hanging out with the same type of birds.

The Asians rolled DEEP where I went to college. By far the most exclusive racial group by far on campus.

Those muh fckers would take up the first three rows of the lecture halls where the big joints were, the classes like in the movies with stadium seating.

They cheat the most as well.

[ROCSteady]

I didn't have any insight into that I just know they didn't associate with anybody other than Asians, usually of the same gender. When they were forced to role stag thru campus, tended to be standoffish and meek but once they got to that course with the three row wave up front, muh fckers wouldn't ever shut the fck up. LOL

yeah i visited auburn last week and all you saw were white people until you went to the diversity department. when you went there there were indians, asians, latinos, other blacks etc. it made me more comfortable to be around other blacks, and that's saying something since i grew up in a really white town

Segregation is back in the US? :facepalm

yes, and blacks are doing it to themselves. its amazing to witness.

[UK2K]

It's embarrassing.

Generations of young blacks who had every chance to make something of themselves, and never did. If you're black, you can get into college with lower test scores. You can get jobs you don't qualify for. You get special privileges and special dorms and special clubs and special scholarships and special everything simply for being black.

How many Oscars you think will go to blacks next year? How many do you think will deserve it?

We've gone away from basing rewards on merit and instead freely hand it out to blacks in this country, and still, STILL they remain at the bottom of the shitter in this country.

It's amazing to me. It really is.

Like I've always said, I would be ashamed and embarrassed for someone to tell me I wasn't good as someone else, but they're going to give something to me anyway because I am black. That's sad.

Now, you get your own dorm so you don't even have to see whitey. You think that will all of a sudden make blacks study harder and stop dropping out? I doubt it, but I guess money well spent.

Ok, but, minorities in the military are just as young and immature, and they have absolutely no problem transitioning into a world with other races.

Its a mentality thing. Its not a 'Im not comfortable thing.'

That's called an excuse.

I agree. So does Clarence Thomas.



Thomas has recollected that his Yale law degree was not taken seriously by law firms to which he applied after graduating. He said that potential employers assumed he obtained it because of affirmative action policies.[17] According to Thomas, he was "asked pointed questions, unsubtly suggesting that they doubted I was as smart as my grades indicated."[18]

"I peeled a fifteen-cent sticker off a package of cigars and stuck it on the frame of my law degree to remind myself of the mistake I'd made by going to Yale. I never did change my mind about its value."

Quite frankly though, if students only feel comfortable in these situations and their university experience reinforces it, perhaps they'll begin to only seek employment at places largely of color. Then other businesses won't have to worry about fulfilling diversity quotas and hiring based on affirmative action and all that stuff. So it may not be great for their own development, but if that's what they wanna do I don't see it as a problem for anyone else.

It won't be mandated or anything, the minorities who feel perfectly at ease around white people can still dorm in the whiter places. It'll just separate the loud, obnoxious, annoying ones quite honestly. It's kind of a win for everybody.

[UK2K]

And as an FYI, the motivation to build these new dorms is that blacks graduate at a much lower rate than other races.

So the solution is not to find other ways to integrate them and surround them with successful students.

No, the solution is 'go over there in your corner'. Similarly, we do that with our cities now. "Here blacks, take this corner of the city over here, and just stay away from everything successful".

Ben Carson is sitting back, laughing right now, because I'm sure he was told he couldn't do it either.

No they wont, they'll drop out at even higher rates until it gets to the point where we have to start allowing people to graduate because they are just completely incapable of making it on their own, like they're doing in California high schools now.

The thing is, for the most part the black people who succeed in the business world tend to be the ones that have more modest/european outlooks and upbringing anyhow. Most probably won't even choose to live in the black dorms.

THe black dorms are gonna be for all the black kids who really SHOULDNT be in college anyway, but everyone is encouraging them to go and the state is paying them a scholarship so it can say more blacks are in college, and they're just gonna hoot n holler and have a mad real world thing going in the dorms. It's honestly BETTER to just separate them. Then they won't annoy everyone else in the other dorms. And it's not like they were going to be rhodes scholars anyway. Most of them shouldn't be there in the first place.

I think it's a win-win.

:oldlol:


Honestly, the whole education system is a joke anyway. The shit becomes more meaningless every day with stories like this.

If people wanna attend a university that has black-only dorms and safe spaces and gives out good grades for free to make people happy, let them waste their money. It'll be a good life lesson for them.

It's better for the majority of students, but not better for the blacks who are going to be living in the dorm.

I get what you're saying, but instead of tossing the bad apples to the side, I'd rather see them try to grow a stronger tree.

Separating the worthless from the successful won't do the worthless any good other than making them feel better for a few months until they drop out.

In the campus context, some of them are. So are some of the white students. But proportionally, blacks are more of them at a typical university. Especially the blacks who only wanna live in the mad real world dorms.

So even the black community that wants to better themselves and get an education are believed to be the drain on society? My goodness racism is deeply rooted in some of you. Doesn't matter what they do, whether they get education or good jobs, some of you will view them as "ghetto" no matter what.

[kuniva_dAMiGhTy]

What a terrible idea lol

[UK2K]

Apparently, UCONN believes they are.

That's why the new dorm is being built, because the abysmal graduation rate means blacks couldn't make it in the 'for everybody' dorm.

Don't shoot the messenger.

You read it as racism because you want to.

Nobody will argue Ben Carson is a drain on society, and he's black.

So it's obviously not racism. Stop turning to that word whenever you want to refuse to accept reality.

There's that word again, racism. Replace it with excuses.

You're a joke. You believe blacks in society are born handicapped and can't achieve on their own? Why? Why can't a black person graduate high school like everybody else? Why can't a black person score the same on their tests like everybody else?

Do you feel the Oscars should have at least 13% of its nominees be black, just because?

That's a shame you see people as lower. I don't apologize for believing that people can achieve whatever they want with hard work. You keep telling blacks that they're not good enough, its worked out so well recently. Tell them that long enough until they believe it.

I'll keep telling people you can be whatever you want to be if you're willing to put in the work.

Look at what you quoted, "excuses" does not fit anywhere in that sentence if you replace the word. And I'm not making excuses. You are talking about high school, while this thread is about college. I'm saying that the black students in college ARE successful and don't need excuses, yet you are pretending that the black students that are successful in college are essentially the same as the uneducated black people in the ghetto. You making that assumption is the part that is you viewing them as lower.

Aren't you mister "words are important and must be used properly"? Where is your criticism of UK2K's misuse of racism as a synonym for excuses? Particularly given that he misinterpreted my use of the word as me talking about oppression, which is not even that aspect of racism I was talking about when he called me out for it.

Yarp.

[Dresta]

I called you a racist. Everyone else seems to be doing it, why not me?


Maybe people will eventually realise, that this word, along with "fascism," no longer has any real meaning, so long have they been abused. That's usually what happens when people abuse language; it's why the word liberal is falling off the deep end, like the word libertine did before it.

Obviously UConn disagrees with you.

If you have an issue with it, take it up with them, because they are saying the exact opposite of what you're saying.

What you are saying is what I am saying, but you have the 'racist' word so ingrained in your head, you aren't listening to what I am saying. Also, you are trying to turn my argument into something demeaning towards blacks because thats all you know, when its the actually the complete opposite.

Also, you never answered any of my questions. Convenient.

If so, say so.

I don't agree with the all black dorm for the EXACT reason you are arguing. Because blacks dont need to be segregated, they need to be surrounded by successful people.

Apparently being offensive to entire groups of people is the in thing. Cool.

And the article doesn't open. All I have is the quote in the OP to go off, which never refers to them as bad apples or worthless. From the posts I saw, you were the one to use those words to describe the black students. If the article used those words, my bad.

Sorry, it seemed like the only explanation. By the way, the word retarded is as offensive as the word homo or ******... they're only offensive when you want them to be. Retarded is a real word, found in the dictionary.

The dorms are being built due to the abysmal graduation rate of blacks at UConn. The argument is if they separate them, so they're around their 'own people', they'll do better.

Its a round about way of saying 'whites make them feel inferior'.

I said, doing this will only make the smart blacks dumb, and the dumb blacks dumber. If you want to be successful in life, you don't surround yourself with unsuccessful people (the graduation rates say they aren't successful).

By pushing the black students into a corner, away from success and, God forbid, any kind of social interaction with other races, they're not doing them any favors.

In fact, they're setting them up for career suicide.

[Mike Armstrong]

By the way, I find it interesting that you view the word "racism" as an excuse and think that hard work is all you need, yet you seem to be acknowledging that putting them in a segregated dorm away from "successful" white students is institutionalized racism and oppression. So which is it? Is hard work all that matters or can racism hold somebody back?

God damnit.

The mother ****ing graduation rates say they aren't successful. I never said anything about whites. You know Asians and Hispanics attend college too?

Racism can hold people back if they are using it as a crutch, which you, and most of the black community today, are trying to do.

Let's try this...

In UConn's opinion...

Unsuccessful students
(Black Students)


Successful Students

Now, you see the issue with segregating them now? Or are you going to throw out the word racism a few more times?

[UK2K]

Of course that is an issue. That isn't even my point. And you were questioning my ability to comprehend. :facepalm

Your point was I am racist for calling the unsuccessful black students at UConn bad apples.

Cool, well then UConn is racist too, cause that's what they're saying as well.

That was not at all what my point was in that post. You are still on my previous point, which I even had a post backing off of what you were just mentioning because of me acknowledging that I don't have the article available to me to see what they said.

Let me put it this way so there's no confusion.

In my eyes, if you don't make the grades, you don't make the test scores, you don't whatever, you don't get into college, period. Your race shouldn't help you.

Once there, you take classes like everyone else. You live like everyone else. You eat in the same places as everyone else. Your race shouldn't help you.

When you graduate, you go into the work force like everyone else. You apply for jobs like everyone else, and then when you get a job, you work your ass off until you get to where you want to be in life, like everyone else.

I don't believe in excuses. There is nothing in this world that can prevent a little black kid from being the next Ben Carson. Absolutely nothing. Making excuses for people, and lowering the bar, and making exceptions for people who are perfectly capable of being successful on their own, but choose not to, is unacceptable to me.

But that's the world we live in. Like I said, the only person who controls your life is you. You and that's it.

Black man in the Marine Corps. Sergeant Major, the highest ranking enlisted man in the Marine Corps. But, actually, because he's a ****ing overachiever and on the Chiefs of Staff, he outranks every officer in the Marine Corps too. Meritoriously promoted numerous times. Degrees out the ass. How many times do you think he ever took a hand out or had to have the bar lowered for him?


Ronald L. Green is the 18th Sergeant Major of the Marine Corps succeeding Micheal Barrett on February 20, 2015. As the Sergeant Major of the Marine Corps, Green is the highest ranking noncommissioned officer in the United States Marine Corps. However, since October 1, 2011, Bryan B. Battaglia, a Marine sergeant major who serves as Senior Enlisted Advisor to the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, holds a position that outranks the senior enlisted advisors of the individual services.

A native of Jackson, Mississippi, he attended recruit training at Marine Corps Recruit Depot Parris Island, South Carolina, on 27 November 1983.[1]

He has been meritoriously promoted to the ranks of private first class, lance corporal, corporal, sergeant and staff sergeant.

Throughout his career, Sergeant Major Green has been assigned numerous duties to include: field artillery cannoneer; field artillery nuclear projectileman; tower operator; drill instructor, senior drill instructor and drill master; battery section chief and battery gunnery sergeant, Assistant Marine Officer Instructor at Southern University and A&M College; first sergeant of Inspector-Instructor Staff, B Company, 1st Battalion, 23rd Marine Regiment; and sergeant major of Headquarters Marine Corps Henderson Hall, Marine Corps Forces Europe/Marine Corps Forces Africa and 1st Marine Expeditionary Force.[2]

He has deployed to Somalia with the 13th Marine Expeditionary Unit (Special Operations Capable) during Operation Restore Hope in 1993; to South America in support of Operation United Americas (UNITAS) in 2002; and with Marine Light Attack Helicopter Squadron 169 in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom in 2006.[2]

Sergeant Major Green holds a B.A. in Cybersecurity and a M.A. in Cybersecurity Policy from the University of Maryland University College.

So what's the difference between him and your average black dude on the street right now? Absolutely nothing but their attitudes.

I've said it all along, you can work for what you have in life, or you can not and spend the rest of your days rotting at the bottom. The choice is entirely, 100%, up to you.

Or you can whine and cry racism and make excuses for why you can't do something, and then get a new dorm built for you and your homies to smoke weed in for a few semesters before you drop out.

[Mike Armstrong]

Let me put it this way so there's no confusion.

In my eyes, if you don't make the grades, you don't make the test scores, you don't whatever, you don't get into college, period. Your race shouldn't help you.

Once there, you take classes like everyone else. You live like everyone else. You eat in the same places as everyone else. Your race shouldn't help you.

When you graduate, you go into the work force like everyone else. You apply for jobs like everyone else, and then when you get a job, you work your ass off until you get to where you want to be in life, like everyone else.

I don't believe in excuses. There is nothing in this world that can prevent a little black kid from being the next Ben Carson. Absolutely nothing. Making excuses for people, and lowering the bar, and making exceptions for people who are perfectly capable of being successful on their own, but choose not to, is unacceptable to me.

But that's the world we live in. Like I said, the only person who controls your life is you. You and that's it.


That is such a privileged perspective. You are the only one who controls your life, but there are severely strong influences that can create significant challenges. As a brief example, if your parents were low income, need to take 2 low paying jobs to pay basic bills, then you aren't getting a proper upbringing. In that same situation, you are likely to live in a low income area, where expectations aren't that you go on to become some sort of doctor or engineer, and you spend much of your time around other people who are negative influences. Yes, it is possible to overcome that, but it is difficult and the motivation while you are being raised isn't there, thus you are likely to repeat the pattern.

To succeed, you need motivation, ability, and opportunity. It is easy to lose each 1 of those over time if you don't start with all 3, which is a common issue in black neighborhoods.

Now, briefly back to the UCONN thing. You seem to agree that 1 or multiple of those are likely to be reduced if the black students are segregated. That is institutionalized racism and oppression to the T. It baffles me that you can identify that as a problem, but then also claim it is an excuse if any students don't succeed.

[CelticBaller]

Heard some rumors a while back, ****ing sick considering how many black students are on campus :facepalm

Sure there are influences. That's called life, shit happens. I grew up dirt ****ing poor, eating peanut butter sandwiches for dinner. You don't have to tell me about growing up poor, I've been there. And when I got older and moved out and even AFTER I got out of the military, I was right back to being poor, except this time, I was poor, homeless, and addicted to prescription pills. That was about, oh, 4 years ago or so.

So tell me more about how hard it is to change your life. You know why I am not still poor, and homeless, and addicted to pills? Because I didn't want to live like that anymore. I don't need to repeat the story of working third shift and attending classes during the day for years. I've been there, and I did it, and I refuse to believe others can't do the same.

I could have kept making excuses and let my life drain away, but I got tired of it, and I changed it. Everyone can.



To succeed, you need motivation, ability, and opportunity. It is easy to lose each 1 of those over time if you don't start with all 3, which is a common issue in black neighborhoods.

That is institutionalized racism and oppression to the T. It baffles me that you can identify that as a problem, but then also claim it is an excuse if any students don't succeed.

All three of those things are driven internally. If you are missing one of the three, then change it. No motivation? That's your own fault. No ability? Work to get better? No opportunity? Then get off your ass and go make shit happen. Oh it's too hard? You're ****ing right it is. Life isn't easy. Nobody ever said it was. So let me ask you, how many people right now living in the ghetto would work a third shift, $9/hr job 40-50 hours a week overnight AND go to school during the day? Be honest with yourself. How many do you think will sleep in 4 and 5 hour naps every single day of the week for a year. That's what I did, every single day, I never slept longer than 4 or 5 hours, even on Sundays, because I worked that day too.

So in your opinion, what % of unemployed blacks right now in downtown St. Louis would do what I did? 20%? 10%? I bet its less than that.

I will agree that a black boy in the ghetto has a harder time being successful than a white kid in the suburbs (I was neither but that's besides the point). However, that little black boy isn't forced to stay in the ghetto.

I blame a lot of it on the parents who don't teach them values or push them to succeed, but its also the culture. The culture of **** the police and I don't want a desk job and nobody wants to work a 9-5, and drugs and trap queens and on and on and on. How many country songs you hear on the radio talking about slanging rocks and having shootouts with the cops? That's a culture thing. Black kids in school who make fun of other black kids who are good students because they're too white.

Russell Wilson's own ****ing teammates told him he was too white. His own teammates.

Now, that being said, you don't have to commit to that culture. You will find that the blacks who shun that culture end up very successful people. Honestly, smart blacks have it the hardest of anyone in this country, because blacks hate you for being like the white man, and whites see you as just a black man. That's why I have the utmost respect for Ben Carson and the SgtMaj. I posted about earlier. It takes a special someone to be like them.

But the secret is, anyone can be like them. But you have to make that commitment, and most won't.

UK2K is owning this thread. Like, completely eviscerating and educating the "muh excuses" folk.

I'm hispanic, grew up in a poor working class family etc.. and I couldn't imagine using the "but no ambition" line. I would be on the streets under that type of thinking...with no education, job, skills, zilch.

Unless you're a trust fund kid, you gotta bust your ass to make it in life. Period.

[Dresta]

So you calling black students the bad apples and worthless is actually you arguing that they are equal to white students?
Because of foolish affirmative action programs there are a lot of black students at universities in which they don't really belong, which is partly why their fail rates are so high. Consequently, the ones who are useless and don't belong, just engage in all this childish and pointless agitation we have been seeing lately, reflecting badly (in the minds of many) on all blacks.

When you purposely create such imbalances there are always unintended consequences that the all-knowing planners failed to recognise beforehand--an easy out is simply to blame it all on racism, or poverty, or some other catch-all trope.

Honestly, i'm tired of talking about race; more than anything, it's just boring, and the people who incessantly natter about it appear deficient in the imaginative faculty.

And that's the reality of it.

I haven't finished my bachelor's degree yet. Whose fault is that? Mine, because instead of taking the class loads I should have been taking, I skimmed by on easy courses the first two years.

I don't blame anyone but myself. The government had nothing to do with it, my neighbors had nothing to do with it, society had nothing to do with it. I was lazy, and that's the bottom line.

I have no problem admitting that. A lot in this country though would rather blame it on someone else so they don't have to come to grips with the fact that they took the easy road and now it's costing them. Im okay with my mistakes, and I will learn from them.

That's called self-improvement. That isn't a white person thing, it's an individual thing.

[UK2K]

'I'm too fat'

What you should say: I need to cut back on my diet, get rid of unhealthy foods, and exercise. It's only 30 minutes a day, I can always spare 30 minutes.

What people say: it's my genetics. And my apartment doesn't have a gym. And the Walking Dead is coming on.

"I can't find a job"

What you should say: I'm going to find a job I am qualified for, and while working that job, I'm going to do the best I can at whatever it is, and I can network to move up or laterally to another company. Then I can bust my ass for a promotion.

What people say: Racism and slavery and what not.

You see it every, single, day. And everyone knows exactly what I am talking about.

Imagine if adults in the black community 20 years ago said, instead of making excuses, we're going to better ourselves to spite the ones who say we'll never amount to anything. Imagine how much BETTER off the black community would be right now.

But, they didnt. And that's how we get generations of dependency.

[Mike Armstrong]

UK2k, I think it is great that you were able to pull yourself up by the bootstraps. I applaud you for doing that. It sounds like it was a real struggle and you overcame. I wish that for everybody, and the reality of the situation is, not everybody is going to have that internal motivation that you had to get yourself out of the situation. It is sad that in some cultures, being content with the idea of "good enough" is a mindset that is shared. However, to blame entire groups of people because they weren't able to have each person overcome obstacles is short sighted. I agree that everybody, given healthy body and mind, are capable of achieving success with hard work, but being capable and expecting them to just decide to be motivated internally are 2 very different things. The problem with oppression is that it reduces those abilities, motivations, and opportunities that we previously discussed. We know that people can overcome, but we can't expect it all the time. The oppression I refer to is not, "racism stops them from succeeding" but it certainly makes it easier to give up. Being an exception does not mean that suddenly it is ok to blame everybody who has struggled to the point of learned helplessness.

[chosen_one6]

I know the early 90s were turbulent with some unfortunate instances in California (Watts, OJ) but I don't recall having people make everything about race like it is now.

Maybe I was just too young but I certainly remember the racial climate of the mid-late 90s to be not as divisive as the bullshit we gotta hear about now with everything that happens.

The internet and media are completely different now than it was 20+ years ago.

Why? Why not? You haven't given me one reason why someone alive today cannot decide 'I don't want to live like this anymore'.

Again, you are telling me 'some people can't do that'. I am telling you that they can if they make the choice. The question is, how do we get them to make the choice. Figure that out, and you solved the riddle.

And that goes for everything in life. If I told you to run a mile in 6 minutes, you may not be able to do it. If I held a gun to your head and told you to run, you'd probably make it. Now, I am not saying hold a gun to people's heads, but rather find what motivates them.

I know, from personal experience, that having absolutely nothing is pretty good motivation to change your life, and your attitude. You would think coming from nothing, with an opportunity to be something, would be enough.

[Dresta]

And you know this because you've attended alot of universities in the US right? You must be really, really rich.
No, just by taking a look at the numbers and policies, and using a bit of inductive logic. That might be beyond your capabilities to understand, but it's really pretty simple.

I'm not saying they can't, I'm saying they don't. And I'm saying that depending on their upbringing and environment, they may be less likely to make that decision. You didn't make that decision yourself until you hit rock bottom and said "screw this" and suddenly became very motivated. But maybe in some alternate life you didn't quite hit rock bottom and you just became content. You always had the capability as you pointed out, but you didn't always have the motivation until that time.

One way (not the only way), that people set personal goals is by comparing their lives to those around them. If you are on the same level with those around you, you are more likely to be content. This is how subcultures of poor neighborhoods lead to being content and not bettering themselves. You clearly fell behind temporarily, and that seemed to be the motivating factor for you to better yourself. Poor black people (or other demographics) don't come from nothing in comparison to homelessness, but clearly have very little, but they are likely to be content if those around them also have very little.

Which is another great reason not to segregate blacks at UConn by building them a new dorm.

You and I agree, to be successful, you need to be around successful people. Throwing all the ones who are 'struggling to graduate' (blacks) into the same dorm on the far corner of campus isn't doing them any favors.

And trust me, I have done more than my fair share to bring people up. I believe in anyone who believes in themselves. I've bought clothes for our warehouse workers who couldn't afford their own. I've given people rides home when they missed their bus and didn't have a car. But only to the ones who I know are genuinely trying to better themselves.

That's why I laugh at the notion that I am racist. Those two examples I just spoke of, both black men, and both nice guys who got caught up in bad situations and for one reason or another, they ended up working in a warehouse for practically nothing. But, they were genuine people, who really believed in the idea that, yes while they are a forklift driver now, you can WORK your way to the top if you're willing ti put in the effort.

Those kinds of people, I can work with. The people I refuse to help are the ones who make excuses. Racism is an excuse. Is it a good excuse? Depends who you ask, but maybe. But just for one year, just 365 days, don't make ANY excuses and do the absolute best you can and see where you end up.

^^ That's what I believe in. The only person holding you back from achieving greatness is yourself.
I think this is about the most on the same page we have been.

[UK2K]

I think this is about the most on the same page we have been.

You only need two things in this world to be successful. Two things and two things only, and those things don't cost you a dime.

A strong work ethic and a positive attitude.

I would love to teach younger kids the same thing. Believe me, I was a shit head in high school. I played sports and ****ed and didn't care about anything. Its true for anybody, you can look back on your life and say 'I should have done this differently'. Well, I should have done high school differently, but I didn't. I had a 26 on my ACT before my Sophomore year in high school, and what did I do with it? Nothing, straight blew it out my ass.

But that's life, and I'm cool with that.

Two pieces of advice I'd give to anyone and everyone who isn't a millionaire.

1) Never stop getting better. As MLK said, be the best you can be. I got the job I have now with zero experience and not a clue in the world how to do it. But, I got it because they had an opening, and I said 'why not?' If you say 'why not' enough times, eventually, you'll hit the jackpot. But once I got this job, I didn't learn what they wanted and then settled in. I changed the game, I am about to save this company $180,000 annually because I thought outside the box, and came up with an idea that nobody here had thought of before. I've sent emails to other logistics/procurement managers about how their companies run their business. You will only go as high as you set your sights. I know that when I decide to leave this company, my boss, and my boss' boss, and the senior VP (who I have a great relationship with) will write a letter saying that I am the hardest working person they've met, and that's work more than any degree.

Steve Austin said it best:

https://www.facebook.com/Worldwide.WWE.Fans/videos/835627616525062/

2) Accept who you are, what you are, and where you are. Really, truly, accept it. Love it. Your past doesn't determine your future, but you can determine your future by looking at your past. Saying 'I should have done this, but I didn't, so now I must do this' is a beautiful thing. When you accept it, and really own it, your whole outlook on life will change. That's the attitude I was talking about. Accept it and move on. Change your outlook on life, change your attitude. You're dying one minute at a time.

Like many all black schools... and many black areas in cities, they will destroy it because it's not theirs. See if you can follow this pattern...

Nice dorm to live in, but blacks want their own, so they get their own, and it'll be very nice. Next, they'll start destroying it, trashing it, drawing gang signs on the walls and breaking shit. Then, when it gets so bad, they'll want the same dorm the rest of the students (who didn't destroy theirs) have. Then, they'll cry racism if they don't get it.

Rinse and repeat.

Ferguson, Missouri is a perfect example:


The ethnic composition of Ferguson has shifted, however. In 1970, 99% of the population of Ferguson was white and 1% Black. In 1980, the proportion of White residents went down to 85%, whereas the proportion of Black rose to 14%. In 1990, residents of Ferguson who were identified in the U.S. Census as white comprised 73.8% of the total, while those identified as black made up 25.1%.[27] (The remainder, 1.1%, identified with other racial categories.) In the 2000 census, 44.7% were white and 52.4% were black. The city is majority-black.[28]

40 years ago, Ferguson was white, like, completely white. 1980, blacks made up 14%. Then as more moved in and trashed the city, more whites moved out. This process repeated itself and now the city is 70% black where over 1 out of every 8 houses has a child 18 or younger with no father.

Look at any major city, its happened again and again.

FYI, thats not being racist, thats looking at historical trends.

This probably plays to what Dresta was talking about. Colleges should accept those in position to succeed, otherwise you doom them worse by giving them loans to pay but not means to pay them.

That's a whole new discussion.

Setting kids up for failure before they even leave the nest. And while it makes you feel warm and fuzzy to see a black person on campus, if they can't cut it educationally, they're super ****ed.

It's embarrassing.

Generations of young blacks who had every chance to make something of themselves, and never did. If you're black, you can get into college with lower test scores. You can get jobs you don't qualify for. You get special privileges and special dorms and special clubs and special scholarships and special everything simply for being black.

How many Oscars you think will go to blacks next year? How many do you think will deserve it?

We've gone away from basing rewards on merit and instead freely hand it out to blacks in this country, and still, STILL they remain at the bottom of the shitter in this country.

It's amazing to me. It really is.

Like I've always said, I would be ashamed and embarrassed for someone to tell me I wasn't good as someone else, but they're going to give something to me anyway because I am black. That's sad.

Now, you get your own dorm so you don't even have to see whitey. You think that will all of a sudden make blacks study harder and stop dropping out? I doubt it, but I guess money well spent.

what? wait...is this true? i thought blacks in america were complaining that they dont get a job even tough they are at least as qualified as the white who got the job?


regarding the topic: what a bullshit. do white americans have the right to build the same just for whites? NO NO NO, because it would be racisist.

damn its ONLY racist, if white do anything.

It doesnt, they just seem to be the ones who rely on it the most.


Along with the U.S. Department of Justice, the group successfully sued the city in 1974 to place a consent decree on the Department of Personnel. The consent decree mandated "50/50 hiring," stipulating that every white firefighter given a job would be matched by the employment of a black firefighter.

St. Louis FD. I will say this practice was cancelled in 2002, but theres a new one now. You must hire one black for every white. **** it if they're qualified, as long as we can check the equality box.

So you get 1000 applicants, the top 100 get hired. The top 90 are white and 91-100 are black. That means you take 1-50 whites and 91-100 and then go find 40 more blacks somewhere who aren't qualified but they're black so it's cool. I can post examples all day.

Are you black? I can't remember. I thought so but not sure.

they are considered racist like hell, tough they claim to just wanna live in peace, without harming anyone. But apparently the village is just for white people

would black people considere this as a racist community? i would, but so is this black dorm project racist

It doesnt, they just seem to be the ones who rely on it the most.



St. Louis FD. I will say this practice was cancelled in 2002, but theres a new one now. You must hire one black for every white. **** it if they're qualified, as long as we can check the equality box.

So you get 1000 applicants, the top 100 get hired. The top 90 are white and 91-100 are black. That means you take 1-50 whites and 91-100 and then go find 40 more blacks somewhere who aren't qualified but they're black so it's cool. I can post examples all day.

Are you black? I can't remember. I thought so but not sure.

Shameful. And why isn't it illegal? Didn't we make laws against this?
