It's easy. And again, it's because I can go on Google and within 30 seconds find something that directly refutes your claim

The University of Chicago's Marianne Bertrand and MIT's Sendhil Mullainathan, however, appeared to find that a black-sounding name can be an impediment, in another recent NBER paper entitled "Are Emily and Greg More Employable Than Lakisha and Jamal?"[/quote]
Its easy for me too. I can go online and find something that could refute your claim too. And then we spend all day too and fro as we exchange crime statistics, affirmative actions statistics and you post thoughtful, insightful opinion pieces explaining exactly how women earn 82cents to the dollar despite what the research tells us.
I know how this works, and I have no desire to get into this crap. Its ultimately pointless

I am sorry that you feel a certain level of frustration in your life, but blaming whole groups of people isn't likely to make you feel any better.[/quote]
Who the fuck am I blaming? Lets get something straight. I am the demographic who is blamed for YOUR frustrations and inability to compete. Understand? I dont have AA programs, Employment Equity programs, charities, funds, movies being made about my struggle. Im the guy on the receiving end of that shit.
My reaction? Meh, take it then. I have been given nothing, I never had a safety net, and I dont need anything. Ill move on, you can have it. Ill do OK wherever I go. I really dont care.
I just wont take it up the ass. You dont need me? Cya! Best of luck to you all!

Also, white people didn't build society, people built society, some of them white, some of them black, some of them brown. And just imagine what some of those black and brown folks felt when they worked as hard as any white man, when they went to war and fought for their countries, only to really be treated like second class citizens. No one today, black, white, whatever, goes through anything close to what they went through.[/quote]
No, the society you live in was built by whites. Learn to deal with this and stop being intellectually dishonest. Labor is work, but its pointless work without the foundations of creativity. Every anglo nation on the planet was built by Europeans. Almost every major system, invention and convenience you enjoy was developed by whites. Its just the way it is.
Im sorry that this unfortunate truth is so uncomfortable, and I am sorry that people were exploited to make it a reality. You cant change history, it was the way of the world at the time and is still the way of the world in parts of Asia and Africa now.
I will never judge a man by the colour of his skin. I have met too many people and seen too much to know that a person can never be judged on something so superficial. I will say though that Africans may think they have suffered, but no racial demographic has ever had it easier in the history of mankind than them. Eveything has been handed over on a platter and people are bending over backwards to help them and uplift them.
No one did the Jews, Slavs or Gauls any such favours. No one helped the Arabs to this degree. The Persians and Semites. Hell, more Slavs have died at the hands of ethnic discrimination and war than any other demographic. American had slavery? The whole of Russia was enslaved! Every man, woman and child up until 30 years ago.
Fuck it, Im dealing with close minded bigots suffering from an entitlement complex.
You are a brainwashed idiot.
