Status: offline 		Perhaps its understandable that some white men, including some who posted after me, feel that, because of affirmative action and whatever else, they are being discriminated against.  They feel they're getting the short end of the stick.

Personally, I find that almost funny!  White men have more of everything that's worth having (like power and wealth), and less of what's not worth having (like poverty and sickness), than anybody else.  In my humble opinion, being born a white man in America (and most everywhere else!) is like hitting the lottery!

To ARCHER, I stand corrected!  Thank you for pointing out my error.  I am indeed mixing two cases.  These are the facts of the Marcus Dixon case:

http://www.cnn.com/2004/LAW/01/21/athlete.appeal.ap/index.html

Since credibility is about believability, as in truthfulness, an error doesn't affect one's credibility, so I'm not worried about that.  But I do thank you, ARCHER, for correcting my error!

However, the Marcus Dixon case just makes my point!  It's a THIRD example of a case where the criminal justice system reached an entirely twisted result when dealing with a black man or boy!

It's not about behavior, it's about RACE!

As a side note, although I'm a newbie to BDSM, and a newbie on these forums, I have already seen (it's not hard!) how race plays itself out on CM.

But, maybe that's a topic for another post...

hey, LotusSong,

i just LOVE that quotation from Harvey!!!


by the way, many of you have labels, like "deranged," "evil," "kinky" and "corrupted."  mine says "vanilla."

where did those lables come from?  is there some test or quiz that decides which lable you get?  can you change or choose your lable?

thanks for the information!

Status: offline 		I would label him FULL OF SHIT. I am white, not powerful, not wealthy, and grew up in poverty. So where is MY jackpot? EH?   I went to a school with quite a few WEALTHY black kids you jackass!  Maybe you are just another whiny baby with your hand out  wallowing in self pity.

Lets talk about teaching young black males that rap/hiphop lifestyles are glamorized in urban communites? Lets talk about getting your heads out of your asses and stop glorifying GANGSTA bullshit.  Eh?  Lets talk about getting an education is frowned upon because thats considered "acting white"  eh?  If you have  a brain  use it and stop blaming others for your own self pity. WAHHWAHHHHWAHHHHH  crybaby bullshit.  White America has taken on the attitude of "whatever" and dont fall for that "guilt complex" you try pulling daily because they are sick of it. So go read your woman chasing Jesse Jackson/ All you can eat buffet eating Al Sharpton dogma and cram it up your ass.  This blue collar working white male doesnt buy one damn lie you are selling. You are just another person on this planet. The world doesnt owe you a thing and neither do I. You either make it or break it on your own. Stop blaming black failures on THE MAN. Does it ever dawn on you that millions and millions of white people live similar lives? Poor? Uneducated? Not much of a future to look forward to? Who do they get to blame?  Where is their silver spoons and jackpots?  But in your screwed up world ALL white people eat caviar, and ribeyes every evening I bet. Sometimes we were fortunate to have a bag of dry beans or potatos to eat, you jack ass.  And a good week we got cornbread!!!   But hey! I won a lottery for my skin color right? People like you are too full of shit!!

Interesting article in Esquire a few months ago made a valid point.

When Colin Powell and Dr. Condoleeza Rice (both black) convinced AnencephalyBoy to not pick a fight with China, the black community was completely disinterested in the fact that these two well educated black people had such a profound impact on society as we know it.  Additionally, it was completely ignored that these two individuals had accomplished so much in terms of education and career.

Fairly easy to make a valid point that cultural bias against education and achievement works against certain sub-cultures.

Just me, etc.

Sinergy

p.s.  Which is not to say I particularly care about Rice or Powell, but the article made valid points.

Well, Cuckme4Life got the essence of it, although in much more emotional terms than I would have stated it.

I'm white, and no one gave me a silver spoon, and I've won no lotteries.

When I was young, there were always someone who was better looking/smarter/more advantaged/richer than me, and I was discriminated - discriminated ya hear - against!  By the girls, 'cause I didn't have a fancy new car bought by my parents .... I didn't look as good as Wesley Snipes, and I didn't play sports like Michael Jordan, or make music like Michael Jackson ...

They wouldn't make me the captain of the basketball team (hell, I didn't even make the team) ...

They wouldn't let me play in the band (it shouldn't matter that I can't hold a note, damnit!) ...

They didn't let me play the lead in the senior school play (but I did get to play the deaf and dumb villiage simpleton) ...

And, most wrong and racist of all ... the girls didn't fall all over me, trying to get me into their beds!

But ...

Over the years, I figured out how to make the best of what I did have, despite all the prejudice against me, all the discrimination in the world against the un-athletic, non-musically talented, sports challenged people of the world ...

The first thing I had to chuck was the worry about what I didn't have, and figure out how to get what I wanted despite those lacks and obstacles.

It's called growing up, and, while racism and prejudice does exist in the world, it is rarely as simple as only white against black ... and in my opinion, some of the most racist people in the US today have a different skin color than the one I was born with.

It's always about behavior.  Period.

So ... how does race "play itself out on CM"?

I was looking at your comments, and then the "In reply to" in the bottom right of your post.  That's were I was confused.
