"Sooner or later ya get one that remembers how bad it was in the 60`s for Blacks." Yep, you must be referring to my parents. Plus, I was born in 1970, so I just missed the 60's.
"Someone that looks at the 31% and says, used to be 100% prolly a stolen car, with a light out, sticker may not even be visible,.. or just clocked at and 31% is a heck of an improvement.
Someone that looks at 2x and says, How bout all the time or else,...... don`t turn your back on them. You can't be serious with this. Are you sure that you're not a cop? Because you're sounding just like one. I'm amazed that you can look at those numbers and basically say "Well. it used to be 100%". Those numbers are completely ridiculous for someone who only constitutes 13% of the population. This is exactly what I mean when I say that racism IS America. To you, these numbers are somehow acceptable. You're basically saying "What are they worried about? At least it's not the 60's." I guess in the 60's, you ran around saying "At least it's not the 20's".
"Now if you wanna preach the 1700`s early and before,.. that`s down right brutal shit, both ways, the bad guys and the good guys alike saw it, escaped it, did nothing about it,.. but it started with the form of slave labor once a common practice." This is just so ridiculous that I'm not gonna touch it, for obvious reasons.
"Today, the crimes are now more money orientated and the racists are all about themselves." This is only half true. Yes, the crimes are more money oriented, but make no mistake about it, racists are STILL all about racism. This just means that the racists have gotten smarter. Because of those 60's (and before) that you speak of, the average white person (even the well meaning ones) can't spot racism unless it smacks them in the face. They figure since we aren't being hit with water hoses and attacked by police dogs, shit must be OK. Why is it that if, all things being equal, you and I go to the bank to get a home loan for houses in the same neighborhood, there's a good chance that my interest rate will be higher? Do you know what redlining is?
Redlining - In the United States, redlining is the practice of denying services, either directly or through selectively raising prices, to residents of certain areas based on the racial or ethnic makeups of those areas.
If you and I commit the exact same crime, my sentence is probably going to be longer than yours. Racism is institutionalized. It is the very core of what this country is. Remember, at one point in time, America only considered me as 3/5 of a person. Let that soak in for a minute. Again, racists have just gotten smarter, racism is still racism.
"So ya,... it`s there,,.... guys aint discovering something." Look at how flippantly you said this. You're basically acknowledging the existence of racism, but saying "What's the big deal?". The big deal is that you sir, ARE America.
