One of the speakers wrote an academic paper about how slavery in America was not as bad as the Holocaust.<br /><br />As for Irish and Italian they still have the dibs on the best jobs in plumbing and electrician area and have a monopoly on licensing companies that pourposely excludes Blacks. That is why so few Blacks work in that area outside of state or federal positions, and why none have their own companies. In spite of the immigrant discrimination, they were able to hog entire markets and get hired over black folks,so they benefited from racism even in the north.<br />There are still Irish bars that will not admit Black folks, even now in the 21st millenium.A pretty racist bunch on the whole.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23428832.post-22218615265630133902010-07-02T22:15:33.460-04:002010-07-02T22:15:33.460-04:00Hogan has air sole unit cushioning and shock abso...<b><a href="http://www.hoganscarpes.com/" rel="nofollow">Hogan</a></b> has air sole unit cushioning and shock absorption with premium leather on the upper areas. <b><a href="http://www.hoganscarpes.com/hogan-scarpe-donna.html" rel="nofollow">Hogan scarpe donna</a></b> basketball shoe is a fancy one with rich purples and gold designs. <b><a href="http://www.hoganscarpes.com/hogan-scarpe-uomo.html" rel="nofollow">Hogan scarpe uomo</a></b> features zoom technology in the heel and forefoot for ideal comfort.

I hear their mumbling and see their looks of impatience when references are made to slavery and lynching. They wish that black people would "just get over it." Yet, these are the same people that, after 9/11 happened, just couldn't understand how a group of people can hate enough to bring down the Twin Towers. They actually had the nerve to say that Americans don't commit acts of terrorism like "those Arabs." They don't understand how people in Lebanon can vote groups like Hamas into power. All I could say to them was GET REAL! Church bombings are terrorist acts. Lynchings are terrorist acts. And last time I checked, the KKK, a terrorist organization, still exists in the U.S.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23428832.post-81321639610295873862006-12-07T13:53:00.000-05:002006-12-07T13:53:00.000-05:00Posts like this illustrate why you'll always be my...Posts like this illustrate why you'll always be my favorite field-negro. <br /><br />Unfortunately, the plight and denigration of Black people (and our suffering) has gone on for centuries, as though our pain is less than others.

We honestly can't expect another race of people to accurately appreciate our experience or expect them not to marginalize our struggle when we can't do the same for ourselves.<br /><br />And I'm glad that you respect the struggles of other races while at the same time not wanting to trivialize our own. Too many people in our race want everyone to appreciate and essentially feel sorry for us because our race has been through it, but they don't want to hear about any other race's issues. It's like "Feel bad for me because I'm black and my ancestors were slaves, but I don't give a damn that half your family died in the holocaust. Feel sorry for me, I'm black!!!"<br /><br />Also, we have to be careful not to under-trivialize the situation. When we use the fact that our ancestors were slaves a the sole justification for our actions and pathos, then there is a problem. Slavery is quickly becoming people's scapegoat for not doing well in their life, and that's a crying shame. No, we're not on an even playing field yet, but trying to hold onto a scapegoat like that isn't healthy and doesn't allow for personal improvement. Using that reason as an excuse to be lazy and do bad for yourself is inexcusable.<br /><br />I also wonder sometimes about not only Dave Chappelle,but also at times, Chris Rock. Even though both can be considered comedic geniuses, I wonder if society at large can accurately tell the difference between their genius and their bottom-of-the barrel humor.Tashahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05841784678107146378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23428832.post-15532562822312876342006-12-03T20:43:00.000-05:002006-12-03T20:43:00.000-05:00I think a lot of the trivialization comes from our...I think a lot of the trivialization comes from our reaction to the wrong things. Not to bring up "Kramer" again but we got so caught up in the 'N' word that the lynching references went almost without mentioning. That's even worse than dropping the 'N' bomb if you ask me. <br /><br />Again, let's pick our targets and causes more carefully. Otherwise, we'll have Jesse riding for Kramer at the same time cops are putting holes through black folks for leaving strip clubs.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23428832.post-47668750096720445382006-12-03T20:39:00.000-05:002006-12-03T20:39:00.000-05:00Mahndisa, good point about the color of ones skin ...Mahndisa, good point about the color of ones skin masking his true identity or nationality. Whether it be Irish, Italian or Polish, a white person is still white in appearance, and therefore gets the benfit of the doubt in matters of race. <br /><br />As for Chapelle, I co-sigh with you on him as well. At times he can display some comedic genius; but I also worry about his actions trivializing some serious subjects.field negrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15411743587725023134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23428832.post-66493430580752825152006-12-03T19:58:00.000-05:002006-12-03T19:58:00.000-05:0012 03 06

Evil is evil, but in the United States, unless someone professes Judaism publically it is difficult to tell many Jews from American Whites. In that sense, they have an advantage in this country that Black folk have never had. And you are right to point out the institution of racism into law. I have read Higgenbotham's book on Early Colonial Law and I haven't seen anything discriminatory about Jews, but I did see laws banishing Blacks from early Georgia (1735) and I did see the laws post Stono Rebellion in South Carolina.<br /><br />I still think that although we are making strides, Blacks are still relatively at the bottom of the barrel in this country. We have a lot of strides to make. Trivializing our experience as a people is so destructive to our success.<br /><br /><br />I also wonder about the comedic genius of Dave Chapelle. On the one hand, I thought some of his material was necessary and was the type of 'in your face' statements that were needed to bring attention to inequities in our society. However, in time I felt that he ended up trivializing our plight and his gratuituous use of the N word almost gave license to others to toss it around...Rambling sorry;)Mahndisa S.

I have had some of my white liberal friends in the past also tell me that what Black people suffered wasn't all that bad "compared to.....". "Mi put dem inna chek quick!" I let them know that comparing oppressions is indirectly and subconsciously saying that what happened to Blacks "is" acceptable to "THEM!" That usually gets them stuttering with "That's not what I mean.... etc" and falling all over themselves trying to apologize and convince me that they don't have a racist bone in their body!
