Obviously. The ones that are don't really seem to have any more insight than you do.
Quote:I won't bother trying to dissuade you from delusions you believe so ardently... sure black culture has decayed in recent years (especially the last ten or so, with gangster rap), but what are these other groups that are down? American Indians? No, they're about the same as they've been for quite some time... but blame that on the rappers who invented this stuff... once it gets out there it starts to influence people, but it had to come from somewhere. And blaming it on welfare is insane. For one thing before the Civil Rights movement none of this could have happened... blacks wouldn't be allowed to do things like they are...
...what? I don't really get what angle you're trying to get at here. It seems like you're almost saying "You're wrong, I agree with you."
Clarify.
Quote:It's a great proof for why you are deluded!
History vindicates me. I've shown why, and you haven't denied it.
Quote:Cancer was just an example I came up with when I was writing... I could have used just about anything and had it make just as much sense... because by the means I can see, like cancer treatment, welfare and affirmative action and other programs for the disadvantaged are proving a lot of good...
Again, this is the priveleged college kid speaking. What the priveleged college kid thinks is that these do-gooder programs work. What the priveleged college kid can never explain is why more and more black families are broken, why more and more black kids fail school, why violence among blacks is increasing, why black culture is disintegrating, why other ethnic groups surpassed them, and how affirmative action and welfare are doing a damn thing about fixing these problems.
It's like, you don't care that the problems exist and are getting worse. The only thing you care about is that you people attempted to do something about it, even if it was the wrong thing to do. You think that gives you some imaginary moral high ground, and that everyone who disagrees is racist and intolerant.
I am intolerant. I'm intolerant of lying morons taking credit for helping people while only making their situation worse.
Quote:And those ethnic groups that got over it took a LONG time to get over it. The Chineese, Irish... they were persecuted for generations! It is insane to say that that was okay. It was absolutely and totally not okay. Just like the current hatred of hispanics is not okay. Condoning that kind of behavior is, I'd say, racist.
It did take a long time. But it happened. And after almost four decades of liberal social programs, two generations by some people's reckoning, blacks still aren't 'over it'. Their lot doesn't improve at all. No progress.
It's not that I can't see how affirmative action and welfare could succeed. They could very well have achieved the intended result. They just haven't. Miserably haven't. Another good idea in theory, bad idea in practice.
Quote:Your insane consiracy theories sound more crazy every time you repeat them, you know... and the idea that by not helping people that will suffer badly and needlessly you are helping them is one of the stupidest ideas I have ever heard.
Translation for the audience: "I still have no proof whatsoever to back up anything I say, therefore everything I say is irrelevant."
