@e4e5f4d5 saidYour defense of racism is interesting. I don't believe that "racism ....has existed since the beginning of man" (it's almost certain that almost all men were the same "race" for quite some time after the species appeared) but even if it were true, so what? An irrational, stupid belief system should not go unchallenged by rational, intelligent men.
Thinking you can end racism when it has existed since the beginning of man is futile.
Liberals and their anti racism crusade is causing more racism.
You are your own worst enemy.
Complaining about an "anti-racism crusade" is just plain weird.
@mott-the-hoople saidMost elementary and high school history textbooks teach little BUT the accomplishments of white people.
do you think text books teach about every major accomplishment of white people?
so hiden is either ignorant or lying?

We all have the option to finish highschool.
If we are too poor for college you blame your parents not another race.
If we are not smart enough to succeed you blame yourself not another race.
Black kids who I went to school with are doing WAY BETTER THAN ME.
So who do I get to blame?
Myself.
Teach "people of colour"...as you say...to take personal responsibility for themselves.
Finish highschool.
No kids until you are successful.
No drugs or waste of money.
College.
House.
Success.
You may have to work your whole life to buy that house but it is paid for and passed down to your kids.
Then your decendants have an easier time to succeed.
Don't blame whites cause your grandpappy Tyrone didn't work hard to get that first house paid for.
If you look at most successful white families their is someone way back who sacrificed his/her life to start the process.
@e4e5f4d5 saidSo racial discrimination doesn't and never has existed in the US.

Interesting theory.

@no1marauder saidI see plenty of people of colour working.

Interesting theory.
Where do you live?
I see plenty of people of colour who are successful.
Where do you live?
In fact...
Today a company is more likely to hire a person of colour because that company is scared to be called racist.
Got anymore excuses?
A trucking company started up in my city.
The news did a story on it.
A Muslim man started a trucking company that has 50 truckers and ALL are Muslim from the middle East.
You are right.
Discrimination is alive and well.
Always has been, Always will be.
Can I complain now?
@e4e5f4d5 saidBy no stretch of the imagination did Edison invent the light bulb.
Edison invented the lightbulb and Latimer improved on it.
Sir Humphrey Davy has some claim to that almost 100 years earlier.
And before Davy other scientists had demonstrated incandescence.
What Edison did was improve the design and make it commercial.
And in the same way Latimer made further improvements.
Both made significant contributions but neither invented it.

I believe you but I was just making a point.
History should be taught without mentioning the race as a symbol of importance.
If we do that and we do it equally and fair then whites would dominate.
His name was Lewis Latimer.
Not Lewis Latimer a black man.
Remove the labels and we grow.
Remove the labels and we eliminate excuses for success or failure.
Morgan Freeman and Denzel Washington say it best.
Find your own links for those two.
@e4e5f4d5 saidThe point is that neither you nor I had heard of Latimer

... because he was black.
Heard of Alexander Dumas? (3 musketeers etc.)
His grandmother was a black slave.
It wasn't until over a hundred years after his death that his
remains could be interred with other great French writers.
Just an example of a black man being pushed out of history.
Heard of Florence Nightingale but not Mary Seacole?
It goes on and on.

@wolfgang59
Blaming current whites for the wrongs of long dead whites is ridiculous.
Forcing current whites to learn history that really has no impact on modern life is also useless.
Move on man.
What has anyone done recently?
Besides vulgar rap music and complaining?
@e4e5f4d5 saidYes it is.

Who would do such a thing?
