im not racist, but my question makes sense.?

Question

Why is it that we are taught that all races are equal, when we know for a fact this cannot be true.

2% of the worlds whites control 80% of the worlds money.

Black ppl havent gotten an apolagy from the goverment, for slavery, but Vietnamese soldiers have.

Jews think god protects them, thats why 9 million were killed in the holocaust

Black ppl think they are equal but, they live shorter, are generally poorer and less educated, they blame this on soceity, is it true?

answer plz.

Answer 1

All people are equal,
yet not all are treated equal.

And that is the difference.

Answer 2

Yes, 2% of the world's population control 80% of the money. How you arrived at what their ethnic backgrounds are, I really don't know. I've met some very wealthy people who were not white. Most of those people (the 2%) probably are white, though.

Read your Bible. God gives us free will. He will never take free will away. If a bunch of people in a country (like Nazi Germany) want to get together and persecute a selected segment of society (like Jews), He will not interfere. His word has already been given on the subject. "For the day of vengeance is in mine heart, and the year of my redeemed is come" (Isaiah 63:4). Those who were responsible will be asked to explain themselves on Judgment Day, then a verdict and the punishment for their actions will be given out.

All people, regardless of race, have equal opportunity, at least in western democracies. Opportunity is different from ability. The law in western nations supports equal opportunity for all regardless of race. Therefore, some black athletes have chosen to become professional hockey players and play in the NHL in a white-dominated sport, just as some white athletes have chosen to play basketball in the NBA which is obviously dominated by black athletes.

As far as the slavery issue goes, the United States of America (the North) defeated the Confederated States of America (the South) in the Civil War. Since the government of the Confederated States of America supported slavery and no longer exists, there is no government from which to seek an apology. The United States of America actually enlisted black volunteers to fight against the Confederacy (see 'Glory', a great movie with Matthew Broderick, about the 54th Massachusetts Regiment, the first instance of black people participating in modern warfare). They scared the crap out of the Rebs!

Many black people, unfortunately, buy into the idea that they cannot get ahead in the world because 'it's a white man's world'. The same argument can be used by the lower classes, regardless of race; 'The rich get richer and the poor have children'. Both are excuses. If you have the intelligence, ability and drive to achieve, the opportunity is there for anyone to succeed.

The point here is that the opportunity is available if you are capable.

Answer 3

I am not a racist either.

1.Whites control most of the wealth not through intelligence but by deceiving other cultures. They use faulty contracts, drugs, colonialism and disinformation. Remember, the Native Americans did not GIVE you this country!

2. I think that is a question for you? What's so hard about giving an apology?

3. I thought it was 3-6 mil. Anyway, they still have a small tighly nit community that has control over a lot of American industries. God or oganization, you be the judge?

4. As far as Black ppl it is both. We keep falling for the cheese in the trap. But when we stop falling for the trap the cats are let in. See answer #1!

Answer 4

By "We" you mean Americans are taught that all races are equal. However, you are basing all of this on random things. African Americans live poorer and shorter lives because of how their parents lived--it's that way for every race. If a white family lives in the "Ghetto" it is because they don't have enough to afford a nice place to stay. If the mother and father cannot afford to let the kids go to college that means that the kids will have to try harder just to get by. Until that kid gets enough to go to college, he/she/it will never be able to break the cycle.

Once they get the money to go to college, they will then get a job, which will help them if they have kids. If they have kids they will then be able to put them through to college. And now the cycle was broken. It just isn't the African Americans.

African Americans, if they want/needed an apology, would have to get it from the British, Spanish, American and Italian governments. It wasn't just Americans who slave traded, it was more than just the United States.

If you think only the Jews think that God protects them, you're wrong. Every religious believer believes that God loves and protects them. Jews were killed because Adolf Hitler wanted to kill all the Jews who weren't a part of the "perfect race." Now, he was going to exterminate everyone who wasn't German, but the Americans came in and stopped him.

Black people "think" they are equal? They are equal, they aren't "generally" less educated. And "they" don't blame it on the society, everyone else blames it on the society.

Get your facts straight.

Answer 5

The constitution, laws, declarations and amendments during those centuries were written by White people for White people. The rules did not include the same hated groups as of today, Jews, Indians, Blacks or anyone of color. To say a particular group is less intelligent than another is carnal. Take a close look at history, What was once the richest country, Africa? Who taught pilgrims to survive everyday, Indians? Jews really controls the greater percentage of monies. The reasons why Blacks remains poor are because, every nationality makes money from Blacks with their products and services. Some Whites have and still charges Blacks more for services and products. Some Whites wealth is not always obtained by their knowledge, but their corruptions and greed upon the less fortunate and the powerfully wealthy. For instance, take entertainments, a high money maker, everyone knows that Blacks succeeds in songs and dance areas, sports and some acting. They do not receive salaries as they should. Its just some mere years ago, when White two parents household just started taking care of their children and homes because Blacks did it all for them. So take a look around, everything some Whites have is not by work or intellingent but by creep- by-night created devices to always conquer the less fortunate, minorities, especially Blacks. (ex.Credit Reports). Yes, there are faults in all races, but there will come a time when the meek shall inherit the earth, and I will not stare in the eyes of condemnation. My father says we are not free nor bond, male nor female, Jew nor Greek, but all in one Christ Jesus. Thanks

Answer 6

1. Not all Blacks are descended from Slaves. Many Blacks were owned by other Blacks. America was not the first, nor was it the last to own Slaves. So no, no apology.
2. Jews are protected by their God, but to suffer is their lot in life. It's God's way of making sure they stay strong.
3. And according to the Declaration of Independence, "All men are Created Equal", and we have the right to "pursue happiness". It's what you do with life that determines how equal you really are.
4. Your question makes sense in one area in a very generalized way. The fact is that we are not equal. There is something special and different about each of us. If we were truly equal, we'd be Communists. (and quite boring)

Answer 7

First off if you measure equality monetarily then white ppl win.But you might also say for that reason White ppl are damned to hell for all of eternity for the tortures, murders, hangings, and the general raping of country after country, ppl after ppl, religion after religion (I could go on but why?) in order to control that, what was it 80%.
As for blck ppl It all goes to education if you are educated then you get a better job. If you have a better job then you have a better chance at owning a home and sending your kids to college so that they to can do the same. But if you live in the ghetto (or anywhere the white ppl aren't) then your not getting an education worth a damn.Which results in poverty aka shorter lives, less education, poor health, and long list of things including incarceration, mental illness and drug abuse.

Answer 8

when ever someone starts a sentence "i am not racist but." it is followed by a racist remark. the government cant change the past so... various presidents have apologized to those whose ancestors were slaves and to the soldiers who fought in the vietnam war and erected the wall in washington. this present government was not really responsible for either... but it does not hurt to say i am sorry. the best apology is to strive to keep the past mistakes from happening again... and to make things better for all the people in the future. jews are not the only people who believe GOD protects them... and just because you believe in GOD or are religious does not mean bad things cant happen to you. whether you are black or not,.. you have no right to speak for all blacks.. you dont know what every black person thinks and whether or not blacks blame everything on society. all of us on this earth has to take responsibility for a lot of situations we find ourselves in. poor people...white ..black... brown... have trouble with good health benefits... so do middle class people. some folks take advantage of schools ..some dont... and there are many reasons..this occurs. all created equal is a blanket statement... technically if someone is born blind or crippled.. is that being created equal. ? not really.. so what we should say... is that we should all attempt to take advantage of what is out..there and do the best we can. there are certain diseases that attack more people in one race or another... and there are many reasons. i saw a black doctor on tv the other day and he stated some black men..tend to go to the doctor when they really get sick instead of having annual checkups,, so usually when a disease strikes them such as prostate cancer..it may be too late. is that societies fault ? no. however there are single men black ,white..brown who die earlier than married men. why because the married men are usually nagged by wife until he goes to the doctor. the reason i am saying this.... is that there are too many factors... in the issues you have covered ...to make a general statement and question like this. and from now on you should speak for your self and not pretend to know what a whole race thinks.

Answer 9

Exactly how does the "Government" apologize to blacks for slavery? The "Government" is not a person. Many political leaders have apologized and expressed their feelings about the past. But it is the PAST. No one today is responsible for slavery, why should we continue to apologize for the actions of people that have been dead for years?

We offer minority only scholarships for students. We have affirmative action. There are many programs that reach out to minorities. There has to come a point when people have to help themselves. Something like 70% (and I'm not certain of the number exactly) of black babies are born out of wed lock to a single mother. These children are growing up in poverty in run down areas. That's not my fault.

I don't hate blacks or any other race. I have nothing but respect for anyone that is in that situation that works hard and overcomes diversity to succeed. But people of all races need to EARN it.

As for the Jews and God, what does that have to do with race, exactly? Religion and social injustice are two different things.

And as for your statistic about 2% of the worlds whites owning 80% of the worlds money. Have you ever looked into the amount of money flows through the middle east because of oil?

Answer 10

all races are equal in the sense that 2 babies at birth with good health and the same income parents with the same education and culture have the same CHANCE for success. In reality many factors affect how your life comes out . for 2% of white ppl life is very good indeed. although I am white I am definitely NOT in the upper 2% income so does that make me less equal? no and all individuals are not equal but all individuals should have as equal of a chance as possible to succeed in life and they should be given equal treatment under the law.

Answer 11

You say that you are not a racist but your question seems to suggest otherwise. First of all I am a little suspicious of your numbers. Where did you get your information? Secondly Bill Clinton did apologize for slavery while on a trip to Africa. As for your question about Jews, how Christians consider themselves God's people but how many were killed by the Romans and how many are killed by other Christians today? You sound like you are intelligent but perhaps a little miss lead.
