High incarceration rates, katrina and unemployment, all point to institutionalized racism aginst blacks.?

Question

When will we eliminate institutional racism that holds black people down?

Answer 1

Katrina, no. Incarceration rates and unemployment, yes. The root causes are the effects of history, prejudice and government institutions, as well as the police and media.

Answer 2

You mean there were no non blacks incarcerated, affected by Katrina, or unemployed?

You know the Black Panthers had it right: Clean up your own house before looking for excuses.

It is poverty, institutional poverty, that is the problem.

Congratulations: We now know you are a racist, a racist against non blacks.

Answer 3

When we will eliminate racism towards anybody period? Racism doesn't just hold black people down, but it isn't always the cause, either. Where I go to school I see lazy people everyday that could rise above and do better, but they choose not to because they've been conditioned to their laziness. But that's in every culture-because I see it in whites, blacks, and Hispanic alike.

Answer 4

Hold Black People Back, what about affirmative action, the NAACP, Wayne Brady.Have you noticed that every race have some that excell and some that fall behind. QUIT blamming race.

Answer 5

high incarceration rates: bad personal choices
Katrina: nature
UN-employment: lack of motivation
not all but, a lot of UN-employed people, regardless of race expect to be given a chance to start at the top.

Answer 6

Not sure really. All I can say is that prejudice is everywhere and against everybody.....black, hispanics.
Education and progress are key for minorities to fight back against racism.
