This is a serious question. I would very much like to know why the assault on white people from the news media and retail with black people? Who decided that 13 or so percent of the population should now be thrust upon us from every direction? Music (bad I might add), television, movies, commercials and throughout the fabric of our visuals and audio. Why? Are we supposed to like them any better. Your over saturation only makes us dislike them more. More something for nothing….their credo.
Are we paying reparations after all? Someone please tell me who makes these decisions?

First, there is not a single former slave alive today. If there were they would certainly be due just compensation for their labor, but the ancestors of atrocities do not deserve compensation in any way. As a precedent for this point of view, from the last century, let us look at how the compensation of slave labor during the holocaust of World War II has been handled. The thousands of people that survived that inequity are being compensated by both the government of Germany and by the companies that gained from their forced labor, and rightfully so. But their children have no inherited right to collect for the uncompensated labor of their parents. Certainly the grandchildren and great grandchildren of American slaves never experienced the appalling life of slavery, and therefore, like the children of Jews and others enslaved in Germany 50 years ago, they have no claim for themselves.

Secondly, blacks do not have a monopoly on living in poverty in this country. According to the latest census data approximately 30 percent of blacks and whites live in poverty. Hispanics unfortunately have an even higher percentage living below the poverty line. All this current day poverty can not be attributed to a disgusting institution that was ended 150 years ago. It can however be attributed to present day governmental policy. There should be a monumental effort made by the government, at all levels, to get all Americans out of poverty, but a policy centered on only one race is just as wrong as slavery was.

Thirdly, slavery could not have existed without the complicity of black Africans who supplied most of the unfortunate humans that were sold into this dreadful condition. It was not just whites that kept this retched institution going for over 200 years. In addition, there were over 200,000 white Americans that paid the ultimate retribution during the Civil War, when they gave their lives to end slavery. The reparation debt owed to slaves was paid a long time ago when the North won the Civil War and freed them.

Maybe you live in a morew rural area, or something, but around here in Metro Detroit, I'd say African-Americans are represented fairly (if not underrepresented) in the media and retail outlets today. I have seen more rock and pop music (perceived more as "white" music) on store shelves and in the Detroit radio market than "black" music such as rap and r 'n' b (oldies generally being defined as a inter-racial musical genre). However, you do tend to note a lack of Arabs and Hispanics in the media and retail markets addressed, but that just seems to be the view from here.

I see many white people on television saying and or doing the dumbest things ever. I'll give some examples where white people are demonstrating themselves to be respect worth people: Girls Next Door, Room Riders, Sweet 16, Real World, Next, Parental Control, etc. I could go on and on! White people are not that respectable and haven't really done anything good in this world but cause problems for themselves and others!

those are information. information are in no way a hundred% precise. you will desire to question the resource. if 88% of serial killers and rapists then: a million) that is in keeping with what has been reported and human beings who've been wisely caught. 2) a definite term 3) area. you could no longer base the fact white adult males commit the main crimes in this resource as I doubt they could have spent the time to hold collectively universal worldwide information and checked them over countless situations to verify accuracy. you could discover much greater crimes between black adult males in detrimental, coming up african international places and additionally you will desire to understand, there are regrettably countless of those international places. universal my answer it to assert that I do have self assurance that is incorrect. that is with the aid of fact the aspects are susceptible and that is not any longer possible to create any precise information. How can they carry collectively information of those crimes from years in the past and crimes that have not been reported, besides as no longer taking in to account the entire worldwide scale the place I doubt white adult males or Caucasian adult males could be got here across to be over 50%. My answer is: Noone understands why and there is not any reliable information that they've accomplished so. The aspects are wrong and as a result you will no longer acquire an precise and sturdy answer.

This isn't a serious question. They're not out to get you... apparently they're out to get them. But who cares anyway because TV sucks no matter what color the people on it are.

There are many minority groups out there that will make a big fuss and even go so far as to sue simply because they think their group isn't being represented in this or that.

Excellent question. I just mentioned to the wife, the other night, "Why are there so many Blacks on T.V. anymore.? They display little talent." They are on seemingly every show and commercial. Big deal, they are here and there's no need to force anyone onto anyone else. T.V. in general has little social value, but the idea is to demonstrate talent, both White and Non-White. I read a lot more books then ever before.
