I'll use sports as an example. When the NBA was all white the league had certain rules. Then along comes Wilt Chamberlain, and nobody could stop him. The 3 sec. rule followed. But that didnt stop what was happening, eventually the league became almost all Black. So along comes new rules. Zone defense used to be illegal, but in order to make the new European players competetive they allow zone defense now. The reason: Dirk Nowinski is too slow to guard the likes of Kevin Garnett. Before the rule change someone like Allen Iverson would regularly drop 50 points on the likes of Steve Nash and Jason Williams. Zone defense makes matchups irrelevant and allows players who are weak on defense to stay on the floor.

Do you think rules are adopted in general life that have this affect?

I never understood why they took away "one-on-one" play its what made earlier superstars so great-even the white ones like Bird. Who knows, nothing is ever admittd until decades later when everybody's dead-then they say "Oh, that's all in the past, the world isn't like that now!".

i might think of that even the main racist human beings might have no situation being rescued from a burning construction from whomever comes up that ladder! yet I accept as true with you-it somewhat is an occasion of affirmative action run a muck! Whoever can do the job the appropriate could desire to get the promoting.

Its funny how the WASP americans have to eat their own words many times. For example, for years they were saying that blacks were no good at long distance running, but then there comes the Kenyans and the Ethiopians and proved them wrong.

It is a known fact that the WASP's in this country have made this country run in favor of them, and not in favor or anyone else. They've made it so it is easier for them to have an easy life, while it is harder for all others to live just as well. Yet they complain about "government handouts" and affirmative action--the WASPs have lived of the backs of free labour by the blacks, the italians, the chinese for years...they got a free ride! The WASPs have had affirmative action for years, because their white skin got them into the best schools, the best jobs, and beast housing while blacks and all other were shut out because they didn't have the "right" skin color.

WASPs can't take what they dish out to others. They now complain about things while they expect blacks and all other to "get over" all the wrongs that WASPs have done to them. Double standards are what the WASPs live by.

Unfortunately, people in general play favorites and are not fair.... not always, but generally speaking this is true, no matter what color of skin, etc... Groups or cliques form based on race, money, and other factors.

America, as great as it had been for freedoms and opportunity, has some ugly past, ie. slavery based on color of skin. Even in Africa today, slavery is going on.

I would not doubt that your observation has some truth to it, although probably not an outright conspiracy.

People have the same DNA and blood as each other, but people persist in making distinctions based on pigment of skin. It has been tough to black or a woman in the past, and even today depending where you live... anyway .. About the only one you can look to is Jesus. He loves everyone even those who hate Him. There is always hope and life with Him. He is the only hope for this ghetto and those stuck in it.

Rules are made to favor the minority (the master class). And we're all manipulated into thinking that the rules are made to favor "races", genders, etc... (which they are to an extent- but only so far as to keep us ignorant to what's really going on).

And what's really sad is that most people will probably continue to buy into the bull sh*t.

Rules are a fundamental means of balance,white people believe,
that equal the challenge for the best to achieve

Blacks have had difficulty with white rules, since the dawn of creation
the most offensive white rule has been integration

Yes, in a way

As you know, America is predominantly white

So obviously majority of businesses/services/whatever here will try to accommodate white needs as much as possible since they will benefit most from it.

Perfect example in media. White = Good while other minorities are portrayed with flaws

i.e.
Blacks = criminals
Asians = nerds
Hispanics = illegals
Muslims = terrorists
etc.

Since their target demographic are whites they like and enjoy watching this. Everyone else gets kinda shafted.
