In yesterday's Washington Post, the white owned & controlled newspaper made a full feature article out of comedian Chris Rock's comments to Vulture.com that "White Americans are a lot less racist than they used to be." Please brother wake up from your dream. There is no need to defend this system. As Neely Fuller explains, "most white people hate black people. The reason that most white people hate Black people is because whites are not Black people. If you know this about white people, you need know little else. If you do not know this about white people, virtually all else that you know about them will only confuse you." Chris Rock should stop supporting white supremacy by making appearances on the racist show SNL. Its not funny. Belief and attachment to this system is its power over you. White people will have to change if we change - ask Rosa Parks.
And message to Wash Post; what the f*** are you talking about? The writer states, "If Barack Obama had been born fifty years earlier, for instance, he would literally have had zero chance of becoming president - in 1958, only 38 percent of Americans said they would vote for a black presidential candidate, according to Gallup. By 2012, that number was 96 percent." How stupid. In fact out of all white voters, Obama captured only 43% of the white vote in 2008 and 41% in 2012. [MORE] 38% in 1958 to 43%, over forty years later in 2012 = the same. White voters do not like voting for Black candidates (never vice-versa), ask Anthony Brown in Md. This is more deception; a Goal of the Media is to Make White Dominance and Control Over Everything Seem Natural. [MORE]
Like the white prosecutor and the mostly white grand jury in Ferguson showed us once again, when it comes to Whites and how they interact with Blacks they simply ignore the concepts of right and wrong. There has been no moral or ethical development from whites in their interactions with us. As stated by Dr. Bobby Wright, "Blacks have made and are still making a tragic mistake in basing the worldwide Black liberation movement on moral suasion. It is pathological for Blacks to keep attempting to use moral suasion on a people who have no morality where race is the variable." [MORE]
Nevertheless, recent incidents have vividly illustrated that if anything, bigotry and hatred among whites is increasing. And this may be a direct reaction to their increased sense of vulnerability from the fast changing demographics in the US. Quiet as it kept, the white population is vanishing, shrinking before our eyes while the Black and Brown populations are surging. [MORE] and [MORE] and [MORE]. Did you know that according to the US Census whites will be a minority in the US by 2042? [MORE] And that globally 90% or more of the world is non-white? This scares some white people to death. Among other things, Dr. Welsing believes that numerical inadequacy drives white folks to practice racism - to survive and to maintain control of non-whites. [MORE] Everywhere one finds Whites and Blacks in close proximity to each other, whether it is Ferguson or Zimbabwe, the Whites are in control. "Yet Blacks rarely question this extraordinary universal phenomenon which defies every known statistical law of probability."[MORE]
At any rate believing that racism is simply about bad attitudes, disrespect, bigotry and stereotypes misses reality entirely. It is a half truth. Racism is about vast unequal power between Whites and Blacks in a system designed to function that way. As stated by Dr. Blynd, "it is a power group dynamic, i.e., a defined group cooperatively via legacy institutions exerting structured, systematic injustice and power over another group. Racism is not individualistic, but institutional, cultural, economic, political, linguistic, self perpetuating and systematic. Racism is economic discrimination by a group against another for the purpose of subjugation and/or maintaining the imbalance of power through cooperative control and oppression." [MORE]
Racism involves the power of one race to impose its will upon another. As explained by Amos Wilson, "Whites engage in racism because they have the power to do so. And if we are to end white racism then we must end white power."
The racist suspect writer for the Wash Post [in photo] actually posts some silly ass graphs about whites being nicer to Blacks. He states "you can read these charts two ways: as a story of changing white attitudes -- "becoming nicer" -- over time, or as a marker of just how much progress remains to be made." He must have had a clown suit on when he wrote this racist bullshit. Below are some charts from the Urban Institute published in the NY Times on the vast difference of power in this racist system. 
Economic Powerlessness means Political Powerlessness. Five decades past the era of legal segregation, a chasm remains between black and white Americans – and in some important respects it’s as wide as ever. Through economic booms and busts, the unemployment rate has been persistently higher for African-Americans than for whites across the decades.
This racial unemployment gap is virtually unchanged over the last 40 years. The income and wealth gaps have actually widened. So has the gap in educational attainment between Blacks and whites.
The gap is not even narrowing in a meaningful way. Instead, the ratio of the unemployment rate among blacks versus that among whites has been amazingly consistent — between 2 and 2.5 – for the 40 years that official data go back. In 1972, the jobless rate among African-Americans was 2.04 times that among whites. In 2013, the ratio was 2.02. The graphs below and above are from a 8/13/14 NY Times article, "America’s Racial Divide, Charted." This disparity is caused by the operating system of white supremacy/racism.
How much of this is caused by differing educational levels of black workers versus white workers, given that people with advanced education have sharply lower jobless rates than those without? Only some of it is.
Even among people with similar levels of education, the black unemployment rate is higher. There was a 5.7 percent unemployment rate among African-Americans with a bachelor’s degree or higher in 2013, compared with 3.5 percent among white Americans with a bachelor’s degree or higher. Indeed, joblessness is higher among blacks in every education level tracked by the Labor Department.
Moreover, while the proportion of blacks getting a college degree has risen sharply over the last generation, the proportion of whites doing the same has risen even more.
According to census data analyzed by two Harvard economists, Claudia Goldin and Lawrence Katz, 21 percent of black 30-year-olds had a college degree in 2012, compared with 38 percent of white 30-year-olds. The 17 percentage point gap between those two numbers is considerably wider than the 10 percentage point gap in 1970.
There is better news to be seen in the types of jobs workers of different races are doing. A rising proportion of the nation’s white-collar professionals are African-American. Some 7.4 percent of managers and executives were black in 2013, up from 5.7 percent in 1990, and the ratio of professionals like lawyers and engineers who are black had risen to 9.3 from 6.7 percent.
Still, blacks are underrepresented in these jobs, and overrepresented in low-skilled jobs. That might be one reason why the rise of a black professional class has not been sufficient to reduce the overall income gap between white and black workers. That gap, if anything, is widening. In 1983, the median weekly pay of white workers was 18.4 percent higher than that of black workers. Three decades later, the premium had risen to 21.6 percent.
The differences in levels of wealth are even more striking. For two people with similar incomes, the level of wealth they accumulate can vary widely, depending on whether they received an inheritance or other help from parents; whether they had to take on student debts or other loans, and how aggressively they save and invest, among other factors.
And this gap has widened during the last recession and the slow recovery since then, according to an analysis of Federal Reserve data by the Urban Institute. The researchers found that white families were 4.3 times as wealthy as black and Hispanic families in 2007. By 2010, the multiple had widened to 6.1. [MORE]
