funks 1 #1 January 25, 2005 I bet all other races that have been effected by AIDS will be happy to know that black people were the intended target of this so called man made disease. Why the hell do black people always think it is a freakin conspiracy against them???? http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/6867177/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Michele 1 #3 January 25, 2005 QuoteWhy the hell do black people always think it is a freakin conspiracy against them???? Irrespective of the black issue, it's always easier to blame someone else for things which happen than to take responsibility and stand up and fight circumstances. If someone else is to blame, then there is no responsibility which needs to be accepted, no circumstance which needs to be changed. Therefore, it's always someone else's fault.

slug 1 #5 January 26, 2005 Some People will have opinions based on their life experiences. I've heard a women claim that if breast cancer was a male disease Dr's would have found a cure for it a long time ago Some of the God squad believe Aids was Gods way of punishing gays Pass the collection basket Everyone has a opinion about something some people based on their life experiences education etc will believe it and some won't.

Treejumps 0 #11 January 26, 2005 This is my favorite *** Today, he said, African Americans are more likely to live in communities near pollution sources, such as freeways and oil refineries, and far from health care centers. "There are a lot of indicators that our lives are not valued," Akbar said So is he saying we put those people there and have some mystical power to keep them from moving? God forbid they take responsibility for their own lives and MOVE. I mean, how could anyone actually MOVE? Thats impossible. Education is the key and it is not highly valued, check that, valued hardly at all in those communities. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Newbie 0 #12 January 26, 2005 Since when did living in a nice area not depend on the income one makes?

So are you saying someone forces them to live in a hazardous area? Yes, income is a factor, however if the desire is strong enough I am quite sure they could find a less "hazardous" place to live.

Can you please tell me how someone on a low income (because they have a low paying job, not because they are on welfare), supporting a family can move to a more upscale neighbourhood where rent would probably be 3 times what they currently pay, if not more? My question is specific to people on a low income, and not one particular race. Edited to add: if you need some assitance with the answer, you could always go door knocking at Hunters Point in San Francisco and ask people why they choose to live next to a shipyard that is proven to be adversely affecting their health. I personally wouldn't advise this though. "Skydiving is a door" Happythoughts Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This thread is about why all black people think the man is out to get them. Not that there aren't plenty of good examples of the above being true, like my syphilis example for instance. To this day I think AIDS is something that might have gotten out of a lab, but not on purpose. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Snowflake, my friend - I do want to understand your thoughts and positions, but it's really hard to listen when someone is so angry. Frankly, I suspect you have some good points, but if you hand them out with a good helping of rage, then the information is lost. The syphilis example...I know whereof you speak, but do you not think that it would be educational for others who don't know? To state that you do have information, but you won't take the time to give the perspective you have because you believe that someone can't learn from it is really denigrating; you're not just speaking to the one making the comments, but to all "whi-err, right" folks. I'm willing to read/listen...are you willing to educate without the anger?

tigra 0 #23 January 26, 2005 Michele, Some people have a hard time swallowing such blatant racism. Its makes them angry and frustrated. Its amazing how "personal" attacks are not permitted on this site, but blanket and obviously bigoted statments about "groups" of people are OK. I personally find the hatred and intolerance I've seen expressed in this forum to be both offensive and frightening. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tigra 0 #25 January 26, 2005 I'm referring to statements made about "spanish" people, poor people, black people, gay people, and er white people, among other things. Pretty much anything that starts _______People and lumps those people into a stereotypical group. See, I kind of thought as a society, we had sort of evolved past that kind of crap, and that although as skydivers we are a pretty diverse group from a variety of backgrounds, most of us are pretty free thinking.
