We are punished for the mistakes of our ancestors.

Does it matter than African tribes also owned slaves? That they sold them to slave traders knowing they would be slaves for gold and guns? Apparently not.

Kill all the white people? Oh yeah, genocide always solves problems... really. Idiot.

I think it's safe to say that he might be speaking on abstract level. He said that white people were killing black people through psycological, cultural, spitual, and social means--all of these I would agree with, though actual killing does occur. The real murder I see is that of the image of the black population.
I do hope that whoever my oppenent would be, would agree that black people aren't inherently inferior to any other race. Nor are they directly legally unequal to any other in the United States, at least. The problem is that people think a certain way about black people, that they are held to a lower standard even. To say and propagate the belief that blacks are less responsible for their actions that whites, that is in fact detrimental to the image of the black population. To provide an analog, one holds a higher standard for a saint, than for your everyday person. In addition to this, black people are the subject of negative social norms and institutionalized inequalities. The propagation of negative attitudes eventually becomes embedded into the mesh of society, such that it becomes normal.

I am not saying that black people are less responsible, I'm saying that I am annoyed that society as a whole thinks that it is fine for a "minority race" to get away with saying such racists things when a white person can't. It's reverse discrimination, and it is just as wrong as "normal" discrimination.

Every subrace of humanity is held to negative social norms, it doesn't mean that can be used as justification for their actions. "Oh that black guy killed someone... it's normal. And that Chinese guy just crashed into a poll, but that's normal too." Does that sound right to you? That is pretty much what you just argued.

As for the other guy... hate to break it to him but it isn't just white people. It's this thing, it's called Corporate America, and it's killing everyone that way. And you know what? People of all races work for Corporate America, including black people! *gasp* Shocking!

On top of that, I think that certain people within the black community are killing off the image of their population better than any white person ever has... or are you saying that they like the image of black people being gang-banging pimps or sluts who can't speak proper English that so many rap artists promote?

They only exist becuase society accepts them to begin with. That's why I don't think this guy from the movie is that insane, he's just opposed to a violent system that oppresses his people. Don't get me started with proper English. And I'm sick of people saying corporations are bad without validating their point, corporations are people too, you know.

Corporations care only about themselves, and their own Public Recognition. They tend to spend more money telling people that they do nice things for people, than they do doing those nice things.

Finally, corporations are bad because they're big, and I'm jealous of them, so I hate them.

...

How's that? ^^;

Horrible, verging on blatent heartlessness.
Everyone only cares about themselves, if you boil it down. No one--I say this meaning the vast majority of about 99.999-something percent--donates their excess paycheck to charity. Actual people try to inflate their achievements. Essentially, you can't say a corporation is bad as much as you can say a bacterium is bad, they both are held to their purposes. A corporation's goal is to maximize profits, and if laying off people does so, then there is nothing "wrong" about it. A corporation has its role in the economic cycle, just as consumers do. Just like there is nothing "bad" in a bacterium giving someone the flu, there is nothing bad about a corporation maximizing profits.

For further jusification of that point, so you can't jump down my throat like you love to do so much, I mean that in the sense that I cannot walk up to my neighbor and say, "I'm taking your land to build a Wal-Mart, move out within the next thirty days." However, corporations, like Wal-Mart, can and do.

Might I inquire by what means a corporation does so? And one cannot equate Wal-Mart with all corporations.

(thanks)

(hello seniors) Huh?I think you mean こんにちは、せんぱい。That would mean good day, my superiors. It would be written out as 今日は、先輩。

(thanks) It’s 有難う。Or arigatou,or ありがとう。One needs to be careful with the spelling.

(see ya)It's actually さよなら。
But all in all, great progress, although you should be careful when typing, as it automatically kanjifies everything unless you choose the alternative,so even if you get the spelling right, if you don’t know the kanji, it’s sometime a good idea just to write in hiragana and katakana to be safe.

"hey that guy is somewhat more/less brown (or 'he lives on another piece of dirt') than me...clearly he is here to steal my job and fuck my daughter!"

this is merely another example of another way (albiet one of the more dumb ways) humans alleviate the boredom of existance, make them self feel important, and generally get through the day.

some people collect decorative hats, the others become racists and spend their time prancing around in white cloaks or invading tutsi land and massacring men women and children.

one black man makes a website about killing white people

5000 black men made websites about fucking white people....somehow this gives me hope for mankind

Less rant, please? Race of course, is no arbitrary matter.
What people think forms society. People thinking blacks are inferior creates the economic hierarchy we live in today. Expectations are often the deciding factor, not actuality, as is the case for many other things.

In the U.S., being born black or Hispanic gives one a higher probablity of being born into a poor family. Being born into a poor family restricts one's options in education--one is more likely to live in an area with poor schooling, and also not be able to afford a tutor, books, attend a private school, and often one is unable to attend many colleges, with expenses going up as well as rates for loans. When one is poor and talented, there is less of a place and chance to develop that talent; on the other hand, if one is at a disadvantage, there is less of a chance that this will be sought out and corrected.

Granted that there are genii who will overcome such boundries as poverty, but albeit, these are few and far apart, so they can be justifiably ruled out of the normal case. The same is the case for the rags to riches argument, it simply does not stand constistant with what is true for the majority.

Back to the education, not that many poor black people are going to be successful rappers, and statistics state, and eyes confirm that blacks and Hispanics are poorer than white people.

It has been socially normalized that the blacks and Hispanics are a bunch of dropouts who do nothing in school and do drugs and are in gangs. The same is true for Asians studying all the time and white people--doing whatever white people do. It's very easy, and accepted to just fit into that niche that is already created. Do these social norms matter and have a lasting impact, even though they aren't always true? Most definitely.

Yeah, just don't use space bar and end with the enter key and it will stay as hiragana. To use katakana, the easy way is to type something, press F7, and the underlined part with be katakanified. About that, make sure only what you want is underlined. By using the enter key often。And press enter before doing a comma。Generally、 it’s safe to just press enter after every word.

So just type press and then press ?

Like this?

arigatou
ドモアリガトウ。

Like that?
Or, like this?:
どもありがとう

The second one is right. Arigatou is written in hiragana.

And I played enough of the game to get very, very bored with it.

EDIT: I actually kept playing after I got very, very bored, because I had nothing better to do, and I really wanted the game to be good. But then I just got more bored...

The position of people in any country has more to do with history than genetics.

and please do not dismiss what i do as ranting,...thats just how i roll, son

Source, please. I know what I'm talking about. I'm talking about black people as a whole. Nigerians, in fact, don't make too much of a dent on the actuality that the average Hispanic or black person earns a lot less than the average white or asian person. Here's my source.
And Elara, I didn't say it determined it, but that statistics would imply that depravity effects more deprivity. But look at Berkeley, only about three percent of their admitted freshmen are black. Of course, that doesn't mean that less black people get a education, but if one looked at other colleges, it would be about the same. Blacks and Hispanics get the short end of the stick when it comes to the American Dream.
And the importance of social norms cannot be understated, but I guess if one wanted, they could just think of everything as dumb and not bother with anything.

Katana: Well as it has gained some interest, I'll start thinking about it now.

Things I can tell you that will be happening is that Pokemon have migrated to all corners of the globe, we will be situated in the US, and there are three different groups you can be in (Well, one is not really a group, just everyone who isn't in one of the other two):

Team Rocket: Capture Pokemon (Both wild and owned) to either make money or for horrid experiments.
Anti-Pokemon League: These hate Pokemon and will go all lengths to exterminate every single one of them.
Everyone Else: Do not have any of the issues stated above, enjoy the idea that Pokemon are everywhere etc.

Both Team Rocket and the APL rely heavily on weapons and guns instead of their Pokemon's abilities, especially the APL as they hate Pokemon anyway.
The people who are not part of an organization can still use guns, although it is recommended that your character does not have paranoia issues and always carries two SMGs, a bazooka and five handguns in case he is attacked by something.

Your character can start off with a maximum of three Pokemon (If you are Team Rocket or everyone else) that must be of the first evolution (No starting off with Charizard or anything in that area of the evolution table) and it cannot be legendary. Anyone who starts out with the three awesome Pokemon from Ruby, Saphire and Emerald, you're going down.

that's about all I can think of for now. Oh, yes, your character and your Pokemon can die, from both guns AND Pokemon. I mean, if a beedrill hammers it's spikes through your chest, how well do you think you are going to survive?

Clockworkz: Yeah, I was thinking that myself.

What would those be?
