The Dangers of White Supremacy Ideology in America

Click For Summary
The discussion centers on the complexities of racial dynamics, particularly the perception of white individuals towards black individuals in America. It highlights the idea that while some white people may appear friendly, this demeanor does not equate to genuine respect for the black community, especially during times of societal stress. The conversation critiques the lack of counterarguments from white individuals against white supremacist rhetoric, suggesting a troubling consensus that could resurface during economic hardships. Additionally, it argues that acknowledging historical injustices is crucial for understanding current racial inequalities, and that ignoring these distinctions may perpetuate harmful stereotypes. The dialogue underscores the importance of addressing past and present racial dynamics to foster genuine understanding and equality.

You lost already. Very simple fact that you refused to answer my question. An exceptionally important question shows that you've already given up.

Can you please point out the posts in which I got personal? I am asking you questions and I thought this was a discussion board. :smile:
I may be misinterpreting your questions, but I get the distinct feeling you're trying to lead me into a trap with your questions. If so, fine -- I've already admitted I don't really have any evidence and am only offering an opinion.

Can you start to explain it by "It can be explained neatly, I think, by exponential technological growth seeded by largely chance events that happened a very long time ago." I am all ears. Also, can you please define what you mean by chance?
How many times do I need to explain this concept to you? I've already explained it several times.

Chance means the happenstance birth of an especially gifted person who happens to enjoy education and happens to have the socioeconomic status to obtain that education and happens to choose to study some topic that could have a particularly large impact on his society and happens to stumble across a new way to do something in that topic. *huff puff, run on sentence* Chance, in this context, is not a difficult thing to understand either.

Get this. Evo still believes "Whites Only" sign didn't exist despite the fact that I provided evidence to the contrary. You have lost the credibility to show facts, you have lost the credibility of honesty.


Should Old 'Whites Only' Signs Be Displayed?[/color]

Posted March 14, 2003 -- Dallas County, Texas, commissioners decided this week to uncover "Whites only" signs above water fountains in the county records building and display them in the name of history, rather than remove them, according to the Fort Worth Star Telegram.

'Whites Only' signs win reprieve[/color]

Fading "Whites Only" signs on water fountains at the county records building will be uncovered and marked with plaques explaining their historical significance, Dallas County commissioners decided Tuesday.

Yeah, show that to be a fact everywhere in the US. Dagenais just proved you wrong. At least he can post some truth.

Check it out BV, colored never referred to asians back then.

bobf, I would suggest that you read up on this latest information first.

Here is the evidence you are asking for.

bobf, don't even bother. I already debunked that. Your energy is best spent elsewhere.

I'll have to agree with her on this one. It didn't say, "Whites Only".

It said, "No Colors". Again, the movie Remember The Titans (which was based on a true story). It was always, "no colors". Asians weren't welcomed to waltz into a restaurant where blacks were allowed, and neither were the other minorities.



Yellow isn't a color? Native Americans (reds)? Even Mexicans were discriminated against. This is pure common sense.

Take the KKK for example. Their famous slogan, "If you're not white, you're not right."



Obviously you haven't talked to Chroot before.

Here is some information on Whites only signs:

We see two water fountains. One has a “Whites Only” sign and is nice and cleanand the other one is lower and not so nice with a sign that says “Coloreds only”.

Check it out, asians were considered "whites" back then. Only African Americans were considered colored.

Does chance require all the variables, gifted, education, socioeconomic status, etc? What about those who have invented technologies and didn't have an education, weren't born into a high socioeconomic status, etc? Can we use chance to show that all races are indeed the same and have the same abilities? How does inheritability of intelligence play into the theory of chance? What about the studies one twins?

Right. Uh huh. Dagenais proved me wrong even though he specifically stated that Asians were considered colored.

I'm going to ask you one simple question, I expect you to give me a direct answer back. Do you believe a person with higher intelligence will have higher probability to have a job that will give him higher SES?

I've already answered most of your trivial questions. I asked BV to respond to a very significant study that shows everything he posts is wrong. Three times he has avoided answering. Don't try to play trivial games here to deflect the issues at hand, it will not place you in a favorable light.

This isn't a forum to play games in.

Who is playing games? I asked for evidence on all of your claims and you offered none, zilch, nothing. I think someone is playing games, and I don't think it is me...

No, you need to check out what "colored" meant when those signs were posted. You are completely wrong.

BlackVision has not accepted my challenge to refute the study of Eric Turkheimer published in the November 2003 issue of The Journal of Psychological Science.

I have allowed him three opportunities to do so.

I rest my case.

Evo said:

1. I quickly looked at that thread and it seems to be based on one study. Has the findings been repeated by others? One study hardly proves anything in science.

2. Supply evidence that the authors of the bell curve are racist and were convicted of burning crosses.

3. Provide evidence that asians were allowed to drink out of whites only fountains and enter whites only establishments.

4. Can you provide evidence that all races are equal, with the same abilites, etc?

This is one study, and in science, one study means nothing. Was the study repeated by other scientists with the same results?

What a coincidence! You dodged my question again. I will accept your defeat. How odd you do not even state what the challenge is, if the challenge is your article in "post 21 and 25" then I believe I have refuted it several times. Heck I was even able to refute it with just one sentence. That is just how flimpsy it was.

"I'm going to ask you one simple question, I expect you to give me a direct answer back. Do you believe a person with higher intelligence will have higher probability to have a job that will give him higher SES?"

We all know why you keep refusing to answer this question because the answer is yes. And a "yes" means the article you posted is flawed.

But for a more detailed response, read the "The Bell Curve" that completely points out the flaws of weighing SES without taking intelligence into consideration.

What a lie. I tackled that over and over again. I repeately asked the question about the importance and relevance of intelligence to SES. Evo ignored my request every single time. I rest my case.

Numerous other studies were conducted at the same time to prove otherwise and were abandoned. No study to date has been able to disprove this and this is currently accepted.

If you can find a study that disproves this, I will be more than willing to read it.

A study that's refuted even before it's let out. Read "The Bell Curve" and it will show you the exact flaws of the method used by this study.

Not a lie. You have never responded to this new study. Show me the posts where you have responded to THIS study. You haven't.

Why haven't you responded BV?

I'm waiting.

But, the study is invalid if it has not been repeated with the same results. This is basic science.

So, the Bell Curve is invalid. I have studies listing the discrepancies and skewed data on that study also.
