Black liberals still cry "racial inequality" even afer Obama's win.
"a black female college student by the name of Kari Fulton heard a white colleague proclaim that racism in America is dead after the election of Barack Obama. She cringed, worrying that it might be a sign of flagging interest in the fight against discrimination."
The next paragraph made me laugh " In reality, racism is still very much alive and well," said Fulton, who graduated last year from Howard University, a historically black college in the nation's capital."
Funny that Kari Fulton would talk about racism, yet she attended and graduated from a University that prides itself historically on race. I wonder did she attend Howard because of it being a "historically black university"? There is nothing more hilarious then black racial hypocrites crying about racism. I bet that if I asked Ms. Fulton why she didn't attend a university or college that had a "diverse student population. I bet if I asked her why she attended Howard, she would say "As a black female, I wanted to attend a black University. With that being said, Ms. Fulton went on to say that the inequalities facing blacks were the following
The problems are significant.
* About a quarter of black Americans live in poverty -- nearly three times the rate for whites -- at a time when rising budget deficits and expensive corporate bailouts are going to leave little federal money for anti-poverty programs. The federal budget deficit is likely to hit a record $1 trillion next year.
* Black adults are less likely than whites to have college degrees and more likely to be in prison.
* Blacks are less likely than whites to have health insurance and, on average, they don't live as long as whites.
* Homicide is the leading cause of death among black males ages 15 to 34 -- and it has been for years.
* A typical black household makes only 62 percent of the income of a typical white household.
This is why I have such a low tolerance of ignorant people. Sure they are amusing, but these people should not be taken seriously. Ms Fulton doesn't realize that all the problems she stated that are impacting a certain percentage of blacks don't have anything to do with other races causing those problems. Ms. Fulton like many black liberals believe that the only cure to any problem is through the government. They're are blacks that are always complaining about how more money needs to be spent on "anti poverty" problems. What exactly is an "anti poverty" program anyways? Ms. Fulton fits into the category of what is known as a "college educated idiot". People in the real world realize that the government can't lift a person out of poverty. The only function it can do is maintain a person in it. Also no other racial group is responsible for an individual of another race being born into, raised up in, and lifted out of poverty. Only the individual is responsible for his or her own economic situation. Ms. Fulton shares the views of many blacks in that she believes that it is "racially unfair", because whites as a group have more then blacks. Once again, she doesn't understand like other blacks that a group is at it's core nothing more then a group of individuals that makes individual decisions. When she talked about blacks are less likely to have health insurance then whites, once again the question is "who's fault is that"? Also that same question applies to the homicide rate, economic and illiteracy gaps between whites and blacks. Black liberals tend to want to blame whites and the government for not solving their perceived external problems. That is why nothing has changed in the black community for over forty years, because they're are blacks that don't want to address those problems as an internal individual problem that impacts the whole as a race. When blacks like Ms. Fulton don't put the blame where it truly belongs, the root causes to the problems will never be addressed and thus never fixed. No other racial group or individuals made blacks drop out of school or sell drugs to other blacks in the black community. Ms. Fulton could never comprehend this, because she along with other blacks would actually have to address the problem of "lack of personal responsibility". For her like other blacks, it's easier to make other races a scapegoat for the problem instead. The whole racial inequality farce is not different then when liberals cry about "economic inequality". It's the same flawed formula just the variables have changed. Social liberals have done their best to manipulate the middle class and the poor into hating the rich. They have used terms like "the rich get richer and the poor get poorer". Once again it comes down to "who's fault is it"? Do the wealthy in America cause people to become poor or stay poor? The answer of course is no. Most of the millionaires and billionaires started out growing up in lower and middle class households. They weren't born with "silver spoons" in their mouths. That still doesn't stop those that don't have from crying about "economic inequality", because they feel that it is unfair that others are better well off then they are. So with everything being said, it looks like the word "racism" is being morphed into the new term "racial inequality". Maybe racism as we know it in the tradition sense is on the steep decline, maybe that's why black liberals have to change the word and meaning, because they can't let go and address the real problem, which is themselves.
