It's the landlords with whom I have a problem; they redistribute vastly more income than the average ghetto dweller.

conservative whites needs to wake up in that regard.
The problem with liberals is that they ignor any statement they don't like, such as, "Fortunately THEY are NOT the majority of blacks."

Many blacks should wake up and NOT accuse anyone who says something negative about a black as being racist.

For instance if I say "i don't like Obama's position on xxxxx", I am called a racist just because I don't agree with his position.

Per the title question, here's who I have a problem with - anyone who blames someone other than themselves for their lot in life. If that someone getting blame is me, based on nothing more than my membership in some scapegoated socioeconomic category, then I have a serious problem with that person/group assigning said blame.

Now, if such a person is black, than that's the kind of black person I have a problem with. But take very detailed note that skin color in my world is incidental and meaningless outside categorization. I base my feelings towards others on their words and deeds, not their genetically dictated melanin content.

I am tickled pink by the way so many ignorant white folks choose to try to define the majority of Black folk by our lowest common denominator. The least educated, the disenfranchised, those who just don’t know any better or care any more. There are losers in all races!
I watch folks come on City-Data and waste HOURS out of their day posting about race race race. Why Blacks this why Blacks that. Blacks need to do this, Blacks need to do that. Oh woe is me the reverse racism of Blacks makes your life so unbearable.

Admit that you need this lower grouping of black folks to make YOURSELF feel better about YOURSELF. That coworker, that supervisor, that guy who guy who pulls up in a nicer car has a nicer house, the president, the attorney general, that guy who just got that promotion, those guys make you feel bad about you. Admit it you need the ghetto dwellers in all their ignorance when you want to just get it out, ya know call folks animals and thugs and every other slick epithet you can get away with in mixed company.

You want to say it to me, you really do! Son of a Veteran, Me with my clean jail records hundreds of thousands of dollars in my bank account nice car nice clothes, well spoken, well educated, well dressed kids. Land owner, home owner, property owner, landlord. It tickles me pink at the job with FOX News droning on in the back-ground you complain about government handouts affirmative action and reverse racism. Poor you. I ask again. Which Blacks do you have a problem with?

You make light of your station in life when you look so hard to find someone that you are better than. You are barely middle class by the skin of your teeth in this pro-corporate economy. It sucks for everyone.

If you could get off of the race thing you could have “EASILY”made Obama a one term president. Obama,Geitner, Holder all of em were like Harriet Tubman on the Underground railroad clearing the way for the escape of the Wall St Crooks and Banks that stole so much wealth from this country. All it took was Fox News blaming the housing market crash on the Jimmy Carter administration for forcing Freddie and Fannie to give home loans to Blacks. Just like that it was Blacks fault and the most pressing issue was Obama’s Birth Certificate. Ever heard of the term “Useful Idiots”

So You’re better than the so called ghetto Blacks, but in your own circles you’re the lower end of the spectrum, the trash, the ones always playing the victim looking for a hand out. You’re not a mover you’re not a shaker. You’re just a cog in the machine with no particular value. If you weren’t you wouldn’t be on City-Data being unproductive trying to equate well doing black folks with the worst offof their race.

I don’t absolve Black folks or any kind of folks of stupidity, wastefulness and self destruction.

Seriously this is how the system works. If there weren’t so many males in jail exactly what would they be doing in “THIS ECONOMY”? You think its hard right now getting a job!!! You kill this systematic Prison Industrial system and add a whopping percentage of able bodied (non Violent offenders) men to the work force in addition to the un-needed number of corrections officers to an already saturated labor market. What are they gonna do? Are we upgrading the power grid? Refurbishing schools redoing our ancient infrastructure , roads etc.
Too busy being jealous of the next man while transnational Corps pick "All Our Pockets Clean". Be glad you are where you are in life and that you have the time to waste on City-Data, there are folks working 2-3 jobs and still aren’t making it. Quit pointing fingers for self gratification, quit blaming everything on others and do your best to improve your own situation.
So you listen to wilkow. This was his rant yesturday.

To sort of answer your question:

I have a problem with anyone who is a what can you do for me person instead of what can i do for you. Skin color has nothing to do with it. If all you are about is a hand out i have a problem with you. If you need a hand up i will help you. But better yourself because i will not tolerate waste and expected help. Better yourself or leach on someone else.

Of course the real disabled ( mental and physical and elderly and children) cant fend for themselves and must be taken care of. The rest need to work in some compacity to contribute to society.

Honestly, I find conservative whites are more often than not more willing to look and judge the individual. I have found in my personal experience very few liberal whites who actually consider black people as individuals.
A lot of people group others who arent like them regardless of ideology.

I live in the South, most of my friends who are white are also conservatives. Facebook and twitter debates happen all the time among friends and then friends of friends. And yet people who dont know me only look at the color of my skin in my profile pick and assume I have either been to jail, dont have a job, on food stamps/welfare or dropped out of high school.

could liberals be doing the same thing, sure, but i dont encounter it at the same level as conservatives. maybe, just maybe everyone should step back and not stereotype others.

"According to the BJS non-Hispanic blacks accounted for 39.4% of the prison and jail population in 2009" while blacks are only 12% of the total population.

Race and crime in the United States - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Go fix that problem so that we can talk.
