That does seem to be the case for many Blacks, and IMO is why those people don't achieve anything worthwhile. Black kids fail in school because studying and getting good grades is "acting White". Yeah, that may be, but it's also necessary to get ahead (unless you plan to be a thief or parasite all your life).

Has nothing to do with skin color. It has to do with up bringing and self-motivation.

Regardless of the person's skin, I have seen Caucasians A LOT lazier than some Hispanics, Asians, African-American, etc. Spend a few years in the military, you'll retract those statements very quickly.

About the only people who were consistently lazy were Arabs in Iraq, Jordan, and Iran - especially lazier in the summer.

I was commenting about the inner city Black culture, not broadbrushing all Blacks. And I agree that all races have their slackers. I spent 20 years in USAF and am fully aware that one finds excellent achievers in all ethnic groups.

That is an excellent observation and I think you’ve drilled right down to the root of all of the insane activity that we are currently seeing/experiencing. That is the end goal, a Marxist society, whether the tools being used to achieve it realize it or not.

^^^ Yes. Marxism is evil.

100% correct

I was a Government major in college. I have read even more about it over the years.

BLM and similar orgs are following the Marxist playbook right down the line.

They will also be really confused when they realize England has a Queen.

So some hustling entrepreneur in Nigeria is implementing all of these traits to grow his version of Chick-FIL-A, only to discover employing dozens of fellow Nigerians, working 80-90 hours a week, risking financial ruin, paying taxes is in fact.....racist.

Ditto in Sri Lanka, Croatia, Beijing and Kuala Lampur.

Sound principles like these flourish and become the prevailing traits in a free market society.

Not to be a smarty pants but, the term "Caucasian" is actually a misnomer. It would be like saying some people are "Negroid", or "Mongoloid". "Caucasian" doesn't really mean "white", or have much to do with skin color, it was derived from bone structures and head shapes.

This crap has been circulating a long time. Back in the 90s federal agencies required supervisors to attend sensitivity sessions. They were told things like work products, deadlines, etc were white values and not part of the black culture.

Our takeaway was that performance evaluations had to take those differences into account.

Yeah, back then I was a manager in IBM. We all had to sit thru a bunch of that BS.

One example, we had 2 customer engineers (CEs worked on IBM gear in customer offices, labs, etc. One was black the other white and both had been hired against line management recommendation. About 2 years later, personnel management finally removed their heads from their backsides and agreed to fire the both of them. Somebody filed a complaint claiming the only reason the black guy was fired was "because he was black". Ended up in arbitration, which lasted about 3 minutes after the manager brought in a stack of paper, which turned out to be his record of the employee's performance. That ended the situation in about 1 minute flat.

All this crap going on now is just that.

Crap!

And it is only going to get worse!

I’ll speak slowly, so please stay with me here. I’m dying laughing looking at that chart mind you.

We are oppressed by white people.

White people have an advantage I don’t.

I’m upset that white people are holding me back.

Being white means these things <points to chart>

This is where I sheepishly raise my hand from the back of the class. Um, uh, excuse me, but no where on that list does it say you have to actually be white. So if you want the “advantage” you say you don’t have, shouldn’t you just do what the chart says and you won’t be oppressed anymore?

They’ve basically given a road map on how avoid poverty, jail and most things they say they’re afflicted by and don’t even see it. I’m successful BECAUSE I do most of those things. I don’t do those things because I’m white...silly race baiters. PS, even my wife is blonde...but she is not subordinate in any way shape or form...damn.

I don’t think he point of this is to suggest that whites have oppressed others by forcing their values on them. If you read the entire article it came from, the idea is that our culture has been shaped by whiteness such that most people, including non-white people, believe that the things listed on the chart are good or desirable.

The implication is that non-whites should consider whether these traits are actually good in light of their non-whiteness and feel free to reject them if they are not. One could also infer that the author believes that these traits would not be found in or accepted by non-whites but for our culture, but I’m not sure you can take it that far.

This entire idea is patently absurd. There are far more differences between individuals than there are between racial or ethnic groups considered as a whole. I suspect you could look at any culture and find those within it who value and reject those ideas. They are not carried on the skin pigmentation gene.

I love that list! Do you think the museum would mind if I copied it and passed it out to my students when I sub? It would save me time repeating myself as 85% of that list is what I tell students anyway.

It's just going to be clips from When Keeping It Real Goes Wrong. I'd visit.

They are describing culture, not race.

The authorship of this thing was assuredly a white liberal. It has white liberal all over it. White liberals are the worst sort of racists. Because they, as evidenced by this statement, do not believe any of those things listed are important to, or achievable by, black people.

The worst thing that has ever happened to a black American is a white liberal. White liberals have the lowest of opinions of blacks.

They were getting crushed online and took it down.

Sorry Chellim, Marxism promises equality. And equality is a right.

I have a right to not attend my classes, not do my homework, and get an A in the class even if I fail the final exam and don't submit my term project. (Well OK, maybe an A-). [/sarc off/]
