Inside the mind of white America – BBC News

Published

on



The concept of there being “two Americas” is almost as old as the nation itself. From the outset there were the landowners, the ruling class – the “haves”. And then there were the have-nots. That divide has been economic but also racial, with minorities claiming a disproportionately small share of the nation’s substantial wealth.
And yet, a 2013 Pew Research Center study showed that half of white Americans surveyed do not feel that African Americans are treated less fairly by the police, employers, doctors and others. Only 13% of blacks felt the same way. Amid the current backdrop of the Black Lives Matter movement and increasing wealth disparity, Clive Myrie from the BBC’s This Week’s World delves into what white Americans understand – or don’t – about race.

    This has to be a satirical piece. Maybe an extended SNL skit. What a joke.

    7 years later the media is still a divisive arm of the elite who want us to continue infighting to keep us distracted from their ever expanding power/money grab.

    Blacks in America will NEVER be satisfied with whatever is given them. What have they done on their own? We could give them the entire US Treasury and Gold reserves and within a short few years, they'd be demanding more. Guarantee it.

    I will never trust black people, after falling under a stampede in high school, civil rights for black people, you better believe I will lead white civil rights. I have come to understand you have haters in both groups, and I am not one of them. After study, I am a fan of Mr. John Lewis. Donald Trump's father would never rent to black people, mostly because they would not use their own money to repair his property. It is poverty that is the true enemy

    Black people need to leave America things won’t ever change.
    I’ve watched an episode about South Africa.
    The roles are reversed,
    white people are the blacks there, living in poverty being judged like blacks are in America.
    Let me tell you after apartheid ended white people in sa are seen worse there than blacks are seen in America.

    This is just bullschit. The US has poured $22 TRILLION down the hole of Affirmative Action, SNAP, EBT, Sec. 8, preferential educational grants, school lunches, crime, prisons, Community Block Grants, Community Reinvestment Act, FHA loans, blah, blah … And it has not made a dent.

    All its done is created an entitlement mentality, that people who have never owned slaves have to pay people who never were slaves. And ITS NEVER ENOUGH. It cripples black children in their minds.

    I know, I used to mentor black young people after I retired. They were thrilled to discover that it was completely within their power to make themselves into valuable business assets, if they adopted a few habits, and decided to be a solution to an employers problem. They didn't need any favors from whites, they could do it ON THEIR OWN.

    They had always thought that some white person had to do something for them. And the ones that followed my advice did very well, very quickly!

    Everybody deserves a chance. Not everyone will see, or take that chance. Employers are starving for solutions-oriented employees. They will invest in such employees, send them to school, invest in their future.

    Oh, and all that "redlining" he lied about…It's been illegal since 1972, and handing out Liar Loans to unqualified blacks was a primary cause of the 2008 crisis. It devastated black people who had bought, maintained, and paid off theirs loans, by talking them into cheap refis. I saw it up close. Who were the usual perps? Black loan officers. Disgusting.

    White American males are shriveled up inside and can't take China's rise. Yet they'll serve Chinese citizens living in their country like a bunch of servants. They declare war not on foreign nations but against fellow countrymen of minority ethnic groups. This is why white males will see their society collapse akin to the fall of rome (except a bunch of Germanic blooded nativist immigrants can't be compared to rome)

    Some whites have been extremely beneficial to me and I don't attack all whites. Having said this, most white Americans seem bent on using pathetic means to get something out of Asians and suppress black people. This goes beyond simple name calling, but behavior too. For example, white males are obsessed with Asian women they date Asian women all the time, that's pretty much all you see. But they'll never offer you as a minority to date their women and if you do they start hating and might try to kill you. Certain Germanic white males are just really really small inside.. Go date some black women for a change

    The problem is there are too many blacks, Latinos and South West Asians in America. Anything other than 80% white, 20% the rest will lead inevitably towards genocide and extinction.

    The blacks have a major contribution to their own lives.

    When some Indian comes from the slams or Nigerian or Asian and work hard and achieve higher than whites that’s only proves one thing .

    This is what I say to Black people who try to appeal to White people's conscience about the plight of Black people in America. Don't go running to the same people for understanding when it is they who put their boots on your necks.

    The race card hasn't been played so much , it's that you have learned how to igmore the race problems in your head . Race and racism is still a problem but it's not your problem because you can just ignore it and maybe it might just go away .
    You know , if you are not solving the problem , it's because you are the problem . l
    Black people desire the same things in life that you want , a good paying job , a nice safe home and freedom to be themselves , that is all . They don't want what 's yours , they simplly want to do these things in life for themselves .
    Tell me , is that too much to ask of Americans ?

    When my family was starving, it was the whites that showed up to feed us and clothe us in our former country. We moved to America and got robbed for the first time, by blacks repeatedly. My mother was harassed daily. Black neighborhoods are hell on earth.

    Unearned privilege? On the contrary, as a white man I never committed a crime, went to school, served in the military, worked for over 50 years. That's what I earned by that life of not being a deadbeat criminal drug addict. Hope that clears it up.

    The white neighborhoods are the safest and overall best. And these white people feel…guilty because of that? Privilege is created by intelligence, morality, and gard work. Maybe if other cultures exercised more of those virtues, their neighborhoods would be safe and wealthy too.

    Pretty funny coming from the British criticizing us about the haves and the have nots.The difference is in America anyone can be a have if you work hard enough. In Britain you were born a have or a have not due to your social class.

At least 37 dead in huge blast as arms depot hit by Russian drone in Ukraine | BBC News

Published

on



37 people have been killed after a huge explosion at an arms depot in Ukraine which was struck by a Russian drone. The ams storage facility was based near a residential areas on the outskirts of the capital, Kyiv. Hundreds of people have been evacuated from the area and a rescue operation is continuing, with fears that the death toll will rise.

Shells, mines and drones stored at the facility exploded in a massive blast that destroyed nearby homes nearby, including a care home for the elderly and disabled.

Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky strongly criticised the location of the depot near people’s homes, saying an investigation had been launched into “terrible negligence on the part of those who stored explosive right next to people”.

Russia’s Ministry of Defence said that its forces had targeted “an ammunition depot”.

Hawk Fire wildfire in Nevada expected to rage for another two days, say officials | BBC News

Published

on



US fire crews have reported progress in their efforts to tackle a large wildfire menacing the city of Reno, Nevada – saying the blaze is about a quarter contained.

The Hawk Fire, which began on Saturday, had spread over 15,000 acres by Monday, firefighters said.

Evacuation orders remain in place for 23,000 people, though other residents have now been allowed to return to their homes. Tens of thousands of other residents have been told to be ready to leave at any moment.

Officials are concerned that gusts of wind could drive the flames towards more homes. Unfavourable weather conditions are forecast for the next two days, meaning the fire could continue to burn during that timeframe.
