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.

    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 .

    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 ?

    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.

US hits ‘dozens’ of Iranian sites in strikes, as Iran targets US bases in region | BBC News

Published

on



The US said it has hit “dozens” of Iranian military targets in overnight attacks, in response to Iran hitting commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz.

The military said it struck “air-defense systems, coastal radar sites, missile and drone capabilities, and small boats”, using aircraft, ships, and drones – including “one-way attack sea drones for the first time”.

“The Strait of Hormuz is a vital maritime corridor for global trade,” the US military said. “Iran does not control it”.

In response, Iran said it targeted US bases in Jordan, Bahrain, and Kuwait and also radar systems in Oman.

Trump demands 20% toll on cargos passing through strait of Hormuz | BBC News

Published

on



President Donald Trump has said the US is reinstating a naval blockade of Iranian ports and will impose a 20% charge on all cargo shipped through the Strait of Hormuz following days of escalating strikes between the two countries.

He said this would stop “Iran’s ships or customers” from entering or leaving the key oil shipping route, but “all other countries will have fair and open use of the Strait”.

Iran’s foreign minister later said whoever provides safe passage “should be compensated for this service”, but Iran would remain the strait’s “GUARDIAN” – using Trump’s word.

Tehran and Washington clashed over the strait’s control after exchanging strikes in the region overnight and on Monday.

The US said it carried out strikes against military targets in Iran, targeting air defence systems, coastal radars, and missile and drone sites. Iran said it responded by striking US military bases in Kuwait, Jordan and Bahrain, and radars in Oman.

The US military said it was carrying out a new wave of strikes on targets in Iran. It said the aim of the attacks was to degrade Iran’s ability to attack shipping in the strait of Hormuz. It came ass the US Navy resumed its blockade of Iran’s ports.

Iran said that control of the strait of Hormuz was required for its national security and it will exercise sovereignty over the key shipping lane, whatever the cost.
