So you don't believe any of 1 - 6? It is all hyperbole? Maybe it is me that is inferring incorrectly. Please clarify what you think my motivations are outside of what I've stated they are. Maybe we can get back to somewhat agreeing.
As for 1-6 Just look back a few posts to see them yourself, how you broadly infer and apply negative motivation and racism denial to those who dare take interest in Sowell and the like.. Odd considering we were in agreement on several issues only a few weeks ago in this thread. My questioning of the broad statements by black conservatives were made several times. Look them up yourself, they are all there. I think the recent one was today on Candice Owens. The disagreements on Sowell and Williams were back when SA2 brought up Sowell and Williams in a reference. And in general, I've pointed out several times (including the past few days) that what they profess is often one sided and ignores or dismisses other contributions. Similar to what I see you doing often.
I question your motivation, I already stated that. On this topic you have referenced nobody but black conservatives. While you have said that you widely agree with Sowell and Williams (I'm not as familiar) but had a few reservations. But you've been a little divergent. In post 1666 you said:
" The messages from Sowell and Williams are to take ownership and look past the old excuses. IMO this is going to be a part of the solution going forward. Possibly the primary contributor."
Same post you made this comment about my views.
"These statements seem to be token. How about openly discussing the "other" contributions in detail, and then admitting they are contributions?"
Tokenism? Hmmm.
But in 1565 you said:
"I’ve come to accept (partially) the black conservative position that while there is obvious racism and racists, there is no systemic/institutional racism. It took some effort to accept some of the opinions and data as truths, and I am white, with little experience of racist treatment against me. I can't even imagine how I would feel about it as a black person or other minority."
In other posts you have left room potential systemic issues with policing but you were hardly firmly committed that it was systemic. You have also noted school funding is an issue but I'm not clear that you see unequal school funding as a example of systemic racism.
So while I agree with you that there are multiple inputs into inequality, we are not terribly close on the biggest cause or how to change things. Again, with the Sowell message of black cultural poverty, how are you going to discuss that with them? With the message of personal responsibility, how are you going to discuss it with them? I look forward to that. How does your solution work. More white people telling blacks systemic racism isn't a big problem and they need to change their culture? "Hey you poor people who have had little investment from society, do better at overcoming?" I am dying to know how you perform that without blushing from all your white priviledge. Something you also fu-fu in posts. But do tell us the plan.
Again all my questions about how broad group blame only gets applied selectively are relevant here. Questions you have avoided.
So my questions still stand. How is it black conservatives get so much love from whites? And you?
Do you think at least part of this is resistance to acknowledge systemic racism? Part of white threat, competition for resources, insistence their society is just, etc? Maybe not you but by a significant portion of the "racism isn't a thing" crowd?
How do whites become convinced in reverse discrimination? Isn't that threat?
How do they become convinced the that "anti-white" racism is as much an issue as anti-black racism?
These and a host of other questions seem to go unaddressed.
Forgive me if I have misinterpreted your exact quotes.

This was a quote from a black friend of mine today.
Morning Revelations: I cross the street, they lock their doors. I get in the elevator, they hold their purses. I walk through the lobby of the building we all live in, they stare as if I don't belong. I get on the subway and sit down, they move over as if I had the plague. I drive a luxury car only to become a target. "How much did you pay for that motorcycle?" they ask, thinking how could someone like me afford it. "what kinda work do you do?" They call me n***er and I react, and then I'm called a monkey for my reaction. The list goes on their fragility and perceived threat.
Should I be scared of my own self? Naw! You'll be seeing more of me and others. Thank you for noticing me.
It's time for a jog...
Seemed appropriate to post his feelings here. The number of times he gets pulled over by the police is astonishing.

If really believe there is no systemic racism in the USA ,just bury your head a little deeper in the sand and one day it will magically disappear.

Black football & baseball players were characterized as 'gifted athletes', while white players were seen as 'leaders'.

Just look at how the progressives treat black conservatives, where else do you think they would get a platform? People like Elder have been called a host of derogatory racial slurs by this cohort for their entire careers.

The way things are looking maybe they should put the stone masons on hold at Mt. Rushmore, doubtful a one term president gets added to the mountain. At this rate he will be lucky to ever have an aircraft carrier named after him, maybe a tug boat.

Post 2295 was a reply to Avery, somehow the quote did not get pulled with it.
So now that you've gone out of your way to look up and take stuff out of context, and then infer some sort of evil racism (hyperbole my *ss), let's look at what you've managed to find:
Originally posted by pudubny View PostI question your motivation, I already stated that. On this topic you have referenced nobody but black conservatives.

As for the "token" statements, the context was IIRC you finally admitting that racism is not the only contribution and what Williams and Sowell profess plays a minor part. A big step for you, but I found it to be a token admission.

So yeah, your leaping inferences to the negative are terrible. It is a great example of why resentment for the far left exists.

Over thinking, over analyzing separates the body from the mind.

The one I saw cited often is blacks were "talented" of "gifted" but whites were consistently described as "hard working" athletes who developed their skills.
So you’re trying to paint this as a negative when it’s really the opposite. No offence but you couldn’t be more wrong if you tried in today’s world.
Not arguing that 40-50-60 years ago they wouldn’t often say a black quarterback might be better suited to being a receiver or something. Thankfully that’s way in the past.Last edited by vermin40; Jul 1, 2020, 11:45 AM.
