As I said 90% or more of Americans could give a flying f about skin color You really have to stop fooling yourself. You sound ignorant AF
You live in a bubble Stoney, and you're also weak at math. The Southern Poverty Law Center estimates that there are approximately 450 white supremacist type organizations. Klan, Neo-Nazis, Skinheads, etc. Assuming the Klan would be one of the largest, the Anti-Defamation League estimated total KKK membership to be 3000 members in the US. >>>3000 TOTAL MEMBERS! https://www.jacksonville.com/story/...pportunities-us-political-trends/15715463007/ But lets say all these other groups are all as big as the Klan. Which of course they're not... but lets just say... 450 X 3000 = 1.35M racists. 10% of the US population would be about 33 Million people. >>>That's a far f'ing cry from 1.35M Numbers don't lie bud. You sound ignorant dude, you really need to get out more, out of that NYC upper-middle-class-white liberal bubble that exists to only feed itself and its misbegotten perceptions of reality. I'm surprised you haven't added "some of my best friends are black" to your delusional holier than thou soap-box. As I said, 90% of Americans don't judge people by their skin color and they're not f'ing racists. >CASE CLOSED
The first thing Van is to understand 12.1 percent of Americans are Black. So by simple math you must start your calculations at 88% of Americans. Then from there take out 50% of Republicans and look through them carefully. The guys with the torches, not so good, the overthrow the Government types, nah, no thanks what % of Trumps gang is full on Nazi... it's close to 80/20. So 80% of trumps 50% these numbers are staggering but that will lead you down the path of figuring out who feels race matters. FASHION / MUSIC / SPORTS WHERE DOES IT COME FROM-? Bob Marley/ Dr J Reggie Jackson/ LT Nelson Mandela... These were my heroes growing up> White Guys too- Joe Namath was a bit before my time and certainly being a Jet didn't gain him much favor, but he was high in my eyes. Clint Eastwood- Giorgio Moroder / David Bowie / The Smiths Then of course Rap music- being here in the city that took over from house music. I was there for the house too!But Rap culture overtakes everything. Being a DJ there was a whole nother' huge list of important Black people. I traveled the Caribbean alot in my writing days and I feel really at home there-- In my life- White people just started to become annoying. That's how I see it. They're so scared all the time. That's why they change the history books. Or try to. Thank god we stopped them.
The really important people who care about race are the hidden ones like those in banking. This is one of my pet peeves- The most important wealth building strategy you can employ for your family is to own your home outright. 45% roughly of Blacks own their home. 74% Whites. That kind of disparity bares further looking into. Banks... our friendly banks reject White mortgage applications 6.3% of the time -- Once was me!!!! Banks... our friends they reject Black mortgages 15.3% of the time. That kind of disparity bares further looking into. Often when looking at big statistics, whether it be in a Biotech study or a analysis of political theory the differences are marginal. Water quality may be so and so decimal better here than there... but these type of percents are staggering. So when we toss around the phrase some amount of Americans don't care about the color of someone's skin you have to get all the way into the banking system and count all of the participants there from the local Bank loan officer on down. Into the credit companies and further. It's statistically proven- the color of skin matters to most.- CASE CLOSED- ... Which leads me back to the original idea/ THOUGHT BUBBLE FOR THE GROUP---- WHY DO WE TAN THEN?
So Black people can't be racist? Either way it doesn't matter, your logic is flawed. Use only white people then. 71% of the population. 238 million. 10% is 23.8 M Still a long ways away from 1.3M Your 80/20 Trump voters are racist.... is stupid and pure conjecture on your part; based on absolutely nothing but your opinion. But as I said, since we are ALL American... 90% aren't. That includes everyone.
Most people in this country aren't racist IMO but as much as it's talked about in MSM & social media you'd think it was a major problem. I like Morgan Freeman's view of the issue.
Stoney, you're an idiot. A black person and a white person apply for a mortgage with the same job, the same credit history, etc. If they qualify, they both get the loan. If the statistics are skewed, it's not because the bank's are run by racist whites, it's because the applicant doesn't qualify. That has been proven ad-nauseam in studies that look back on anonymized data. By Freddie, Sallie, the FHA, the VA, and even Jamie friggin Dimon's operation --- and several like his. Quit talking out your ass with nothing but your opinion on things, and acting as if it's facts. . It makes you look more stupid than you usually do. Bend the lending standards on mortgage qualifications based on ANYTHING and look what happens. 2008. Duh. Now I'm sure you'll run to Google and find 5 articles that say otherwise, but it doesn't matter. Empirical studies have been done and the results are conclusive and inarguable. Next up: Stoney explains why math is racist.
