    I have not noticed that on any personal level with black people.

    Last week when I was at the grocery store, there was a black woman ahead of me in line at the register. She was paying by check, and when she was asked to present ID, she provided something with a name that was different than what was on the check. The cashier (a white, middle-aged woman) called over the front-end manager (also white), as she was instructed to do in a circumstance such as this, and when she did the manager told her that it was OK and to let her have the items. After the woman left the line, the cashier acted embarrassed, like she had done something wrong by calling the woman's identity into question, but couldn't understand why she was allowed to purchase the items after showing an ID that didn't match up with the name on the check she passed.

    Now had this been a white person, it would have been an entirely different story.

    White people are so scared and feel as though they must walk on eggshells when dealing with black people, out of fear they might be branded "racist."

    Political correctness is nothing more than a form of mass mind control and an exercise in getting people to conform, fearful of being judged for being "prejudiced."

    I'm not having a go at you Rat,but how do you reconcile you're "apparent" issue with black entitlement with your love of black hip hop?

    Intolerant of what, though? The color of any human being's skin? I am confused here.
    People are people...all of them.....some mean well...some don't.... in all colors.

    Ispent much of my childhood being beaten up by a mob of black kids, as someone who was walking me home from school one day, called them the n word.....I took the beatings for that, and one day, when I had had enough...i got on top of the mean girl leader and pounded the hell out of her...After that we all got along.
    I had no ill feelings anymore...but it could have happened with a gang of white kds, too...if this person called them some name....and I have been beaten up by whites, too.

    Because I have nothing against black people. I am friends with numerous black people and have dated a few black women over the years as well. Most of the people I associate with and work with are black. It's the system and the political correctness that it peddles which I find fault with. How can I blame black people when they're being enabled by the system and white liberal guilt? Who wouldn't take advantage of the opportunity?

    I can relate in that I have black friends and had a black girlfriend briefly,but I still don't get your point entirely.Maybe I'm being dense.I am by nature kind of "politically correct",in my ideal,although I often breakdown into the most societally unacceptable notions in my bleaker moments.

    That's partly because I question everything about so called "society".

    Well, you are from the UK, so things are probably a bit different there when it comes to the whole white/black issue. Even someone living in the US isn't going to really understand what I am talking about unless they have spent enough time around a considerable amount of black people as I have. But even in absence of that, it is clear to see the agenda just what the media is peddling alone with regard to the issue of race.

    In the UK we have had policies of "positive discrimination" for some time,for societally challenged minorities.True.I can't pretend to understand how things are in the US.We do however have major class divide in the UK,with black people comprising a lot of those at the bottom end,as it were.

    Let me make something clear.

    I think you'd be a great guy to have a beer with, be neighbors, we could probably be friends. I don't think your racist.

    It's an empathy thing-your views "being enabled by the system and white liberal guilt". You're a smart guy-but it's your view of things that you don't
    have personal thoughts/actions/interactions with.

    I am a liberal. Very liberal.

    I day-trade for a living. Stocks, options. I understand business, economies,
    follow money flows around the world. I am not someone who you would
    consider liberal.

    I have no guilt. I am not trying to make up for some injustice in the past. I have a view of how things should be. And yes there are always people who take advantage of the system. Because those people are more visible it is easier to find fault with them and 'the whole liberal system'.

    But who is doing that?

    I am not even talking about black people as much as those who enable the bad behavior of a few, which actually gives the rest a bad image in some people's eyes.

    Maybe not you, but some people do....
    I know, in my instance, I had to pay for another's bad behavior. That is sort of related, too.

    The old crack can say anything he wants. 1st amendment. However, the NBA evidently has rules against owners (and I'm sure players) that are considered "DETRIMENTAL TO THE LEAGUE." That is how and why he was ousted and fined, since he most likely agreed to the rule when he first bought the Clippers. In effect, it became an " industrial matter", the NBA being an industry and the 1st amendment is not germane in his case.

    He's been a shitty owner forever and more than likely a racist owner forever. I hope for the players that get a new owner that he will be a good one that cares about winning.
