    Maybe you don't understand the word "marginalization." African Americans live in America, not in Africa.

    Imagine dumb Black jokes on the media!? I sure can't they would fight against the discrimination but against Poles it's cool.

    Redlining as if that's a major issue for Blacks today!?

    As for police brutality it happens to Whites too.
    As the reader can clearly see, when properly challenged, Jan just becomes a parrot squawking the same old lines while avoiding answering simple questions or conceding a point regarding his error laden statements on various topics he introduces (i.e., the ACLU).

    Jan is just another 3rd rate David Duke wanna be with delusions of intelligence. A generic observation that white folks face police brutality also does not explain why black folk make up the majority of people incarcerated for drug offenses when the majority of illegal drug users are white. Or why black criminals are more likely to get the death penalty than white criminals with parallel rap sheets. Or how we've seen in the last 20 years armed white perpetrators who have killed get arrested by police without a scratch while black unarmed suspects are killed by police. Nope, in Jan's world this bit of FACT is irrelevant because Poles got a hard time in Europe and were subjected to ethnic jokes in America.

    Once I expose these nitwits for the proud, willfully ignorant bigots that they are, I just ignore them, as they just take up time and space.

    Say goodnight, Gracie.

    The higher incarceration doesn't have to be racism.
    A.) Do Blacks sell drugs more than Whites!?
    B.) Do Blacks live in crowded cities where police can catch drug users more!?
    C.) Do Blacks live in higher police presence regions due to higher crime!?
    D.) Do Blacks commit more crimes, thus might get illegal drug use added to their rap sheet!?

    I see no reason to believe the police & justice system is racist.

    We heard about Kalief Browser being unfairly jailed.
    Turns out the District Attorney was Black Robert T. Johnson.

    I never said he was the only capitol rioter.

    But, judging by names only one capitol rioter was likely Polish, although doesn't have to be because some Ukrainians, and Jews have Polish names.

    Witali Goss Jankowski the presumably Polish origins capitol one doesn't appear to have been violent.

    Change blacks to poorer people and they will stay valid. We have denied opportunities and quality schooling and jobs to blacks and the poor people for many decades.

    I don't believe that it's racist, but whites couldn't use the term White History Month without at least sounding racist.
    Unlike blacks, we don't refer to ourselves as white unless it's to specifically differentiate ourselves from blacks.
    Otherwise, we refer to our European origin to describe our ethnicity.
    That's possible because the European countries from which our previous generations came have existed for a long time.
    Many of the African nations that exist today were not existent during the horrors of slavery.
    Some African Americans, through no fault of their own, don't even know where their ancestors lived, and things like Black History Month offer a tradition with which to relate.
    Those DNA kits that are popular today have been used by many African Americans for the purpose of discovering their regional origin.
    Patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel. Samuel Johnson, 1775
    Religion....is the opiate of the people. Karl Marx, 1848

    Think, stupid, think! Did the folk in your characterization buy and listen to Richard Pryor? Or could it be that there are (gasp!) black folk who moved from urban to suburban and lived the working "middle" class life?

    My God, man! Your bigotry has warped your mind. There are black, brown, tan, yellow people on Long Island who where former city dwellers....has been that way for a LONG time, don't cha know.

    You reaffirm my original assessment of your mindset. Carry on.

    Let me ask you, you come at me, but why don't you go after the overt and proud actual racists like I do? t give them no quarter, you go snipe hunting at people who are also anti racist.


    fuck head. so you are claiming to be black? That's interesting. So I would posit that you sir are the one being racist here. there is nothing I could say to you to change your mind about me because I'm white. Anyway, middle class guy, where I grew up, a minority majority neighborhood, its what we did, I was the minority white guy and went along with it, it was fun.

    lol "tai chi" guy.


    your protected longisland bougie upbringing maybe you missed out. but it was funny shit that friends would often do. sorry, not sorry you are all triggered over it.
