Racial oppression, what it looks like in america is free money to go to college, or even start a business. It looks like forcing companies to hire unqualified black people to prove they aren't racist.... To be honest, I'm jealous, where is my free ride.

I think there are way too many racists, to start. And since this nation is built on racial oppression, I don't see that changing anytime soon.
You did not answer the question at all and the nation was not built on racial oppression. Racial oppression of whom?

You asked me what racial oppression is happening.
I said there are way too many racists. Racists oppress people. There are racists in positions of power to oppress lots of people. For starters.

How about a racist judge who imposes harsher sentences on blacks because his daddy raised him to think they ain't no good? That's oppression.

Is this supposed to be a gotcha moment? 
No shit there are nonracists in positions of power that oppress people based on things other than race.
Westboro Baptist comes to mind. The Taliban comes to mind.
I'm sorry you didn't realize that there are more than one reason to oppress people.

Yet you say, "there are way too many racists. Racists oppress people"
Seems like your main concern is the racial component of black "oppression", suggesting white people are the problem.

In that case drunk driving and beating your wife is ancient history.
That really qualifies as a valid argument in your mind?
Racial oppression...in America is ancient history. No one is arguing it doesn't exist elsewhere.
It's not an argument it's an analogy, to start. And yes, it's valid.
You're implying that since we came together and a majority agreed that slavery, and then a century later discrimination, should be illegal. But that doesn't mean it doesn't happen. Just like finally agreeing that the stories pastime of beating your wife should be illegal, and yet it still happens.
Still confused?
That analogy doesn't make sense. Racial oppression isn't still happening in America.

Whites are victims and blacks are oppressors. Racists on both sides, thats what happens when one side owns another for 200 years.

 The ignorance in this thread!
I've heard everything from blacks get a free ride to whites are the ones being currently oppressed.
Anyone want to take a guess on the racial makeup of the posters in this thread? I'm thinking most are white.

Obama is a good president.
Oh, I'm sorry, I thought all we were doing was making blatantly false statements with no factual proof.
But really, who needs factual proof anyways, your opinion is more authoritative, correct? I still can't get over that one.

Obviously, you're not black.
-------------------- I am in a minority on the shroomery, as I frequently defend the opposing side when they have a point about something or when my side make believes something about them. I also attack my side if I think they're wrong. People here get very confused by that and think it means I prefer the other side.

Maybe that's because you tucked tail and hid from this thread until we stopped discussing actual numbers.
Feel free to get over that one and read the thread.

By that logic, since African tribes brutally conquered and enslaved the Iberian Peninsula and large portions of Europe for over 1300 years, we still owe them a good thousand years!
