2006 Super Bowl Snubbing Black Businesses |
| Posted by: malcolm xx | | NFL awards millions of dollars in contracts for services during week of football event. Thousands of visitors and celebrities will be in town.
But black business owners in Detroit say the Super Bowl host committee, has yet to give Black businesses significant contracts. And NFL will not allow anyone to bring in businesses that are not approved.
local Black businesses " must stand up and protect themselves"
They are calling the Emerging Business program created by NFL to " teach new entrepreneurs how to get contracts", a charade and even worth the time. | | Reply To this Message

Your displeasure will not change anything. Racism has to be discussed constantly.

| Posted by: fuscia | | I think her point was that if you contstantly look for racisim, you will find it.
My point:
If you hyper focus, you might also see things that are not really there, and that could make you racist for thinking that racism exists where it doesn't solely for thinking that a group must be racist.  | | Reply To this Message

| Posted by: Lawless | |  Nice to know that someone actually read what I wrote and understood it. Thank you, Sherry.
When you're always looking for negative things, you will find them. It's everywhere. But, what people should do, instead of constantly b!tching about something, is to focus on THEMSELVES, and start there. Too many people refuse to do that, but are more than willing to blame Joe Schmoe.  You're choice. Not mine.

Were they on there roofs looking for racism? It has been theorized that the US government blew up the levees in a plot against blacks. If that isnt a case of finding racism where none exists then I dont know what is
this is 21st century , you can't continue with these neandatharl thoughts. [/B] |
People will continue thinking the way they do until given a rational reason to stop. ps its spelled Neanderthal

And that is called a red herring. Malcolm has no legs to stand on, so he changes the subject. 
You keep accusing groups of racism to the point that it totally messes with your thought process. All your posts are about racism. Hell, you even posted stuff about HP and racism way back. My point was that if you continue to look for racism in anything that other races do, they you are guilty of racism. If you honestly believe that the "white man" is out to get you, then you have a racist view towards white people. Some might be out to get you, but most are not.
As for Katrina, the blame lies with those who were foolish enough to stay when they were told it was a mandatory evacuation and had the means to get out. The mayor and governor are responsible for not providing transportation to those who could not leave on their own. Yes, there were fools who wanted to ride it out. There is no racist agenda in that. People of all color waited it out and got stuck.

Your right, Katrina wasn't the reason for destruction of New Orleans. Louisiana Levees is a better description than Katrina.
Thanks for correction. I admit my wrting needs work.
