James Meeks Hello, you either have JavaScript turned off or an old version of Adobe's Flash Player. Good comment Marked as spam Reply So the N-word isn't offensive if I'm black? I can say the N-word if I'm black and it's not a problem, but if I'm white, I get guns pulled on me and a bunch of angry stares? Good comment Marked as spam Reply First off your comparison is erroneous, a person who is jewish normally can't be recognized as such on sight, and most asian stereotypes tend to be positive, seen as industrious and skilled in math and science. African Americans still deal with the legacy of slavery and that it was only a generation or two ago that they were treated as second class citizens. It doesn't help that a combination of institutional racism and the simple fact that poverty is often left to fester ensure hardship.

I don't think having a tiny dick, can't drive worth a damn is very positive for Asians either! Good comment Marked as spam Reply And Bush played dressup by putting on a flight suit and pretending to be a soldier. With what he said, I'll be honest that you can't sugarcoat some of the problems here. The system itself is loaded against minorities, both because of institutional racism and the fact that minorities are more likely to be lower class, which in turn means they will face more obstacles and have fewer resources creating overall a system that is likely to evoke a sense of futility, self loathing, and frustration. Good comment Marked as spam Reply Please tell me what is a "minority"? I live on the South Side of Chicago - very heavily Black. The overwhelming "Majority" of people on the South Side of Chicago belong to so called "minority" groups. Since I am in the "minority" am I entitled to preferential affirmative action programs for "minorities"? She got a $300,000 a year job as the Director of Diversity at the Univ. of Chicago Hospital and she doesn't even have to show up for work! Good comment Marked as spam Reply The term minority has to do with a combination of population percentage as well as economic and political power. Like it or not, we do still judge based off of color, it has been less than 200 years since we finally abolished slavery, and let's consider that the work to make it so that any non-white could fully participate in this country as an equal was even more recent. The fact of the matter is that the system itself is loaded against african americans, latinos, and other ethnic groups.

It just seems like all the people on there are the black's for some odd reason and they just love to run from the COPS too, it's a no wonder they are so good at sports, they just love to run! |
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Meeks edit Public service Meeks serves as the Executive Vice President of the National Rainbow-PUSH Coalition. He is also a member of the Board of Directors for the Chicago Fire Department, the Roseland Community Hospital, the Korean American Merchant Association, and the Olive Branch Mission. In 1998, Meeks led a movement to "dry up" Roseland Community by collecting votes to close 26 liquor stores. He has also created a mentoring program called "It Takes a Village" which provides support and assistance to pregnant youth and young mothers. Meeks believes that this is a civil rights violation of the students and has demanded that the Illinois Attorney General look into the violation. Meeks and a large group of parents also marched on city hall to meet with Mayor Daley in hopes that he could change the teacher hiring system. Meeks has come up with a proposal to solve the teacher inequalities; he says top-notch teachers should be offered a $25,000 signing bonus and $5,000 a year for five years to work in failing schools. Meeks is also concerned with issues of housing affordability. He sponsored a bill which would make permanent a 2003 Executive Order that established a task force to develop Annual Comprehensive Housing Plans to address critical housing issues. The bill focuses its attention on vulnerable groups, including those at risk of homelessness and low income people with disabilities. Another bill Meeks has sponsored addresses law enforcement and racial profiling. The bill would allow police departments to apply for grants to purchase cameras for police cars. Meeks believes that cameras in police cars protects everyone involved in a traffic stop, aruging that it provides security for both the driver and the law enforcement officer, and that it may also help reduce instances of racial profiling. Meeks is the Chairperson of the Housing and Community Affairs Committee and Vice Chairperson of the Commerce and Economic Development Committee. edit Anti-gay Contoversy A spring 2007 newsletter from the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) named Meeks one of the "10 leading black religious voices in the anti-gay movement". The newsletter cites him as both "a key member of Chicago's Gatekeepers' network, an interracial group of evangelical ministers who strive to erase the division between church and state" and "a stalwart anti-gay activist... According to a 2006 Chicago Sun Times article, his church sponsored a "Halloween fright night" which "consigned to the flames of hell two mincing young men wearing body glitter who were supposed to be homosexuals." |
