for example in South Africa since the Apartheid, Blacks have been given subsides in jobs so that the government gives businesses money for hiring blacks over other races to ''empower'' the race.

Do you think a policy like the above shown helps mend the broken ties to society that race endure in a previous time or only makes things worse?

Obviously, if one race is given incentives it'll annoy and cause tension with the other ones.

Clearly contributes to racism. making judgments based on race is racism, hence any system that gives preference to a specific race, makes judgments based on race, and continues to perpetuate racism through said system.

This sort of thing is creating a lot of tension in New Zealand.
One example of this is that the native people of New Zealand (Maori) are demanding to lower the age in which they can get a Retirement pension and stuff like that. However the Pakeha(White) and other Immigrants see it as an unfair advantage.

Sadly because of this there is now a rapidly expanding divide  between the Maori, and the rest of New Zealand. So I agree that it would probably end up making things worse.

by giving what are essentially handouts to one group and not another all that does is cause problems. inequality wasnt right, but inequility is still here and still strong, only now its blacks over whites. We are not equal by any stretch of the imagination

So there is no racism directed against blacks anymore?

To my knowledge it's more social then government induced, although me personally I find handouts to blacks racist to blacks as it makes them dependant and reduces the likely hood of proper assimilation into society(for example the treatment of aboriginals in Australia).

at no point did I say that. However, while I have no problem with black people, I do have a problem with niggers. If you cannot see the difference between the two groups then you are the racist. Just as there as white people and white trash. Latinos and spics, there are always negative groups to any race.

And handouts make people lazy, why should they work for minimum wage while the government gives them lots of free money and food without anything more complicated then showing up and going "Gimme!"

Fuck that

So you're saying that you can just literally hunt people like animals for decades and steal their children, then say "well, now that you're all living in poverty and drinking Listerine in the outback, we're letting you into society now", and reasonably expect them to do as well in society as well as some middle-class white kid from the rich suburbs in Melbourne?
