Are blacks racest, or maybe asians?

[Cameroi]

being a member of a discriminated against minority, doesn't prevent a member of that minority themselves as an individual, form being racist.

it is however, individuals, not ethnicities, that are capable of being racist.

you could have a racist culture. hitler for example tried to start one.
as have others. that still doesn't make racism something that can be biologically inherited.

nor reasonably applied as a label, to all persons who's ancestors were born in a particular place.

so the question itself is somewhat illogical.

any ONE can be a racist.

tarring a whole group, one that people are born into through no choice of their own,
to demonize and target them as a group, well that is precisely the great evil that hitler
and others like him, will forever be reviled for having committed.

and no, i don't think racism is PREVALENT in ANY race. nor at all.
rather it is a tool of political manipulation, one perhaps too easily created,
but not in any sense a default condition.

I read the thread title as asking: Are blacks (A) racist, or (B) Asians?

Also, the only real racial stereotype I hold about black people is my fear that they'll accuse me of racism.

Uh, what are you doing that black people are accusing you of racism? I can't remember the last time I was accused of racism by anyone at any time.

Agreed, but honestly, if you look at some of the shit being flung at anyone who disagrees with the President, not only by blacks, but also by white, purples, greens, and oranges (being racially sensitive), people are still quick to jump to racism (yes, I do realize that this is mostly politically motivated).

Uh, maybe you're not actually listening. People aren't saying that it's racist to disagree with the President. The problem is that it just so happens to be that while people are "disagreeing" they're also accusing him of being Muslim and foreign despite him being neither of those things. They just happen to be comparing him to a monkey and other animals "in the zoo" and calling him an African. It just happens that while they are disagreing they aren't actaully talking about actual policies of his and it's just about shit they made up.

Yes, it's not all of them. It's not even most of them. But the group of them that aren't racist are so desperate to appear to be a majority that they won't even call out the people who are very clearly being racist. When people accused McCain of not being eligible for office a whole lot of liberals, including the Congress, corrected them. That's because no one wanted to be associated with such things. Where are all the Republicans decrying the treatment of Obama? Where are all the Republicans saying the personal attacks calling him a Muslim and an African and whatnot are racist and wrong?

As I pointed out in another thread, it's an awful lot of coincidence to just be ignored. There is a group of people who can stop the undercurrent of racism in their party and they choose not to do so. It's them you should be calling out, because if they'd just do that, you'd not have an issue.

[Risottia]

I perosonally believe that as humans we should all be equal, and we shouldn't mention race. But, blacks are gay as well, most would argue that it is becuase of whites enslaving blacks, but that is a very wide statment, my family(irish, german, and itailian) haden't come to america untill the late 1880's, and were not engaged in slavery, so why should I be held responsible? And also, why do whites have problems with blacks?

So, your family is in America since more than a century, but still you haven't learnt spelling?

Begone.

Oh, no argument there, but it still fails to justify the treatment being thrown at a lot of people who disagree with Obama. I was discussing some of the issues I took with the Obama administration (whole different thread, don't start on this please), when someone looked at me and accused me of being racist, despite the fact that I had never even mentioned Obama's race.

Here's a test:

Do you think that Obama is a Muslim?

Do you think that Obama is the legitimate President of the United States?

Do you think that Obama was born in the United States?

Do you think Obama won because he was black?

Followed by the idiot test:

Do you believe the healthcare plan advocates death panels?

Do you believe they cover illegal aliens?

Do you believe they are nationalizing healthcare?

Like I said, the last couple are just to find out why people might think your reasons for disagreeing with Obame might be different than you're actually giving.

[Jocabia]

They aren't hard questions. At all. If you've actually got rational reasons behind your objections to the healthcare proposal you should be able to answer those questions right off the top of your head in about a minute.

It happens a lot more than you'd think down here.
"Hey, man. Why did you ask me for that five dollars you owe me? Is it because I'm black?"

[Takaram]

Here's a test:

No, but it wouldn't matter if he was

Do you think that Obama is the legitimate President of the United States?
Yes

Yes

Do you think Obama won because he was black?
It might have been a contributing factor, but not the main reason.

Followed by the idiot test:

When I was on the force in Orlando, I got accused all the time of pulling someone over for dwb - driving while black.

The fact that they were driving in a bad neighborhood at 2am with only one working headlight and no taillights and I could not possibly have known their ethnicity prior to actually pulling them over is irrelevant.

[Bitchkitten]

I've had more than one Asian friend tell me that Asians are overall the most racist folks around.

Oh, that was me responding to Jocabia's test, not my test

[Conservative Ad Droid]

Very few people are actually racist, many people are culture-ist. They believe that the culture they live in is the best, and those who follow a different culture are doing things wrong. It just so happens that cultures tend to evolve regionally, as do different ethnic groups. Henceforth comes the origins of racism.

^Racist^

Wrong. I hate everyone.

Yes! Someone else with the same view!

Sigged.

[Ryadn]

My god, I can not understand a word of the topic opener. Do they not teach english in American schools anymore?

I was unaware that they taught anything in American schools anymore.

Don't make me go over there and learn you both some facts, misters!

[Ryadn]

The Black Panthers are racist, and I'm pretty sure only Tiger Woods and Michael Yo are both Black and Asian...

You don't live in a place with much ethnic diversity, you do?

Apologies if your post was an attempt at sarcasm, but not really apologetic, cause it failed.

A homeless man in the Tenderloin accused me of being evil because I'm white. But then later he said he liked my style, so I don't know what to believe.

Also, you know, he was kind of crazy, and I tend to think that had more to do with his accusation than being black did.

[Rhodmhire]

Here's a test:

Do you think that Obama is a Muslim?

Of course.

Do you think that Obama is the legitimate President of the United States?

Maybe in Kenya.

Do you think that Obama was born in the United States?

Pshh...

Do you think Obama won because he was black?

He's gotten everywhere in life because he's black, just like the rest of them.

Followed by the idiot test:

Do you believe the healthcare plan advocates death panels?

Obviously, the TV said so.

Do you believe they cover illegal aliens?

I'll be voting for Joe Wilson when the time comes.

Do you believe they are nationalizing healthcare?

Those socialist commies have to be up to something, so sure, why not?
