Really? What does he have?

I actually never knew that.


Crap, I had him mixed up with someone else. Never mind. Anyway, I don't know why he's being called racist.

Of course Black People can be racist! If you are human, you are capable of judging or discriminating against others due to Race. Being racist doesn't make you A Racist. At risk of sounding like Avenue Q, we're all a bit Racist. I have let the N-Bomb slip, doesn't mean I wave a Swastika, burn Crosses, or chant "Heil Hitler!"

I have to agree with Sun Wukong's point about ethnic groups whose response to outsiders is to shoot them on sight. African-American culture does have a really unhealthy fixation on race, but it's not the only culture that is like that. It's open to discussion why African-American culture is like that in the first place and what, if anything, should be done about it.

African-American culture is like that because it was a point of unity in the face of discrimination.


That is part of it, but I think there are other factors as well. Part of it is just human beings' natural preference for people like themselves, the same reason why racist attitudes exist in any culture. There is also a lack of effort by the education system to address the issue. In some ways, the education system is still geared toward white students, so the efforts to combat racism are mostly about teaching white students to respect blacks without giving adequate time to other sides of the race issue.

I have a metal swastika sitting on my desk and I chant "Heil Hitler!" now and then, but I wouldn't drop the N-bomb. That's rude.

Actually, I believe that the issue that we've been dealing with is the matter of two differing definitions being used.

I think he's equating "a racist" with "an evil monster Hitler Nazi." Just to be clear, you don't have to be "an evil monster Hitler Nazi" to be a racist. You don't need to actually HATE a minority group to be racist either.

Oh, you're a cute little smart mouth. Lets address this A-K:

A: I never implied one race is more racist. I states that both races, and all races of all kinds, can share in racist behavior. Racism is not bound to one race or the other.

B: Do you want me to Google a list of articles from web sources to blog posts to even news stories? Well too bad because I wont nor do I need to. The logic behind me providing "sources" for my brief explanation into my daily life is unsound. My entire post was stated early on (and if you didn't get it by the end, you are dense) that these were personal references into my life; a life that was spent in largely minority neighborhoods, poor neighborhoods, rich neighborhoods, and largely white neighborhoods. I am not saying I grew up in the most ghetto places in the country nor the worst either. Once again though; I will not dig deep into my life to provide you with "sources". Unless you want me to write a 400 page book on a days I have had, which include sights, thoughts, interactions, dreams, and various other crap. Which I hardly doubt you would even bother to believe. But let me states this as well: I couldn't give slightest crap if you believe me on what I write; it's your choice to believe whatever I say and if you accept my views -- and testimonies of experiences that I have been part of. To pretty much end this part: I wont Google you a list of crap sources; I wont dig deep into my personal life, typing it away on the internet for all to see; and I could care less if you want to accept my views, believe what I say, or if you believe me on my views -- its your choice to believe them or if you want to continue calling me ignorant or "unconsciously racist".

C: If you have never met an ignorant black man who has acted in hate towards whites because of slavery and civil rights issues then you either don't get out much or you're lucky. I have met plenty who made jokes lightheartedly about the issues and some who were seriously racist because of the bad history between blacks and whites in this country (USA). Like I said above; if you don't believe me I couldn't care less -- but I have met these people and have seen them, if you haven't then good fortune has been with you. As I stated above as well; this is not only limited to blacks v. whites -- I have witnessed other races who have the same view on another race based on history.

D: Like I said before: My post is about my personal experiences. If you believe it or not, that is up to you. I know what I say is the truth but if you wanna believe it isn't, go right ahead being a negative nancy. The whole point of these threads is to state your opinion and experiences; im not gonna post you news stories; im not going to post homemade films to prove my experiences and behaviors. Tough luck if you think I have to go to such extensive work to prove what I've seen and experiences; I don't have to nor will I.

E: Either you have never met these types of people, or you've never participated in activities with other races. I can remember at least three instances offhand that I have said something, or done something, that have caused some sort of racist thought (hey look! Another one since you called me racist). I've seen plenty more instances of this because I actually try not to be offensive to other people by avoiding hurting their feelings or offending them. I'll refer you to above for the rest, since im far to lazy to repeat myself on providing you video evidence of my life.

F: Once again you are editing that quote down so that you can make me look bad. Here, let me show you (since your English teachers failed their jobs) how to quote people. "With all of this being said, I have black friends who are so race neutral that they have encouraged me to use the N word, explain the use of it and admit it being not racist anymore (using it correctly anyways -- you know what I mean), and who is pretty friendly to racial jokes/instances of race." Granted, I am human and can make grammatical mistakes; especially in posts like the one we're quoting from where I did not double check my writing. But the fact you refuse to use the whole quote or grammar devices to show you are picking and choosing shows your true nature. To address the actual quote now: I have friends of many races -- blacks being one of them. So what of it? Go ahead and drink another shot if you'd like but I am by no mean using the excuse that "I have black friends, so I can't be racist"; I have never used it and it is no excuse to prove in not having ever committed any racist actions or behaviors -- which im all are we have done at some point by mistake, myself included.

G: Refer to F about how you are breaking up sentences wrongly in quotes. Funny enough that this is from the same sentence which you could have saved yourself space by posting in one quote. Anyways. I could have come off saying this better, which I admit I did not. I did not fully explain this but I don't use the N word regularly now. When all my friends were black at one time as a kid, and when (I explained this already in that quote, but they egged me on to saying "Nigga" because they were both cool with it and they wanted me to use it) I was used to talking in the same format as them, I did use the word at times. I do not however use it anymore since moving from a different town and some finding it offensive. Go ahead and call it racist but every single black person I know uses that word and have stated to me on plenty of occasions that it is not racist and to them means: "Ignorant motha-f****a" as one black friend explained.

H: Refer to G for most of this. Which im pretty sure you're out of touch with the happenings with the term "Nigga" since you don't seem to see/hear it ever used. Go right ahead and call me racist on this one if you'd like; I know some mite be offended by it but I know and do not use it as offensive speech -- on here or in RL. I am simply stating realist experiences that have showed me that term, not the full N word, is not considered offensive to many blacks these days. Do I think that represents the entire black race? No. Never did and I don't think it should represent the entire race for the majority to think one way on it. Some will find it offensive and others wont; simply as that.

I: I have friends on all racial boundaries that enjoy racial jokes. When the joke is made lightheartedly and for the purpose of being funny. I to be honest hear few white ones but the ones I do know are hilarious. The point is here that we all enjoy a joke, racial or not, that is funny and meant to simply be a joke.

J: If I am wrong about racism being down in America then prove me wrong (hypocritical of me I know but I have a point here I swear). What US law protects and promotes racism? What popular news sources promote racist stories? What shows promote racism as policy? Even if you provide "sources", the fact is that a far majority of people in the country are not racist anymore or hold views that are racist; racism being that of actual hate of serious intentions. If you want to make a source now and here, make a poll stating yes or no if people are racist. The fact is that today, thanks to education and cultural changes, racism has died down and changed in many cases.

K: So. What is wrong with me hoping that racism is exterminated as a viewpoint? I cannot fathom a reason why that makes me racist or that it is defensive for me to wish for racism to be gone.

On the bottom note of this post. I would like to protest your calling me a racist, which is untrue and uncalled for, and that I do not owe you squat. If you want to take shots at stuff on the internet, go right ahead and make an excuse to be an alcoholic.

A.
But the most racists I have ever met have been blacks who hated whites.
must have been posted by someone else, then. I do apologize.

B. So you're essentially admitting that you're pulling your reasons for black-on-white bigotry out of your ass. Good to know!

C. I've met them. Met one somewhat recently, in fact. However, I didn't make any assumptions regarding why he felt the way that he did.

D. Actually, the point of these threads is to engage in an intelligent conversation, hopefully adding something new to to mix of information. Posts that would be better suited for a blog don't advance the argument much. At the very least, an acknowledgment that personal experience does not equal evidence would be nice.

E. My wife, my daughter, and I are the only white family on our block, with the rest being black families and a smattering of Hispanic families.

F. Actually, I did use your whole quote. However, since you committed either fallacies or cliches more than once in that bit, I took it upon myself to point out the different places where you did so.

G. Okay. Go into a black neighborhood and use it. If you're still physically capable of typing afterwards, come back here and tell us how that went for you.

H. It's generally considered offensive to black people if used by whites.

I. That's nice.

J. The fact that racism is not enshrined in law does not mean that it is not enshrined in our culture in many ways both obvious and subtle. However, you were the one who made the assertion, and the burden of proof falls on you.

K. I was mostly mocking your astoundingly cliched white boy racially tone deaf post as a whole, down to the appeal to the better angels of our nature that followed your laughable comments.

But, hey, at least you called me cute, so thanks.

BlackPeopleMeet.com isn't racist, although if I were to make a WhitePeopleMeet.com, I can almost guarantee that a LOT of African Americans would petition to get the website taken down.

BET. Black Entertainment Channel. If anyone were to try to make a White Entertainment Channel, the FCC wouldn't allow it. It would be considered Racist and Offensive.
Anyone else notice this major problem?

Why does the Black Entertainment Channel exist? It is racist in itself, since other races do not have a dedicated channel. I don't see an Asian or a white entertainment channel.

And he also has a point regarding the dating site thing, I haven't seen any dedicated websites for whites, even though ones exist for blacks, asians and any other race or whatever out there.

Explain this shit.

Because the guy who made it paid enough money to have his own television network.

So you're saying that If I had enough money, I would be able to set up a White Entertainment Channel, and lefties wouldn't be petitioning to have it removed? I don't think so.

The entire rest of television is marketed at white people due to the fact that they're the majority. Clearly, a channel aimed at a black audience is financially marketable, and I don't see them stereotyping other groups, so I don't see any harm.

Poor persecuted you. It's so hard to be white, in the majority, and with tons of content aimed directly at you.

Maybe because finding people belonging to the same minority as you can be difficult in certain areas. For instance, you would have a hard time finding someone of African descent in my area, because my area is so overwhelmingly Latin and Caucasian you'd think we are Tolkien's Middle Earth.

Blacks weren't only persecuted by whites,as in the crusades the Arabs treated them ten times worse. Also Jewish people were the ones that opened the trade to whites. Blame the cigeratte companies not the users. Also whites were in slavery too. Look up the People's Crusade and the Children's crusade. Not putting down but we have all done slavery. To be equal we must abolish all forms of radical pride like the BLACK PANTHERS or the KKK or JIDF. Or let all forms of radical pride come legal and accepted by society. Also look Sweden, largest amount of black Europeans and they almost are all crinimals. Any racist crime is unnaceptable. Black on white is bad. White on black is bad.

P.s. more minorities are aborted than whites, gee liberals preach about equality yet are aborting MILLIONS of sabies of minority ethnicities. Then they trap them in welfare slavery and get them to kill and are trying to wipe out Japanese, Korean, and whites. The liberals policies advocate for a race war. Wake the fuck up you dumb asses.

I'm not contractually obligated to humour your misconceived generalization of "lefties"... but since you asked: YES.

Although I can't fathom why you'd want to set up a White Entertainment Channel when the vast majority of television already panders to your demographic.
