Thats a riot. While pissing about racism you just stereotyped everyone below the mason dixon line. A little hypocritical are we?

Where the fvck did I stereotype EVERYone?

And I quote:

Very strange to meet people that go out of their way at all times to show that they are racist. It's like being on Mars down there.

Did I say everyone? No.

It is very strange to meet overt racists for the first time. I had no direct experience until the late 80's.


Example: first time we arrived in Savanah GA. We got to town early, and a friend of the promoter offered to take us swimming (super hot that day)

His girlfriend pipes up - "We don't go to the public pool though, the water is dirty from the n*ggers swimming in it."

I told her to go fvck herself.


This is something I've encountered every time I've been to the south since. Not everyone is like this, but those people who are make SURE you know what they think.

I guess out in CA the racists just keep it bottled. In the south they just come right out and say it.

It's pretty fvcking disgusting.

I'm just saying that most folks walking around pointing fingers have 3 pointing back at themselves.

Agreed, but not in this case.

I wasn't pointing fingers, I was making on observation (albeit obvious): there are many overt racists in the south.

But I was asking about your screen name

Heh heh.

Racism shmacism...
If people would just not care, then they wouldnt get offended. Lynchings and beatings are a thing of the past. Dont eg people on by getting offended.

the problem is less the person getting offended and more the friggin' PC-whiners getting offended on their behalf.

very true. it seems that everyone is worried about someone else saying something that could offend yet another third party.
Plenty of examples jsut from this forum.
As far as reacism goes, I grew up here in VA and didn't encounter it till high school. Oddly enough it was all the other races making fun of white people, cause that's totally OK. We just can't do it back to them.
Two eye opening experiences,
taking my Filipino (ex) fiance to meet my great grandmother, great grandmother says "she's a sweet girl, ......but she's colored" Well duh. Visiting rural Ohio, not far away from what aparently is the home of the Arian Nation, I felt far more uncomfortable there than I did in brooklyn at 3am.

Didn't some black guy get dragged along behind a pickup recently? I seem to remember reading summat. Could be wrong tho.

Yeah, I think that was like 7 years ago...and they went to jail forever. Id be willing to bet that more whites are killed by blacks per year than the blacks by whites tho.

That depends if you include victims of 'the man'

You mean "bleached"?

Well considering whites are what, 60% of the population that's a pretty safe guess. I'd also guess too that you're more likely to be murdered if you're black. However without any sort of context my statistical speculation is just as meaningless as yours.

7 years is very little time if you're hoping for attitudes, fears and prejudices to change.
