Wait...wha?blah blah blah, this constant playing of the race card only helps to make people more racist than they normally would be.
Son, I disappoint.

Do you think anyone born today would be racist if it weren't for the constant bs from 50+ years ago being smeared around?Wait...wha?
Son, I disappoint.
Yes. Because of people who are angry that the niggers want their kids to go to the same schools and use the same bathrooms as everyone else.Do you think anyone born today would be racist if it weren't for the constant bs from 50+ years ago being smeared around?
Aside from this not being relevant to anyone born today, you've got some major issues.Yes. Because of people who are angry that the niggers want their kids to go to the same schools and use the same bathrooms as everyone else.
I call them white people.
You're the one who just blamed black people for racism, my friend.Aside from this not being relevant to anyone born today, you've got some major issues.
Right. Because racism is perpetrated by those simply pointing out the racist acts and statements of others, as opposed to the people ACTUALLY making the racist statements?Do you think anyone born today would be racist if it weren't for the constant bs from 50+ years ago being smeared around?
article said:This week Marilyn Davenport, a Southern California Tea Party activist and member of the central committee of the Orange County Republican Party circulated what some are calling hate e-mail to an unknown number of her fellow conservatives.
Written under the words, “Now you know why — No birth certificate!”, is an Obama family portrait depicting his parents as chimpanzees.
I did not blame 'black people' for racism.You're the one who just blamed black people for racism, my friend.
The very large majority of white people (especially those my age and those that I interact with) aren't racist, yet that's the stereotype we get. I probably get that more than most because of all the places that I could have been born, I lucked out and got Alabama. So anytime I'm outside of the South and mention where I'm from, the typical comments about how I must be racist come up. Even in Germany and Turkey when I tell people where I'm from they mention slavery and racism. Even the ****ing bum in Denver ran away when he asked me where I was from. I'm not racist. My friends aren't racist. Yet I hear all the time about how I must be racist because of where I was born. So my apologies if I just don't give a **** about racism.Oh my god. ????? how utterly stupid are you?
People aren't racist because of backlash from criticism about slavery. They're racist because they cannot accept their own failures and displace it onto others, they're racist because they had morons for parents, they're racist because they are just ****ing stupid.
Skin color has nothing to do with the content of ones character, period. end of discussion.
I was just thinking about that one, since it happened in my backyard. My favorite was when there was a protest outside the old racist cunt's house, and the neighbor made the case for the protesters being the REAL RACISTS, dontcha know. Kinda like ??????? here...
Sorry to jump into this argument late.Well, is it true or is it not true that "black men commit murders, rapes, robberies, muggings, and burglaries all out of proportion to their numbers"? (I'd venture, without knowing the stats, that it's true, but that a large portion of the effect can be explained by SES. This in turn begs the question of why do we have persistent low SES in the black community. Is it because our welfare state isn't strong enough? Riots in Britain would seem to indicate otherwise. Is it because affirmative action isn't affirmative enough? You all know my opinion on that already…
Also note that the LA riots were predominantly black(-on-Korean). They were a race riot. Was the beating of Rodney King reprehensible? Sure. Burning down Korean storefronts isn't the proper response in any universe I know of, though.
I've been accused of being a racist because I point out my friends and colleagues acting racist.I was just thinking about that one, since it happened in my backyard.

Here we go:
Leslie Savage, a longtime neighbor and a friend of Davenport's, said the demonstration was motivated by race. She called Davenport "a good person."

As soon as someone finds oil there.When does the "War on Racism' start?
Translation: My friends have never been racist towards my white ass so it must not exist.I did not blame 'black people' for racism.

To say that it is any more racist than any other part of the country or any other part of the world is bs. Should I link to a host of news articles showing how racist Oakland is?Translation: My friends have never been racist towards my white ass so it must not exist.
Sorry to break it to you buddy but the south is still pretty freaking racist. Anyone you know it this story?

That is not what happened at all.The fact that the media is jumping on Ron Paul for pointing out how the false concept of race impacts minorities and majorities is pathetic.
Go for it. I never claimed that racism isn't a big deal, that was you.To say that it is any more racist than any other part of the country or any other part of the world is bs. Should I link to a host of news articles showing how racist Oakland is?
For what other reason should someone be able to call them that and another person not? Should the word be completely banned, or should everyone be able to use it, albeit with the same limitations as any other profanity? I think that would be racist to say that some races can use certain words and others can not.I just love how racists like to say things like we can't call 'em niggers but they can call each other that or that gwb and obama as primates are even remotely similar. If by similar one meant that idiots accepted we all came from primates and not just the niggers. But that's not the case at all, only blacks and the rest of the mud people came from our apelike ancestors. white americans were put here by god.
What you said, is "the south is still pretty freaking racist." If you believe that, then you should have said the world is still pretty freaking racist.I never claimed that racism isn't a big deal, that was you.
Correct, but in our society it is generally acceptable to be nasty to someone based on their own mistakes and shortcomings. It is not acceptable to be nasty to someone based on factors outside of their control such as race, sex, or disability.And for whatever reason people decided to insult George Bush as a monkey, it wasn't for any nice reason. So whether or not it was racist or just mean, it doesn't much matter what label you put to it. Neither are nice.
No argument here, I was just being specific because of your sob story about being from the south. You can get killed just because of your race in lots of places. That seems pretty freaking racist to me.What you said, is "the south is still pretty freaking racist." If you believe that, then you should have said the world is still pretty freaking racist.
If you read into what Paul himself says that's actually what most of his "racist" comments are about.That is not what happened at all.
I know your stance, but is that really an acceptable train of thought?Correct, but in our society it is generally acceptable to be nasty to someone based on their own mistakes and shortcomings.
As far as I can tell his comments were taken out of context once (the 95% criminals bit). Other than that the racist sh!t he says can't really be explained away.If you read into what Paul himself says that's actually what most of his "racist" comments are about.
Like I said in my post, I'm ok with that.I know your stance, but is that really an acceptable train of thought?
The bit about the race riots and welfare checks in California was taken out of context as well.As far as I can tell his comments were taken out of context once (the 95% criminals bit). Other than that the racist sh!t he says can't really be explained away.
If you have some more examples I'm ready to see them.
You have to be able to understand the difference between uses. White people calling blacks, niggers is grossly different than two black dudes saying sup nigga. The base meaning of the two words are entirely different.For what other reason should someone be able to call them that and another person not? Should the word be completely banned, or should everyone be able to use it, albeit with the same limitations as any other profanity? I think that would be racist to say that some races can use certain words and others can not.

I don't know how many comments there were. There are some earlier in this thread. Most that I've seen have been selectively quoted and taken out of context or have been quick to pull the race card just because race was brought up. There was also an issue with him voting against a congressional gold medal for Rosa Parks. What they usually leave out is that he also voted the same way for Mother Teresa and Pope John Paul II because he is against asking the tax-payers to foot the bill.^^^^ Well that accounts for two racist comments!
How do you feel when a white dude says to you 'sup nigga' because he hears it from other people, the tv, and songs all the time?You have to be able to understand the difference between uses. White people calling blacks, niggers is grossly different than two black dudes saying sup nigga. The base meaning of the two words are entirely different.
People called gw a monkey because of his intelligence, not skin color or geography he was born from. Major difference. that and he make the same faces a chimp would when given a coloring book. People draw racial comparisons between black men/women and apes to reenforce the idea that they are somehow lessor on a genetic level.
If you can't seem to see that, or are choosing to ignore it to lessen the impact of your views well then nothing else can really be said.
This is something I have heard plenty of growing up. I'm from a mostly white part of the SF bay (for example, before high school I had only gone to school with one black kid, coincidentally he was one of my friends because we were not in the cool crowd). Lots of white kids think it's funny or cool to throw "nigger" around. I have always assumed that this is because they are sheltered and almost never have interactions outside of their own race.How do you feel when a white dude says to you 'sup nigga' because he hears it from other people, the tv, and songs all the time?
No it wasn't. I linked to the scanned pages earlier. The only way they were out of context is if the previous page said, "I'd be a huge fvcking racist if I wrote (or published, whatever) the material on the next page:"The bit about the race riots and welfare checks in California was taken out of context as well.
And I don't think the kids mean anything incendiary by it, but they hear it in all the music that they listen to and they in turn want to be cool and say the same things.Lots of white kids think it's funny or cool to throw "nigger" around.
lol must spread repNo it wasn't. I linked to the scanned pages earlier. The only way they were out of context is if the previous page said, "I'd be a huge fvcking racist if I wrote (or published, whatever) the material on the next page:"
They also hear about slapping hoes and gun violence but you wouldn't defend them if they acted on those lyrics. That word is very offensive and little kids who don't understand what it means or how it effects people should not be using it.And I don't think the kids mean anything incendiary by it, but they hear it in all the music that they listen to and they in turn want to be cool and say the same things.
