El Sitherino Posted June 9, 2003 Share Posted June 9, 2003 my thoughts are that if you want to be treated equally you gotta take insults just like i do. if you want to be treated equally you can't claim racism just because i call you an *******. or you can't claim racism if i hit you when you provoked me.i hate the person no the belief.

lukeskywalker1 Posted June 12, 2003 Share Posted June 12, 2003 ok, if this has been mentioned, then sorry, cause im in a hurry, and skipped half of the posts, sorry.... well, 1 thing ive noticed is black people (at least around my high school) call say stuff like whats up "N" and they frequently call themselves that, but if i called them that, even jokingly, like they do themselves, all of a sudden, ive committed a terrible crime. not to mention i aggree with MydnightPsion, because theve caused trouble 4 me too. Some are cool, but around my area, they try to start a fight or something. Im not racist, and i can sort of c why they get angry, because there are a lot of racists out there, kkk ist around in my area, ive never seen em (prolly cause im in here on my PC all day....) but ive heard about them.... (then again, that doesnt mean its true but...) But i hang with some black people, they can be really cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solbe M'ko Posted June 13, 2003 Share Posted June 13, 2003 Hrmm... I always knew the KKK was still around, but I guess I never really thoght about it. How in the HELL can a terrible, criminal organization like that be allowed to exist? I mean, you Americans have wars to fight and everthing, but problems like those are the ones that need real, immediate attention. I don't think that the "solution" to racism can be found by brainwashing school children, though. It really needs to start at home, where responsible parents can stop racist influences before they cause problems. I have a cousin who's about 8 years old, who lives in rural Saskatchewan. He came to visit in the city, and saw a black person. He simply couldn't believe it. I guess that's understandable, but you'd think that a kid would know better than to stare at this guy because of his skin color. Parents shouldn't have to tell their kids not to discriminate against minorities, nor should they tell kids to be nice to children of color. As soon as that distinction is made, the kid will start looking at people differently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can still say you like Asian women, I am just saying that we are all the same race, thus, racial terms are obselete. HOWEVER, I in no way call people who use the term "Asian", for example, stupid. I meant that it was wrong to call them different races. "it just helps me let ya'll know what kind of women i like" If you think Asian girls are cute, by all means say so. Sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jubatus Posted July 16, 2003 Share Posted July 16, 2003 A few comments on the matter. An unfortunate tendency in some parts of the world, racism is a self-fulfilling prophesy, a bad cycle if you will. E.g. (and this will be a rough example just for clarification) a black man will be discriminated against for no other reason than prejudice and be denied job opportunities, therefor he ends up relying on crime to support himself and his family and thus become an element "justifying" racism, i.e. he becomes what is discriminated against because of the discrimination alone. Another problem exists for people that don't have much interaction with people of different cultures and complexions, like myself (and that is purely due to the area in which I live). The problem is that of becoming too selfaware when in the presence of a person of a different complexion. I become too aware of myself not coming off as being racist, which I'm not, so I can tend to bottle up or act akward, because I'm too damn conscious of not saying or acting in any way to signal with even the slightest sign of being racist. And the sad thing is that it can be exactly that behaviour caused by this over-awareness that make me come off as being racist. To put it simple, it sucks, and I think it stems from the media bombarding us too much about racism; we become too careful around others and fail to simply relax and act natural as we should and would. I'd wager that had I never heard of racism and I met a black man for the very first time I'd simply be fascinated about his appearance and maybe engage in a casual conversation about it without any dread of behavioral pitfalls. There is such a thing as being too damn aware. In conclusion, as stated before in this thread, the road out of the dark place of racism is a road of understanding. Instead of simply letting fear and ignorance reign, we ought to educate ourselves on different cultures. Oh wait, I have more. This is for any and all neo-nazi and KKK sympathizers out there. As much as I can tell your greatest fear is that of the "white" genemass getting "polluted" by "colour". The whole idea of reproduction is the evolving and strengthening of the species, and though I'm no genetics expert I believe that the best and strongest offspring generally comes from parents that are as different genetically as possible...As opposed to inbreeding. That is why we're not immortal nor probably ever will be. Our offspring is by nature supposed to take over and thus the species slowly evolve into something stronger and better. Our immortality lies in our ability to procreate. But I'm (almost) moving off-topic here so I'll stop at this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShockV1.89 Posted July 16, 2003 Share Posted July 16, 2003 As one who works in an establishment that tends to place a huge emphasis on black awareness and racism, I believe that white people are often made out as the evil race, and blacks the poor victims. Anti racism books litter the library, and this is all well and good. But then there are books that praise the words of Malcolm X (a self-proclaimed black supremist) and urge black students to attend black colleges (a racist insitution, a throwback to times when it was really needed). It really makes me mad sometimes, mostly because I can't speak up, as I would be shunned and ostracized. As it is, the parents of the children I teach rarely take me seriously, and some seem outright hostile. As they are cordial to the black teachers, I can only assume..... I'm the minority here, and even though it makes me understand what it may have been like to be a black person during the 40s and 50s, it doesnt make it right to happen to me today. "I put in work, and it's all for the kids, but these cats done forgot what work is!" -DMX Sums up my feelings in a line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FunClown Posted July 17, 2003 Share Posted July 17, 2003 Racism sucks. In 2000, one of my friends got bashed up in a parking lot because he was Muslim. It was a gang of so called Lebonese "Christians" who fight with a gang of Lebanese "Muslims". I knew one of the Lebanese muslims but my friend who got bashed had nothing to do with it. It was the worst black eye I had ever seen. My friend had really dark skin and you could still see the black around his eye. It was funny, one day I was talking to him and I told him how when I was younger, around 4 or 5 I used to be afraid of touching black people because I thought the colour would rub off one me. He told me that he had the same problem with white people, thinking the colour would rub off on him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
