I actually got the idea for this from a research paper that I'm doing AND Tung's debate topic about the concept of race.
Do you think it's better be color-blind and treat all races as if they were exactly the same? Or be color-conscious and acknowledge the similarities and differences between the races and treat them accordingly? |

Color concious. Some things are related to race, but not color. You're not going to find a suburban white guy downing a 40 malt liquor while rapping about bitches, hos, and asses.
Sorry if that sounded racist, but some stereotypes can be true. |

Sorry if that sounded racist, but some stereotypes can be true. wowzers! that doesnt make much sense at all, since there are a lot of african americans who dont drink malt liquor and dont rap at all much less rap about bitches and hoes and asses. what about the white people who rap/sing/talk about killing their fiancees? and their mothers and even themselves? lets face it black people and white people have their problems regardless of race QUOTE(illmortal @ Apr 22 2008, 02:30 PM) Color blind. You know one of the reasons why I love the middle east? Because racism doesn't exist (unless it's some terrorist organization that claims white man of the west is the spawn of satan). It's actually against the law to be racist, even if it's verbal. I believe it's time for the U.S. to have this law implemented. Punishable by a steep fine, $500-$5,000. i thought racist acts deemed hate crimes were against the law in the united states too. |
