nevermind the topic title...

anyway.
it's okay to be racist...if you're doing it to a white person.

why is 'nigger' more offenstive than 'wigger' or 'cracker'?

have you noticed those 'black shows' show white people as very dumb and stupid. what if it was the other way around? you would have 476583x33 people saying the show is racist.

i don't get it when people say 'PROUD AND BLACK/-insert race here-".
it's just a skin color! why be proud of a skin color?
yuo're race is not something you work for or earn, you are born into it. you can't help it. what's there to be proud of there?

the reason there is a black history month and not a white history month, is because we need more than a month to explain to our children the stupidity of white men.

i'll call someone an african america the day i get call a 'middle eastren american"

I totally understand why Blacks would feel discriminated in some situations, but feeling it and experiencing it are two different things. The kids that I work with just use it as an excuse most of the time, even when the sentence "it's because I'm Black" has nothing to do with it.

Yes, Africans were enslaved, but other races such as the Chinese were discriminated and looked down on as well when they were working the railroads, and Japanese Americans were "jailed" after Pearl Harbor because Americans were too suspcicious and spiteful after what happened even thought it wasn't their fault. Sure, African Americans suffered many injustices, and I'm not going to justify something unjustifiable, but using that as an excuse in contemporary time is... out of date, and overused.

The White man doesn't discriminate only Blacks, when he discriminates, he would discriminate Hispanics, Asians, and Mid Easterns as well. And when Blacks/Asians/Hispanics discriminate, they discriminate other races as well.

Trust me when I say that discrimination works BOTH ways. So, Blacks are not the only ones on the receiving end.
