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 think this should be in debate

yes i totally agree with you. TOTALLY. and also, seriously. an eye for an eye never works out now does it? that's what you're trying to achieve. i think, just because of what blacks went through, they think their definition of racism is somehow stricter than whites. well you know what, it ISNT. if you think one thing is racist, you can't just go around doing the same thing to whites. blacks arent the only people that were treated poorly in this country. not only that, they weren't the only people who were enslaved. Have you ever heard of shanghaing? that was big where i lived, in portland. back in the 1800s, people would go into bars, and slip drugs into unsuspecting people's drinks. when they passed out, they'd take the person through a tunnel behind the bar out to the dock on the columbia river, and proceed to ship them over to foriegn countries to work as slaves. and honey, these people were white. But you don't see them running around flipping out because their own kind enslaved them. you don't see us doing that. a lot of the blacks in this country weren't even related to a slave. most of you aren't even suffering from what happened more than a hundred and fourty years ago. you could argue that, because of slavery, blacks have no opportunies blah blah blah BULLSH!T. there's a such thing as the "Hope Scholarship" over here in Georgia, where anyone who has a GPA of above 3.0 can go to any public college they want in this state, all expenses paid. Still, the percentage of blacks actually attending college is low. So seriously, don't blame us. Also, I think we whites put up with a hell of a lot from blacks, given that if we would do the same to them, we'd be called racist.

For example: I had a black friend named Xavier. Every single time we'd critisize him, he'd respond with "It's because I'm black, ISNT IT." So one day at lunch, he looked at this girl named Danielle (who was black,) and was like "I really don't like her. She's so damn annoying and she thinks people actually care about what she has to say." So I simply said "It's because she's black, ISNT IT." Do you know what happened? He was extremely offended.

Now why is this? Blacks just feel entitled to make fun of whoever they come across, if they happen to be white. White guys cant rap, white girls can't dance. According to them. But if you see a black man trying to learn the flute, which is not only a usually not black thing to do, but also a female thing to do, you don't see people giving him a hard time. Employers always have issues firing their employees if the employee happens to be black and the employer, white, for fear of being called RACIST. But the other way around, and there's never a problem. Either blacks need to CHILL OUT, or whites need to stop taking **** from blacks. Blacks have gone through a lot, yes. But they need to understand that with their struggles and hardships, even at the time, much of the united states and our country of whites DIDNT support what was happening to them.

So if you want equality like you said you all do, maybe you should treat whites equally as well. There are some hardcore southern racists who don't treat blacks well, but other than that, I have not met or seen anyone who ever treated a black person the wrong way. I only take in the fact that the person is black, same as I would say She's asian or She's Indian. But when you start making sure everyone saw the difference between the two races and when you want everything to be segregated in thought, that's when you start contradicting the "equality" you want.

TBoltzbabe: i totally agree with everything youve said

what everyones said is true blacks wernt the only people enslaved sure maybe the us focuses on the period around the civil war and automatically thinks of that when they hear the word slavery but the should.... plenty of white slaves were around wayy before the civil war. for example when colonists came here they had slaves who were white



heres a page all about white slaves in the us
