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"

when black people or mexicans walk into the swap meet or any place like that, the asian owners automatically tihnk youre gonna steal sumthin. and they stare at you and stuff.

This is what I mean by ridiculous!!!

Damn, if a Black person LOOKS like a thug, talk like a thug, and act like a thug, he/she is basically saying "I'M A THUG", stereotypically speaking. Okay, now if someone who looks like a thug steps into your store, wouldn't you worry, too? If that thug looking person was Asian/Hispanic/White, a Black store owner would feel threatened all the SAME.

ONCE AGAIN, Blacks are NOT the only ones being discriminated. My Dad and I walked into a piano store wearing our casual clothes (jeans and t-shirt) and the White customer service guy IGNORED us and after browsing around I realized that the other customers, who wore NICE (i.e what older people wear to Church) clothes and were Asians and Whites, were getting service. So really, even I have to accept the fact that if I look like a bum going into a fancy place, I'm going to get discriminated.

BeJEZZZUS, you make absolutely NO SENSE, and what you said was completely unthinking. Just like you and others are saying that we shouldn't stereotype Blacks, you should take your own advice and don't stereotype people of other races. That's another one of the proverbial "the pot calling the kettle black" for you.

MOST of the time, you'd think that you're discriminated because of your color even though your race has NOTHING to do with it. Sometimes, all it takes is common sense to know that you're not being discriminated but only that you're being judged based on your outward character.
