im not racist..., i just have a color tv! Options

[T00000]

do your posts always make no sense?


anyway, i don't think most people here got what i was saying.

btw, can we please stop with the, 'OMG U SAID NIGGER!111111" ****, because i used itas an example. no offense.

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.

[sadolakced acid]

yea, anyone can be racist to whites. but racist to blacks? no way.

[T00000]

wtf..
i wasn't off  topic!
go back a page and read..that still stands

who said you were off topic? for the record, i did read what you said, and my comment/post was directed towards you.

[JlIaTMK]

for all the people tellin me history is history..
he asked why black ppl can make "racist" jokes against white ppl
and white ppl can't..
and i answered..so that ends your side of the conversation..i know history is history, and i can't change that.. im not tryna dwell in the past, that's just how it is
and besides white people CAN make racist jokes..and they do..so what the hell are u talking about?

u no what....
yesterday at the mall....
some black guy came up to me and he was like.... u need to trim ur hair and then he started talking crap to me.... and i thought that was very rude that he said that.... but i didnt say anything..... u no Y?

because of fear that he was going to take it that IM racist.... i dont think thats fair either.... its taking my right of speech away and of self defence

and Tblotz.... I LOVE U
u took the words right out of my mouth....
i couldnt explain it ANY better.... any better

[juliar]

I'll move this to Debate.

[T00000]

erm....my mom was vice president of her corporation the president was black..and then a new boss came in that was white..and ALL the black ppl were fired..im not kidding..every single one of them..tell me there's not something wron with that

some white ppl bring the "white guys can't rap or dance thing upon themselves" and saying playing flute is not a "black thing to do" is stereotypical.
like..most boys play trumpet..a lotta trumpet players are white. but I play trumpet and im a black girl >_> <_< ..
yeah..

first of all, maybe there was a reason why all the blacks were fired. if there wasn't a reason, and if it truly was a racist act, that would be national news and there would be lawsuits up the ass. how does a white person bring the "white people can't rap" onto themselves? is it because they are, in fact, trying to rap when it's a black thing to do? I think you are the one being stereotypical. And i don't think me using the example that blacks don't USUALLY play the flute is stereotypical. I didn't say "Blacks don't play the flute" now did I? Now you seem to think it's okay to stereotype whites and say they cant rap and that they seem to be able to bring it onto themselves (which is sad, because how is trying something different bring that onto themselves?) but I can't say that blacks don't usually play the flute. Which they don't. Unless you can surprise me with some figure showing that black males suddenly play the flute more than any other gender/race, the fact still remains. Black men don't usually play the flute. I don't think you should stereotype whites. You know your race degrades and makes fun of our race all the time, yet you don't seem to be admitting it and you are actually defending it.

You know how we disagree with a lot of things? I can honestly say that I totally understand where you're coming from in this...

I work at the YMCA and it's a multicutural environment, and yet when I tell some kids (Hispanics, Asians, Caucasians, African Americans) to stop messing around, the African American kid would say, "it's because I'm Black, isn't it?". I think they meant it as a joke, but I was very offended that he would think I would discriminate against them while they are in the wrong. It's sad that they would use that excuse for everything.

It is true that racism is still rampant in the minds of people, but that doesn't mean people should be suspicious of every little thing... It's ridiculuosly unfair!

[ryfitaDF]

I really hope your kidding. That really pisses me off.

it's true. colleges have to have a set number of blacks, asians, women, etc. etc.


i'm fine with being called cracka or honkey or whatever. i'm not proud of white history. greed, fascism, murder, deviance.... man, i hate white people.

[leeeza702]

You're right. People do tend to get all hype and anxious if there's something like that about african americans. But they think it's funny when people say racist things about white people.

For example, the movie 'white chicks'. What the freak? I wonder what would've happend if someone made a movie called 'black chicks'. lol probably the director and producer would get sued right away.

I wondered about this also when the movie came out.... i didn't see the movie because of that reason... it's okay to call a movie "white chicks" without any problems... but if anyone were to even think about making a movie called "black chicks".... everyone would be saying "Racism" like there were no tomorrow...

has anyone seen 'Bad Santa'... remember when the manager was going to fire the elf guy and the santa??? and remember how they got out of not being fired... they used his "he's black and he's a midget (sp?)" thing...

and why is it that it's SOOOOOO bad when someone that's not black says the word "nigger"... but black people use it all the time??? aren't you guys just being hypocrites (sp?).... i think that's just sooo stupid... you hear a lot of black people use that word... it's just as if they were promoting it... if you don't want other people to use that word your own damn race shouldn't use it either...

p.s.
i'm not racist... and tboltzbabe... very nicely said... took the words right out of my mouth.... i'm not white by the way... i'm asian...

[ryfitaDF]

^ come again?

[leeeza702]

its like me saying..
"u go to createblog.com a lot.." i do too..
pots are black..kettles are black..old saying

so when a black person uses the word "nigger" that person is acknowledging (sp?) that the other person is black???

[ryfitaDF]

aaah i see.

but if somone who doesn't go to cb alot said "you go to createblog.com a lot" should we be offended? i'm not trying to call you wrong or anything, but if white people say the N word it's awful and if a black person says it it's nothing. that's kind of like racism right there.

[ghjgfkgfk]

and why is it that it's SOOOOOO bad when someone that's not black says the word "nigger"... but black people use it all the time??? aren't you guys just being hypocrites (sp?).... i think that's just sooo stupid... you hear a lot of black people use that word... it's just as if they were promoting it... if you don't want other people to use that word your own damn race shouldn't use it either...

some black people say that like as a joke.
you know some people say things like, 'she's MY bitch!" (sh...bad example)
i guess it's a joke.

while i was lurking in the girls lockers room i found this, "wats ur race, no racism by that srry"
i think it's SAD that she(who ever started the topic) had to say that last line (people won't think taht she did)

...i'm getting off topic. but oh well, it's my own topic!

[ghjgfkgfk]

but a black person wouldn't call a white person a nigger
and the createblog.com thing was just an example..
when black ppl say it to each other..its not as offensive bcuz..well..the person can just turn right around and call them the same thing..
ahh...i can't explain it

i get what your saying there :)

'blackboard' is blatently racist. 'whiteboard' is not...

[ryfitaDF]

btw i think its stupid for black ppl to call each other niggers..i certainly don't like being called a nigger regardless of what race

i concur. i don't like it very much at all.

and you did a good job of explaining it. i get it now
it's like how me and my friends call eachother ugly.

[mizz_mithy]

pick up a history book and read it sometime.i'll give a short history lesson.

black people have been hated because the color of their skin. they've been enslaved and treated like dogs becuase of the color of their skin. black people were forced out of their contury and brought somewhere where they did hard labor, were beaten, called niggers and negros, and hated cuz of their skin color. now think about it. black pplz have been hated for since they brought to america and it's still goin on.

oh yea and it's bad to call a black person a nigger because it's an insult and you have no right to say it.

and when black pplz make fun of white pplz it is NO COMPARISON to what black pplz had to go through all those years.

why can't black pplz say they are proud to be who they are? we want to show that we don't care what you do or say we are still proud to be who we are and you can't break us.

p.s. i'm not sayin your racist it just bothers me when pplz say stuff like that.

[T00000]

That's very noble. I think there are other ways to do that than to try to "get back" at whites for the pain and suffering of your people from over 100 years ago. So perhaps, if you really are of that noble opinion, you should be offended that your race has to stoop low enough to have an "eye for an eye" theory, which, according to you, isn't even that accurate.

[T00000]

it's like how me and my friends call eachother ugly.

yeah except umm you aren't

yes i've seen the pictures don't kid yourself

how can you say that when black people make fun of white people its "no comparison"..... that happened like how many years ago????? you act like the white people these days are to be blamed for what your ANCESTORS went through... you act like you went through it.... that's not really fair to blame the white people that are here today for what happened wayyyy before they were even born... goodness, it's HISTORY.... get over it.... black people weren't even the ONLY ones being enslaved.... geeeeze....

and yes... we all know that it's bad to call a black person a "nigger".... if you don't want other people to use it... don't freakin' promote that word... have you noticed that a lot of kids these days are now cussing, etc... they learn from other people and from tv... if black people are throwing the "N" word at each other... (since it's okay to???) what would stop kids from using the "n" word... ????

disagree.

pick up another history book and learn that black people are not the only ones that were slaves.

do you think that it is OKAY to be racist to a white person. no. it's not. you sound close minded.

when i said that i think its stupid to be proud of your race/skin color, i didnt mean just black people or whatever. i was talking about everyone who says that ****, regradless of their race. i still think its pointless. your race is what you are born into. you don't work for it.

is it okay to call a white person a racist name? no. its not. is it okay to call a black person a racist name? no. it's not. 'nigger' (yeah i said it) is NOT the only racist name.

FYI, the KKK clan was not the only racist group either...

[ghjgfkgfk]

here we go again..
all we're saying is that: THAT'S WHY BLACK PEOPLE FEEL THAT WAY
i mean u can type as many paragraphs as u want..
but THAT'S WHY BLACK PEOPLE FEEL THAT WAY

sorry, i don't get what you are saying.
black feel what way?
be specific.

NOW THAT RIGHT THERE IS WHAT PISSES ME OFF
PLZ LOOK BACK AT MY OLD POST.... U NO WHAT.... IM SORRY TO SAY THIS BUT BLACKS BEING ENSLAVED IS NOT AS WORSE AS MANY OTHER COUNTRIES/RACES THAT GOT IT BEING ENSLAVED.... SOME COUNTRIES.... LIKE MACEDONIA HAD IT FOR OVER 500 FREAKIN YEARS.... how many years were blacks enslaved for?....

Y DONT U GET A HISTORY BOOK AND SEE HOW BADLY OTHER RACES/NATIONALITIES WERE TREATED AND HOW LONG THEY WERE ENSLAVED AND ALL THEY DID WAS FORGIVE AND FORGET....
GOD DANG IT.... Y CANT BLACK PPL DO THE SAME?

i agreee... everyone learned to forgive and forget MANY things about the past.... not only slavery but other things as well.... such as, pearl harbor and the bombing of hiromshima... we don't see the U.S. hating on the Japanese people... or vice versa... the philippines should also hate Japanese people because of the Bataan Death March.... (I think that's what it's called).... but we don't... a lot of filipinos even live in japan... the past is the past.... get over it.... we're not the same people that did those horrible things...

[LiDdLe_TaSh]

you know what's funny?
you'd think you were a jackass if you were black.
of course it's easy to forgive and forget.
especially when your ancestors weren't the ones that were enslaved.

im not tryin 2 b mean or nethin but can u name one ancestor of yours that was actually enslaved NO bcuz it happened so long ago and i am NOT racist at all i mean please wats the point but times have changed and now black people and white people are tryin 2 b looked at as equals but people from both races are making it difficlt by doing stupid thingS!!!! so im not targeting black people but that also that history lesson before totally targeted white people and thats not fair either
