"But you call me a racist"

[megaman 2006]

I completely agree with that article. Being white just isn't all its cracked up to be. People take racism much more harshly coming for a white person.

Also, there are so many more organizations that help non-white males.
If you're a black women and you try to run a business, you can get so much government help. Google it and you'll see what I mean.

Any kind of racism is wrong, certain holidays or stuff just for races are wrong though, nobody should ever be grouped into a race, people cannot associate themselves with a part of a race then claim they deserve stuff for things that happened 100's of years ago. People should be treated as an individual, not grouped with their race. While some races will receive more abuse then others, I think all of it is wrong and none of it should be allowed.

Gah you are missing the point completely.

The KKK is a RACIST pro white organization. Not an organization with a good purpose. The point I am trying to prove is that even when we TRY not to be racist, we are viewed as racist.

Also insulting people in an argument is a sign of weakness.

^ I was going to respond to that post but your blatant ignorance is discouraging me from having a conversation with you

 

[Personal Jesus]

ok

i've built up enough patience to deal with you again

xD

yes Africa is an extremely poverty stricken continent, wasn't debating that

the ignorance I was referring to, was you asking me to stop "bigging up" blacks because they don't deserve it

and telling me about my "vision of Africa", which I didn't even in that post (was really just a racist generalization of African American views as a whole)

I don't think I have to really point out the ignorance in that, do I?

The term African American should be banned. It's one of the dumbest stereotypes I've ever seen. First of all, it implies that the person is African - black people also come from Haiti, India, Trinidad, Dominican Republic, Brazil, Australia, and Jamaica.


Second of all, it implies that the person is American, when he/she could just as well have been from any other country in the world. It also labels black people as a 2nd-rank citizen in America, because you don't call white americans American American, do you?

Ok look you fucknuts. KKK Is a WHITE POWER organization. Not a WHITE PRIDE. The KKK was made to discriminate blacks, not encourage white society. A white pride organization would be one where they note historical figures that were white, historical moments that support white people etc.

according to who?

xD

a lot of things said in this thread are insulting to me

but ya don't see me whining about it..

and any pro white group being viewed as racist is not my problem, adapt

just like some whites (a few in this thread) say that blacks being enslaved wasn't their problem

deal with it

you sound like you're just finding out that there are cruel people out in this world

dude, it's 2008

racial discrimination exists, for blacks or whites

outside of your cozy suburbia there is a world full of hate and cruelty

blacks have known this for the longest and we adapt

the way you feel now

feeling that even though whatever you do, views on your race will not change.. (lmao)

is what many blacks have been dealing with their whole lives

welcome to the real world, son

and for the fool confused on what the KKK is

"The Brotherhood of Klans is World wide in scope and perspective. At the same time we respect OTHER pro white organizations and continue to strive to work in unity with all of them. Our Race is at stake!"

straight from the kkk website

and lmao @ the KKK not being a pro white organization... what are you twelve?

 

[shakaka]

racial discrimination exists, for blacks or whites

This is what I was trying to prove in posting this thread. It was not meant to insult you or any other blacks on this site.

 

[Music Makes Me Pwn]

We live in a society these days were its Make Money, Take Money, and Break Money. Skin colours dont really matter anymore these days. A black man with money is just as good to rob as a white man with money, vice versa.

 

[MosDef]

hey man I agree with the latter of your post

but to say that skin colors don't really matter any more these days is just plain foolish

when you're at the grocery store do you check out with the black lady or the white lady?

xD

 

[opoweroil]

I hate to agree his comment about your avatar mad no sense..

But the fact is its not a matter of whether we want you to be labeled as racists or not (like you said two wrongs dont make a right) but for the fact that we shouldn't be labeled as racists for that.

And I don't see why we can't have a United Whiteboy College Fund!

I'm talking about your avatar...

Well anyways, go make one, who's stopping you?

 

[MosDef]

xDD

true

his avatar can create some racial tension

and yea

by all means have a United Whiteboy College Fund

I think the United Negro College Fund was created for the abundance of unfortunate blacks

and being that whites aren't necessarily viewed as unfortunate (not saying that there aren't poor whites), it wouldn't really be beneficial to raise for funds for them

 

[Music Makes Me Pwn]

If im at a grocery store, i go to the line thats less full, not to the line thats filled with white / black people, or what ever one has a white or black cashier .

 

[1337_Byte]

Ya seriously, who would do that, it would really be about which line is faster.

 

[reddogwwa]

Dude just grow up and accept it. Every ethnic group has their own racist congrigation. Every ethnic group has their own little clicks and benefits.

I applied for a scholarship thats only eligible for people with italian blood in them, doesn't make them racist they just want their culture to stay alive and be known.

I also applied for a scholarship thats only eligible for people with african/african american blood in them, once again it doesn't make them racist just wants their culture to flourish.

If you feel this strongly about it... bitching to a group of people on a forum is not going to help "your situation", take it to the newspaper or something.

EDIT: not saying your entirely wrong, just talking about it here isn't going to help. Do something about it, because I like being white just as much as I like being black

 

[mcnuggetman]

point taken, its a race based government there not gonna take these things seriously when we are at war, slaved and baet the shit out of most of the races, so put your self in there shoes .. what would you do?

 

[x3mvess]

agree 100%! why is it only white ppl can be racist? i wanna have my own holidays and TV channel and magazine and definately a white-only school. but nope can't cuz then colored ppl would whine and bitch at us for being racist. go figure.

 

[DarkSpark]

Generally speaking "black" people when saying things like that AREN'T being cruel intentionally. i.e. calling a woman a bitch to their friends is the same, they say it but don't actually MEAN that they think their girlfriend/wife is a bitch.

Admittedly the whole racism thing is a bit one sided. But i personally think that after the years of slavery the african american society had to go through its their right to take revenge, and they are doing it in anon-violent way as racists. And not jus tthe slavery, the, segregation and lack of rights that followed it was appalling

 

[skillshot]

defo with killslasherkill on this1

 

[Fallen Soul]

The fact that when I go to school and a black kid can call me that, and it has happened and a teacher just says you guys stop it go to class. Then in that same situation you know for a fact if i did that in reverse calling him a nigger or black boy or something the news channel would show up on my door asking why. Also I hate when black people to day (not all of them) try to put guilt or shame on you for something you never did. Such as trying to put guilt on you for something like slavery yet I myself have never owned a slave treated another human being as a slave nor will I in the future. I do see a little of where Mosdef is coming from but it gets misguided. I as a person should never have to feel guilty for being born white, as you or any one else should have to feel it for being born any other race or color. I do know that there is racism towards Blacks, Hispanics, Asian, and Caucasian people alike.

xDD
by all means have a United Whiteboy College Fund

Anyone else see something wrong in that quote?

when you're at the grocery store do you check out with the black lady or the white lady?

I think someone else said it perfectly. It doesn't matter who is my check out clerk I would go to the line with less people whether the person there is White or green I don't care. All my mind is thinking is about going home and putting them away ans what I'm doing after.

and any pro white group being viewed as racist is not my problem, adapt

just like some whites (a few in this thread) say that blacks being enslaved wasn't their problem

deal with it

We never said deal with it. I'm saying that I never did that so don't make me feel guilty for it. I understand that there is racism everywhere you go for anyone there are even countries that make you feel guilty and wrong just from being an American. I'm not mad that there is a United Negro College Fund. But it if white people did it there would be some questioning on leaving others out and we would be looped in that whole. I do understand what its like to be looked at different. I am part native American I don't look like it allot but enough for some people to notice and I do see it makes a difference. But since I know how it feels I'm not ignorant enough to throw it on to another person.

Meh.
This post is correct on so many aspects.
