Racism behind the keyboard

Because they probably never had any friends of a different race.

A lot of the people I know, online and offline, are generally racist. This could be because I live in Arkansas though. Its a lot easier to call someone a nigger over a Youtube comment than to their face. The guys are just little pussies if you ask me. If they have a real problem with someone because of their race, then they need to just stay in their house and not interact with society.

I totally agree 100%. I am sick of these bastards thinking its funny to say it over youtube, or a game. But you know for a fact they would never say it to some ones face. Because there prolly just a nerdy kid who would be beat up anyways.
 
They say it online cause' those racists those have the nerve to say it in real life cause' they can't fend for themselves. I agree with Fallen Soul.
 
Thanks for the responses.
Instead of quoting messages and disecting them like some people do on this forum, I am just going to address the posts by username.


To Deadzone,
No, actually I don't use racial slurs when I lose games.. that's why I get so confused. I may call someone a fucker, a loser, or a cuntmuscle... but never a cracker, simply because it is so out of context. People on battle.net, which I am ready to assume is at LEAST 85% white call each other nigger regularly. They say it as an insult.. but it really means nothing unless pointed towards a black person. The contradiction really confuses me and that is why I made this thread.

To Annex,
Thanks for banning that jerk. Everyone has a right to their own opinions, strong or not. But he did make some very, very, very rude remarks about my race. Thanks again.

To Insane Monk,
I didn't really understand your post at all, but calling someone a nigger is NOT a joke in any way. You are saying you are positive I have been racist in some way... but I don't understand why. Get some logic plus a spell checker and post back.

To CrudeSapphire,
Your opinion is strong, but to each his own. Hope you can learn to love everyone for who they are sometime soon =)

To Oh Jesus,
...??? Read the post quality thread. That post made absolutely no sense.

To Fallen Soul,
Agreed 100%.


Eager to read more responses. Post away!
 
Nowadays I think people are more criticizing each others' religions. Like people keep callin' me a "terrorist" and "bomber" because I am a Muslim.
 
To A Soul's Bounds,
You make a decent point... but it has little to do with the original post... Try to stay a little more on-topic please =P

Any more responses?
 
I think most people who call black people "niggers" do it because they might have been in trouble with them before. Like CrudeSapphire said, i have nothing aganist black people at all, but i have alot aganist Turks and Arabs due to the fact every single one living here is a complete moron.
 
To speljohan,
I find it hard to believe that you have absolutely nothhinngg against black people at all. /looks at your sig. It is funny, but also sort of disrespectful of a time of hardship for our race.
Even though I strongly disagree with your overgeneralization about Turks and Arabs, I respect each man's opinion (and women's-for the ladies in the house). To each his own, I say. Now if only we could get those people who debate the existence God and whether Rap vs. Rock to realize that fact =P.

The reason i have that in my signature was because i found it hilarious a website on the internet (advertising domain) randomly generated it. If you are offended by it, i could take it off.
 
Im getting kicked off the computer so i didnt get the opportunity to read all the comments, so if someone has said this alright i apologise, it just means your opinion was a good one.


I personally believe that when something goes wrong, they look for a scapegoat or a group to blame it one.

Eg/ I know alot of people, that when they get cut off in traffic, they accuse the driver of either being a female driver or an asian or indian. Why? Because a popular belief, a stereotype if you will, is that asians, indians and females cant drive.
Asians = Invented drift
Indians = ..........My friends indian ^^ sorry...
Females = Females are also stereotyped to look after their cars... so why are they classed as shit drivers?

Racism, i see it, is someones way of a scapegoat which turns into actual hatrid over absolutely nothing. I bet most of the time, racists have rarely associated with other cultures irl.
 
I am not going to lie i dont like evry black/muslim person in the world. And yes i have a couple of times wanted to be racist towards someone but then i think. Whats the diffrence wow they have a diffrent skin colour but then they could think the same about white people. I have seen racism many times over the internet and in real life. And i think it just shows how ignorant some people realy are. And also thanks for bringin this topic up it might show some people that racism is pointless.
 
Some people post the "n" word freely on the internet because this kind of content is not blocked and the "n" word is commonly used among teenagers (at least i think it is due to rap lyrics). Personally at my school, man people use the "n" word in a friendly way with buddies and joking around like having fun in a group- nobody takes it offensively. I think since your living in a town with not much racial tensions, you haven't seen/heard the true racial slurs used in for example the South.
=\ just my opinion
 
people dont feel as if they can be "touched" or "hurt" online so that's why they don't say it to their. Faces. they're pussies if you ask me. I can be racist at times and when I do I go to someones face and say it. Im not gonna call someone a nigger,cracker, beaner, or towel head on line. I mean it's a complete waste of breath.
 
To Speljohan,
The picture is hilarious. I do have a sense of humor as well, don't worry about removing it. I was just pointing out the fact that usually people have some racist thoughts inside them. You, my friend, are a diamond in the rough.

To Penman2k7,
Respect.

This is sort of off topic, but I'll address that. Racism is racism. Regardless of what race receives the flame. Racists can take the shape of T4ank, or they can take the shape of my great uncle. I do not get offended when i see someone call someone a cracker on Youtube comments, etc. I get ashamed. To me, racists are foolish, and to see a black person be so foolish gives a bad name to our race.

When i see people like T4ank on forums, I just laugh. Talk alot of shit over the internet in hopes of sounding big and bad. By the way, screw your infraction T4ank. Noone is reporting you on this thread, say whatever shit you what about my race-it really makes no difference to me, it just shows that you are extremely ignorant.

AMEN Trust!I am black as well, and when I see that stuff T4nk just typed...I just laugh out loud and think how much of a lost cause that kid really is...Anyways back onto the topic...I believe that the kids using racial slurs over the internet are just really troubled about the fact that people can have different skin colors..they can't handle it so they need to push it to insults...I honestly just feel sympathy for that person because they don't understand that it's just a damn skin color....Who the hell cares what you look like?We all share this Earth and we need to just recognize that and we can all live as one...But that's only my opinion...
 
People probably make a lot of racist behind the keyboard because it must feel safer to do so on the other side of the country then to their face.
It's probably just a way for people to feel more powerful towards others when they're just a bunch of obese retards who want to gain some power by harassing others. Just sad really.
 
To XxSilverxX,
Agreed 350%.

To Red_Pheonix,
I thought this at first. But, then I saw just how many people were so blatantly racist that I thought there must have been another answer. However, it seems that quite a few losers prey Battle.net and Youtube comments to share their puny hatred...simply because they are afraid to speak their minds in real life.
 
People behind a keyboard lie about their life, their appearance, their social status, their wealth, and everything they can think of... Anyways, when people are behind a keyboard they feel more comfortable and less threatened by others. People will usually not say harmful things to others in front of their face. However, when on the internet people flame, yell, and fight all the time. Mainly because they think "Oh, I'll never see that (fatass, jerk, prep, n*gger, ch*nk, sp*c, or be*ner) ever again.

Main point I'm trying to get across...
People who argue (argue, and not debate) over the internet are stupid. People who make fun of others' on the internet are stupid as well.

T4ank: There isn't a White history month because the White man has ALWAYS been on top. White people don't deserve it because they weren't enslaved for hundreds to thousands of years, they weren't made fun of because the way they looked, they weren't BANNED from the US for 40-60 f*cking years (Chinese). This is why only Blacks, Orientals, and Latinos get their own month.
 
I haven't seen it on Runescape but definatley on Halo, they are just pussies who are too chicken to say it to an african's face for fear of reprimation
 
Some people are too wimpy to express their feelings face to face (cuz they know they'd get owned lol)
