Thoughts on racism

I am proud to be white and I'm not a racist??????

Why would you be "proud" to be white. Its like saying I'm proud that i have brown hair, or proud that I'm 6 feet tall..its stupid. How can you be proud over something you had nothing to do with, proud of a genetic roll of the dice? Its one thing to be proud of ones accomplishmnets, but taking pride in your race is kind of stupid.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Racism exists and always will..on all sides. The biggest problem with blacks claiming racism today is when they claim it and who is usually chosen to fling the term around. You can depend on some poverty pimp like Al Sharpton, Quannel X (local Houston shit stirrer) and others to shout racism everytime there is an incident where a black guy, usually after committing a crime or fleeing the police on a high speed chase, is apprehended and touched up a bit. Same thing happens when a white guy fucks up, but theres no poverty pimp there to swoop in and call the police a bunch of racists.

Cynthia Mckinney, the moronic congresswoman, slugs a cop, then claims the cop was racist, all because she was rushing into the capitol without I.D.

A bunch of people get stuck in New Orleans after katrina and of course thats was racism too. God sent a racist hurricane I guess.

The point is all these whining claims of racism do nothing about real racism, except to make other non-blacks feel less inclined to want to trust or deal with blacks at all. It's also not all white on black..there is no love lost for the blacks among the Asian or Hispanic communities either.

As far as there being a lack of effort among blacks to integrate, this is partially true. A 75% illegitimacy rate, along with high unemployment and the worship of the thug lifstyle among black men leads to a generall unacceptance in society..and for good reason. If illegal aliens are streaming here and finding work, why are so many young black men unemployed?

The "shot and robbed" part isn't all that silly. Here in Houston anyway the vast majority of violent crime is done by blacks..mostly black on black, but also most of the random car jackings and robbery/murders are done by blacks. It's a sad fact, not racism. Houstons violent crime rate is up 23%, highest increase in the counrty, mostly becuase of the 150,000 (mostly black) katrina refugees Houston has taken in.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Well, it is hard to deny that the history courses being taught in American schools are wholly inadequate. It is true that too much time is spent teaching politically correct history as opposed to real history. The entire month of February, for example< is spent teaching so called black history, since its black history month, as if black history is something seperate from the rest of history. kids are taught about obscure histroical figures, instead of real history changing people, in the name of being diverse. Same thing happens around Cinco d' Mayo and the like. I mean lets be honest here..does George Washington Carver deserve equal billing as a scientist with Albert Einstein, yet thats how its presented in schools because the belief is that black kids need black heroes to shore up their self esteem. Did Martin Luther King do more for the United States that Abraham Lincoln, George Washington, or FDR for that matter, yet the teaching on them is relegated to secondary status, and they don't even get a holiday thats recognized in any way as much as MLK.

This crappy, politically correct history teaching is why people have no idea what a huge role the french played in the American revolution, or that the hessians fought with the british, or that black troops fought for both sides. And thats just one tiny aspect of history that is neglected in order to appease the special interest groups that all demand history be taught their way.

Your emphasis on Black History Month out of fucking nowhere is a bit telling.

This is a thread about racism, not the French, I was using the example of the French to refer back to previous posts which you apparently chose not to read.

Black History month is a perfect example of a knee jerk reaction to percieved racism. Some "enlightened" thinkers figured, Gee..not enough prominent blacks in American history, lets devote a month to teach all about black history, as if black history is somehow not integral with American history.

As to you're "a bit telling" comment...I guess you're insinuating that I'm racist. well, honestly I am..a bit. Most people are to some degree. I am very prejudiced against the thug culture of many inner city blacks, but I', equally appalled by the meth monkey trailer trash culture of many whites..so is that racism..or is it just a natural aversion to certain people.

I was speaking idiomatically.

How much did you smoke today???...The topic is not about the French, its about racism. I don't give a shit if the french get ignored, but their role in American history...along with many other aspects of American history are overlooked in favor of politically correct teaching. Jeez..if it makes you feel any better we can substitute how the Poles are over looked for their role in the American revolution..its all the same. Or perhaps your school overlooked Lafayette and Kosciousko too???

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

People have been talking about the French and their place in history textbooks since post 155. Therefore, it is dumb for you to barge in at Post 210 and whine about Black History Month. It has nothing to do with the current conversation, you idiot. Your weaksauce attempt at connecting ignored French with PC history does not suffice.

The tals was not about the french..it was about the role of the french in American history, and the overall teaching of accurate American history. It had nothing to do with, as you so adroitly put it "how bad the french stink".
So, Mr. French expert, maybe you wouldn't mind telling us how our allies the French fought against the U.S. in WWII, since it relates to French/American history. You, it seems are quite the victim of PC history teaching sinvce you seems to have little knowledge of actual histroy. So please..educate us with your great knowledge.

And I don't hate black people...Sepia people, yeah, they're nasty, and those burnt umber people suck, but black people are just fine.

FELIPE NO

Why is this not caled a "hate crime?"

Go to the "Vicious beating" video...

A black beats the crap out of a white for no reason..its no big deal. If it was the other way around..and lets be honest here..the so called community activists would be screaming hate crime at the top of their lungs.

Incidents like this are what prompt more racism.

How ya doing, buddy?

I don't believe that it's a hate crime, but you're wrong about things being turned around if the white kid hit the black kid. Just look at the news and you'll see that almost anytime there is white on black crime its labeled a hate crime. There's a double standard as to when the term "hate crime" is applied.

How about the most infamous non-hate crime, the Wichita massacre, where the defendants admitted they abused the victims because of race, but it is not a hate crime of course becuase it was black on white
