Thoughts on racism

The time of sympathy toward slavery has long passed. Blacks just like any other race have equal rights now, so there are no longer excuses.

Jewish people have the Holocaust which is probably worse than slavery and you don't see them crying about everything.

I have a lot of black and minority friends so I'm not racist, but I have to call it how I see it. Living in a highly populated city of minorities, a lot tend to want things handed to them very often without any effort in earning it.

The race card is too often pulled in today's society. IMO, some blacks and other minorities use it as a crutch to be lazy and get things handed to them. Not all, but a fair share. At least here in Philly.

No race is perfect though.

As far as racism goes, people are too often in society called racist. If someone says something like "blacks are more athletic than whites" they would be called racist by a large majority of people in today's society. Even though that above statement is so obviously true. IMO, to be racist you have to show obvious hatred or undermining of a race. Saying I hate this race or this race is a disgrace to the planet and are animals, then that is racist. But logically comparing two races and giving one an advantage over the other in terms of something(like athleticism), it is not racist.

How ya doing, buddy?

I don't even care about certain minorities having their own days. It doesn't effect me, so I really don't even care.

The thing that bothers me is that if a white history month was put into effect, a lot of minorities would pull a race card saying whites are forcing their history onto minorities.

I agree with the poster that said there are too many double standards. A lot of things are ok in one instance, but not in the other.

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?

I agree with a good deal of this post. The term racism by minorities, including blacks is too loosely thrown around. Like when there are protests when a black serial killer is about to be executed. The protests aren't anti-death penalty, they are anti-killing blacks. The excuses pour out about how the guy is innocent and how everyone around him is racist and just wants to see a young black man get killed.

Not all blacks do this, but the fact is a select amount throw the term racist around WAY too loosely. The race card is just pulled far too often.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I wouldn't say the originator is racist. The post reeks of anger about certain issues, but it doesn't mean the anger is directed toward minorities. He can just be sick and tired of the double standards.

He didn't come flat out and trash minorities. I think it would be ignorant to call the guy racist.

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

Way to cottoncherrypick, there.



It honestly doesn't matter whether you're racist or not, when you say such mind-numbingly stupid things.

lol, kike. Sorry, but I'm not even 1% jewish. I am 100% italian, so if you are going to call me anything call me a dago.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

In many parts in Philly, it's literally considered suicide for a white person to walk the streets at night. If you walk the streets and get shot, you are considered at fault for walking there, not the actual shooter.

But good neighborhoods like mine have a lot of minorities who aren't bad. There are plenty of blacks, hispanics, asians who I am friends with that live around me that wouldn't hurt anyone. Just good people.

To me, the bad neighborhoods are just corrupted with bad parenting, drugs, and bad influences. Young kids growing up not knowing right from wrong. It's a trickle down effect from parents being in jail for doing drugs, etc.

How ya doing, buddy?

Damn, this thread totally got out of control.

It's crazy how one subject can lead completely into another.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?
