anyone here racist???

Im racist to racists.

 

I would like to know something:
Mainly asking 3 or 4 of the people that responded to this
thread on page 2. I don't know if you consider yourselves to
be hippies but the views that you expressed seemed a little
opposite to the views hippies. I guess you're very closeminded
and ignorant to judge and group people by skin color instead of
their mind.

Bullshit. A lot of it is based on fear, but not all of it. Cirrohsis


I agree with spacecadet. It is fear. It is hatred on the surface, but the hatred stems from fear, and could be eased by learning more about what one hates. The more you know about it, the less you will fear it, unless you are not open to what you learn, and have no desire to stop hating based on the above qualities.
There is only one race, if not I challenge anyone to try to draw the dividing lines, which is impossible, it is a gradual curve, with 6 billion varieties. Men and women are different and equal.
= pay 4 = work. I also feel that it is not possible to convince a hater that it is fear, cuz they feel attacked and think you are calling them chicken, which is not the case at all. We all fear what we don't know, some just deny the fear, and accept the hate. The bias is subtly taught from birth.
I am not gay, but I do not fear gays, so I would let my gay friends babysit, which many people I know would be horrified by, thinking the child will be brainwashed or worse. It is something I have seen often, which is the illogical, emotional, non-factual, belief that hetero people are less likely to abuse kids.
That is just another lie made up to spread hate and increase fear.

I think that the assumption is not as clear as you might think. I might dislike someone, but I can't imagine disliking a whole group of people becuz I cant see a quality that any of the groups we are discussing all share, that is any different from me. If I hear someone dislikes all....let's say 5th generation Canadian, Irish/Scottish males over 40, I see fear. Lack of knowledge. They are not seeing that all of the members of this description are all different, and all the same as any other group. A full range of personalities. There are gay people I know that I don't particularly care for, women that I cannot be around for long, men that I cannot listen to for long, etc. And the reverse, there are many I love dearly in all categories.
One race, one earth, one love....

Lemons are yellow, therefore everything yellow is a lemon.
socrates was gay, socrates was a man....therefore all men are gay.
these are examples of the type of conclusions that are not true.

 

you are very wise BlackGuardXIII...
much love to you

 

I find african americans to be the most racist people I have ever met. They can call caucasian people crackers and make fun of the way we act but if I ever got on tv and said "Haha did you ever notice all the chicken them niggers eat!!!" I would be all over the news as a racist. It doesnt matter when dave chappelle gets on tv and busts on whites though.

Its ok there is a united negro college fund but if I started one for caucasians would that be ok? Of course not I would be a racist!

African Americans need to get over it, they were slaves over a hundred years ago, its the 21st fucking century. They are still trying to get a free ride for everything just because of the color of their skin. Do you think barely any of them actually care what happened to those people when they were slaves? Of course not. All they care about is them fucking selves.

Im not a racist, I like a few african americans, although, the majority I do hate. It has nothing to do with their race, it has to do with who the hell they are. The majority of all blacks piss me off a great deal, theyre either acting like fucking monkeys destroying stuff or stealing. Once again I am not racist, Its a common fact most african americans are like this. Not all, but most. Anyone who denies this deserves to be kicked in the ass.

I have never met an african american that thinks they are not better than whites. I hate the fact african americans can call eachother ****** but when a white person says it, its horrible. Or if a black person gets in trouble its always because of their race. They also hate it when everything is directly pointed to them at first thought. Why the fuck do you think its pointed at you? When you read about someone who murdered someone its usually an african american or a hillbilly redneck who likes child porn.

Note, Im not using the word ****** as a way to degrade african americans. I never called them the name. I am not racist, you may call me one but I am not. I am not prejiduce to the african race. I have no problem with many africans. I have a lot of problems with the majority of them.

Anyone who denies any of this is simply stupid. Anyone who acts like this is not the way it is, is simply stupid. Mainly because it is not an opinion, it is a fact. You can observe it in any large city basicly where the majority of the population is black. Like my area for instance, its around 55 percent black.

 

So, Mushy, do you ask every black person if they are African before you dislike them? My hubby's friend is Jamaican, and my favourite Dr. is Tahitian.
Sounds like you watch too much TV, you're only 14, you haven't had enough time or experience for such a deep opinion. Either that or you have been listening to your parents, nothing like keeping racism in the family.

 

I agree, too young to have a clue. My ex is black, but because she grew up in BC, Canada, she is not 'black' sounding, if you know what I mean.

She was job hunting, and soon found out that many potential employers did find out if she was black before disliking her. On the phone, they'd be saying she practically has the job, perfect for it, all the right stuff. She'd meet them, and they would be shocked she is black, and their tone would reverse to the opposite.
In Seattle, she caught heck from everybody in the CD cuz she talks 'white'. Sometimes ya just cant win.

 

Mushy,



I don't think the African / American population are over reacting.

Even after Lincoln ablolished slavery in 1865, there was still a lot of hateful sentiment around. If we can still have a discussion about racism and have African Americans being the focal point of that conversation.. Then there is still damage.

The reason (I am told) that among themselves the word ****** is not offensive - is because it is a sign of something that their heritage has been through together. From Slavery, Linching, Segregation and decades of Alienation..

When a white person wants to "identify" with their black friends and blurts out "Nigga Please", it still calls to mind years of oppression that we as whites did not have to endure. We did not go through what they did. It was wrong, and by degrading their struggle by trumpeting a word that was used by us to degrade a whole race of people - Only re-enforces that that hateful agenda.

If you talk to a Jewish person who's family was killed in the concentration camps of WW 2, you are likely to find a very sensitive person to anti semitic conversation. Certain groups of people have every right to be overly sensitive. If you look at what they went through. Mostly by the hands of caucasians through history.. Look at the American indian, The holocaust, Slavery, The Japanese concentration camps of WW 2.. and now in some cases Islam.

It's impossible to "like" everybody. But whether or not I think you are an asshole or lazy, dishonest, tightwadded or stupid is going to rest on the content of your character - Not where you are in the racial spectrum.

 

So I am a Brazilian living in TX and I have to deal with racist people all the time.
When I arrived here I was only 15 yrs old and of course my English skills werent great and for that I had to take so much shit from everyone around me. After only 5 months of my arrival I had to sit in Geography class and listen to one of my classmates call me dumb b/c I did not understand what the teacher asked me. Everyone thought it was funny including the teacher. I immediately stood up and asked him if he spoke Portuguese? He said no. Spanish? No. Well, I do. Despite the fact I still got a little confused when people spoke fast (it was only fair considering the short time I had been exposed to the language), I could communicate in English very well, not to mention I learnt to speak Spanish fluently, and my grades were straight A's, better than most native speakers around me. No, Im not trying to pose as better than anyone b/c Im not. I just had to work twice as hard as most kids around me, b/c in addition to all the normal work everyone has to do in school, I still had a whole new language to learn (I spoke very little English when I was in Brazil) and not to mention all the stress I was going through, being away from my country, my culture, my friends, my family...
People tend to think of Hispanics being dumb and tacky, Africans being rude and violent, Asians being weird and crazy/terrorists, etc. It's all bullshit. Racism is sad, whether it is from a white to a hispanic, from a hispanic to a black, from a black to a white.. it doesn't matter, it's all wrong just the same.

 

You're young, you obviously have a lot of learning to do.
Much peace and love

 

You know who's racist? The white guy with no musical emotion, no ability to fight or admit the blacks are better fighters and will always be, no ability at any sport that doesn't involve ice, has a tiny penis, a chip on his shoulder, and who attended a black majority highschool, listened to some Robert Johnson records and destroyed them because he couldn't snap along to the rhythm, got beaten up by a few black dudes severely because of his attitude, lost in a game of basketball, moved on to football,... lost to a majority of 'brothas' at that, moved on to track, lost at that to a brotha from Kenya, finally went home and found his dixie "love of his life" mounting a black guy with a 12 inch penis, flipped out, got beaten senselessly again.

Oh man, no one understands my humor. Or is it the truth? Racist white boys, you know all too well.

 

I'm gonna save my time and effort because reading this post, I highly doubt you have the mental capacity to carry on a decent conversation with me

 

I'm not racist but I do tend to hate blacks, oh and magicalmushy you seem to be racist Mr. "I find blacks to be the most racist people" Before people start calling me a hypocrit let me explain. I am not racist I do not have "the belief that race accounts for differences in human character or ability and that a particular race is superior to others" and I do not have a "discrimination or prejudice based on race" I just find myself hating alot of black people but not all black people mostly just niggers (you know the ghetto ass niggas) and the ghetto black chicks

 

i like it and it speaks for itself

 

Awwww! How incredibly sweet... and completely and utterly unrealistic!

I don't know what this guy expected when asking "anyone here racist" on a forum mainly for hippies anyhow.

 

I think he was creating stumulae

 

well I don't know about him but I got things from it that I wouldn't have expected, I think it was better off never have been made
