i live in tennesee and a lot of ppl dont like black ppl ! theres a few in my school and ppl are always picking on them. one of them is my fried i don't no why ppl hav to be so racist in my town.
Hmm a lot of people are racist in the town I live in, but I just ignore them because they are idiots.
Racism is a sign of weekness, they are not comfortable in their own skin so they have to pick on someone elses to make them feel better. Have you ever met a happy racist? I'm not talking about the fake smile happy on the surface kind of happiness. I mean a genuinely happy inside and out racist. They don't exist. They are miserable. Its sad, i feel sorry for them.
i think its posible to be a hapy racist ....arnt they happy to burn crosses n lynch people .....and one could be totaly accepting of all others and sad about something .....
A happy person does not go out of their way to inflick pain upon others. Someone that gets enjoyment out of the hurting and suffering of others is NOT happy. ITs anything but happy.
thats your re definition of happy ......i know that sadists are quite happy inflicting pain .....you may call them sociopaths and be glad your not one of them ...personaly im sad cause all the sadiosts are only to happy to be prison guards n judges n shit .....id be happy if all athoritarians were dead ....i think you use the word happy to replace kind or empathetic .....its a point of language , im not disagreeing with the spirit of your post .
And maybe you are stating your re definition of happy. Yes sadists do get joy out of inflicting pain, but that does not make them happy. Happiness can not be achieved from one act. Sure a sadist may get gratification from the physical or mental pain he causes, but then what? What else does he have? He feels empty or lost until he finds his next victim. A euphoric feeling that can only be achieved through the pain of others does not make him "happy". It makes him mentally ill. I do share your resentment for authority, and wish that we could do away with most but not all of authority figures.
Back on topic...I lived in Tennessee, and now Mississippi...the enitre south has areas where racism is more prevalent than others. I've made it a point in my life to not behave in any of the stereotypical ways that a person with preconceived notions of how black people act would expect. I still hate it when people say I 'talk white'...WTF? How do you talk a skin color? It's only recently here that there was a cross burning incedent in Mississippi. It's a sad commentary on human nature that we're into the 21st century and people still think skin color matters. There's good and bad people of every color. Bear in mind, racism is a learned response, not something we're naturally born with. Racism is more like a disease, that free thinkers are immune to.
So true!! How we treat others is how we also feel about our selves. So they must feel really bad about them selves to treat others this way.
Ahhh fuck orf you fascist troll you make 4 posts here and start coming out with racism - why should anyone get sucked into your problem on such a political issue?
race isn't just skin color it's your cranial shape and facial features too. lets' face it, people on both ends of the political spectrum are racist. people are even racist against their own kind(self loathing). actually i've noticed a lot of anti white sentiment in popular culture and in the media. i notice the double standard when it comes to some saying white pride versus someone shouting brown pride, black power, gay pride. also i've noticed that the media is all about pointing out how the evil palestinians strap bombs to themselves and blow shit up. yet you rarely ever see Israelis cast in the same negative light. this is because the american media and government are pro zionist and zionism is definately a racist political doctrine. as far as black people go, the parts of their brains responsible for aggresive behavior(medulla oblongata) is more prominent in their brains than in the brains of those of other races. i know not all blacks are violent criminal types. violence and crime happens amongst us all and on behalf of us all. the problem here is far too often blacks and their liberal apologists tend to blame their upbringing for their fuck ups when they do fuck up. which is bullshit, because i've known many people who grew up poor (both black and white) and are pretty much poor and they never became bad eggs. the problem is NOBODY wants to accept responnsibility for their actions. regardless of any of this there is no such thing as equality. no equality of the races, the genders or the social classes. if this were true we'd all be identical in every aspect.
I honestly find this news shocking that in the 21st century 'Jim Crow' is alive & well in parts of the Deep South. People should look at the 1930's photos of Black men 'lynched' from a tree with white KKK types holding their children up & pointing at it like a 'fairground attraction'. In 1955 a Black Chicago boy named 'Emmett Till' returned to his grandparents in the deep south;wolf whisted at a white lady or something & ended up dead for this 'criminal act'. Here's Bob Dylan's song about Emmett Till: www.bobdylan.com/moderntimes/songs/emmetttill.htm l
yet at the same time his mother warned him about doing things like that. yeah it;'s fucked up he had to die like that, but he did know the mentality of these people. besides people here shouldn't put all this crap on white people's shoulders. everyone else is just as racist as whites are. that's why there are all black neighborhoods where it's not safe for white people to go into, especially after dark. africans were practicing slavery well before modern europeans arrived in africa. their own people sold and traded them to whoever decided to casually pass through. as a matter of fact slavery is still a thriving trade on the african continent.
I don't care for racism... I grew up with it, but I really don't let it affect me. The weird thing is I knew a black guy who supported the KKK... and here in Virginia people say there's a difference between (putting this in a hypothetical prospective) "black people" and people that are just niggers, you know... which is just a dumb person of any race. I suppose this is obvious to most people. Reminds me of American History X when that black guy in the prison said "you're the ******" to that skinhead.... I remember one time when I was really blazed, in class, in Hampton, VA, where I went to school, I said this guy looked like a skinhead (I have no clue what I was going on about) and all these people flipped out and were like "whaaaat...." ahah.. I feel bad for that, though. Anyway, I am a member of the Sons of Confederate veterans and just wanted to say that as I feel alot of people think everyone in the organization is some redneck re-enactor.
People are people accept the diversity in society. Everyone if provided with educational opportunities has to potential to offer something to society. We must change our viewpoints of black vs. white, gay vs. straight, male vs. female, nation vs. nation. When human kind finally realizes that all 5 billion of us share this blue ball called earth, we are one race, we all sprung from the same ancestor, we will finally evolve as a people. Skin color and all other physical attributes are a result of enviornmental factors. We are all one race, the human race.
thats the way i see it. what i see as fucked up is how a black person can walk around saying "black power", but if a white person went around say "white power" they would be shunned, beat up, etc.. It doesnt have much to do with your race, it has to do with your attitude and culture, and since most races have there own culture, other races arent going to like them because they are different then theirs...
Yes, there is and was African slavery and Plato's Republic was a utopian vision that included slavery. None of which is a excuse lynchings. Most lynchings were not as clearly motivated as the one you talk about. A black man would look "wrong" at a white woman and the Klan would go hang a few "boys" to teach them to keep in their place. It didn't matter that the "offender" wasn't lynched. They all look alike anyway, how can a decent white man be expected to lynch the right darkie? Back to the OP. What can you do? Keep being a good friend to your friend. Show each other that there are plenty of "them" that are decent people. There was a recent cross burning mentioned. I assume that there was a counter protest/vigil. Attendance would be a good thing. Act like a decent person to other people. And when the call goes out for decent people to show themselves, answer the call.
