Everyone is a little bit racist, but it's for our own good. Our experiences dictate how we feel about certain groups of people. It's called a frame of reference and we apply it to everything in life. For example, it's raining outside; I don't want to get wet so I'll take an umbrella. You're discriminating against rain because you know it makes you wet.

I do not care what race you are
but this whole blacklivesmatter and tearing down cities nonsense has made me hate black culture.

Blacklivesmatter wasn't made to say that other lives didn't. It was made to say that because so many UNARMED African Americans are being killed for no reason without any consequence. So to them, they feel that they don't matter. What if a bunch of black people just decided to kill a bunch of whites without any consequence? That's literally what's happening in the police force but they're hiding behind the government.

Hating black culture? What does that have to do with anything? You hate their customs because of injustice? You don't stop something by being quiet about it. If it wasn't for MLK, Malcolm X, and many others blacks would still be enslaved. Let it be known that most insects don't bother you unless you bother them. That's exactly how humans work...most of the time. Racism wasn't started by african americans, that's all I'll say.

Squids > humans



My bet with The_Liquid_Laser: I think the Switch won't surpass the PS2 as the best selling system of all time. If it does, I'll play a game of a list that The_Liquid_Laser will provide, I will have to play it for 50 hours or complete it, whatever comes first.

Look, i don't consider myself racist, but certain things just happen.

For example, people of dark color don't have a pleasant smell to me. I don't know why but it just is. So, i treat them as i do everyone else, but i have trouble sticking around them for a long time.

I don't think thats racist, i can't really help it. Other races i don't have a problem with.

Other generalisations tend to be true, of course, with exceptions. If you see a group of a certain ethnicity with fame to do bad things in a group, chances are they will confirm those suspicions. But, that is a generalisation.

They can be of any race but what's the majority race that are muslims huh? Also no i mean Muslims  since Arabs and Muslims aren't the same thing.

Probably caucasian.

Wrong  South Asian, but my problem is with the brown skinned muslims from the middle east.

So by your logic watch out for Whites, Muslims and Blacks as they do alot of crime. Oh don't forget about Hispanics a they do alot of drug dealing and are rapists.

I'm not racist.
I'm black.
My best friend in kindergarten is white (we're still friends)
My best friend in the air force was Hispanic
My best friend in Atlanta was Chinese
My best friends as a cop were white, black, and Hispanic
My wife is white
My current set of friends are Indian, black, and white

Fuck Bangladesh, though. Those assholes.

As a Romanian I used to be a bit biased against gypsies, but that has changed over the years.

Let me just show you something

However BLM might of started off its message has become warped and twisted. Now they are just a hate group that takes any chance they can to rip up their own homes and local shops well they rob them. They spray hate about white people when the facts are more white people are killed by cops then black people, More black people kill more black people then any cop ever has.

All that BLM are doing is undoing years on years of work to remove racism and bring back hatred unto themselfs with nothing other then a shitty excuse of how Black Lives matter. Yes black lives matter and so does every other life. However why dont they protest to clean up their own streets?, Get the criminals out of their hoods?. Na you wont see them doing this..

That's crime, we want unarmed police force murders here. Of course because there are more whites in the US than blacks, the numbers will proportion out much differently. Notice that we didn't have a problem until UNARMED BLACK PEOPLE were being killed by ARMED POLICE OFFICERS. These stats don't add much to the conversation.

Actually, because there are more whites than blacks, the first two bars should be reversed.  But they're not, which means a black person is like literally about 100 times more likely to murder a white person than the reverse. That's crazy.  100X. 

That said, I don't really think race is a factor there. It's probably socioeconomic factors, gun control, and other things before race.
