Jeez, what could have once been an intelligent and thought provoking thread as turned around and scared me off. I don't feel comfortable coming here anymore.

It largely depends on how you define racist.
Arguably under one definition every person here is racist due to the coercive force of culture on ones subconscious mind.
Which is seen as part of what we call in the west the "White Privilege effect". (Because it benefits whites here.)
A good example is this in action are these tests.

If you follow the directions completely and act quickly... i think you'll be surprised at the results.
The best way to accidently comit racist actions is to think you aren't racist.

you shouldn't feel comfortable when the ugly comes out. That was the point of the thread to pull out the ugly in us no?

I'm sorry, but I don't see that as racism at all. It's more like a social issue in America. I actually know people who will have issues with black Americans but at the same time have absolutely no problems with blacks from the Carribian or from the UK. As for me, I do not judge by race, but I do find that I will be more cautious about people from certain towns, cities, or communities. This is because I've known enough people from particular areas to know that there is an entire culture of fucked up people from certain places. Also, your arguments about how whites have done more damage to the world than blacks have no meaning. Blacks have enslaved others and dealt with slave trade (it's how America got it's first generation of slaves). We've had oppressive black dictators, black war criminals, and mass genocides caused by blacks, as well as public shootings. Look at Rewanda. That's a perfect example. However, that to me is not a racial issue. It is a humanitary issue. All races are equally responsible for all human oppression. |
This^^^^^ There are actually people who think somehow only whites have ever perticipated in slavery and yet today there are virtually no white people involved in slavery. While currently many areas of Africa and the middle east routinely take slaves. Places like Sudan, Haiti, Pakistan even India. And it isn;t like those places just took it up recently. In perspective whites or more succintly Europeans actually participated in slavery for a relatively short time. I'm not justifying it at all but it is sad that somehow it is seen as something only white people are capable of. Only those with a very miopic world view could believe.

yes, but there's a considerable difference between anxiously admitting to having somewhat racist thoughts, and flat out saying one race is inferior or that you honestly think all black dudes are prone to violence or are dumber....huge difference.

| Mr Khan said: No. I've just been relatively isolated from other races for most of my life (white suburbia where you could count the number of non-white kids in my high school on two hands), so we often saw only the stereotypes of other races, absorbing minor racism (though a fair few in my HS were overt racists). College helped with that, given the high black population of Philadelphia, my trip to Japan, and my internship was a veritable rainbow of people: hispanic girl, black guy, asian girl, two white girls.
My college student body actually had a piss-poor diversity ratio. I think 9.1% of the entire student body was nonwhite. |
I knew one guy... it was hilarious. Everytime we'd go to his house he'd play the same damn two men in black songs from the men in black CD. Wouldn't stop, couldn't make him stop doing it. Was crazy. The theme song and the one with Snoop dog.
Anyway, my group of friends had a falling out with them because well, while we knew them forever... they were dicks... and had been forever but after a point it became too much.
2 months later, school starts back up. He's suddenly racist. Doesn't like Meticalica anymore because he thinks they ruined their music by working with a black guy. (Ja Rule). Like suddenly didn't like Jay Z at all.
Stupidist shit.
Then he and that group tried to rationalize that the reason a black guy was going to win prom King was because it would be "Hilarious." When in reality it was becaues he was the second most personable guy in school, the first having won Homecoming King, and you can only win one of those a year.

Yeah, I can see where you're coming from but there's nothing wrong with me liking women of all races, is there?
