Racism!!!

Seriously,what's up with racists?

I'll never understand it.

It's an excess of a biologically perfectly normal phenomenon, namely a build-in fear of all things that don't occur frequently in your life.

The thing that gets me for instance is,some of them feel that they are doing Gods work by killing other,so called"lesser Races".

I posted this thread because i was on the train yesterday and these two old guys where complaining about how Australia is full of Asians now..etc etc.It got me thinking and i seriously don't understand it.I know it began with,other races arriving in countries and the locals where upset and worried they were going to lose their jobs.

Racism exists because the human race comprises of many morons who thrive upon their own pride; for the same reason, nationalism exists. It's all rather pointless to recognize anyone as anything more than a fellow human being, is it not?

No Comment!!!!!!

It has a point when that person wants to blow you up.

And that person making the same mistake that the other is in assuming they are better than them.

who wants to blow u up??

racism stared from the murdering of the native americans to bringing the african people to be slaved.

racism exists when someone calls an american whose ancestors are from africa an "african american". the only african americans here are people who were born in africa and moved here. the simple idea of putting african in front of the word keeps the problem going. a person of black skin born in america is an american not an african american, but an american. racism is horrible and will never be completely eliminated.

Reynols, I agree with you completely on the idea of calling someone black African American. What do you call them if they live in England? African English? Kidding?

I bet there is someone out there that wouldn't mind blowing up a white Christian American.

you shouldn't be prejudice towards Muslims because of extremists.

There's bad kinds from all races.

A white blue eyed Jesus is bigotry.

Some churches contain the most racists you'll ever meet.

Damn Mormons...

George Bush doesn't care about black people.

Neither does our Prime Minister.

He's actually passed a law that in Indigenous areas alcohol isn't allowed to be purchased,as though they can't handle it like us white people.

But on the flip side, that would mean less commercialism in indigenous areas, thus preserving it as an indigenous area. And that'd be great... Like America has any actual Native American's left?

But I know nothing of his platform, so I can't really comment.

you know what I don't get?

The NAACP wasting its time and resources, and its rep (its shoddy as it is) to defend a scumbag like Michael Vick.

Vick has the money and access to buy the best lawyers in the nation to save his ass. Plus, he's a famous athelete.

Thats two in his favor as it is.

I say to the NAACP, why not actually help lower/middle class black people that are actually being discriminated upon in the cities...you know, people who can't necessarily fight back against the system.

Vick is a big boy, he could have taken care of himself (except the Feds nailed him hard this side of Christ).

Vick is the guy from The Sheild, right?

I have a feeling that the humor/sarcasm in that statement will go over a lot of people's heads.

I didn't mean Muslims. I would consider you more of a bigot in this situation because the term Muslim or the religion of Islam was not brought up in this discussion. I said what I said because of what you said at the end about Christians being the most racist. So good job on being prejudiced.

Obviously i thought you were talking about Muslims.

Me a bigot eh? Okay that makes sense.I started this thread didn't i? You made a comment about other Human beings wanting to blow you up..or something like that.Maybe it was my fault for assuming,but don't call me a fucking bigot understand?

Oh yeah when the fuck did i say Christians are the most racist?

I'm a born again myself.

Calm down already.

I wouldn't accuse bigotry in this particular situation, because I thought Colletti was referencing the war as well. And why shouldn't I? I denounced nationalism, and he responded with that comment. It's just a misunderstanding. Nothing more.

But since when is Jesus not white? That's complete nonsense. Everyone knows that Jesus was the only white man in the middle east. Besides, who's ever heard of a Palestinian magician?

Don't worry. I apparently never had one to begin with.

Too real for this thread? Or not appropriate enough?

Holy shit, calling someone an African American isn't racism. Stop being preachy and learn what racism is. Most black people take pride in being called Afro-Americans. It's no different then saying I'm Italian American.

I always thought they would take offense to being called "Afro" Americans.It sounds heaps worse that "African" American.

And who exactly are you referring to when you say they?

Bigot!

By they i meant Americans.

Sure thing. Racist.

Well shit, the first time I ever head "Afro-American," it was by a black person using it with great pride.

But you'd probably assume "Afro" was there because of the hairstyle, right?

Racism blows. End of discussion.

Bogey has spoken.

Whoopdy f*ckin' doo.

Bogey's opinion is void considering it appears she has a Negro in her avatar.

First of all, its Hugo Chavez. Second of all, how would that make it void?

Racism is nothing more than a sense that your particular clan is better than others. It translates into opression, and it has been with us since the dawn of time, and I suspect will be with us as long as we are on the planet.

Right now we are seeing it in the so called "immigration debate."
Does anyone think that fat Lou Dobbs would be on the air every night spewing his hate if the people coming in were from Sweeden and not Mexico?

Back in the late 1800's the nativists did the same thing to the Irish, and later it was done to the Italians. As DC noted on a different thread about Giuliani, there is doubt that an Italian American would be elected president.

We are also seeing it on both sides of the so called Michaell Vick argument. White racists are giving this story its legs, and they cannot get enough of it, while black racists (many of whom were very quick to condemn the Duke LaCrosse team) are apologizing for him. The truth is Michael Vick is a lying scumbag who comes out of a dirty college football program, Virginia Tech (no insult intended regarding the tragedy there), whose younger brother is such a scumbag that he lost a chance to be a high draft pick in the NFL. I really don't get some of these "black leaders" defending the likes of Vick instead of using people like Vick's teamate Warrick Dunn and men like Tony Dungy and Lovey Smith as the role models they are.
