oh… so you think you are owed something? From whom and who do you think would qualify?

This thread is all over the place. I think the person who said we distrust what we don’t know put it right.

For those of you who feel put upon, is it really EVERY WHITE PERSON or is it a select group?

Threads like this are such a tight rope and so much good and bad, but… it is good to hear it all and keep it in mind.

I don’t consider myself racist I sure hope not, but… who knows. Maybe I do inadvertent things. If so… is it a deliberate slight?

What is the suggestion to stop racism as opposed to just talking bout it? How about steps to stop it? Don’t just talk about the problem, talk about a solution.

So you know, my dad is a very white guy that grew up in Watts, which is a city in Los Angeles. Also, I hated when we went to visit relatives. Does that make me racist? Or does that mean I was treated poorly by the neighborhood when I had to walk to Auntie’s house?

Well white people did steal us from our land and used us as their mules, while white folks got 40 acres and a mule. Reparations from the government to prove past wrongs is overdue. I don’t even give a fuck if you are a racist, just be honest about it. There is nothing worse than someone who smiles to your face and calls you nigger behind your back. Straight up cowards.

Good God there is so much wrong with your paragraph that it isnt funny. [/quote]

Someone owes him an education.

Or did white folks take that from you to, method man?

[/quote]

Ha ha ha. I demand reparations from the government for enslaving my people too! This victimhood stuff is fun.

Holy shit! This guy has personally been raped, tortured, and separated from his family, mass killed THEN lynched! All that happens to one person? Give the man his money. He’s earned it.

This is coming from someone who calls Ali a “coward.” [/quote]

Yah… the guy who conveniently converted to Islam.

Hey… I am a fan of Elvis, Jim Thorpe, Frank Sinatra, Joe DiMaggio, and my DAD, who actually served in the military.

[/quote]

You military people seriously believe that going off to fight wars for rich people’s interests is honorable?
More power to you.
You know Elvis was peeling potatoes the entire time.
As well as the rest of those famous dudes that “served.”
Come off it.
They didn’t see any battle.

I respect Ali more for telling everybody to kick rocks over that shit rather than give in to popular opinion about it.
“Ohhhhhhh he’s a draft dodger! Ohhhhhhhhh you hate America!”
Fuck outta’ here.

Yes the workers must unite against the bourgeoisie and the capitalist robber barons then form ararcho-syndicates and redistribute the wealth right? I’m with you comrade.

If they want to.

What they certainly can do is refusing to do any rich mans bidding, unless of course the government forces them at gunpoint, which it kind of did in the Vietnam era.

That’s class warfare. Look at history to see it has many similarlities with ethnic/religious persecution. End result’s the same. Human beings getting murdered and robbed. Always degenerates into dictatorship too.

I couldn’t be bothered with this nonsense.

The only generalization made about white people was the comment that most of the truly hateful comments only seem to come from white people ON THIS BOARD. Not one person here made some sweeping generalization about all white people in the country.

That is why reading comprehension was mentioned so many times.
[/quote]

Stronghold quoted the generalizations back on page 8.

Yeah, so no need to mention reading comprehension again. I know that’s your “go to” response in every debate but you could save it for another thread this time.[/quote]

It doesn’t matter what Stronghold wrote. I am telling you that no one here made some sweeping generalization about all white people on the planet and some negative action…while someone did make a statement that the actions of a few black people stand for the actions of all black people.

DarkNinjaa made an observation about this forum that was true and got jumped for it.

[/quote]

And yet her you are making sweeping generalizations ?
Quite ironic really.

‘The only people make hateful and nasty comments are those whites’

UBELIEVABLE

Did anyone else catch that DarkNinjaa and ProfX changed their avatars at almost the exact same time?

Is it racist that I noticed that? [/quote]

Apparently so since any mention of any group of white people and their individual actions is now racist…but blatantly saying the actions of a few black people represent the rest of us on the planet not so much.

For the record, if what Ninjaa wrote is racist, then so is the comment, “Most players in the NBA seem to be black”.

You have to love how logic breaks down in threads like this.[/quote]

Maybe you are talking about a different comment, but I was joking about white players in the NBA. And the appropiate misquote would be “Pretty much all good NBA players are black”.

To be honest, I thought this thread COULD be funny from ALL sides (not just white and black), but I guess it won’t work.

Also, the discussion is going in cycles. “You said that all X are Y” “No, I said that X that have posted here are Y” “But in page 130 you said this” “But it was in answer of this” “But then you said that all X are Y”.

[/quote]

I wasn’t even talking about your post. I was making the comment that if any statement about any group of people and their race is now racist, then we can’t even have discussions anymore without offending someone.

I started that last Black History Month thread that went nearly all pages without this shit and it was funny. Everyone seemed to take it lightly. It is ONLY when someone jumps in with their “Oh, it’s all just a joke” shit with very racist comments that everyone else seems to ignore that turn into this.

It seems to be common place here for any black person who gets offended enough to say anything to then get jumped for it as if they are racist for noticing it.

That makes no sense.

This thread is now a prime example of that.

For years I got this crap and it only seems to be changing now because I am no longer seen as one of the only outspoken black people here.[/quote]

No, it makes no difference whether you are white or black, you write pretty offensively and would be attacked anyway.

Here in Japan, bi-racial kids are considered “half.” :-([/quote]

My son is “half,” and Japanese are fascinated by this. They honestly have no clue how offensive it is. I take every single opportunity to inform them of this, and let them know that he is one whole human being. Indeed, being that he is both American and Japanese, we’re all “half,” compared to him.

[/quote]

I do this too. It’s one of those things that just gets to me. I try to be nice, but I know I’m too direct sometimes. One good thing about my language capacities increasing is that I almost never get the “you just don’t understand the language” response anymore. Might I ask how you deal with it specifically? [/quote]

I specifically say that I don’t like that word, he is a whole human being, not half of one. I am very polite but also very direct and immediate about it which is my benefit as an American with good command of Japanese. It annoys me that he’s going to be called that as he gets older but I’ll be doing plenty of talking with him, too, and luckily, even at two years old, he is clearly very adaptable and resilient and I’m not too worried about him.

After more than 9 years here, I am still dumbfounded by the ignorance at certain things Japanese people believe and then actually even say about people who are “outsiders.” It is a supreme irony that in one of the “politest” societies in the world it would be okay for a woman to say, “I want to marry a gaijin so I can have a half baby.” WTF?

Hey Method Man what about all the land the whiteys stole from Mexicans should we give it back or pay them for reparations? What about the Spanish killing all the South Americans should Spain hand out money too all Mexicans.
Get over it homeboy. Also did you endure those crimes that you speak off? You might be a troll but your the prime example of what keeps racism alive. Your just looking for and easy way out. [/quote]

The man did steal from Mexicans and did them wrong too, but he just made their country smaller. Making someone’s country smaller is a lot less fucked up than systematic racism and slavery for 400 years.
[/quote]

Perhaps “killing whitey” would serve to ameliorate things for you a bit.

Hah.I’d put it closer to 98%. Actually I believe a disproportionate percentage of the black posters on T-Nation are actually Headhunter.

What the fuck is so funny about slavery reparations? We were forced to work and BUILD this country for NOTHING. Then a racist ass system of segregation was put into place. Then laws are passed that disproportionately lock up black males while white collar white criminals get to go to country club jails after Uncle Sam slaps their wrist.
[/quote]

Your words reek of a white man throwing out quotes that stereotype blacks… just like HeadHunter does here with his Clip11 character. You’re not black. You’re a white guy with racist tendencies. You’re too over-the-top while being inconsistent.

You’re not fooling me, whitey.
