^I’m going to answer your “Butt hurt” comment with this . I will never know how it feels to be compared to a group, the “Nazi’s” . Because I have no experience or background that conects me with them. So only you and people like yourself can truly understand how it feels.
I can only understand that being compared to a group who hate filled beliefs resulted in the almost genocide of an entire people in Europe must be fucked up.
So I don’t expect you to understand how fucked up that first video is. I mean on both sides the fool in front of the camera and the fools behind the camera and producers who green lighted the airing of it.
Trust Me I know most will never an can never understand.[/quote]
LOL. I’ve been saying the same shit for years but since it is usually only me or Big Boss with that voice on this forum, I usually get accused of “finding racism” since everyone else is apparently blind to the effects of in your face bias.[/quote]
I had the same reaction as four60 and was going to make a well laid out post but then I remembered that this is the internet. It’s unrealistic to think that a few words are actually going to open people’s eyes to the buffoonery that is so commonplace in today’s media.

Why not start somewhere? From what I’ve learned from this site, most of the dudes don’t even know any black people. Their entire view of culture or styles is based off of the same crap we are discussing now. This is why some jackass actually needs to be told that bleaching dred locks is a fucking bad idea…or that guys laughing at black dudes in the locker room for putting on lotion are retarded.
No one anywhere is comparing all white people to some stand up comedian’s look at “rednecks” yet they will leap forward to act like they are the same.
If you felt it enough to start writing, why didn’t you follow through until someone else spoke up?[/quote]
It’s funny you say that, I played volleyball in HS, my Sophomore Year a black family transferred into our shcool. I think they were the 3rd or 4th in my immediate grade range. Anyways, one of the kids who was a senior tried out for the Volleyball team. He was a bit of a nerd but overall a real nice guy. So he’s constantly putting lotion on like before and after practice and I’m like what are you some type of girl or something, my sister doesn’t go put that much lotion on. He laughed and told me if he didn’t put lotion on a couple times per day, especially over the winter that his skin would dry out and get much lighter like his brothers (who happened to be in my grade).
Now he didn’t yell at me for not knowing, he simply explained it to someone who had not had the experience of a man putting on lotion before. I gave him an AHHHHHHHHH, like ok I get it. and we wen’t out and crushed some volleyballs. Also I’m just sayin, kid didn’t even play sports, his uncle made him do this and he was instantly the highest jumper on the team.
It is possible to educate people on cultural differences without showing your anger at someones lack of knowledge. It’s not like people get to pick where they are born and who raises them in what environment. Yea, a 30 year old should have enough world experience to not hold too many predjudices, but I would much rather give anyone in the 13-22 range a free pass and educate them. Consequently, this seems to be a pretty large segment of this site, so there’s that.
