Racist against....whites?

[Zersy]

I have dream that one day we will all not give a shit about words like ****** or honky or curry boy or ***** or what ever !

they should be obselete because just think if some ad campaign was made where a variety of people from different races were all greeting each other happily by saying racist names that way it would simply become meaningless.

e.g.

White man: Hey Nigga ! whats new ?
Black Man: yo honky ! na nothing just chilling , how about you ***** ?
*****: Sorry nigga and honky i'm the same just chilling.

Do we all have to talk like we're in a really lame gang movie?

It's ridiculous. What happened hapenned, but now everyone's equal. There shouldn't be freaking out over black racism, or not being politically correct, but there is over stereotyping of hillbillies. I don't like it one bit, and I know I'm basically holding a sign that says "FLAME PLEASE?!" In flashing bright letters, but there should be no freaking out over stereotyping of anyone. It's all in good fun.

exactly- as long as it is not meant to be directly offensive

eeny meeny miney mo cath a tigger by the toe... that song was sang during the 'white supremist' phase a certain word was changed althought it whites are ridiculed eveery day the only difference is we dont take as much offence because well we havnt gone through the same dedridation as the minorities we obama is the first what? we have a group of three leters after j that does what? i think that that has been milked sooo much tho its like 'hey darragh you white bastard' hey jerry you get a tan since i saw you last'.... the room goes quite and next thing i know im waking up on the floor with noone insulting me anymore because of my 'black' eye

but if a black man is racist to a white man its like "who gives a shit"

So? Who cares? Hell, if somebody calls me 'honky' or 'cracker' or 'whitey', I feel a surge of pride! "Yes I am!"

Ok, hoopyfrood, you need to drop this vendetta against me. At first, I could handle the arguments, because they had context. But now you're just contradicting everything I say! I offered a logical opinion, and you just threw it in my face. I admitted that my metaphor was too strong for the specific reason that people wouldn't quote me on it, yet you're just jumping on the opportunity to belittle my argument at every turn! It needs to stop before the mods get involved.

I'm pretty sure these forums don't grant you the right to be shielded from criticism.

There's a point when criticism devolves to petty nitpicking, And from the looks of your other posts, you seem to incite argument rather than rational debate. If you're not careful, you'll end up enraging many more forum goers with your contradictions. The point of this website is to share your views and debate them in a civilised manner, as well as for support and simply sharing your love of videogames. If you're willing, I'll happily stay out of your way as long as you stay out of mine. We're clearly not the most compatible people, so let's just agree to disagree and move on.

Racism? Like... 'white people can't rap or play basketball' racism? Oh yeah. That's the same as slavery.

Racism isnt the same as slavery, its associated with slavery but thats it like racism against Jews was mainly cause they where seen as always being rich.

 

[Winter Rat]

I'm not 100% on this, but my Common Sense superpower is tingling in the direction of this possibly having something to do with......SLAVERY?!?! You know, the fact that black people were owned and sold as chattel might have something to do with the hard feelings. Possibly.

Cut it out the pair of you, before I knock your heads together.

Racism of all forms is wrong. The thing is that when a black man is racist towards a white man, its insulting. When a white man is racist towards a black man, the black mans school gets underfunded, he is denied from a job he is qualified to do which would support his family, and there kids start getting treated as second class citizens. That's why people freak out more over white people being racist, because when they are racist its a lot easier for them to be discriminatory.

No way dude, Black people Have exclusive Schools, exclusive T.v Stations And shows.
If A white person is racist He'll go To court And apologise 80 times While he gets insulted Over the next few weeks, i've seen it happen a few times, On Tv And such

If a white guy is racist to a black guy the friggin news copter is on his ass, but if a black guy is racist to a white guy, some people congratulate them! I know white people are retarded! I am Irish and Welsh, the really white people, and I HATE white people. Even tho it was ALL white peoples fault for slavery, I think that African Americans should just stop playing that old card. Segregation in the 40s is slowly dying too. The only ones left alive from that are old grandparents. This is just my opinion.

The black slaves was definitely a form of racism...

My point was, is it in the same league? This apparent 'anti-white' slavery that I have never in my life encoutered.

[TheRightToArmBears]

I think we may have gotten a wee bit carried away with it in the past, if you know what I mean.

Yeah pretty much the last 400 years have been pro whitey, I can take a few words

This.

It's not an excuse though.

 

[frenchtoast1337]

tru dat. If african americans want to call us racist by acting on stereotypes, STOP ACTING LIKE A STEREOTYPES!

why is it a big deal if a white man is racist to a black man

but if a black man is racist to a white man its like "who gives a shit"

Usually the white man is in a position of power such that he can deny the black man something he needs or wants, where as the black man is rarely in the position where he can deny the white man what he needs or wants.

That is why there is so much fear over Obama's supposed racism. Finally a black man is in that position of power and some people are scared.

Racism is a big deal when people are punished for something they have no control over, like skin color, or circumstances of birth. I think it is because we can empathize more with some one who is discriminated against for their birth than choices they made. For example Hitler (Godwins law) is reviled for killing Jews, who were condemned for the situation of their birth. He also killed off a great many of his political opponents, but we don't care about them as much because they made the choice to get into politics and the choice to oppose Hitler.

I have always wanted to no that like a black guy can go up to any white person and call them a cracker or something but a white person is racist if he look at someone of diffrent color wrong.But idk its messed up I anyone who is racist should be shot.

 

[Indiscrimi]

Being a white victim of racial violence, I've thought about this, and here is what I have:

It's because white people are afraid that pointing out any negative quality in a black person will make them look racist. Not only that, but there has been so much cultural shame heaped up on white people about racism that we're even afraid of the word.

I think that this guy has the right idea:

But idk its messed up I anyone who is racist should be shot.

There's a stunningly daft indignant statement.

 

[Sightless Wisdom]

It's because of history that it works that way. That's it.
