Racist against....whites?

[Anomynous 167]

Now that I spent the last post replying here is my actual opinion.

Before racism, please define "race". Is it something that makes people want to go fast? Is it a bread of something?
Maybe a race is a group of people that share the same traits. Like a family

If racism means the belief that certain "races" are better at others at particular things, then isn't Blizzard racist for giving trolls faster regeneration than tauren?
Or is racism the act of treating people differently because of thier genes?

If the later, then isn't it racist to take your daughter to school, and not the other kids who are strangers also might want a ride? Is it not racist to take care of your mother when she is sick or to help pay for her medicle bills when there are others that may need help with thier bills as well? How about protecting your brother or cousin from a bully and not taking as big of a notice when he/she picks another target?

Your blood is your race, your race is your family, your family is your clan, your clan is you home.
After all, the saying goes "Blood is thicker than water". People don't get angry when some one else spills thier water, but when blood is spilt, it is war

Racism: Believing one race inferior to another. That's all. You're typing alot but what are you SAYING?

Did you completely ignore my second two paragraphs?

I thought I had a pretty valid point, not even a flame?
To be racist, I believe, is to believe that all races are different. But, what I want to know is, how do you define a "race"?

If this is a joke, it is not funny. You actually sicken me. If you're only a child I do hope you eventually grow up and see the truth in things and how disgusting you are actually being.

Thier was ALOT that I quoted, and it's painful to read the text that's in the "Reply to Thread" box, because it was a huge wall of text.
Yes most of it was a joke, but I was also trying to be witty. With the muslim part, the fact that "muslim" means to submit that's why I said they were inferiour because of submission.
When I said "Hold on..." that was my own mistake, I forgot to finish that sentence. What I meant to say was that he said whites did horrible things to a list. In that list he mentioned latinoes which I thought was strange because shouldn't latinoes also be considered "white" other whise what he said was slack, since he went on "Middle easteners, Native Americans, Asians, Jews,". Why do the latino get thier own classification? Thier are more than one type of middle eastener, or native American (Which I shall ironically assume means spanish girl), Asian, and Jew. Since thier are Japs, Chinease, Vietnamease, Shiites, Turds (I forget what they are called) you get the picture.
The "Whites" in the case of Italians also enslaved Guals, Germans, and Frenchy French.(Yes I am aware of the redundancy). Euros also enslaved Slavs.

One more note. What's wrong with making a little joke?

 

[Smudge91]

To me, being racist towards a white person and being racists towards a black person. History should teach us that we are equal to everyone not oh give them some lea-way because of the past. We should learn from history not repeat it.

I take offense to that.
I am not equal to a muslim. Muslims are below us, and that's why they are called "muslims" (And especially the Taslim, who I feel sorry for because of the frequency of deaths they get for being persecuted by the other muslims)

i think we have a troll running about.
So how are muslims not equal to us exactly? They are human? Therefore have the same rights. Just because they believe in Islam doesn't make them any less equal to me.
Mus⋅lim.
?adjective
1. of or pertaining to the religion, law, or civilization of Islam.
?noun
2. an adherent of Islam.
3. Black Muslim.
I can't see anything about inequality there.
People like you offend me for being narrow minded idiots who can't see through propaganda and a few mean people and like to tar people from a whole religion with the same brush.
Did you know that catholics and protestants are still trying to rip each others throats out, so doesn't that mean that christians are unequal to you to.
My god i've actually wasted time arguing back.

You believe wrong. 'To be racist, I believe, is to be named Anomynous 167'
See what happens when we start blurring the meaning of words? Look up racism in a dictionary. What your talking about _IS_NOT_RACISM_.

 

[Valkyira]

Blonde isnt a race.....Its a hair colour?

I just fucking hate the scummy as Aussies who fuckin attack indians and asian people for no reason is FUCKED. One guy was so scared he ran onto the road and got hit by a car

I'm assuming your American? The USA have done worst things then Australia. How about going into a village in the Vietnam war and killing all their animals, burning down their houses, raping the women and brutally killing several. And look at the war now, they have nothing and we are attacking them for OIL not because of 911. 911 was an excuse to attack Iraq and Afghanistan because they have just as much oil as the USA, and good old Bush didn't want that. Before you go and criticize other nations, just think about your own.

 

[Ninonybox_v1legacy]

This whole thread is based on the fraudulent premise that it is actually socially acceptable for American non-whites to be racist.

It's not.

If you're a person with any kind of power, racist stuff is just as socially unacceptable as it is for a white person. Look at how much everyone scrutinized every comment made by Obama or Sotomayor for signs of racial bias, for example.

Americans just casually ignore racism when it comes from non-whites they perceive as powerless because, well, they think it doesn't matter because, y'know, they're powerless. Society is all about ignoring the powerless. (Now, individually powerless whites still get a wary eye because they have the numbers to be a dangerous mass movement.)

-- Alex

dude, thats not what my post is about at all. its about how someone thinks that just because my great ansestors owned slaves i should be punished.
kinda like its paybact or something.

CAN YOU PLEASE BRAKE DOWN MY RANT?
That's all I am asking, don't call me an idiot, just prove me wrong. Dick head, and I did look it up in the dictionary, you were right.

I went on a rant, that rant was the meat of that post, please tell me what IS SO *#$!ING WRONG WITH IT?

To me, being racist towards a white person and being racists towards a black person. History should teach us that we are equal to everyone not oh give them some lea-way because of the past. We should learn from history not repeat it.

I take offense to that.

My god i've actually wasted time arguing back.

The word Muslim comes from I think Arabic meaning to submit or "Taslim". And the way I see it, to be submissive makes you on a lower ranking than if you were arrogant(Like me).
BTW, protesting is not a religeon, it's a way of life, how dare you bag all the non catholic christians as protesters.

 

[Cpt_Oblivious]

Because we invented racism. Just look at the history of Rwanda to see how bad us whiteys are.

To me it's still racism and should be treated equally.

The holocaust in Rwanda was caused by their own people

The Belgians created the Hutu and Tutsi people. Before that they got along fine.

 

[Reaperman64]

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.

sorry for stealing this from a few pages back but....im pretty sure that that happeed quite a awhile ago and the majority of people today arent slaves! shoch horror

just rembered a scene from die hard 3 now sus things up perfectly if anyones seen it

 

[ChromeAlchemist]

blacks tend to use alot of the past that we were never involved in as an out of jail free card to do and say thing you wouldn't normally get away with

to all those smug blacks that do

get over it
n*gger is just as racists when you say it
resident evil is in NO WAY racist
don't preach about "how my people suffered" when you do your fucking shopping at m&s .. just because you're black it doesn't give you a better understanding of what they went through .. YOU WERE NOT ON THOSE BOATS!

Can I just go on record here and say that I think this is bull? Considering you're trying to say black people "tend" to use a lot of the past as a get out of jail free card, which would imply many black people do this, how many black people have you seen go up to a white person, call them names or do something bad to them, then try and say it's payback for slavery? How many? I'm going to be honest, if you even told me one I would think you were lying. And now, before I take apart the rest of your comment, I'll have to direct our eyes to Mr Nilcypher...

I've noticed that people keep mentioning slavery in their arguments, which implies that they believe that white people stopped being racist when they stopped owning slaves...

Interesting.

Very interesting indeed. And Mr P, who has something very interesting that you should read:

The character of slavery as it existed under colonialism was rather different from all that other stuff, though.

...

I think slavery's kind of a huge red herring in this thread anyway. Sigh.

-- Alex

Yet people keep going on about it. In fact, while we're off topic, five different people give me examples and instances they've personally had where a black person has used slavery as an excuse for their actions, or said that you as a white male, are responsible for the actions that transpired 200 odd years ago. For teh lulz.

dude, thats not what my post is about at all. its about how someone thinks that just because my great ansestors owned slaves i should be punished.
kinda like its paybact or something.

Including you.

Ahh I see, because the context of this thread only applies to the United States. Good save there Alex, I thought this thread might be broad enough to encourage a lack of such generalisations because racism varies between context(countries), but then thankfully you came in with authority to allow further flames by limiting the discussion to one societies racism. Bravo.

I'm going to go ahead and make an assumption that the majority of people posting slavery related posts are in fact American. While his statement shouldn't limit the amount of countries down to one, he's probably still addressing the majority.

Oh my days you really are an idiot. You don't know what a protestant is. Tut tut. Go to school and go to a lesson called history then go to the 16th Century and looks up something called the spanish inquisiton.
There are either catholics or protestants and protestants then fracture of into many groups.

Protestent isn't a protest. Protestent IS a religion. Even an American would know that!

 

[Soxafloppin]

Its like being sexist againts men, Impossible.

 

[Spacelord]

Racism against white people is accepted because, damnit, we deserve it.

 

[TheRundownRabbit]

You can be racist against white people
we define racism as the mental or physical abuse of a person because of their race.
And caucasian is a race
We just don't punish racism towards whites because of that damned affirmitive action

 

[Sigel]

Everyone has been horrible to everyone else. I hate to break it to you but not one race of people is innocent of some horrible act. Everyone has enslaved, persecuted, raped, and/or killed everyone else, white people are not the only ones who have done this. I personally think racism of any person is stupid, inane, and repulsive.

Edit-More Topic Wise- I personally weary of "white guilt" and think the whole concept is stupid. I am a grandchild of immigrants whose relatives didn't even some to this country until sometime after 1910, and yet I have this stupid concept shoved down my throat.

That is precisely my problem, I feel he believes he is directing the conversation in the correct manner when he is infact hurtling it towards the wrong path. We should not head down the path of personal experiences, case studies or vindications; this thread was created with the purpose of discussing the issue of reverse racism or excuse racism. Rather than directing this thread towards commenting on the notion and its entailements I feel he is forcing the idea of proof. Why am I even trying, this thread has so much mod all over it if I say more I will be immediately viewed as a menace of some sort. I'm not here to make enemies but I fail to see how his view of the issue and perceptions of the thread should be foreshadowing the discussion.

I do understand, but I do feel that the way this thread started was pretty wrong, it kind of started with the whole "Why is it when white people do this it's wrong, but when black people do it it's right?" and because of that, it pretty much started down the wrong path, it was far gone before Alex even started methinks. A discussion about "reverse racism" (which, IMO is racism in itself to try and say that racism only goes one way) could have had a much better opening statement, than simply pointing the finger and going from there, which opened up Pandora's box, so to speak (like these threads always do).

Either way, I think that while perhaps it wasn't entirely right for Alex to word it like that, considering the state of the thread as is, I think it's appropriate.

 

[Alex_P]

Dude, your post is a three-liner about how "who gives a shit" if a black man is racist towards whites. The first mention of slavery at all is from someone else. Your only mention of slavery is right here, in post 219, seven pages into the thread.

[Lord Thodin]

Well thats easy. Cause whites might be the minority in number, we arent the minority in power.

You're right -- answering the question in terms of America is restricting it. That's what the majority of the posts in the preceding pages are doing, too, though, by using the phrase "African Americans" or focusing on slavery. I was originally, y'know, responding to that.

Rather than directing this thread towards commenting on the notion and its entailements I feel he is forcing the idea of proof.

Where's the benefit in talking about a social issue on the basis of a set of misunderstandings?
