The Anti-Racism thread

  • sleeper
    This is a thread to discuss strategies for eliminating racism.

    My first idea is to stop making race the reason someone gets or doesn't get something. Once we stop referring to people as black/white/cuban/latino/hispanic/puerto rican/zimbabwe/Canada and realize that people are just people we won't have to deal with the idea of racism ever again.

    /thread

    Thoughts?

    First step: racist posters like sleeper should STFU.

    My second idea is to stop using racism as a weapon by calling people you disagree with racists.

    Step three: Repeal Affirmative action and the notion that diversity is good. Hire the best people and accept the best people to your school regardless of race.

    We've been thru this. You still have not shown one bit of evidence supporting your claim that Affirmative Action perpetuates racism. Right now, all you've done to this point is stated your opinion.

    I fully expect you to pull an LJ, asking for a link, not reading it, then demanding I provide a link that supports your side of the story.

    First step is for us pasty white people to stop declaring the end of racism.

    Right, its better to continue it. Oh noes, a minority didn't get a job, RACISM. Oh noes, a black person was arrested for breaking the law, RACISM. Oh noes, a minority had a 1.1 GPA in high school and didn't get accepted to Harvard, RACISM. Oh noes, someone that was white got shot by a black man, and the black man was arrested, RACISM.

    It's a joke, and a fraud of intellectually rationality.

    Speculation and conjecture only. I've read it before...a couple times actually.

    Typical. It's got about 30 articles and research embedded in the bibliography. There is a ton of evidence out there, keep your mind closed though, that works well.

    Yes, a few anecdotal examples are conclusive proof that racism is gone and any claims of racism are simply people trying to get something they don't deserve on merit.

    So says the white kid who was born on third base pretending he hit a triple.

    Ohhhh poor you sleeper. Is the black man holding you down?

    Fuck this "white people are the victims" shit. I assume you're a white male, which is the genetic equivalent of hitting the fucking jackpot. Take your winnings and shut the fuck up about it. You'll NEVER know what its like to be at a disadvantage every single place you go, so don't fucking act like its unfair to try to level the playing field.

    I'm certain sleepers current or past significant other is/was banging a black dude and his tirades are the result.

    Are you black?
  • sleeper
    People in this thread do not want to talk about fixing racism. I'd love to hear your ideas or links to your evidence backing up your claims. No no, can't do that, let's just attack sleeper.

    I never said white people are victims.

    I'd love to see how any rational human being defend Affirmative action as not being a racist policy.

    I'd like to get your thoughts on affirmative action. Do you agree with the law? Feel free to tell me to STFU and call me a racist. Whatever helps your argument.

    Racism will never end. As long as people believe they are owed something for what happend 150 years ago its not gonna end. As long as the news gives attention to these events like they do it will never end. People want attention whether it be from the news or people around them. This is just my opinion so let the attacks begin.

    There's only one way a black person would bang a past SO of mine, and you know damn well what it is.
  • Rotinaj
    What race are you then? and what are these disadvantages minorities encounter EVERY place they go?

    Well for one, they can't be president. Nor can they vote. And they can't go to college for free. And they can't get a job, nor can they afford a new iPhone every week. I just really feel bad for minorities, especially those in those born after the 1970's, its a shame slavery is holding them back; those times were tough.
