    Thinking racist thoughts makes you prejudiced.

    Acting on those thoughts makes you a racist.

    White people in America have absolutely no reason to be racist. No reason at all.
    Affirmative Action and the Rooney Rule are two reason to be.
  • Upper90
    Yeah, but that's not a reason to be racist.

    You can easily disagree with those things, and not be racist in the least.

    Why should I be a racist bc of the Rooney Rule? You are kidding me. The Rooney Rule is a farce anyways.

    How exactly do u act on a prejudiced thought? If I see a Muslim on a plane and think.."i wonder if he's gonna hijack it" .. that's a prejudiced thought.. but how would I act on that thought? So I'm not racist if I think that?
    I think that if you were to sneek up behind the Muslim and duct tape his arms,legs and head to his seat and put a pillow case over his head until the flight was over then you might be a racist.

    but per definition of racism, me thinking that makes me racist.. it has nothing to do with acting out on it.. which is what I'm trying to get Sage to see.

    That's actually not racist because different races can be Muslims, i.e. whites can be Muslims. That would be being prejudice against Muslims. It would be racist if you did it because they were an Arab.

    I asked this chick how work was today, and she came back with "It sucked." I asked her why, and she came back with "Because broke ass niggers."

    I wish I had a dime in my life for every time somebody said something blatantly racist to me and assumed I was okay with it because I'm white.

    Racism has moved from open air into more of a "Let me make sure who I'm talking to here" form. Ever hear a white guy bitching about why college basketball is better than pro basketball? It's cause there are too many black dudes in the NBA for his liking. You can take that to the bank.

    I'm not one of those Kumbaya types, but God damn. The word "nigger" is probably the most vile word in the English language. I hate even typing it--and I'm not even black.

    The whole concept of race that has been perpetuated in America is so fucked up, it's unbelievable. I wish people would stop living in ignorance and look at the history of the concept of race.

    I'm also sick of white people acting like they've been discriminated and use moronic terms such as "reverse racism." (Hey dipshit, there is just racism. Period). Being white has never cost anybody anything of significance.

    For example, when I went to Montana, my roommate was on the football team. It was a summer's eve, and we were outside barbecuing and listening to loud music. It was a group of predominately black dudes, but we were just hanging out and doing the damn thing like college kids do.

    All of a sudden, an SUV rolls up, and rolls down the windows. These middle aged women--and that's exactly what they were, middle aged white women, start screaming "FUCK YOU NIGGERS!!! GO BACK TO AFRICA!!! YOURE NOT WELCOME!!!!!! FUCK YOU NIGGERS!!!!!" and then they peeled off flipping the bird.

    Talk about an awkward moment as a white man.

    The point is, white folks, we need to settle down. Being white has never cost me anything in this world and it hasn't cost you anything either. I'd be willing to bet you've never experienced anything like that in your life.

    Never understood racism. Never understood people willing to stoop into such ignorance. SMH.
    Sage, its not just "white America" who needs to change. Do you think blacks don't discriminate? I've seen them pick on Puerto Ricans, Mexicans and other nationalities . I know some black people who consider Somalians the worst of the worst.
    From reading your post, it sounds like the only people you've seen discriminated against are black people. Get out of your little black and white world and go visit some other cultures in your city. You might be surprised what you find.

    hang_loose you pretty much hit the nail on the head. All races discriminate but are all races racist? That should be the underlying question. I am bi-racial Cuban and Black I grew up in a all black neighborhood. Do you think that blacks were discriminatory towards me? Hell yeah! Do you think that when me and my family went to Miami that the Latino's act the same as the blacks? Hell yeah! I think that racism nowadays is not like it used to be. Before it was because a particular race thought that they were superior than another race. Now it seems as if those that come off as racist feel as if they are inferior and therefore they lash out.
  • Swamp Fox
    We could argue about this for centuries...(which, by the way, we already have), and get absolutely nowhere. If racism could have been eliminated by legislative acts, it would have disappeared generations ago. It seems that we have always reserved to right to hate whoever we wish, and we don't give up those God Given rights easily.
  • rookie_j70
    Sage, have you ever heard of Affirmatvie Action? Guess not because Whites are victims of discrimination because of it. I'm a White male 22 year old college student, how come I don't get free college tuition for being White? The blacks get free college through the United Negro College Fund.

    It's February, Black History Month. What month is White History Month? oh yeah us Whites don't have one.

    Every year the blacks have the Million Man March in Washington D.C. and they talk about being proud of their heritage. Which I think is great, you should be proud of your heritage. But, if a million Whites got together and marched about being proud of their heritage, they would be chastized for being racist KKK members.

    Complete double standard.

    Sage got what he wanted--attention...and from reading many of his posts,this place is really all the kid has,so maybe it's not so bad that he received it--pretty sad,really.

    ^^^^

    Is it really? Is it advertised? Or is it just understood? When do we make "special time" to remember the white man's history?

    On to the topic of the thread. I'll admit that I am prejudice to some extent. In the forms of humor. I will be the first person to make, listen, or laugh at a racial, sexist, religious, anything type of joke. Does this make me a bad person? Is it okay because I am from Hispanic, White, and Native American Decent?


    Is it okay to be prejudice because as someone else said they are my personal thoughts?

    4.White trash

    I divide people into 4 groups when it comes to whites and blacks and i don't see anything wrong with my thinking but i am sure everyone will say i am a racist and i don't really care what you think because everyone on here has the same thoughts and has used racist comments toward people of a different race regardless of your own race but are woried about what society will think of them.

    where are you from???

    you need to get some new friends i can assure you that everyone doesnt make racist comments towards people of a different race. If you really wann show how stupid this sounds please explain the difference between a black person and a nigger...its one of my favorite conversations
  • vball10set
    ^^^ 3 is just another word for black trash-IMO...and for the record,I agree that not everyone makes racist comments,even though I'm ashamed to say that I have--and I'm not proud of it.

    Sage wrote: I asked some of my black friends this one day. Clearly, they're not official spokespeople for all black Americans, but, they said that they use it because it was a word that was used to devalue them, so they took it, and put an opposite meaning to it.

    Kind of like what NASCAR did with the term "redneck."

    I guess, it's just the history of the word and how it's used and meant to be used when white people (or anybody) use it against black people.
    Trust me, I have heard black people call one another "nigga" in more than enough scenarios to understand that they aren't using the word to put an opposite meaning to it.

    Stupidity and it's best.

    i agree with homefield....

    and to answer your question... the difference is... person A is white, works, contributes to society in a positive way. Person B is the same as person A only black. person C is white, doesn't work, sells drugs, beats there wife and kids, steals, thieves, has no respect for anyone and contributes to soiciety in a negitive way. Person D is the dame as person C only black....

    Person A= white
    Person B- black
    Person C= white trash
    Person D= Black Trash a.k.a. nigger

    same can be said for any race or creed in my eyes...

    time for your counter point

    Try walking from downtown Cleveland to east 150th on Euclid Ave at 11pm and see if you feel the same way. :s
