Well, this is not going to be like any other topic i've posted earlier, but I have to get this off my chest. Yesterday I took some time out of my life to get to know my friends best friend on Facebook! So I started talking to this person, and after I added this person I send a pm and say "thanks for accepting my request!" and this person reply's " your Welcome. Np." So a few minutes later i'm just having a conversation with another friend of mine, and I notice the number of friends on my page has decreased. So then I type in the name of the person I just added, and I come to find out they deleted me. So I message the person for an explanation, and the conversation goes like this:Justin Martin July 25 at 10:25pmyou deleted me?? July 25 at 10:26pm Reportyea cause ur black. Justin Martin July 25 at 10:29pmUmm seriously? July 25 at 10:29pm ReportUmmm yeaaa. Justin Martin July 25 at 11:41pmLmao!! Ok, Whatever then! July 25 at 11:41pm Bye nigger. Justin Martin July 26 at 12:16amBye then!! I don't know what to make of this........ I don't know what I did to deserve to be called a "nigger" lol.......Btw I don't care if you guy's laugh, i'm kinda laughing as I write this because as you read in this conversation the ignorance in some people is still there. lol
s/he was honestly racist... at least s/he was honestin the other part of the world, black people could say the same about a white person, racism will never end as long as there are still races.
This is the way I see things. People will hate me for my race, my sex, my religion, my nationality, where I live, who I sleep or dont sleep with, because I eat meat, because I have guns, or any one of dozens of reasons and I really dont care. There are no thought police and you can't worry about changing the way a person thinks. But you now know this person and that s/he has racist beliefs. So you know to avoid this person in the future.Now... after saying that, if someone tries to hurt me, denies me a job or a place to live or violates any of my civil rights because of my race, sex, religion and so on. THEN we have a problem.
I was speaking for myself and about myself. I dont speak for other people. Nor am I "fine" with anyones civil rights being violated. neogoku50 was upset because some ignorant person unfriended him on facebook because of his race. I suppose you think that person should be locked away for hate crimes.

North Carolina is a beautiful state. Beaches, mountains, bears, beautiful countryside, great produce and there is a little winery near Kitty Hawk that has THE best semi sweet red I've ever tasted. And a really cool gift shop that sells all kinds of interesting things. Last time there I bought a pink cane with a flamingo head (all handcarved) for the handle. And Black Mountain mercenary training facility... ok there are some things I DONT like about the state. Ashville in the winter during an ice storm, trying to drive in Hickory and pine tree pollen in the spring.

It is basic human nature to be racist. The concept even crosses over to other species.I remember a story of a chicken with a patch of black feathers. When that chicken was put in with the rest of the flock, the others pecked at the black patch until the chicken was dead.And don't think that it would be best if all racists were gone.Edwin Hubble was a racist, but if it wasn't for him we wouldn't be where we are now in terms of cosmology and physics. Racism.....deal with it.

My grandad got all his ribs broken for being drunk just because he was black. Do you think a white man would get punched, kicked and slammed with batons for doing that?

A white man would get way below that.Racism is fucking horrible.
Buck up, son.It's not all love and peace, and "dude, you're cool wit me".We're still at a level of infancy as a species.Maybe we'll have time to advance, maybe we won't.But as for right now, we gotta adapt to our surroundings, no matter how unadvanced they are.Discrimination sucks...a lot. And "deal with it" could mean a lot of things.Accept the things you cannot change, have the courage to change the things you can, and develop the wisdom to know the difference.

What you should wonder is what it's like to have a lot of money and influence.I'm sure being white is easier, but it's not fantastic.
racism is everywhere, and it is not exclusively white vs black. just deal with it, the majority has power over the minority, same with religions
A Mexican, a Jew, and a colored guy go into a bar. The bartender looks up and says, Get the fuck out of here

how its like to be white...it would be just like any another race i guess...you can let ignorance feed your hatred...and fall victim to your environment...or...collect some piece of knowledge...get to know your history better...try to understand the how of the why...and ignore the anger and hatred your pride craves...past mistakes and old fears...you can learn a lot from em...
if a shop owner gives an extra discount to a customer just because s/he comes from the same background, eventhough it is not negative, but already racist... human naturally do that, we prefer something we can relate to.

Just because someone's personal beliefs are repugnant doesn't mean we have to discard good ideas and discoveries that aren't tainted by those ideas.
Dunno. I had no concept or even idea of what racism was until i turned 11. I was a blissfully happy little child with no care as to whether my friends were black white or purple with polkadots.Then i left primary school and was drilled every year in what it was, and why you shouldn't be one.I am less happy spending time with maori's now as a result.Asians and indians however i get along with fine.
I'm sorry but what the hell is a Maori?[Edit] Nevermind, Wikiattack.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M%C4%81ori
"Racism is the belief that the genetic factors which constitute race are a primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race.[1] Racism's effects are called "racial discrimination." In the case of institutional racism, certain racial groups may be denied rights or benefits, or receive preferential treatment." Basically, racism is just a way for a group of people in the same nationality denouncing another group of people just so they can feel better or more superior. As long as peole have different opinions and view points... no racism will never end.It might sound harsh but it's kinda true. We can either prevent it but we can't completely destroy racism... So either deal with the fact that theirs always going to be racism or make it so that their are less racists.
As long as people can make up their own decisions, racism won't end.I myself am good at making racial accents, mostly Indian, Chinese, Mexican and Arnold-Schwarzenegger-Land, but that's just for pure fun.
I don't know how this can be such a preoccupation with everyone. Much bigger problems in the world right now (but I guess those are more difficult to understand).

Just because someone's personal beliefs are repugnant doesn't mean we have to discard good ideas and discoveries that aren't tainted by those ideas.As for Hubble, yes....that's exactly what I said.As for racism...ok, don't deal with it. Just remember that you'll at least need a small window to let in a little sunlight. The Sun's vitamin D is essential.
Watch little children play together and you'll see children of all kinds playing together with a real joyous love of life, their innocence and unconditional acceptance of one another. It is a touching thing seeing them play together..observing life in it's truest, purest, most natural form; a form that has no bias. They simply see others as automatic friends, as if they subconsiously remember from sometime before. But then as children grow up they begin to become indoctrinated in their families beliefs as well as the views of others and sooner or later the concept of bigotry is introduced them. This trusted adult, stranger or playmate has therefore continued the cycle of hate either knowingly or by simply parroting something they had also heard elsewhere. With this act, the once propaganda free mind is now tainted by the very notion of bigotry, whether the child believes it or not. The damage has already been done and this seed of hatred and or pride stays with that person their whole life, and with that the first piece of one's innocence (the unconditional love) is lost, replaced with doubt, and the world becomes a little grayer.Bigotry in any form should be illegal and should be an arrestable offense. This wouldn't infringe on first amendment rights in any way.Everyone has the right to voice one's opinions, but to purposely try to hurt another person by telling them how much you hate (racial/derogatory slurs) them is unacceptable and that person should be charged with battery as well as disturbing the piece and should additionaly face civil charges of Defamation of Character and/or Slander.Shit, I mean come on.....it's 2010. How the hell could someone truely be a rasict and make it in modern society!? These people should have to also do community service in a poor neighborhood wearing a sign that says "I AM A BIGOT" sice they obviously have no problem telling people anyways.

They constantly tried to pair me with students who's parents trained their kids to hate others.I won't even get into how the only two friends I had there were an Asian a blonde (both girls).

Speaking of racism, I experienced some at work yesterday.I was servicing a black lady and her daughter at a meat & seafood counter. When I had wrapped the woman's fish, her cart was far away.So what did I do? I gently tossed the fish into the woman's cart.I realized how wrong this was the moment I did it. The woman flipped her shit (and rightfully so) and threatened to go to the manager. I apologized multiple times but they went unheard. The last thing she said to me was "If I were a different color, maybe I would have been treated better." She walked off before I could respond.Keep in mind that I am black as well.

The degrading and the joking.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MZKZkC8u3_c^The joking kindAnd then the degrading where you call somebody a Porch Monkey, Border Hopper, Moon Crickets, Gigaboo, Wetback, Rice Rocket, Nancy Boy, Dago, Nigga out of pure hatred and some other dumb shit.

Racism.I could think of loads of cheesy things to say about it, and why it is, what it is.But let's face it. Racism is just something built into your system. Maybe you don't realize it, maybe you're ashamed of it. But everybody has something they don't want to accept as it is.And maybe it's not just about people. Arguing someone out of being racist is like arguing someone into a different religion. You might believe it's right, but for all you know, you could both be wrong.Me, personally? I'm ashamed to admit that I felt white people were weak and useless for most of my childhood until I grew up and slapped myself in the face.

not to stop hope in God, but racism will only end when others can point out differences but not see or treat those differences as inferior.sure its somewhat disarming to make lite of racial slurs and the mentality of bigotry, but a disservice is done to the spirit of equality. give me another word in the english lexicon that carries the weight or sting or nigger. to stop personal racism; treat everyone as you would like to be treated in the reverse situation. i think that bigotry is one of the last sins of humanity that sucks the life out of our unity. who knows what mankind could achieve if they would only abandon the concept of inequality. PEACE.

no, no, only in treatment. socialism isn't bad at heart, but that good old humanity that allows one to presume higher status than another creeps in and you get communism.in short; we should all get our hands dirty."that's someone else's job" what's wrong with your hands. if you see a need; fill it. if you're able.racism is foolish and silly until it affects someone's freedom, or rights, or life. which still seems to happen even in this age of enlightenment.
socialist take over !So now in cuba, one of the few working socialist regimes they are goign to permit people to empoy other people, i wonder whether they will manage to do it in a socialist way or just screw up and go capitalist.
socialism will hinder human development, there are no need to be better than the other when in the end what we get is the same. and it is fair when the one with more effort earn more than the other, what I hate with today's situation is that ridiculous instant income for celebrity for just being celebrity without any prominent talent.... and how they spend it.I can understand the huge salary for profesional sport players since their career is short lived and they have abandoned their formal education during their youth.
QuoteI can understand the huge salary for profesional sport players since their career is short lived and they have abandoned their formal education during their youth.I don't. There are plenty of jobs that don't require a formal education that people can make a living and raise a small family off of, with only one parent working.The defense is pretty much that they can't maintain a ritzy or wasteful lifestyle on a much smaller 'average persons' salary, and obviously couldn't save or properly invest any money while playing their sport. They could also have a shit ton of money to spend going back to school and being properly educated in something after their sports career is over(even if it ends after one season) as very few sometimes do. But that's no fun, retirement at age 35-40 is good shit.I'm speaking of American pro-sports (american football, baseball, and basket ball in mind).Exactly right about celebrities though. It's pretty retarded.Quotegive me another word in the english lexicon that carries the weight or sting of nigger. "Hello."

Have, you seen restrooms in restaurants, schools, and public areas. Anyone who cleans those up in a daily bases should be payed millions
kicking ball, and make an important score is two different thing... as they have trained hard for their skill, there are many sport enthusiasts that play on weekend with friends, just for fun, while there are other people that do it as profession, playing 3x a week, with pressure, injury, dedication and not much fun . for the rest, I don't want to confront your illogical reasoning.

Before Lemaitre became busy imagining some silly fairytale of THEE primordial atom, Hubble was actually measuring it (as in the Big Bang aftermath).When are they gonna give this stupid idea up?The Big Bang is so goddamn stupid.nobody cares.On topic though, while i can't speak for world wide racism where people say "omg this person has dark skin, he must be this race, and as a result he MUST act this certain way", i will say that at least from what i've seen, online, in the real world (yes kiddies, there is a world outside your computer ), and in real situations, there's quite a bit of racism that's brought on by the very people who seem to oppose it.For example, i live in warren ohio, i live in the nice part of warren but it's still warren. There are black people, white people, a few mexican families, some greeks, but mostly white people. Now being in ohio, of course everyone assumes "lulz redneckz in ohio harhar". There are ALOT of black people here, alot. Now there are ones who go around with their pants down to their hamstrings, do-rags a blazin, walking around in huge oversized shirts or beaters that are 2 sizes too small for their 11 inch arms and bird chests. There's also those that wear suits for no reason, drive around with over priced cars that they probably never worked a day in their life for. Now you know what? I'd rather talk to 90% of them then the "proper white" people that i live around. People automatically assume something based on how people look, how they THINK they live or any other random chunk of bullshit.Don't judge anyone, of any race, until you actually know them. The issue comes from when there's people who just do their hardest to exemplify the stereotypes that are considered "racist". My theory on the matter is, if you don't want people being racist towards you, then don't fulfill the stereotypes.With that said, there's ignorant motherfuckers who are going to be racist no matter what, and again, alot of them do it behind their computer screens, just like the ones who talk shit constantly and say and do stupid shit on their computers. Take away that glass screen, and i guarantee you that 75% of the racism and shit talking would go away with it.CookDaXapper said, August 03, 2010, 04:12:44 am give me another word in the english lexicon that carries the weight or sting or nigger. there aren't many, however the fact remains that when someone constantly lets a word bother them, when a group of people insist that something is bad, then it is. It only hurts as much as you let it. There are NO black people on this forum, my state, basically alive today that are functioning members of society, that have ANY strings attached anymore to slavery. I really want people to stop bitching and whining about something that happened years and years ago that has had no bearing on their personal life. If you're in a shitty home and a shitty family, and you don't have a dad, it's got nothing to do with my great great great grandpa that might have sort of owned a slave possibly maybe, it has to do with the fact that your mom made a poor choice in her life by not finishing school, getting with a piece of trash that left her, and now she works the corner to be able to provide enough food for you to eat on a daily basis, or fill her own need for crack.The point is, and this applies to ANY race of people who have any sort of history like this, quit bitching about the past, and do something to fix the future. If i complained every day about the shit that happened to my own dad personally and how we had to end up as a result, i'd get no where in life, but as it stands i'm currently a personal trainer making more money than my father does, working as hard as possible so i don't end up with my wife and kids like he had to end up with us, because some asshole who was more concerned about his own pocket book decided to screw him over and my dad decided on keeping his morals and dignity then ripping people off. I had a poor ass childhood as a result, and i've worked for just about everything i own at this point and time. Does this mean i resent people of the past? Sure. Does it mean i let that resentment rule my life, despite it having a MUCH more direct effect on me then say, someone who's great great grandma might have been a slave for example, someone they've never met and never will have to live the life that woman had to live? Absofuckinglutely not.As far as religious racism goes, i will go on record of saying that once again, organized religion is the worst thing to happen to the world next to the birth of the atom bomb.On a plus note though, when the sun eventually explodes, whoever's around at that time will instantly stop being racist, because everyone's skin will be transparent...because it will have melted off
racism produces discrimination; which produces the oppressed, and oppressed persons behave as oppressed persons; with great difficulty the mind set can be overcome. "does the rope REALLY keep the elephant from making a break for it?"
but sometime those minority oppressed person turn to be more racist than the majority, they would remind and voice it all the time, while most of the other didn't even think about it, as the oppression actually might be caused by other social factors not related to racism at all.

Often times anymore, and i use black people as an example simply because it seems to be the most commonly brought up race. You have black supremacists who go out of their way to talk about how terrible the white race is, how we're trying to kill them at every turn, and how they need to kill us all before we kill them. Here's a good example:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xSuiSIWRn7sThese people have exactly the same effect on people as groups like the KKK for example, except the role is reversed. As was mentioned before, there's never going to be an end to racism in some form until there are no different races, and that is never ever going to happen.I wish everyone in the world would come down with a bad case of "Purple Skin Flu", that way we'd all look exactly the same.Anyways, the people in this video do NOTHING but exemplify the stereotypes directed towards black individuals, nothing to help remove that certain word that they claim to hate so much, nothing to make anyone think anything different. And the same can be said of any race, as there are people who do it in every race.
racism and bigotry are the root of these social factors. when you are alienated from bigotry, its effects can seem trivial but to those affected, its the framework for their thought processes, screwed up as it is. stereotypes are "pasted on" a particular group, but each group has a subgroup that would fall into the same "type". racism exists because those that are in the majority allow it to.you can't blame a cake for its icing or its shape, but that's exactly what is done on a daily basis; humanity's rationale is flawed; we try to justify our selfishness.oh there was a movie from my childhood about the "purple skinned people" the premise was this guy could "dream", and it would become reality. he tried to solve all of humanity's problems but eventually the world was devoid of "soul". (i would look it up but i'm tired.)(maybe tomorrow.) PEACE.you see; the internet IS cool, NOW it is tomorrow, the film is "THE LATHE of HEAVEN" again, PEACE.
