Racism is a myth~Alright, wait. I thought about just leaving it at that and never giving this topic a second thought. Though I'm gonna give a real response. First, let's just start with this: I'm black. I've seen and experienced racism. Though I will say that not as much as someone would have let's say 50+ years ago. Does racism exist? Of course it does. HOWEVER, it is significantly less present nowadays. For the most part, every person does have equal opportunity, you're right. There's been a huge amount of progress with stomping out racism. Though it does still exist, there's no denying that. That's as good as it gets for you. Maybe one day, if you live long enough to see that day, you can truly make that proclamation that racism is gone.Though today ain't that day bruh. I got white friends and have had relationships/intimacy with white women. Definitely something I couldn't have done, well at least not openly, if it were like 1920 or some shit. So in my book, that's definitely progress. Getting there, but not quite yet.

I don't want people to fear any sort of debates on this forum. However if you enter into one(especially if you started it) you'd better post in a decent manner. And if you feel a mob mentality inciting you to respond in such manners then I'll ask that you ignore them and focus on those trying to give you the smallest benefit of the doubt.Right now you're running on 1st impression. And you're not doing well. So focus and earn the right to make some snide remarks and seem holier than thou. As of now you're not doing a lot of favors for yourself.
i don't think so anymore JNP.to me now his posts are becoming more of a fact that he's becoming more deluded by his perspective in our responses.correct me if i'm wrong...
Dont know what started this but to deny racism exists is either willful ignorance or naivety either or your wrong if you think not just talk to people of minority im more than sure they've got a couple stories for you. My stance is racism isn't as one sided as its made to be people in general are racist and predjudice not just one race or towards one race but on the flip side there some genuinely cool and good people so its just a mixed bag which should be obvious at this point but hey thats my opinion and experience

Not worth trying to talk to him.
none of your posts in this thread have been of any use whatsoever. you're just baiting and addressed zero of what he has said while people like jnp are at least trying
Racism does exist, but in my opinion equality is bullshit. Nothing in this world is equal, if everything is special then nothing is. We are all unique in our own way but actually hating someone for being different is human nature. What really pisses me off, is when someone sees a racist they bash him and feel like they are righteous or something.They eventually turn to bullies to feel like they stand for something and it is sad that they don't see it *cough SJW cough*There is fine line here, we all have racist thoughts once in a while but expressing them to be hurtful is wrong. Also don't give me that freedom of speech crap. Yes you are free to say what you please but thinking you will be immune to the backlash is idiocy. Freedom isn't absolute you also need to respect other people's freedom.
We generally discuss ridiculous SJW stuff on this forum so I think we're well aware of going to the opposite extreme. Its always about finding a decent middle ground. A good example is the horse shoe theory. Extremism in pretty much anything isn't cool.
Xan said, August 11, 2015, 04:04:57 amYou're kinda skipping out on the part where very few people, if not zero, say time travel is real and tangible in this day and age.I could say Big Foot or the Loch Ness Monster, it's still a fallacy.For the last time, neither of us can see it, so we're on equal footing for arguing whether or not it's there. The point that I'm not allowed to say I don't believe it's there because I can't see it happening in front of me is just as bad as you all saying you believe it even though it's not there in front of you (regardless of how relentlessly you'll try to convince yourself that is is)It's really unfortunate that we couldn't have had an intellectual conversation. I've found that most replies (exempting JNP and Titiln, I'll even throw in a little credit for Shamrock and Thagr8test) have boiled down to completely disregarding the content of what I'm saying and instead going for the content of what I am. I don't agree that it's okay for them to tell me I'm the stupidest most racist degenerate piece of shit on the planet but I can't thrown in a little underhanded closing remark at the end because I'm the one with the unpopular opinion. Talk about prejudice. I'm sorry you guys can't see things differently and with the mentality going on here I won't be making any progress so it's time for me to cut my losses. Please don't take this as a cop out JNP (you and everybody else still will so I don't know why I'm bothering), those are the best points I've gotten yet and I really would like to address them in full but this has gone on for so much longer than I anticipated and it would take too much more time and effort than I signed up for to keep talking about it. Maybe later if you're still up to it. The main thing I've gotten out of this is that people in general still haven't reached a point where they can keep their feelings separate from their reasoning, hive minding is the best way to be accepted and feel good about yourself, and I'm worse than Hitler. I regret bringing it up at all but it was probably a great bonding experience for you all and you won't be forgetting it any time soon, that's for damn sure. And for that, I am unapologetic. Thanks for the experience guys, smile because it happened. Just saw last 2 comments, good note to leave it on Rah Rah. I wasn't expecting there to be no backlash though.regards-hjk
I'd laugh but personally I'm ashamed. I guess the lesson to be had is that educating about these matters is the best way?
