Racisim

[hycamguy07]

The other day I was talking to a man in his 70's, we was going on about racisim he & his black neighbor had gotten into an argument and the black male called the 70 year old white male a racist. He was flabber gasted, he went on about racial TV shows like Sanford and Son depicting white people as stupid, or the more modern shows of today that are primarily all black and no whities. He went on to say god help us if someone put out an all white magazine like the black magazine BET they too would get labled then he went on about race labels african americans, aussie american, canadian american, ect what happend to just plain American? I couldnt believe the guy and could hardly reply to him, As I could just let him vent. The two are still friends after thier argument kinda like little kids... But it got me thinking about the TV shows & the rest, what really defines racisim from black to white or other race to race.?

why are you surprised? every time a person of 'color' is critized or unfaily judged (be it legit or not) someone plays the race card. From the knucleheads on the LaCross team to the rep in Washington, they will use any excuse to ask to be judged differntly..it's our PC society and we are worse off to it...

Exactly. Only Whites can be racist and racism is defined as ANY criticism of minorities.

anyone can be classified as a racist no matter what their background. IMO if you dislike or treat someone differently exclusively because of their race/skin color, you're a racist.

I find it most revealing that the OP posted this message in another forum:

Yeah, ok, and Prius owners are generally viewed as likely to be homosexual earthy-crunchy liberals who use MAC's...

...sort of balances all out doesn't it?

Yup, total agreement!

Woe to the white guy who talks about "preserving his race"... Not that I'm personally into that sort of thing, but I see absolutely no racism in having a PREFERENCE.

We, of course, (well at least some of us) are "forced" to hide beneath this politically correct veneer...

I can actully say I see this alot in my proffession, Schmika's statment.

Everyone else can get away with saying stuff about other races, colors or creeds but watch out if your white and you give the slightest hint and they jump all over you...

There still seems to be alot of hate comming from lower income blacks oh sorry AA's directed towards whites of all income levels.. That what we see on the streets, although others may see a different light coming from people they just see in passing (rose colored glasses). I have heard from some AA's that the white people owe the AA's something ,this hasn't changed since the 1800's.. Being on the streets OPENS your EYES to alot of things that most people just don't see....

Ahh and an idiot by any other name is still an idiot.

I do not have to explain my other reply other than it was a list I had found on the net.

Thus the disclaimer: Im not sure of the truth in this list, but you decide...

Jump on the band wagon buddy, ever notice how fast the finger pointing starts because one person reads more into whats been typed?

10:1 says anyone who claims anyone here is a bigot (and you know who you are), walks to the other side of the street when they see a group of (insert race here) coming their way...

That's the only part of this I don't really agree with. I don't think you should be *forced* to like anything.

To me, it's when you take some sort of REAL action against someone based on race, color, creed, yada, yada, yada....
