Title: Racism
Post by: JSLink on May 06, 2008, 11:10:26 AM
If a white man calls a black man a Nigger he is frowned upon.

If a black man calls another black man a Nigger, it's normal.

Also, a true news story I saw on the news:

A white man gets cut off (reference to Driving.) by a black bus driver.

The man calls the bus driver Nigger.

The white man gets probation and a mental health evaluation.

If he called the bus driver a nigger after getting his head cut off he deserves an award.

I think people like Carlos mencia and Dave chappelle are the only
ones preaching to laugh about our diffrences not hate them.
as a German,I get called "kraut",As a White person I get called "cracker","honky","redneck" and other such offenses.
and yet white people seem to be the ONLY ones called racist.
I heard one the news once and this was also a true news story.
A black man said all the white people should be killed in america,Cause we're  bringing down the
economy,The amount of morals and apearently the cause of every thing else bad that
happens in america.And they said "He was just using freedom of speach",
But you CANNOT tell me if a white person said that kind of thing,That he would be let off as easy.
Whites are now becoming the new minority in america,Cause it's not ok for a white person to say the N word.
Yet every other race can make insults about white people.

No you may not.

Why aren't the Jews let off easy? Or the Native Americans? Hell there barely any of them left. You say that their integration into society has not been achieved because of people like "you". What kind of people are those? Because I can't help but notice how much black people often discriminate themselves.

Keep in mind that when they were slaves it was in Ancient Egypt well over 2000 years ago. The holocaust was also in Europe and the Nazi's today are generally hated and despised. While the Jews might have unwarranted hated directed at them because of Israel I don't see Jews getting oppressed much, if at all in the States.

I think racism is kept alive, ironically, by those who try as hard as they can not to be racist.

For example, take Super Bowl IV (40). It was the Chicago Bears vs. the Indianapolis Colts (I could be wrong about the super bowl number). They kept repeatedly saying that it was the first time two black coaches coached in the Super Bowl. I would never have noticed this.

If everyone wants equality, why do we keep noting on when a person of certain color/religion accomplishes something? If they really were trying to bring equality, they wouldn't make notes like this.

It's not a bad racism, it's just seems like attempts to try and make them equal.

That announcement wasn't an attempt to not to be racist.

Things like black history month are fucking retarded. They're honoring people for accomplishing things, because they're black. Basically, it's saying "Black people aren't as accomplished as white people so let's recognize whenever a black person accomplishes something". People still do that; if you're successful and you're black it's a big acheivement. But if you're a successful white, no matter what kind of troubles you've faced, people give less of a shit.

If it wasn't, then what is the point of announcing it? Why didn't they say it's both their first time to be head coaches in a Super Bowl (if it was), or some other accomplishment? It shows that they've accomplished someone as an individual, not as a part a certain race.

Since I'm not black, I guess I don't see things they way black people do.

You must have a very cynical personality to think that. Look, blacks are discriminated against on a significant scale. Some things that are being accomplished now they never had the chance since, well, now. (Obama anyone?) Whites as a whole aren't discriminated against. If you grow up in a poor area and go through tough times there you will be treated better when searching for colleges though. It really depends on what you're talking about specifically.

Yeah, they do face discrimination. But we exaggerate it quite a bit.

The best way to stop racism is to stop thinking of us as different races. We shouldn't say "Hey, this black guy acheived this and he's black!", we should say "Hey, this man acheived this!". We need to think of race the same way we think of hair color; it's an insignifigant physical feature.

We're not black, or white, or whatever, we're human. We need to act ourselves, not our race. It's pretty sad how many young blacks think they have to be a certain way because they're black, in example.

So, really. We'll stop racism when we stop having pride in our race, stop acting like racial stereotypes, stop judging someone based on race, and in general, stop noticing the insignifigance of race.

Ignoring races doesn't help when other willingfully don't. It only worsens the problems. It's important to face these issues head on so that people are made aware that racism is still a problem in America. While this isn't racism, there are school (private) and communities in America which believe that Jews have horns growing out the back of their head.

To ignore race would require most of us to be able to think "Yeah I'm of this descent, but that don't mean shit". If people keep having excessive pride in their race, things will be worse.

Racism against Hispanics gets some attention.

The reason blacks get a lot of attention in the media is because they have such a huge history with the United States. From being slaves to the civil rights era. Let's not forgot Obama is running for president as well ;)

Yeah, but how much blacks alive were slaves? Also, blacks under forty probably didn't have much trouble with discrimination laws. Guess who else has been a victim of racism in the United States?

-Early European immigrants (especially Irish)
-Catholics
-Jews
-Mormons
-Muslims (right now, even)
-Homosexuals
-Asians
-Hispanics

Every race has been hugely discriminated against at some point in history. Every race has been enslaved before. The word slave comes from slav, because slavs were once slaves. And if we're thinking America in general, black people aren't the only one who have had problems with racism.

To this day, racism is in decline. Not much people have been around (as in, old enough to understand what's going on) when their race was under massive discrimination in America. If we want to be equal, we need to forget about the fucking past.

Regardless of whether you were a slave it still effects you. To think that there isn't still a large amount of racism against them today is ridiculous. Look, there is racism of all kinds but none like the Blacks have faced in America.

Racism is still very alive. Please provide statistics that show it is in decline because I find that hard to believe. (I mean in the last 5 years) If my father couldn't get a house in a neighborhood because of it's race and I had to settle for a low-grade school in a bad neighborhood (this being before I was born) I would be effected.

I believe it is the Jews who say "Never Forget". You don't forget the past. There is no point in having a memory if you aren't going to use it to your advantage. Learn from the mistakes of your ancestors and fathers. Racism is still alive and to ignore it will only let it grow.

What I want to know is, if we want to achieve racial equality, why is there still segregation? Things like Black History Month or an Asian Awareness Club are unnecessary if we really want to believe that all races are equal. However, with events and clubs such as these, we're separating black and Asian accomplishments from accomplishments of other races.

And speaking of segregation, a lot of schools are still essentially segregated by the rift between lower income and mid-income students. People love to spew on about how schools are supposedly diverse now, but it's really a load of BS. At my school, most of the honors classes are entirely white, while the regular classes are mostly black and Hispanic.

Not inherently, though. That's part of the problem. The government isn't doing anything to help out blacks and Hispanics. They can learn, but they're not learning anything because our schools suck so much.

Then why are the other race groups in those very same school apparently learning?

Surely it has to be outside school factors, mainly one of cultural and family influences. Nothing we can really do about that.

Outside factors are the root cause, yes. Culture is a big thing: notice how Asians are generally high achieving as a result of the attitudes they imported from their former homelands. Still, the government needs to understand that they need to devise a new teaching system for low-achieving students if they want them to get a decent education. Of course, the government doesn't care about blacks or Hispanics.

Race has nothing to do with it. Some kids are just idiots and voluntarily decide not to try. Why should the government try to help those that don't want to help themselves?

Teachers are already trying so hard to get them to at least try to learn, but it just doesn't work because the main problem isn't the teachers or the school--it's the students. They just want the 65 so they can "get out of school" and work somewhere for minimum wage.

I think people like Carlos mencia and Dave chappelle are the only
ones preaching to laugh about our diffrences not hate them.
as a German,I get called "kraut",As a White person I get called "cracker","honky","redneck" and other such offenses.
and yet white people seem to be the ONLY ones called racist.
I heard one the news once and this was also a true news story.
A black man said all the white people should be killed in america,Cause we're  bringing down the
economy,The amount of morals and apearently the cause of every thing else bad that
happens in america.And they said "He was just using freedom of speach",
But you CANNOT tell me if a white person said that kind of thing,That he would be let off as easy.
Whites are now becoming the new minority in america,Cause it's not ok for a white person to say the N word.
Yet every other race can make insults about white people.


But wasn't the reason that Dave Chapelle stopped because he felt that his show was helping fuel the stereotypes and what not?

They're the same word, it just means something different depending on who says it and in the context of which they said it.

I get two definitions from the word "nigga". One is like a friend and the other is just calling someone nigga no matter what race. While "Nigger" is used to put down black people. My opinion about it Probably sounds confusing because I'm listening to music and it distracts me.  caterpie;
