to say only one race (whites) is more racist is bull. don't believe me? go to youtube and just look up a video containing an issue dealing with contraversy with any particular race. the racial comments you might read will come from all over. it's like avene q sings "everybodies a little bit racist"
people have stereotypes about other races. stereotypes exist for a reason. however it is up to our societ to be more progressive and break these boundries.
i'll admit at one time i thought blacks were all thugs. that was a while ago and because of some life changing experiences i've a different outlook. some of closest friends are black amoung other races. i still feel that stereotypes exsist and that people are still fullfilling such things but, i don't think it's because of race but rather what people make themselves believe.
FotN, you clearly implied in that post is genetic in white people.
lol w/e, I guess it's just a genetic thing with whites, i dunno..
thats very racist. until you take that back and see it for what it is, this thread may as well be renamed "The Official 'Poetic Justice' Thread".
and yes, that guy was a complete *******, im sure. im not trying to put you on his level. im just saying your a horrible ambassador to
your cause if you'll openly let a line like that slip and then go on to
preach love for all your fellow humans while trying to justify that 😬
Oh sh*t Fist, you from boston? A fellow bostonian! Anywayz where is this place? Myself and a few friends would love to check this place out. Yo if you ever want to train in martial art just in case sh*t really get outta hand, look up 'The Muay Thai Academy' located in Lynn. I'm one of the assistant trainer there!

If you won't say it, then I will. He's just as bad as the man that called him a ******. Probably worse, since he doesn't see himself as being a racist.
no, thats not fair. calling some a n****r to their face is just downright hateful. what FotN said was ignorant, but i think thats as far as it goes (hope).
A racist is a racist. He blatantly says that all whites are racists, and that doesn't make him hateful? If I said all blacks are criminals at heart, would that not make me a bad person? Would that make someone who just doesn't like blacks a worse person?
He's a racist, and just because he doesn't call us honkey or cracker to our faces doesn't make him any less of one.

no, he just seems really whiney. that logic is why people treat
michael richards like some ****ing criminal. just because someone
is ignorant doesnt mean you get to tag "hate" onto it by default, not
logically anyhow. thats a huge part of the problem in fact, the
whoring of the word "hate".

your words dont define you. that would be incredibly ignorant
to say on a forum. to yell it in someone's face as part of an
all-damning diatribe would certainly be different wouldnt it?
again, b/w thinking

i wouldnt presume to know any of that. what if the thought really never crossed his mind?
that wasnt a sidestep. thats reality. you seem to want me to point out an imaginary line where it becomes hate. how incredibly trite and silly you're being.
you're operating on flawed logic here and seem desperate to just stab at the thread creator. all i want to do is make him realise his hypocrisy.
to call him out on the same level as someone who unconscionably spews racial slurs (to his face no less) in public is really childish and spiteful...and counterproductive.

I don't think it's childish to say that he could be as racist as the white person who called him that name.
And besides, not everyone who dislikes a particular race or entity is out to kill it, most will just stay away.

Very much so, but the fact is we are all racist to a degree.
When we see a black man, we see a Black man.
When we see a person from the East we see Asians,
We don''t see people, if a man is walking
down the street he is only a man if he
has the same colour of skin as you,
otherwise he is a White Man, a Black Man.
I'm sure we all aspire to a time when a man
walking down the street is just a man
walking down the street, a time when
we dont even think about their skin colour.
But no, it wont happen. That is just how it is, how it will always be.

me neither. he very well might be. also might not be.
we cant tell that through his ignorant hypothesese on genetics in whites. all we can tell is that he's really ignorant. not sure we can directly conclude that he's some militant "kill whitey" racist though, can we?

you'll later be attacked by the e-morality hypocrite squad for
speaking the truth, but the truth needs to be spoken. though "we
dont see people" is poorly worded. i think you mean that we dont
see different people as being 'the same' as our peers.
