Racism

It actually takes at least 2 people to argue and fight about something.

Just a reminder.

Yea, i was. I'm not a fan of small talk and statements that take long to make a point. That goes for anyone.

In '05 i got into a shoving match (almost fist fight) -that they started- at a friend's birthday party with a stutterer, and his younger brother, cause i had excused myself in the middle of him telling me something cause 1, the guy couldn't get to his point, (that was beside the impediment, which made getting to his point even longer) -consider my not being a fan of shooting the shit if it's futile, anyway- and 2, my girlfriend had arrived and I wanted to say hi and show her in.

Moments later he stops dead in front of me, my girl behind me, and goes.."i was saying something to you... It was rude the way you left" I didn't feel like arguing, just wanted to have a good time, exchanged words became harsher, his bro stepped in and it became an unnecessary mess. Half of the food and some drinks on this table fell over due to the stutterer and someone else trying to break up the scuffle between us, his little bro fractured his wrist cause the 3 of us slipped on the floor, on him. The ambulance came, the party was cancelled. All over an misunderstanding.

And that's just one example. But I don't hate stutterers, as you claim.

Yes. You were totally faultless. As are all people who get into arguments.

FOTN and the fact that different races exist.

QUESTION: If you were to see two WHITE cops beating down a Black man, what word would come up first in your head?

QUESTION 2: If you were to see two BLACK cops beating down a white man, what word would come up first in your head?

police brutality in both cases

the fact that you think such a question is relevant shows much about your take on race.

It's exactly the same thing.

Cooperation?

If you sort through Jacope's babbling, his point was... many people would knee-jerk and label the "white cops" as racist and beating the black suspect due to racism. While the racism-knee-jerking wouldn't happen or happen as much if it were two "black cops" beating a white suspect.

But, what does cooperation have to do with anything? One suspect is going to cooperate, and the other is not?

Lack of cooperation? Ever thought of that. Plus, I should've been more sepcific. What if you just saw it out of nowhere. Usually I would think "What the hell happened?"

huh

That's part of the babble you have to look pasted, I think at least. I was more guessing what Jacope meant, as he made very little sense, as usual.

1. The word that would most likely come up in most peoples heads would be "racism" cause they're White.

2. The word/s that would most likely come up in most peoples heads would be "criminal caught and resisting arrest".

Whats great is that your use of "most people", which I assume is to try and out-group "racist feelings", is pretty explicit evidence for how you view the world, ie, divided into clear racial groups.

Blacks are pretty raciest from my experience.

Some Blacks would most likely be racist against you as a defense mechanism, because they automatically think you're racist by automatic default because you're White. But it's most likely not out of pure hate like it most likely be with Whites, but as a shield so they'd be able to deflect the inevitable sting of the offense racism dishes out.

As if saying:

"You're White, which means you're most likely racist. So "before" you offend me, I'm going to act like I don't like your skin color, as well. That way both of us will be hurt and that will lessen the weight of the sting because you're sharing the load of pain with me. Or maybe you'll be so offended that you won't even dish out any racist sentiment at all, resulting in my not receiving any painful sting, at all."

So it's not out of a purely irrational, deep seated, blood boiling hatered of skin color like it is the other way around. It's used as protection.

Y-you think most whites really hate blacks passionately and irrationally?

Really?

Isn't that a pretty unfair generalization?

No. I don't think most Whites really hate blacks passionately and irrationally, as far as I know. In fact, and unfortunately, we'll never know cause this type of sentiment is so profoundly hidden that it's almost or just about impossible to detect. That's why discrimination is so hard to prove. A white person can just easily chant "no, I'm not racist" even though the person may be of the purest breed of racist and there's nothing that can be done about it cause there's no way to prove it 100% cause it's so skillfully hidden. Sometimes it comes out in the form of a joke/slight or in attitude but that's as far as it'll get in public. And it's crazy cause being that way is just enough not to be called a racist. That's how it's skillfully hidden.
