its all about the way you present yourself and nothing to do with color imo ... if you wanna be harrassed then look and act the part and youll get it ... black, white, asian, whatever.

Neither did I. Neither did my parents. Neither did their parent's before them. Saying that things like Affirmative Action are to "make up" for what white people have historically done to minorities is a crock.

We often forget that Segregation lasted up until the 60s. Most of us weren't around back then (myself included) but we've go to realize that was only 40 years ago. 40 years ago, most of us wouldn't have went to school with minorities at all. In the grand scheme, thats not very long at all.

Programs like Affirmative Action are necessary for that reason. Once you young bucks(like I'm old and mature biggrin: ) get out into the real world and realize how "white" everything is, you'll start to understand more. When I was in High School, I was sooooo against Affirmative Action. But now that I've been in the job market for some time and made some real world observations, I think its fair.

but some (not all) try to dress like the gangs around...you can't expect not to be looked at.

funny thing is I don't even dress like i'm in a gang, but I was followed anyway, and that white guy I was talking about was someone that I saw steal something (he put a DVD in his pocket and i'm pretty sure he didn't pay for it) but the employee following didn't notice (or chose not to.) But the next time I was in the store I saw the same guy and he put something else in his pocket and I pointed him out to the employee and needless to say the guy got caught.

This is what I was trying to say. It was ONLY 40 years ago that Black people were being openly mistreated. The people that fought that, mostly black students.....(SNCC, etc) are only coming into their 60's now. They are the influence of the youth at the moment, and for the last few decades, so you can imagine what they think of society.....

[quote="CaP bUsTa":f2771]i agree but in my school its asians. Asian gangs go around beating up white people because they have nothing better to do. If you are white however, and even make eye contact they think your a racist fuck and then get their 40 friends after you. It's really sad but thats how it is, just a select few people who start the trouble. This is why there are so many people against our Immigration laws because of "increase in crime", which is totally untrue.[/quote:f2771] wth, are u sure ure not mistaken those asians with mexicans or something? Ive never heard( or seen or even though of) of asians beating up ppl in this country. I would never let an asian beat me down unless he knew karate or something.

[/quote:08875]

Yeah it's a doublt standard in your case, and that's BS. And your last comment shows how narrow-minded you are. Apparently you didn't read enough of it to understand I was blaming our cultural downfall on rap music. You apparently think that was racist. I assure you I have little racist qualities about me (nobody can be purely un-racist). I have black friends, and I even hang out with a few of them because they are cool, and some of them hang out with us. You assuming I'm a racist has no grounds, as you've never met me and don't know how I act.

Tripper has a point, it wasn't that long ago that we had segregation...I mean the Civil War (US) was over 140 years ago...and we still got Confederate hicks out there. It will take some time, but it will get better.

Duke_of_Ray · 06-11-2003, 10:49 AM

Racism is so stupid. Now if whites joke about Blacks, it like a death offense. I eman, if A white cop shoots a black guy its automatically bad, people like Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton are nothing but worthless bigot dummies who cant argue to save their lives. I was going to write and article at school about the true meaning of the Confederate Fkag for the newspaper, but the stupid teacher is such a spinelss coward that she was afraid to offend somebody in an all white,oh yea there are asians and mexicans, school, of 250 kids k-12. When I asked her who it would offend she said, It would offend her, ha what a stupid awnser. Even if there were Blacks I would still write it, becuase the way the CSA and the FLag is presented is that they where all racsist and that the North saved the black people from a life of slavery, how stupid. Racsists on any side are stupid, from the KKK to the Panthers there all idiots.

I feel more comfortable in a room full of White people, than I do in a room full of Black people.

Am I racist? No.

Gonzo · 06-11-2003, 03:39 PM

This is well documented.

And this issue is so fucking old hat. Wanna know why folks dont give a shit if we talk about whites; because as Innox pointed out, for hundreds of years WE were the brunt of the joke. And still are to an extent with homogonized black culture being produced by white Corporations. Its identity-assassination.

There will not be racial harmony in our time. The only way to achieve this is through the deaths of SEVERAL million people.

in peterborough blacks are rare. its not like we boot them out of the county if one wanders in its just their arent many, like in my school of 1200 their are 3 blacks. Out here the koreans are nice though. i work at a bulk store where all the koreans come into to buy their shit for their stores. most of the time its very hard to understand them but they are really nice, funny people. some you cant understand a thing they say all i say is "sorry but i cant undertsand what your saying" & they laugh & just walk around the store & point to the things they want. their really nice people the ones iv met.
