"I Have Black/White/Hispanic/Asian Friends"

[Gracie]

I never understood the bullshit surrounding "I have black/asian/mexican/gay friends" and it supposedly being racist to say it. Fuck that shit.

So..with that said...I have black, asian, mexican, gay friends. All are sane. All are decent people. And they became friends because I didn't look at their skin hue or who they fucked for sexual purposes.

And those that have issue with me saying that? Fuck you. No vaseline either. BURN baby.

 

[Gracie]

White people don't like Sue.

People don't like Sue.

Clarified.

Oh, there are many that like Sue.

 

[Taz]

I have some friends that are chinks, beaners and jungle bunnies. No faggots though.

 

[gtopa1]

It is said this is not a defense against racism.

I reject that. In most cases, if you have true friends of other races, you're not racist. And don't let anyone tell you differently.

For a certain set, there IS no defense against racism. You are racist. You are racist even if you don't THINK you're racist. You are racist even if you are white and married a black man and freely chose to make your children with this man. For that set, you are white and racist and there is no escaping it.

Reject this garbage.

If you TRULY have friendships with people of different races and beliefs, than what better evidence is there for you being what Leftists used to value: tolerant, diverse and loving? If you share their struggles and listen to their stories and invite them into your homes and share their lives and seek to understand them, as friends do, and you love and value them as complete individuals, including their race, how can you possibly be racist?

But of course that's not good enough now. If you have friendships with people of different values and beliefs, you must also be Down For Their Struggle. And maybe not just THEIR struggle, meaning them as individuals, but every race struggle the Powers That Be want to impose on them. IOW, you are not just you and your friend is not just your friend. But you are White and your friend is Black and that must be overlaid with all the meaning THEY want to lay on it.

Check your heart. And if it doesn't describe you, reject it. Then maybe we can finally move forward.

If you're not a racist you don't think of them as "your black friend" or "your Asian friend".

Also soundly and roundly and laughingly rejected.

No.

The Left has taught us to view EVERYTHING through race and then smacks our hands and scolds us when we do. That's ridiculous and I'm laughing at it, because it's the best possible response.

Guess what? I didn't used to think "my gay friend" and "my black friend" until I had to think about it because of Identity Politics poison, because I had to defend myself against the Left whining about "Racist" because I vote Republican.

So really.

Don't feed me that line and expect me not to laugh.

You may laugh all you want. It doesn't change how right I am.

WRONG!!!!! The left has pushed the labels on to many who IDENTIFY as persons in those groups. It is a nonsense but they have become labels that the left uses. Now you want it both ways; if we accept the use of the labels we're racist; if we don't we're STILL racist because we don't recognise disadvantaged groups. I have one word for anyone who is a Citizen of the US.

So you don't talk about Disadvantaged Blacks? How KKKlan of you. lol

Greg

That's a lot of words, to bad they don't actually say anything.

Pity you are having comprehension problems. lol You use labels and then they become "racist" if others use YOUR labels. That's just dumb.

Coward.

I don't think so, Correll. It was a thoughtful post until that cardboard cut out had to enter. The boogey man does not live under your bed or mine.

No, liberals sully their own bed. Lately, with Identity Politics. They soil their beds so fouly that they then must change names and, when they run out of arguments--which happens a lot--they cry about the new name you're not using. Like "progressive".

Here's a hat tip: stop soiling your own bed. If you cannot, you have the wrong worldview, so get out, like I did. It's not that difficult, really. Twenty years for me and counting.

Where are you from? Your sentence structure is odd.

This is how you know they're losing.

They talk about your sentence structure.

I was asking a polite question because I am curious. You don't write as if English is your first language.

What does one expect; she's an American. Crikey; looks like you're one of them too!!! Only Sue's language structure is just peachy.

Nice post SweetSue. I believe that you are not a racist - IF this is true:

If you TRULY have friendships with people of different races and beliefs, than what better evidence is there for you being what Leftists used to value: tolerant, diverse and loving? If you share their struggles and listen to their stories and invite them into your homes and share their lives and seek to understand them, as friends do, and you love and value them as complete individuals, including their race, how can you possibly be racist?​

The problem is, that many people will say these things - but the reality is that they don't know ANY black or brown people very well, yet alone hang out with them and share what one might call an actual friendship as you describe. "I'm not a racist - some of my best friends are (fill in the blank)" is often an indication that someone just MIGHT be making it up.

Thank you for showing everyone that you're as dumb as a brick!!!

Greg

 

[gtopa1]

some of my best friends are sweet sue 92s

So you know a lot of hags?

You are also rejected. Move along and get over it.

Are you rejecting me because I'm white?

Nah; seems that your character is a tad...well..blighted. The barber shop needs a new door stop; you should apply.

Her syntax is decidedly not american.

Her diction and syntax are not vernacular American at all. Read her posts out loud, and you will hear the swing of the words; they are just a bit off balance now and then.

Very American idiomatic/as it is spoken/written. Informal as one would expect on a Message Board. She shows a deep understanding of America's version of English.

Well yeah, the old line was .. 'Why are white people afraid to discuss race' or as a Nation we are afraid to discuss race' Then if you do attempt to discuss it, it makes you a racist or intolerant... or your not allowed to talk about certain things without being reminded that .. Your White so.... dont talk about how I feel etc

Your White so.... dont talk about how I feel
Actually, that's pretty good advice for everyone, don't you think?
None of us have a right to lecture anyone else on what THEY are feeling. Stick to your own mind and then you will know what you are talking about.
Not meant personally, just the royal "you."

Telling people how they feel? that can be a common accusation even when your not doing it. It's th eproblem when you discuss racial things at times. But you know , recently we had a thread around here called Why do White people hate Malcom X...... is that telling people how they feel? Maybe, maybe not.... I know some will simply say its a matter of fact and if you offer up a different perspective, you get shut down. that doesnt make for good conversation on race

Yeah, it's quite obvious and easy to see but lookit all the other conservitards flocking to her defense.

That sounds like bullshit. You have anything to back that up?

Oh, a Godwin, Well that certainly makes you look like a reasonable person.


lol!!!!


Tell you what. YOu show me a picture of someone wearing a NAZI ARMBAND, (not on Halloween) and I'll believe you if you call them a nazi.


Otherwise, attack their argument, and not them, you intellectual coward.

George Lincoln Rockwell wasn't a Nazi either.

 

[Darkwind]

Well, not to be too crude about it, but I can't be a racist.

I've banged a woman from all 7 races so........


I wonder who will get this.....

 

[MaryL]

My best "friend'" isn't even HUMAN! She HATES squirrels! I don't get it. What the hell has a squirrel ever done to deserve such HATE? Besides the fact they destroyed the wiring and insulation and devastated and destroyed my trees...OH, OK.. When you realize who the victim IS and they aren't the poor little innocent victims,that changes everything.

If you're not a racist you don't think of them as "your black friend" or "your Asian friend".

Sure you do.

Same as you would think....my elderly friend or my friend from Texas

Not really no. I might think "I should call Jim" without thinking of him as either my black friend or my friend from the UK, but just as a friend I haven't spoken to in a while.

Depends on how you think of it. If you have a "black friend" slot that you must fill, and Jim fills it, then he really is your "black friend". Liberals accuse conservatives of doing this because it's really what THEY do--because Identity Politics is very important to them. So they project.

In reality, as you think about Jim, you might think: "work friend, loves to golf and eat Mexican food, gets carsick, mom died last year, and is black". We do this with everyone because we are human and that's how our brain works. Of course liberals had to make brain function bad by calling it "in grouping" and "out grouping".

It's not inherently bad; it's how we function. It's what you do with the categorizing that makes it pernicious.

He is one of many friends, some of which happen to be black. Others are white, or Hispanic like my last girlfriend. That isn't how I classify them.

The original point of the thread, the OP stating he/she couldn't be racist because he/she has a black friend or two. If you feel the need to say things like "I can't be racist, I have a black friend" you are probably a racist.

Fail, the OP has nothing to do with me. It's about Leftists using the old saw, "I have black/white/Asian" friends and mocking how that cancels nothing.

I say it cancels a lot, actually. No one can counter that. One poster tried but what he came up with was basically, "If you're white, you're racist". How many people want to go there with him, I wonder?

As to my word choices and "sentence structure": welcome to a vocabulary that stretches beyond the fourth grade.

The stereotype exists because people who claim that in defense of some stupid racist remark are understood to be lying about it.

In its modern iteration, it involves someone who wants to believe (and others to accept) that having this or that friend or even family member somehow means you CANNOT be racist. A related delusion is (and oh so many of these idiots believe it) that simply by being a self-professed liberal or member of the democrat party means you CANNOT be a racist no matter what you say or do.

There is truth to this, and this is why in the OP I was careful to outline that the friends from different races be true friends.

I'm know racists say racists things and then lie about having friends from that race. And maybe it even happens that occasionally they actually do, because humans have an ability to compartmentalize.

But in this day and age, there is no defense against racism that counts. You can even say "I'm white and my spouse is black" and they will STILL count you as racist. It's ridiculous. The charge that was once sparingly and probably correctly applied (in the OP) is now a blanket condemnation. Your "black friend" is no defense and neither, amazingly, is your black spouse, your black children......

I mean here we are in 2018.
