Is This Racist?

KKK Billboard Causes Stir - Ozarksfirst

 

[Coloradomtnman]

If you're proud of your heritage, you're not racist. If you're proud of your race, you're not racist (weird, but not racist). If you're ethnocentric, you're not racist (just narrow-minded). If you're all of those and think a race or races other than yours are inferior and should be treated in a manner that is less respectful, less dignified, unequally or unfairly, then you're a racist.

This sign, without context, is not racist. Knowing the context, that the KKK is behind it, makes it racist.

If a member of the KKK performed CPR on you following a heart attack, would that make it a racist resuscitation?

Wow, I dont know. What is the KKK? And what are they all about? I wish I knew because not knowing their history makes it so hard to judge if this is indeed racist

False analogy.

Pure nonsense

So the KKK isn't a racist organization responsible for crimes against minorities and acts of terrorism?

Not the question in the op

Maybe they're just typical white people

The KKK are typical white people?

The question was "Is this sign racist"?

Because the KKK is responsible for the message on this billboard, the answer is: Yes, it's racist. By knowing the context and reading between the lines, the sign is code for "black people are inferior, etc.".

Were it some weird white people who are proud of their race who paid for the sign, and they had no problems with other races, then, no, the sign wouldn't be racist.

Why use the qualifier "recent" in your question?

Situation ethics are always a liberal mainstay

The sign, not the author was the question. But, hey, That's just how white folks will do you

 

[ClosedCaption]

The Sign wouldn't exist without an author

The sign was what I was talking about. It's message doesn't exist in a vacuum. Context is a part of the message. Does the Bible's message have the same meaning without it's context?

 

[irosie91]

Language is a means of communication------it is that which it communicates-------the fucking sign is racist

 

[DGS49]

The current cultural meaning of "racist" is the assumption that all people of a given racial background have behavioral, intellectual, physical, and/or moral traits in common - just because of their racial background.

To describe "white people" (presumably European Caucasians) as "your" people obviously presumes that "white people" have traits in common that non-"white people" do not have. Thus, the sign is "racist."

True. So?

“workers who pick our fruit and make our beds.”

never mind blacks for killed more white people in the past two years than the KKK has killed blacks in their entire history.

in addition it is waaaaay more likely that a black will be killed by another black than the KKK

I never hear of any KKK activity, since you live over the pond you should hear the truth from someone that knows the score

then Eric Holder is a racist and so is the NAACP
