Slate: You are a racist if you don't date other races

[Bush92]

It's racist the way this is used by young Black men to get in the pants of young White girls: "It's because I'm Black ain't it?" White girl does not want to look racist so she gives in. He gets her pregnant then ditches her. Young Black men like to have as many babies with White women as possible. It's a new status symbol. So no, it's not racist to refuse. It's smart.

Yes. Strictly speaking that is racist. The definition does not have to have negative connotations to be racist.

Strictly speaking, gays are sexist.

See how stupid your position is yet, or do I have to spell it out for you in smaller words?

Damned if I do, damned if I don't.

OkCupid and race: Is it racist to date only people of your own race?

Sort of related, I would contend that any woman of any color who would date a black man needs to be checked into a medical facility and put on suicide watch. I mean dating a black man almost IS suicide if you look at the stats.

Worked out well for her huh?

Worked out well for her huh?

According to FBI statistics a woman is

6X more likely to be raped by a male acquaintance
10X more likely to be assaulted acquaintance
8X more likely to be killed by a male acquaintance.

If that male acquaintance is black than if he is any other race

and according to the census bureau the child of a black man is 23X more likely to live apart from his father if the father is black.

If black women were smart, they would breed the black male out of existence.

Momma don't let your children grow up to be black men should be their national anthem.

Yes technically you are correct. Gays are sexist.

Don't let the racists tell you who you should date.

Date whomever you want

Haven't we been doing that since the 60's?

I mean for God's sake should we outlaw same race relationships?

I know of many black guys who tell white women they're racist if they won't date them.

Black guys use racism to guilt white women, I want white women to know you're not racist if you don't want to date blacks.

I believe a White woman who claims she did or would date a Black man to avoid being thought of as a racist is lying -- possibly to herself. Black men are reputed among White woman as having larger penises, greater sexual energy and stamina.

There were White women in the deep South during the slavery and Jim Crow eras who risked everything from social ostracism to murder for having sexual relations with Black men.

There's worst things to be than a 'racist.' Though, we'd hardly know it by reading rubbish like Slate.

No their not. It's pressure of socialist society and Black men play it to their advantage. They have no more "sexual energy or stamina" than anyone else. Is your post a joke?

That's right. Call me a liberal, sir, and I shall send my second to call upon your second and we shall settle your insult as men of honor have always done, with a duel.

 

[mrnicey]

Heh heh.

Welll, liberal policies seem to do alright in white countries...

 

[M.D. Rawlings]

You people are letting the negative connotations interfere with your understanding of the definition of racism. Whether or not it is morally wrong to only date your race or certain races is irrelevant. The defintion of racism is the belief that one or more races is inferior in some context.

For instance, even though I have nothing against the hispanic race in general, I still find black women more attractive than Hispanic women. That, by defintion, is racist.

Racial preference in terms of attraction = racism.

Fail.

 

[mrnicey]

Lol.

OkCupid and race: Is it racist to date only people of your own race?

If you consciously refuse to date people outside of your race that is by definition racist.

It doesn't get more complicated than that.

If you are going to go by "definition" then it doesn't qualify as racist. Racism involves trying to hold people down based on their race. It doesn't have anything to do with dating preferences. If a guy likes women with blonde hair or a woman prefers tall men with a dark complexion, that isn't racist. It is just what they prefer.

No racism is defined by finding one or more races inferior in some context. It is a very broad definition. Malice and contempt is not necessary criteria for the definition.

Finding one race more attractive than others isn't saying that one race is inferior to another.

Now, if a person said "hey ALL people of X color should find ALL people of Y color unattractive, then yes you might have a point.

Well I guess that includes members of EVERY race...Not just Caucasians....Which was where this fucking piece of shit thread was going.

That is the dumbest thing I've ever heard, well not really but pretty fucking close

If I have two white girls and I find one to be more attractive than the other, is that me being racist against whites? No? then case closed
