Why Do We Still Have Racists?

[Foxfyre]

I disagree. Among my family and associates are people of Italian, Spanish, Mexican, Irish, German, British, Scottish, French, Native American, and Asian descent (and probably others I didn't think of.) Many of these folks retain and celebrate their various cultural heritages and among them are people as different as night and day. But not one of them considers himself or herself inferior or superior to the others in any way, nobody feels entitled to any special attention or privilege based on their ethnicity, and there is no racism.

Well that is the exception and not the rule. These foreigners nowadays think we should cater towards them, instead of assimilating into our culture. If I take a trip to Russia, I'd expect to learn a few phrases in Russian, what I wouldn't expect is the Russians to learn English to coddle me, it doesn't work that way.

Racism is a taught and learned behavior.

Says the person who willfully swallows all that the media spoonfeeds him.

It does not have to be part of the American culture.

Diversity is an evil that should have never happened. Forced integration is just as wrong as segregation. People were literally forced to integrate at gunpoint. Back when my grandparents were coming up, in the 50s, if they were out late the only worries they had were if their father was gonna woop them for being late, but now OTOH, a kid must worry about being beat up, getting his salad tossed, kidnapped, or worse. During segregation, blacks only had fellow blacks to choose as victims, but now, thanks to liberal policies, every white man or woman in America is a potential victim to black or brown violence. And we all have multiculturalism to thank for this.

I disagree that my experience is the exception rather than the rule. I think most Americans are pretty much live and let live and prefer not to think about race at all but just live and work and play together without all the politically correct garbage to deal with.

I agree that forced diversity has more downsides than upsides. I disagree that blacks are more of a problem for whites than anything else. It is true that a disproportionate percentage of black people are committing crimes, but more than 90% of crimes committed by blacks are black on black crimes. It is criminal that so many black children are forced to live in that kind of environment, but nobody is going to change that environment until the people living in it choose to change it.

Racism and the ugliness surrounding it will continue, however, so long as there is profit or hope of profit in it. Remove that profit motive, and we'll get a lot closer to the colorblind society that should be everybody's goal.

I think you are pretty much right about that, but the fact that I think most Americans realize that something is very wrong with the world today, but have nobody to turn to to show them the way. I think you underestimate the media's powerful hold on people. They weild more power then any army, any President, or any Dictator. They can reach into every single household via television, at their choosing. Every single newspaper is owned or financed by a Jew, as are most radio stations. In the Jews' holy book, the Talmud, it asserts that Jews are superior to gentiles, and all gentiles must be destroyed. So the best way for Jews to implement that plan of attack is to integrate the white race. After all, what do you think is the expected result of all this immigration and integration?

I agree that forced diversity has more downsides than upsides.

Great. Forced integration is just as Unconstitutional as forced segregation.

I disagree that blacks are more of a problem for whites than anything else. It is true that a disproportionate percentage of black people are committing crimes, but more than 90% of crimes committed by blacks are black on black crimes. It is criminal that so many black children are forced to live in that kind of environment, but nobody is going to change that environment until the people living in it choose to change it.

Well blacks are a humnongous drain on our economy. They have taken in far more then they have given. I mean, Asians can come over on a boat and the next year they can be in colleges, off to a good start. What's the black excuse for their dysfunctional ways?

One of the problems, and you alluded to it, is the decent blacks move out of the ghettos and into white neighborhoods. Eventually, there is significant white flight, as whites do not want to be exposed to black culture. (40oz. thrown in lawn, howling at white women, etc). I've seen it multiple times, as minorities move in, there is white flight, and homes decrease in value. Whites need to start demanding that they live in only white communities. *Almost* everybody would be happier if they could only associate with people like themselves.

Racism and the ugliness surrounding it will continue, however, so long as there is profit or hope of profit in it. Remove that profit motive, and we'll get a lot closer to the colorblind society that should be everybody's goal.

I agree here. A huge step would be stop paying the race pimps like Jackson and Sharpton money to belittle whitey, and call them what they really are: Black Supremacists. Once blacks are put in their place, the white race talk will significantly decrease.

 

[Againsheila]

Againshelia, I am sorry if my words made it seem that I did not feel whites can suffer hurt from racism as well. Your story is terrible, and I am sad reading it.

Your brother-in-law is a fool not to allow his kids to spend time with you -- you are obviously a very loving person.

I think my sister is a fool for letting him get between her and her family.

 

[Againsheila]

Jackson and Sharpton are to the intelligent black community what Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson were to hundreds of millions of Christians who aren't part of the looney far Christian right. Yet it is guys like these that the media did and do put up as representative spokespersons for their 'group'.

No brotha, you got what you deserve now stop bitching about it.

*All* christians are "loony" you dumbass. Religion = Insanity. You can't be a sane schizophrenic.

I'm a Christian and I am neither "loony" nor a "dumbass".

We still have racism in the US. We need to have a dialogue about it.

The Tea Party disagrees.

 

[Againsheila]

Most blacks are racist and only a handful of whites are racist.

as long as we have non dues paying klansman like this tool we will have plenty racism.

I bet it's correlated to ones educational achievement, you know blame someone else

I think it's easier for a white to see racism in blacks and easier for a black to see racism in whites, for obvious reasons.

I've met a lot more racist blacks than whites, but then again, how would I know the whites are racist?

 

[Againsheila]

It's 2010. Most people have at least an eighth grade education. Why do we still have to suffer from racists?

Were these people dropped on their heads as infants?

Your question should be "Why do we have Diversity", since Diversity is the cause of racism!

I disagree. Among my family and associates are people of Italian, Spanish, Mexican, Irish, German, British, Scottish, French, Native American, and Asian descent (and probably others I didn't think of.) Many of these folks retain and celebrate their various cultural heritages and among them are people as different as night and day.

Bulcrap....no one forced my brother to marry his wife from Thailand. No one forced my sister to marry a black man. No one forced my cousin to marry a German. We enjoy the fact that our family is part of the "melting pot".

 

[kal-el]

No, it means you're curious. The media wants us to never, ever talk about race. It's trying to do our thinking for us.

We still have racism in the US. We need to have a dialogue about it.

Yes we do, and Barry Soetoro brings race up very often, especially when any whites are involved.

The Tea Party disagrees.

No the media disagrees. It would have us beleive that everything is 100% safe and honky dorey, when in reality, it clearly isn't. The media shows us a picture, and tells us what to think of that picture. The tea party does not have near the influence of the Zionist media.

And this is the most uniformed thing you've said yet.

The Tea Party is not racist, is not about racism, and HAS NO POSITION OF ANY KIND ON A DIALOGUE ABOUT RACISM, period. Okay?

You might as well say that Buddhists disagree that we need to have a dialogue about racism just because they are focused on other things.

I would very much appreciate it if you would back up your criticisms and diatribes and prejudicial statements about others with something of substance other than similar nonsense from looney leftwing "I hate anything right of center" sites.

 

[kal-el]

Of course not. All the "forcing" happened in the early days of integration and the Civil Rights era. The media took over from there, and eventually people got accomstomed to tolerating inter-racial relationships.

We enjoy the fact that our family is part of the "melting pot".

That's fine, to each his own. But know that you are part of the pro-white genocide then, ok?

How could you miss it? I would think it would be harder (without a foot in both worlds for a substantial period of time) to identify the subtleties of racism in a demographic other than your own.
It's kind of like like religion. Raised in ones own (or one's parent's) faith, its easier to pick out moral, practical, and philosophical discrepancies than to identify those of a faith you're not as familiar with.
I never understood the whole thing anyway on more than a surface level.
I know more white people, therefore more white people have had and taken the opportunity to fuck me over. I can't see how that experience diverges from most other white people my age.
BUT, let one or a few experiences with a different demographic (racial, religious, national) enter the picture, and all of a sudden THAT whole demographic is the root of all evil, while the majority of people who have fucked up most in one's life get a pass because they look similar. I honestly don't get it.

It's 2010. Most people have at least an eighth grade education. Why do we still have to suffer from racists?

Were these people dropped on their heads as infants?

Why do I get the feeling that the OP is a sort of wanna-be agent provacatuer?
I am probably wrong. The OP may just be a racist commie who is a mullatto supremacist.

It seems that the OP initially insists that "racists" are the greatest of all evils... However, since the OP later acknowledges that some forms of "racism" are OK (quoata's and such)...

Some people feel that any assistance/preference/quota/set-aside/etc. based on ethnicity is also racist. I'm not so sure; I think we still need to hold open the door for those to whom the door was closed for so long....but I would agree, that time is passing.

By the definition of the word "racism" racial quoatas are racist.
Racist - Definition and More from the Free Merriam-Webster Dictionary

Main Entry: rac·ism
1 : a belief that race is the primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race

So it is established that the OP has no qualms with racism, just as long as it is targeted at people she or the government determines to deserve it.

What excuse do they have, apart from the perceived loss of privileges they have not earned?

The OP does realize that she is using race as a primary determinant of such characteristics, right? Funny thing is that in the real world of tangible, measurable facts, 'white' people are not privileged in any way. Does the OP believe in the racist commie inspired mythology of "white privilege"?... probably.

Oh well,

I would agree with the notion that placing an individuals 'race' as a primary determinant of any characteristic is not the brightest thing to do. Though on an individual level, there is no real "suffering". If someone has personal opinions it causes no real harm (unless they are a violent psycopath, in which case it is their psychopathy that is the problem, not their personal opinions).

"Racism" only causes suffering when institutions become involved. Such as racial affirmative action quotas, and unqual protection by the law (hate crimes). That is when "racism" causes suffering. But, the OP doesn't have a problem if the government is racist, yet will call for violence against an individual who is. That is the behavior one could expect from a racist commie.

maybe if we drop the racists on their heads again?

Or again and again and again?

While it seems perfectly obvious that the OP is a racist commie, it is possible that I am missing something. So I will ask directly:

Madeline, are you a racist? Are you a communist/marxist/socialist/progressive/elitist?


To answer the OP's question:

Individuals are "racist" for many different reasons, it depends upon the individual. For some it might be because people have personal preferences for those who have biological similarities. In this case it is perfectly natural, though like many instincts, not always the most socially prudent. "Racism" is a social construct, the physical characteristics that determine 'race' are clearly biological.

For others, probably most, it may be because they are simply reacting to life experiences. Unfortunately for the USA, some supplant their own life experiences for social conditioning through mass media/education/government institutions.

Governments are racist because they like to control populations. For effeciency they often divide citizens up by group, then play each group off of one another. Race is used commonly as such a grouping because it is based on plainly obvious physical characteristics that is very easy for anyone to identify.

Communist governments take it even further, they are genocidal racists. They follow the whacky theory that everyone (at least in the peasant class) must be the same. Therefore seek the elimination of all races throughout the world. Commies hate people with any sort of identity that lies outside of the hive mind, which is why they hate individualists, non marxist religions, middle class people, and of course the really hate the fact that there are different 'races' of people on this planet.

 

[LilOlLady]

Why do we still have racism? You mean since Moses married the Cushite and his sister complained and GOD struck her with leprosy? We will always have racism. It is a human trait. Sometime more then other times.

I'm assuming that you're speaking of the lovely Kristen Kreuk. Don't get me wrong, I think some ethnic women are absolutely gorgeous. I see no problems with dating them or even with entering sexual relationships with them. But where I draw the line is having offspring by them. Because once a white mates with another race the white lineage is gone forever, and there are certain race-based diseases that never, ever would've entered the white gene pool, except through intercourse with a non-white. Kristen Kreuk and Tom Welling did date, however to your utter dismay, did not produce bi-racial offspring. Now, Superman dates a white woman. Ha, stick that in your pipe and smoke it, barb.

Besides, I'm not shocked that the media promotes inter-racial relationships, Even on a favorite tv show of mine. They poked fun of Christianity in the pilot episode.

Were these people dropped on their heads as infants?

Maybe because, in 2005, black men committed 37,461 sexual assaults/rapes of white women compared to statistically zero (less than 10) White on Black. (Note also that the reported rape figures are believed to represent less than half, probably only ca. 37-38% of the real number.)
bjs.ojp.usdoj.gov/content/pub/pdf/cvus0502.pdf

Our rational everyday minds tells us that we should take lightly on such peripheral things as interracial crime statistics. However, unconsciously, people don't take lightly to it. People do have instincts, and all kinds of fears obtain in the unconscious. This darker side of ourselves is easily stirred.

Oh, wow.

Folks like YOU?

That just HAVE to keep throwing this SHIT in our faces?

WE're over it.

WTF aren't you???

Been around the world.

Was the "minority" in several countries.

And you know what?

WE ARE ALL PEOPLE!!!

So, the BETTER Question IS:

Why are YOU still so focused on what and/or how others think?

Can't think for yourself? It DOES seem to be a common malfunction of the US citizenry, as evidenced by

Never mind.

 

[William Joyce]

I'm assuming most of the racists on USMB are white. What excuse do they have, apart from the perceived loss of privileges they have not earned?

Oh, where to begin?

No. 1, and let's dispense with this right now, you aren't even serious about debating someone who has a different opinion from you. Anyone who disagrees with multiculturalism, diversity, etc. is just an idiot who was dropped on his head.

So why bother?

No. 2, I'm assuming YOU would only consider a "racist" to be a white person. "La Raza" is about as "racist" as it gets, but they're "OK" to you, of course. So again, the reasons not to take you seriously pile up.

No. 3, you've framed the whole thing to your advantage by using the term "racist." A racist is someone we all assume to be a nasty, ignorant white redneck who says "******" all the time.

But what if you're an educated, God-fearing, book-reading person OF ANY RACE who just recognizes that forced diversity is FOR SHIT? That races aren't "all the same", that we are different, and that human community centers around racial similarity?

Are you a "racist"? Or are you a race realist?
