Look at the title. There is nothing to discuss. All it is is the OP trying to justify being an idiot and an asshole. Everyone is HUMAN. That is what race we are. Anyone who puts THE HUMAN RACE into any other group then THE HUMAN RACE just shows that they aren't very bright.

Aye mate
You completely misunderstand. We lost silverware due to people throwing it away with their trash or them getting caught in the scrappers (high powered jet wash that cleans dishes before they hit the big dishwasher). The amount we lost was maybe 2 dozen at most. That day we lost a significant amount more plus other things. We also were not open to the general student body. The university students went to a separate cafeteria so we only served these inner city high schools. This is what happened, you can make up your own mind about who was responsible.
Oh and when you paraphrase quotes you use ' and not " so as not to look dumb when what you quote is not what I said.
If you are particularly bold, you could use a Shiny Ditto. Do keep in mind though, this will infuriate your opponents due to Ditto's beauty. Please do not use Shiny Ditto. You have been warned.
I was labeled a racist for demanding everyone in our raid understand English on vent. That doesn't make me a racist, though.
It's ridiculously easy to get accused of racism, but that doesn't mean you're actually a racist - false accusations are very common.Don't really know what I'm trying to get out of this but I'm tired of others thinking racist people are bad.
There's the rub:
- If you hold racist beliefs, that's stupid.
- If you're called a racist, it doesn't mean anything.
Hmm...I guess what it stems down to is being a realist that acknowledges some races are prone to violence, drugs, and general mayhem.
If you believe that's true because of some inherent racial trait, you're a racist.
If you believe that's true because some races are represented in disproportional numbers among the lower social clas for historical reasons (descendents of former slaves), you're not a racist.
Of course there are other explanations too.
what exactly is "white guilt" and why are you implying that you must either be a Racist or have it?
this makes absolutely no sense. It's easy to not be a racist and not feel guilty for being white. Just because through out history white people have more commonly committed acts like enslavement, forcefully annexing entire countries or large regions to form empires, and used religion as an excuse to commit some of the worse atrocities in history, doesn't mean you have to feel guilty about something someone else decided.
The day you go out and start a crusade to purge the holy land of all non Christians, or go out and exploit India or another nation to build an economic empire, or go and start enslaving indigenous peoples then you should feel guilty. Until then just choose to not be a dick and if confronted by someone blaming you for the crimes of past generations of Caucasians take a line from Shaggy "It Wasn't me"
I say that to myself quite frequently when it comes to some white people and racism, on "safe zone" internet forums.
"White Guilt", when spoken negatively 99% of the time, is just a buzzword that (low grade) white people use when they're against anything that has to do with acknowledging the bad things they've done. Bad things that conflict the false image of perfection that they have been fed, that has shaped their unhealthy and laughably weak self image. It's like "Cultural Marxist". A phrase that is used constantly by fringe idiots, that the rest of us scoff at.

There's a difference between being wary of some black kid dressed like a gangster with a rag hanging out of his pocket and seeing a black guy dressed in a nice suit and thinking he must have bought it with drug money. The first is simply working from what you know statistically and from the appearance they present, everyone does that, the second is coming up with a completely unrelated conclusion to the information provided you and is more along the lines of racism.
Ah, care to support that claim?
The history of Africa is littered with enslavement, empires of conquest and black-black racism, spiced up with cannibalism - for thousands of years. Until about 1850, when the Europeans moved in and took over. At least by then Europeans tried to suppress the slave trade and cannibalism.
you have the religions of the world to thank for racism and hypocrites and wars
do you believe in god? NO...bang dead
do you believe in god? YES... do you believe in my god? NO ...bang dead
look through history and you will see the belief in a religion has caused more racism hatred death and persecution than any one thing.
Racism is a very bad thing. No one want to feel the hate of people.
OP, you answered your own question when you wrote, "I guess what it stems down to is being a realist that acknowledges some races are prone to violence, drugs, and general mayhem." THAT is racism. You are generalizing people based upon their race. What you wrote is not true. People are more prone to those things because of the environment they grew up in, not because they were born with a different skin color.
And to the person who said "everyone" is racist deep down, that is not true. It's been proven racism is a learned trait.

That's the second time you've intentionally misinterpreted my post. There won't be a third time.
Proof of this first sentence please. Something irrefutable that demonstrates that these things were carried out throughout most of the continent, as you are implying. I'll wait.
