You know what is funny?
While all this zimmerman shit was going on and people were talking about how blacks were going to attack whites more, hate crimes towards blacks went up over the previous years by several percent. after the zimmerman issue. Funny... zimmerman kills trayvon and whites go on no blacks are going to attack us and instead the year after hate crimes towards blacks go up and against whites go down.
Confirmation bias (also called confirmatory bias or myside bias) is a tendency of people to favor information that confirms their beliefs or hypotheses.[
that's the first sentence
I am not favoring infomration that confirms my beleifs.
The forum had an a high number of anti black threads for several weeks several times a day at times after the zimmerman case closed.
This isn't me favoring information, that shit happened lol.
Yes, like 3 or 4 racists kept making threads. Now compare that to the amount of people in those threads calling them out for being stupid. And if we're to go by the demographics you linked earlier the majority of those posters would have to be white males shooting them down!
So is it racist that my friend and I are going out as each other? He's black and I'm white, clothes, makeup, manner of speaking, everything.
I think it's a play against racism to go as a stereotype of ones self, we decided to take it just that much further since we dj/do live music together.
Since we are joined at the hip for the evening on stage I think it might be edgy, but okay. Even if we are in black face and white face, which by normal means would be considered offensive....is it still offensive in this case?
By the way, they are so far off base it's retarded, cowboys are not an ethnicity, colour, or race. And yah, I get what they are trying to say/do, but it's past stupid, or maybe though there is racism in my part of Canada, it's so little racism compared to their American university, that I just don't get it?
As for MY stance on racism, it goes like this: People of all colour are still only one race, human, stop hating on cats, dogs, and all the other races, this planet is not just for us. Got a different CULTURE or ETHNICITY? Cool, in Canada, you bring it with you, lets all enjoy it. If it's SO different we can't enjoy it, hey man, it's your trip, so long as you aren't hurting nobody, who's biz is it?
