See. I live in a country where you can say THAT word without being considered a racist.I mean, it's just a word. It's the context what makes it dirty. So I guess I might get into troble if I ever went over there sag10 and JasmineFire. Read again what you just said. You hate people assuming you're not all-american!!! THAT sounds more racist to me. i don't want to repeat exactly, but jokes about 'ni**ers' being 'lazy' and what not. Power tends to corrupt; absolute power corrupts absolutely. - Lord Acton | |

sorry you guys couldn't make it work, but hats off to ya for standing your ground! I've had this problem as well. Poeple find out I'm of German descent, and they automatically think that I'm some kind of Nazi that agrees that I'm part of the "Aryan Race". It's fucking ridiculous. And embarrassing. | |

MIGUELGOMEZ said: That is my absolute MAIN problem with dating. Everything is cool and then they say something stupid. It's funny how they (whatever they are) feel like it's okay to poke at other races, except mine. What hypocrisy. At that point it's ovah!!!!
AND...I don't care if anyone mistakes me for another race. I don't understand why people trip. When I was 5 people thought I was Japanese or Philipino and that is great by me. With me humanity comes first before race. Yeah my ancestors did some great things but THEY'RE the ones who did it not I. M what blows my mind is they think they are being cute and funny when they are doing it... what is worng with people? Power tends to corrupt; absolute power corrupts absolutely. - Lord Acton | |

You have the perfect opportunity to check him and educate him and you're gonna pass. He needs to hear it from a peer and not from Al Sharpton. You don't have to date him but I'd definitely let him know what the deal is. oh, sorry hon, i misunderstood. i thought you meant i should keep seeing him. no, no, BELIEVE that i said something... more than just one something. that ignorant fuck got all kinds of hell from me. ok...you had me worried | |

Slave2daGroove said: The other thing is, when will be people ever realize that Race doesn't exist?
It was invented by a scientist in the 1700's to control people. The word "Caucasion" was because this scientist thought the people from the Caucas mountians (outside of turkey) have the perfect skull shape so white people became caucasions. It's beyond ignorant in today's age to keep these social constructs alive from generation to generation. Culture (learned behaviour) exists but racist horseshit is also learned behaviour and it has to end because there are more important things in the world to deal with. race is a misnomer and a mistake too. we are all the same race, which is human. what we have is different ethnic backgrounds... which is why i avoid using the word 'race' in reference to the whole thing Power tends to corrupt; absolute power corrupts absolutely. - Lord Acton | |

Even my angry bitter aunt who is apart of the Nation of Islam always says there's no such thing as race (at the same time calling white ppl devils ). She always says that's the white mans tool for division Maybe its about cultural accpectance and not racial? I don't know...interesting though..... | |

oooh I hate that. It amazes me how everyone is supposed to fit comfortably inside some little societal defined/described box and when you don't people feel like they can say negative things about those in your "group" without you getting offended. I have dealt with that a few times, so ignorant. But its always interesting to watch the reaction when you turn it back on them to illustrate how asinine their initial comment was. This behavior is not limited to white people. I have gotten this from other non-whites as well. [Edited 9/26/05 13:57pm] | |

I have a friend who says all kinds of shit about EVERYBODY, even derogatory shit about Black people & she's Black I always check her but she still talks shit & just apologizes as soon as something ignant flies out of her mouth. I've distanced myself from her over the years (for various reasons) but I wonder if anything I say (about generalizing people) sinks in or if she just thinks I'm a nag
Like someone else said, I can't imagine how folks who've been discriminated against can so easily generalize/diss/discriminate others? Is it some kind of payback for what's been done to them? Is it a lack of empathy? Are they just sheltered/unexposed to enough different people to realize their "theories" are bullshit?? | |

1sexymf said: Just an ignorant-ass person - regardless of race, not that anyone uses it in that way.
People who believe this are niggers by their own definition. This word does not nor has it ever meant an ignorant person. It's a derogatory word used for dark-skinned (Negroid) people. I'm not attacking you, I'm just tired of people always trying to "polish" racism and make it...acceptable in one way or another. PS, it's good to know that in my month off from this place that things haven't changed much. I was getting nervous, thinking I'm missing something delightful. I'm sick and tired of the Prince fans being sick and tired of the Prince fans that are sick and tired! | |
