Great bunch of self-righteousness... Do you feel like you are a superior person because you SAY that you don't hate?

"So i had to look at where you are from, and i was not suprised to see it was Texas." - jthad1129

What the fuck does that have to do with ANYTHING?

Do you realize what an ignorant comment you just made? You claim that hating is bad and then you make a fucking ridiculous statement like that. I think that you need to look at what you are saying and how you are thinking.

There is nothing wrong with hating anything.

Some people admit that they "hate" and some like to pretend that they don't. For your edification, here is the definition of hate:

hate ( P ) Pronunciation Key (ht)
v. hat·ed, hat·ing, hates
v. tr.

To feel hostility or animosity toward.

To detest.

To feel dislike or distaste for: hates washing dishes.

NOW TO ADDRESS SOME OF YOUR COMMENTS:

I feel animosity and hostility toward someone if they cut me off in traffic and nearly cause harm to my vehicle or my person. This is based out of self-preservation instincts. I feel hostility and animosity and I dislike them for nearly injuring me. I admit this and I am not ashamed to admit it.

I don't feel hostility toward others for disagreeing with me, but I get aggravated with people who act self-righteous and smug. There are always other sides to issues and I am happy to hear other viewpoints, so I never get mad at people who disagree with me.

It is not only okay to hate Saddam Hussein, but it is okay to hate whoever you choose. In the world of happy fairies and dancing pixies, hate and anger don't exist, but here in the real world it is a perfectly natural emotion.

It doesn't take any time or effort to hate. Hate is an emotion.

EDIT: Hating someone doesn't necessarily mean that you want to kill them or beat them up or whatever, it simply means that you detest them. Example: I detest murderers and thieves... one could say that I hate them. Would I go around killing them vigilante style? No... but I do hate them.

And apparently you hate Texans, jthad, as you said that you weren't surprised to see that I live in Texas. Is your place of residence morally superior to Texas? You talk about hate being bad and then you destroy any possible credibility that you could ever have with a bigoted comment like that.

Sigh...

-See, I knew you would take it the wrong way. I really hated that movie, or I really hated that song but Hating that Mexican you were talking about. Do you know how ignorant THAT sounds. Tape record yourself and listen to it back.

"So i had to look at where you are from, and i was not suprised to see it was Texas."

-I can just see a guy from Texas starting this thread about racism and hatred. It's called a sterotype, I don't need a definition, I already know what hate is and try to stay away from hating people (unless they kill my mom or something, then i would reconsider)

-Seems you want people to agree with you that hating people is OK, just so long as you don't hate a whole race of people. Wake up

There is nothing wrong with hating anything.

-no, just people


simma down now and don't get all hot and bothered, thought we were just disscussing

You are so very right LaVish, and I don't think alot of people realize this. The reason why black people are sooo sensitive to the race issue is because it's been thrown in our faces sooo many times, now and in the past -- particularly the Jim Crow laws "White Only" "Negros Only". The laws may have changed but the mentality of some have not.

Example: I took my daughters and about 15 other little girls to a very nice hotel in a very white suburb about 2 years ago for a sleepover. While we were in the pool the maintenance man and manager came to the side where I was standing overseeing the girls and scooped up a vial of water as if to examine it for contamination. Previous to this the manager constantly complained that the girls were making too much noise and were disburbing the other guests of the hotel. Well, this is a swimming pool and we are paying guest also. But I kept my cool because I did not want to destroy the fun all the girls were having. But to insinuate that my girls were contaminating their pool was almost to much for me to bear and I had to bite my lips and touch to keep from telling that asshole where he could stick his fucking vial.

This is not an obsolete occurance. Things like this happen to black people everyday.

Have you had a chance to see the movie "Bamboozled" where the main characters are black people in "black face". This movie touches on the the sensitivity of the race issue that has been used to degrade blacks since we were shipped here. And if it appears that some black people are sensitive to the race thang, well, we have a right to be considering our history. We were once classified as 1/5 human, and sometimes I believe people still believe this is so.

But to answer your question Ice, no I do not believe that just because you hate a person of a particular race then you're a racist, that's crazy. IMO, one would have to show a consistancy of negativity towards a particular race to be considered a racist.

It's called projection; hating one person for a reason (usually a childish one) sets up some sort of psychological filter, projecting your anxieties and your inability to deal with the situation onto the the racial/cultural difference existing between you and the person you hate. Plus, to keep your mind in some sort of sanity, you'll have a need to explain your hatred.
So, from 'i hate him' it'll become 'i hate him because he's white/catholic (fill in your difference)'

On the other hand you may have seen insunuation where there was none, He may have simply been checking the chlorine levels were safe/correct in the pool.

If the manager of a hotel receives a complaint from a guest about noisy kids, he's obliged to raise the issue with the parents of the disruptive kids.I bet the guy did this on a daily basis to white families too.

I could be wrong though, he may well have been a racist asshole for all i know.

I HATE anyone that drives way BELOW the speed level. If it says 35,go at least 35! Makes me wanna SCREAM and plow my car into theirs.

IceNine said:

Then some people need to wake up!

Diva said:

Right... but it is a very real fact that many people will try to turn something into a race issue if you say anything against a single person of another race... not the race, just the person.

Somehow, in the minds of many people, you cannot say anything against anyone outside of your race or you are a racist. I have seen it a good number of times... sad, really.

IceNine said:

It is really sad... but often if that's the kind of conclusion they're going to reach, (without any kind of evidence) then it truly says a lot more about them than the person they're calling a racist.

Racism is deplorable, and it will never make any sense to me... and calling someone a racist based on the circumstances you have described is also nonsensical.

I equate racism 2 face-jism.

wow - lots of posts.

my tuppence/dime/euro's worth:

It's not how many people you hate that makes you a racist, it's WHY you hate them.

I might hate all eskimos (trying to be neutral-ish here ) but that doesn't make me a racists unless I hate them BECAUSE they're eskimos (I might just hate them because they east meat - stupid, but not racist).

But if I hate only one black person BECAUSE s/he's black, then I'm as much a racists as anyone can be.

Mind you, if I hate one black person because s/he's black then I'll probably hate all black people. But still, it's WHY I hate them, not how many of them I hate that's the important thing.

I'm off to talk some sense now...

eg: I don´t give $ to a black guy beggin for change cuz he´s black, its cuz I´m poor.
