Racism

[Kroc1138]

A White man cooks a dish of macaroni & cheese and green beans...

The Dish is called macaroni & cheese and green beans...

A Black man cooks a dish of macaroni & cheese and green beans...

The Dish is called Soul Food.

You call that fair?

Now that is just plain silly. I hate to say this but you are really ignorant.

Ha..

How far is is that stick crammed up your butt?

It was meant jokingly.

 

[Kroc1138]

Fair Enough.

 

[terry78]

Are you seriously half vietnamese, strike-hard?

 

[strike-hard]

Fair Enough.

I don't see how anybody could have taken that post seriously (referring to my original post)...

Forward..

So the solution to discrimination is discrimination?

Yes..

Why?

Ya'll don't know what it's like........being male middle class and white.........

The King!

Well, race is a touchy subject. I don't see how you thought that some ppl wouldn't atke it seriously. I don't know you well enough to come to any conclusion about you.

Forward..

That's simplifying it. It's obviously endlessly more complex than you describe it.

 

[CrAzYMoFo]

Ah, got a touch of the white guilt do ya?

No....... it is just kind of awkward. What exactly do you mean by white guilt, I didn't do anything. I just don't know if they are somehow offended.

You can call me Simpleton...

Two men apply for the same position...

One is white and the other is Asian...

They are both equally qualified for the position...

The Asian man gets the position to promote diversity in the workplace...

(repeat over)

Until minorities feel that they aren't discriminated against anymore.

But it's okay for them to discriminate...

I just learned something today

The Koreans in my school are the biggest racists i have ever seen in my life

Sure you maybe thinking to yourself, "Brodie! How could you say that, your a racist!"

Im not saying every Korean is racist, i'm just saying this particular group is.
I over heard them at lunch talking about how they hate most black's, whites and hisspanic people. Then later in one of my classes I asked this one girl from that particular group what page we we're on. She just gave me a dirty look and didn't say anything.

Wierd

Actually, the reasoning behind it goes domething like this........


Two men apply for the same position...

One is white and the other is Asian...

Both are equally qualified, yet the number of positions like the one offered held by asian people is minute, while the number of white people in this position is large.
add to that the fact that the owner of the business is white, and so is the person evaluating the two individuals who are as you said are "equally qualified".

affirmative action was conceived to deter employersfrom using race as a determining factor (ie, both are qualified the same, but one is white just like me.....) add to that the fact that quite frankly racism has been pretty much accepted until recently in the u.s. (i mean, c'mon, think about it, it's one of the few places that has a racial slur for every race, in some cases several....)

Minorities however don't "discriminate" I think you are mistakingly assuming that being "proud" of who you are is "discriminatory", It would be just as damnable is a minority discriminated white people, and there are organizations that do this, it does not make it okay.

now, what you don't seem to understand is that "white Pride" is inmediatly associated with white supremacy, in fact, if the white race had been persecuted at least once in the past 400 years i'd be all for "white pride" t-shirts, but this is not so is it.
as little as 20 years ago racism was pretty rampant in the U.S. in fact, in many places it's still pretty much the norm.

racism is making a judgement on a person solely on attributes you associate with a race (skin color, use of language, religion what have you) trying to help those that due to social innequities have a harder time aquiring the same opportunities available to the white majority is far from racist.

y'all get the feeling he lost something to an ethnic person or something?

you better watch out because I'm gonna say ****!!!!

So the Asian man gets hired based on race...
Fight discrimination with discrimination..

So you're suggesting its okay for one race to be proud of their race and ti display it, and the other is not okay?

Geez! That's pretty odd. At most Asian kids are kinda exclusive at time to their own race when it comes to friends and relationships, But I've seen bigoted Asians outside of the strict parents. Weird indeed.

and if some guy walks around with an 'aliens are going to take over and i can't wait' t-shirt he's automatically referred to as an anti-humanist and no one likes him. it's so unfair.

As an entirety, no, white people have not been prosecuted. However, there are instances of persecution of whites in this country in the last 400 years. Ask the Irish about it.

Again you have to explain the context man. If some white guy was walking around with an Irish pride T-shirt then there's no problem. If some guy was walking around with a confederate Flag on, then there's a problem.

White Pride Shirt

Brown Pride Shirt

Why is one acceptable and not the other?

They both have designs on them and say "_ _ _ _ _ Pride" on them..

Again, that is far too vague.

many people associate the term "white pride" with KKK, or some kind of white supremacy mindset. I understand that you may not intend to express that, but in most cases that is the way it would be seen. It has nothing to do with a double standard on racism, just the history of the phrase "white pride"....then again, you can wear whatever you want, just hope no one loses there temper towards your shirt....
