Rush Hour 1 and 2 Respect thread!!

The problem is defining oneself as "white" or "black" or any other race for that matter.

If you didn't feel like you were part of the "black" then you wouldn't be bitter about stuff that didnt happen to you. If you didn't feel like part of the "white" you wouldn't feel guilty about stuff you had nothing to do with.

Well part of the problem is white has singularly become the universal for anyone from Europe. Just as asian has encompassed all asian cultures, but in the end how about American :)
 
Technically India and the surrounding countries are part of Asia which makes them Asian. Yet most people think of Asian as Oriental.

To be fair, most of us "whites" come from immigrant families, who immigrated here long after the emancipation proclomation, my family came over at the turn of the century, 1900. Also quite a few slaves were sold to the white men by chiefs of the tribes of africa...
Oh man. Are you defending 400 years of race-based slavery by pointing out that Africans participated in the slave trade during the formative years? That's like defending the German contributions to the Holocaust by pointing out that Jews lead other Jews to the gas chambers. :down

Anyways, the point is a white person complaining about being labelled a racist simply because they're white needs to understand it isn't because "whites are the majority". It's because whites treated blacks horribly for hundreds of years. DUH!

If whites were mistreated by blacks for hundreds of years then I wouldn't be suprised if white people expected blacks to be racist. It comes with the territory.

You're utterly ridiculous :D ANyone who can not accept truths of the matter, and then try to villianize the other party because there precious ideals might possibly been hurt is ridiculous, since I was in no way justifying slave trade, merely pointing out that with all things that there are facts that are often left out. I think it's also funny because your argument is horribly unsound and unprepaired because you do realized your arguments have nothing to do with our conversation other than coming off as an ass, trying reading previous posts next time and coming up with an argument that doesn't generalize whole populations. Like I said, my family did not abuse blacks so please stop using term "whites"... It so uneducated...

But since you need things in black and white... Let me reiterate, slavery is wrong and what was done during those days is in no way right.

How many freed slaves and ex-slave owners do you know?
 
It bothers me when white people get overly sensitive about race (aka white guilt).

Just because you can't enslave blacks today doesn't mean you can't be as racist or even more racist than a slave owner was a century ago..

Ha, my original point simply is I believe everyone is racist, and those who say there not, usually end up being more racist. But none the less I enjoy the rush hour movies and it's utterly hilarious how much chris tucker is getting paid cuz he hasn't made a movie in like 6 years...

I love telling black jokes around really sensitive people who aren't black, it's just hilarious to see them flip out :D
