Nope. I bet you've never been to Erlangen, Germany. Whats your point?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Wow, you totally missed it...oh well. No, I haven't been to Germany, therefore I don't know that culture and that area, just as much as you don't know anything about Cherry Hill or you wouldn't have mentioned anything about gays or looking at someone funny. That's NOT what that neighborhood was about. It was about being black, and not being on the "wrong" side of the street or else you'd get your head bashed in.

The keyword being "was". Thank you for proving my point.

Turned down for a promotion based on race? Oh you poor soul. Well I can say that the white man knows how that feels just as well as the black man these days.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hrm...and NOW they have a problem with it NOW that the shoe is on the other foot...amazing...all these years they had been silent, because...their way of life was secure. They didn't have to worry about their job, getting loans, scholarships, housing, and so on. Veddy Interesting...

When has the white man NOT had to worry about jobs? The 50s? I'm sorry but the white man is faced by MORE problems than a black man as far as job security. It's MUCH harder to fire a black man than a white one.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*snickers* Not really. You can fire the black man all you goddamned want to, it's just that the employer doesn't want the lawsuit (and whites can sue just as much as any black person if they feel like they have been discriminated against for ANY reason).

Thats bullshit and you know that. Whites can't sue that they got fired and a black man took their job in order to fill quatas.

Did I mention the scholarship/college admission thing?

People who share your argument constantly do.

And people who share your argument constantly ignore it.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Because it's the only arguement that you seem to have regarding racism against whites. Plus, don't get mad just because the answer isn't what you want to hear.

No it's the only argument you have somewhat accepted. You ignore all the job realted arguments.

Well it works for jobs too. Cut that racims bullshit out, it goes both ways. Just as many blacks keep their jobs no matter how shitty they do them and get promoted because the managment is scared shitless that they'll scream "Racism!!!" if they fire or fail to promote the lazy ass.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Again, first hand accounts beats opinion anyday. How many whites do you know that have filed suits against blacks for work discrimination and have won?

Just because they've never won doesn't mean that it doesn't exist.

Your assumption, not mine.

When people say "racism" they assume whites discriminating blacks. Anyone trying to use racism to describe the inverse will get kicked out of court becasue of affirmative action etc.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Please...with this modern society sueing each other left and right? SOMEbody's going to give that white person a chance to be heard in court someday and you know this.

You know that they won't. The black 'minority' is so strong that they'd never let he case be heard. Remember when Street was accused of corruption? What was the excuse? Racists FBI! Nope sorry. There is NO such thing as racism agaisnt whites in the US. According to current politics only blacks are affected by racism.

Been called a nigger? Awww. Well it saddening that there is one additional insult people can use on you instead of the more typical, cunt, bitch, slut, whore, but hey at least they can't call you white trash.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
LOL, you're right about that, but however those other insults have no effect on me whatsoever. Actually, bitch seems...almost empowering.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Alright bitch, so what's so bad about nigger? If the black community wants 'nigger' to go away, I suggest they stop using it first.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ooo, It must have felt soooo good to call me that.
But seriously, blacks not saying "niggah" to each other will NOT stop whites (or others) from calling a black person a nigger, and to believe otherwise is a foolish notion indeed.
|
Nah Ignorant Stubborn Bitch would have felt better.
You still haven't explained why it's so offensive or such a big deal or why it's ok for blacks to use it and not ok for whites.

Imagine if the white community said "Dude" is a BAD BAD BAD RACIST word, you say it, we'll fire you, sue you, ruin your life. The next day on the subway every single white guy says "Hey whats up dude." "How's it hanging dude" "Dude!" But if a black guy says that...oh no! Can't have that! CRUCIFY HIM!!!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We're talking context here, but again, you knew this.

Define context. I've heard it used by blacks in both ways.

And thanks for allowing me to see what I'm working with..that helps a lot.

The racism that goes on is NOTHING along the scales of the discrimination against the gay community and I see nothing along the lines of Scholarships for Fags or the Society of Gay Engineers.

Oh I'm gay now? Great. Very mature. And what if I was? Yes? Is that bad? No? Why do you poke fun at it then? Go ahead..tell me. Do you discriminate against gay people?

Careful: you're paranoia is showing.

Is it parania? Why are you changing the subject. Did you not imply that I was gay? Did you not imply it in such a way as to say that it was something I was trying to hide or should have been ashamed off?
