Racism is dead right?

[Stoniphi]

I am an American mutt.

Great grandma was a full blood Cherokee, married an Irish potato farmer. My dad was story teller for a First Nation Ojibwa tribe, his dad was a Bohemian from Bohemia. It goes on like that.

In the winter, I am "white". In the summer I am "coloured". I catch flak because my mom was Canadian and my dad was American. I live on the border. I have had black guys from downtown Detroit call me "nigger". Around here, some of us use that term affectionately, some use it to describe a certain type of person - and it has NOTHING to do with race. It has everything to do with attitude.

I have no use for prejudice when there are so very many perfectly good reasons to dislike people on an individual basis.

There's always going to be people tat cannot understand that there are others that are different then them. Just because they are different they don't like them due to many underlying problems like their parents, their friends and who they listen to. Without help to show them that they are not thinking correctly there's no way they will ever change and it is best to just try and stay away from them if you can.

thats a contradiction. Someone to help then stay away from them . Like a turd in the pocket , or a mouse . The mouse in your pocket going to show them the way . Cosm Mikey Mouse needs some help . Going it alone is terribly hard work . A soldiers work is terribly hard . Changing the guards at Buckingham palace, go ask Alice

Stoni I so look up to you . Me and you Bro . Hentz 57 what does that really mean ? My wife's Great Grand Mother is said to be full blooded Cherokee. She ended up in Missouri out of no where. I think it was the big trail of tears cause her family seemed to end up there just at the same time the event was happening . She was Called "crazy Indian woman at the base of the Mountain" . We can't prove heritage as I do think a lot of the tribe blended into society along the way , Changing there names and what not and dropping out of the sights of government bureaucracy. That would make My son ( The savior of all your butts ) one 1/8 native to first nation I believe. Sure can't tell it cause He got Me blond hair , Lillie white skin and blue eyes . My Wife tans very easy and was teased considerably about it as a young person . They called her nigger in school . Her dad belittled her and made her feel small also by calling her dummy all the time . Man did she prove that wrong . O.K. every body say it with me . Richard and Dick are interchangeable . Dick Richard Richard Dick . Pretty tricky Dicky Me thinks Richard. Rich listen up dude you got to get a grip . There going to be knocking down your door with hand cuffs in there hand . Straighten up ! Work it out . Everyone is in the Know of what you been doing

Me and you, bro Me - Ki. The Cherokee survived and that is what counts!

This is so strange Stoni , I don't know if it was red car phenomena or what . Down the street from Me 2 skin heads that I didn't even knew lived there ( a little trailer on a small lot) Hard to miss them like 10 minutes ago . There was a minimum of 5 cop cars surrounded the front side of the trailer and they had the 2 guys out on the deck ready to arrest them for something . 2 women were standing out side close to the next block looking on with anticipation. They must of been involved some how . So strange after I was talking about Me cops around here getting bad guys , Then today when the event happened we are talking about racism. Like a cementing in Me brain .

We are on the right track bro . Relay like . Can you feel the baton passing back and forth . I can . I think the captain can too. Do we control that ? I am thinking it is more like plants growing . More natural then planned out . Candid . You see the banned list recently . Racism got a couple of em . Looked like 3 dogs down. Oh to funny . That is a shop on the Indian nation around Ronan or use to be . I have not heard there advertising for a long time . They sponsored the news around here and the weather people would judge how cold it was by how many dogs you needed to sleep with . When it got to be a " 3 dog night " it was butt ass cold . They sold winter coats , comforters, wool blankets and the likes .

dont know how some idiots can say racism is dead in the country it is still very much alive and not going anywhere for along time.. if you think it is your blind ignorant. this video really really angers me

maybe that is the whole idea of posting it on youtube, to incite racial tensions.
i didn't watch the video because racism is childish, children are exceptionally bad at this sort of stuff.
inciting racial hatred serves no purpose and can easily be classified as a form of terrorism.

 

[chimpkin]

I can't access the video, but racism turns my stomach.

My best friend in high school was black, and I just thought of her as the most brilliant, classy person I ever knew.

And so when I hear racist stuff said, I still think of it being said about her.
And it still turns my stomach.

It's so unfair!
I mean, hate someone for something they did, yeah, if someone's a worthless POS that's one thing...but color?!?!

 

[yaracuy]

yes i am black. and what reasons do you have not to live among blacks? the color of ones skin has absolutly nothing to do with what type of person they are

There are to many uncivilized blacks. My brother in law have made an attempt to live among blacks ( blacks they moved into his neighbor ) . After a few years my sister could not stand any more the noise ,garbage and danger at night.
So you tell me does the color of the skin.
Until the black educated don't teach their fellow black how to live civilized . there will be discrimination.

 

[yaracuy]

I don't think that's the reason the guy commented that way.

Some people are prejudice, it doesn't matter what colour they are. Even if they happen to be black, they might assume that everyone that isn't is a racist, they might even attempt to make it sound that way just to make it look like they are victimised so they can claim sympathy.

Those kinds of people are leeches on society, they attempt to utilise a social problem like racism for their own greed, to turn into a quick buck or undermine a person just because they want to feel empowered. These are likely the people the guy refers to.

The problem is that some people are too quick to stereotype, where a couple of people one one ethnicity might do this, the whole ethnicity is suddenly tarred the same. That's where it's incorrect, people obviously have to be dealt with based upon individual merit, one guy does not equal one people. (If that was the case 'a murder' would make every human alive 'murderers')

Do you live in a white neighborhood , or black ?

I don't really have a neighbourhood currently, although I have been visiting Augusta, GA over the past couple of months I will shortly be returning to the UK.

I guess you can say on the rare occasion I get to deal with different ethnicities without any reason to hate, like I point out elsewhere it's all down to personal merit, if someone acts ill towards me then I'll likely resent them personally.

I dislike also white trash, were many are hillbilly

what? huh?
what is an "uncivilized black"?
and what exactly is "black"?
you do realize there is no biological basis for race, right?

yeah well my babysitter was black and i always liked looking up her dress.

 

[yaracuy]

your not intouch with reality,,

so a couple weeks ago wen 2 white males came up to me and called me a dumb nigger that was the media right?

Many years ago I went to a college in a black neighborhood , two black punks assaulted me and told me not to come to their neighborhood , So are not bigots among blacks ?

 

[Stryder]

That is an old warn out story . The truth is it is harder for a black man to rise up in station in life . It is controlled by good old boy cronyism . People think well we got a token black man in office now so we ain't racist anymore.

I'm merely referring to potential attitude adjustments, after all for the most part I'm out minding mine, but if someone queue jumped by pushing in and then proceeded to give me grief claiming it's race because I'm just responding to their rude behaviour not colour, I see that they individually need an attitude adjustment. (They don't have to be black, if a white/brown/orange/green guy does it I'll think the same.)

Now I understand personal responsibility and all and to tell you the poor do have a little problem with personal responsibility. Probably cause there poor and can't buy there way out of trouble type things that all classes do .

Let's mention a couple of guys that like to fish over my fathers lake. When they originally asked "Can we fish?", it was "sure". However they have to be reminded to "Ask beforehand" just a precaution so we know they are there.

The problem is they just started turning up whenever they felt like, they'd fish and fish until the lake is empty of fish if they could. They don't put them back, they take them away and apparently they sell them to a Mexican Grill. They don't offer money back to my father for them being his fish, in some respects they've become Poachers.

I mean ideally if they had wanted to make money out of it, they should have had a word with my father to restock the fish, for a small cut (just for the maintenance and repopulation of fish) I'm pretty sure he would of let them operate as a business. The problem has been though they tend to be out for themselves and that's a shame. (Again an example of a need for an attitude adjustment for some people)

If they had money they could wipe away there sin with a good attorney. Think about that high profile case of what ever her name is ( Killed her baby) all O.J. like . If she was not high profile and made to be a spectacle of high media profits you think she would have got off that easy . Hell no I can't believe that . Different degrees of political correctness

That was a little different in the case of that trial there were still too many unknown's and that's what effected the case.

 

[yaracuy]

what? huh?

As for me : An individual who does not have respect for peoples in the neighborhood (so it can be also a white trash )

If you live in Iceland then your question would be pertinent,

Biologically there is not much difference between a chimp and me or you.
but ethnically we are different.

 

[chimpkin]

I dislike also white trash, were many are hillbilly

Hey now! Yew wait one cotton' pickin' minute thar!

Them thar's fightin' words!

It's actually not racism... in fact I am sure it does not really exist. It's culturalism. People naturally reject other cultures and if they can dominate/marginalize them then they will. For example, in America if you find a black person who acts just like the average white person then you have someone of the dominant culture and nobody cares. If you have a black person who adheres to inner city culture then he will quickly become a "nigger" to everyone.

Gee, thanks for clarifying that for me. :bugeye:

Sorry, but I am only able to respond to rational questions and statements. Yours didn't qualify.

I do have a tomahawk (a "Shrike", Google it) and know how to use it. Hows about you?

You are elevating yourself as been rational . How come you could not realize that the Cherokee in you is several generation away and beside . You are saying that grandmother was a full-blooded . in reality there are no documents that she was not mixed up with other races.

I will not pretend to be any thing but a human , born in Eastern Europe .
