Racism in full swing... Options

[impala454]

That's pretty weak dude. And yes, this is race-based prejudice. Do you need to look up the word prejudice too?

It doesn't "comfort" me at all. What do I not understand? They're choosing not to shop at a store because of the owner's race. How is this not racism? You sound as though it's ok so long as it's not a white person doing it. Doubtful though. That's not right. It's racism, inequality, etc whether it's black on white, yellow on brown, or any other combination. When people stop doing this kind of shit is when we'll stamp out racism.

How do you propose to stamp out racism? Somehow people will just look at each other and say, we are all the same? Look, I understand the "white man's frustration", my boyfriend has given me a detailed account of it numerous times. I understand that all this stuff seems rather bias, at times can be pretty unfair to the white man. On the other hand it is not exactly productive to call the movement to increase racial equality racist. Racial equality relays much on education equality and social-economic equality between races. Until that's achieved, it is rather difficult to "stamp out racism". If you talk to the intellectuals who deals with race relations, no one is saying to quiet the white voice, race is about multiple races, not just one. You can speak of race and racism by exclude races. The real issue is that you have to understand, or at least try to understand the other person's perils before there can be any real communication.

there is a reason why there will never be a White Entertainment Television channel, the way BET exists.

What do you call Fox News?

[FORSAKENR320]

What do you call Fox News?

look, i understand that the majority of the channels on tv seem to be white dominate, but thats not the point i'm getting at. you could not have a television channel blatently call it's self "White Entertainment Television"

And what "perils" are those I apparently don't understand? What "perils" drove these people to decide to only shop at a black owned business?

[pysex]

if they choose not to shop at a white owned business in order to promote black owned business then it is racist

that's just like a white person not shopping at a black owned business to promote white owned business.........how you can't see that i don't know

[impala454]

That would seem to be a pre-requisite for shopping purposely at a black owned business...

By Ignoring race. Too much resides for people like Jessee Jackson who thrive off the race relations problems. Its about money and education these days. I think the government needs to provide free education for up to college students who actually give a rats ass and do well. Lots of non white people have moved beyond this shit and started doing stuff for themselves. If these people boycotted places that discriminate against them or another people, I give them thumbs up.

I think I will only go to white owned restaurants, which in Tucson means I will have to travel a long distance to get it. People understand my burden!

I'm helping your point.
Do you just see cmac and start typing a rebuttle?

[impala454]

It looked to me like you were trying to post the definition and claim that what these people are doing is not racism...

No I definitely do not look at anyone's username and instantly think anything. All you have to do is read around on the forum some and see that I can be going at it with someone in one thread and amicable with them in another.

The egyptians, who were black, invented Slavery 5,000 years ago.
