Well, I asked it. You fuckers tell me.

Apparently a new member believes this is not so, and only skinhead fuckers such as I can be racist.

Now, I want NO bashing of any races in this thread, and no fucking racist comments; it's not only pointless but morally wrong. If you can't play nice, just give a simple Yes or No.

Yes I am the only "white" guy at work and every one of my co workers are completely racist!

Anyone can be racist. Period.

yes, only you white people can be racist, because, you know, sharpton, jackson, and all those other racebaiting fucktard walking abortion advertisements don't really exist.

yes, and many are, but it's ok as long as you're not white

Quoted: Anyone can be racist. Period.

I agree. But it seems that only whites are called on it.

Sad as it may be, but we do have a winner.

Sad as it may be, very true.

Hmmmm.....I've wondered that myself.  Maybe we should ask Malik "Zulu" Shabazz (leader of the new black panther party)  

I love the fact that he's frequently on Hannity and Colmes.  Sean makes it a practice to make him look hella-stupid whenever he's on.....and I rejoice in this as I hate him oh so much.  F the NOI.

The most racist people I have ever met in my life were black.
I have met white people who were racist and Hispanics who were racist, but the worst by far were black.

To answer your question, yes anyone can be a racist.

Quoted: Anyone can be racist. Period.

Yep that is true..........I'm a racist.

Quoted: yes, and many are, but it's ok as long as you're not white

Yep, my BLACK classmates and I had this discussion today. THEY all agreed some of the most racist people they knew were black people.

Quoted: yes, only you white people can be racist, because, you know, sharpton, jackson, and all those other racebaiting fucktard walking abortion advertisements don't really exist.

I don't know about racists, but apparently anyone can become a troll!

Run along little troll, back to DU!

I guess that depends on who you ax:

Hell yes.  Racism cuts all ways.

DU doesn't like me since I was there mocking them nonstop over mr. unelectable kerry. Might go back to taunt them over Shillary Snopes, though.

btw, if you didn't read my post and realize that I hate sharpton and jackson and blame them for 50% of the current "racial problems" in this country, you're slow on the uptake.

racebaiters who want "reperations" and more drama so they aren't out of a job are reason numero uno. reason numero two is the socialist-style welfare state.

OK, secondary question, incidental to the first.

Why do so many, upon giving a "yes" answer, automatically think of blacks? Is it woven into our culture as whites to automatically respond that the "bad" portion of every situation is attributable to blacks?

Quoted: The most racist people I have ever met in my life were black. I have met white people who were racist and Hispanics who were racist, but the worst by far were black. To answer your question, yes anyone can be a racist.

I've surprisingly never met any racist Hispanics (at least overt and outward, anyway)....and I never thought of this until reading your post.  Just to illustrate this point, I remember a few years ago, in the Sprinfield MA area, the HEAD of the LATIN KINGS was a white Italian kid named Michael Cecchetelli.  I doubt you'd ever see "Paddy O'Door" heading up any local Black Panther chapters.

Generalizations reinforced by our various medias.  What makes more news locally or nationally spelling bee winners or 3 armed black guys being taken violently down by the cops after a robbery?

Probably because most of the "leaders" of the black community use racism to "motivate"
their followers.  It reminds me of how hitler used a hatred of Jews to motivate his army

No, only whites can be racist. Minorities only express justifiable outrage towards whites for the horrible things that whites did to their ancestors.

There are some churches where i have to work named The Holy Black Army.

if you want racism hang around japanese people. being from AL i'm familiar with racists, but the most racist person i've encountered was japanese.

 racism, racialism, racial discrimination

  discriminatory or abusive behavior towards members of another race

Thank you for the rest of the quote.  Following this logic to it's end, those who do not possess power also do not possess prejudice? Or simply that prejudice, by itself, is not racism, but a perfectly reasonable thought process through which one expresses themselves?

Of course, whites are the only racists! Just ask Queen Latifah!

"Whites are racist, because racism comes from a position of power, and black people cannot be racist because they don't have that power." (BROADLY paraphrased.)

I swear there are more racist black people then white people in my parts.

Quoted: if you want racism hang around japanese people. being from AL i'm familiar with racists, but the most racist person i've encountered was japanese.

That was actually my thought as well. Rarely have I ever seen a particular race or nationality so aloof and self-righteous as the Japanese as a whole. I think this has little to do with race, however, and more to do with culture in which they are raised. They are taught all their lives that they are superior to anybody else.

Following through with this paart of the argument, would everyone here agree that what is often referred to as racism(hatred of a particular race) is actually, in most cases, more precisely termed culturalism(hatred of a particular culture)?

Technically YES anyone can be, however in our PC world only whites are racist, We are also the only ones who can commit hate crimes. If any other group of people think they are superior because of skin color its "Pride" and thats OK as long as you aren't white.

i agree that racism definately has strong roots in every culture.

Racism is a tool of idiots. Period.






To think any race has a monoploy on racism, would logically mean that only one sex could be sexist.

We all all into race ,and gender judgement!!
If we pre-judge people we are prejudice!

So lets just let the people be what they are!!  I can say that when I see a young man walking with one hand holding his pants up(so he won't  fall down) it's damn sure swift he won't be running too far before his pants lassoes his ass to the ground!!

I am sure that we all need a real hero,a roll model to be like(how about us)  just be you!!


What a novel twist ,unstead of trying to be  like the gel dipped dudes whom try to have thier hair looking like guys hair(working dudes) just let them get jobs!

Working men don't have to lift wieghts(duh) you get musicles by working!!

I say there are no men ,but  men,and no women but women,and if you pre-judge them you are at a loss from the start!

Our hormones are what make us what we are!!!

That is only true if you believe Blacks are not equal to Whites.

Of course they can be.  And to disagree would be racist in and of itself.

It's just not called that if you're not white.  (not in the public arena anyway.  I'm sure it's in everyone's mind, but who dare say it hinking.gif)

This is coming from a minority, too.  Minorities like to talk a lot of shit.  Maybe I hear more of it since I'm dark-skinned and a lot of people just see that and assume I hate whitey.  (Because, you know, only half my family's white, they're not insulting me at all hem
And I did have a friend who still to this day believes minorities can't be racist.  But whatever.  I stopped trying to explain long ago.

anyone can be racist. It's just that white males are the only ones that can be publicly accused of it.

Anyone can be a racist.  

Anyone can be called a racist.

Anyone can call anyone else a racist.

Any racist can deny or justify their racism.

Almost anyone can be baited and accused by racists long enough to become racists themselves.

So on and so forth...

Everyone hates number #1.  That said I am a blue eyed devil and am wary of the knappy headed beast.  
Ask Barry Bonds how he feels about whitey.  Wake up whitey.  

Anyone can be. oh and IBTL

Yes.

Yes, you see this all the time anybody and every body can be one

Only white people can be racist--don't you read the paper or watch the news?

Quoted: yes, and many are, but it's ok as long as you're not white

+1, absolutely correct.

Q. How come there were only 49 contestants in the Miss Black America contest?
A. Nobody would be Miss Idaho

but seriously, folks...

How many caucasian contestants in the Miss Black America contest?...or the Miss Latin USA contest?

Oh, and who won the last Miss Caucasian America contest?

Having pride in your race, culture, and heritage is a positive force....unless you're caucasian. It is not politically correct to celebrate ones whiteness.

Wuttup wi' dat, yo?

Some of the worst racists I have ever known are blacks.

The only non white racists are Republicans...                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      So says Jesse, AL,Louie,and the other race baiters.
