Aw, shit. Take your indignant talk elsewhere. No one made any racist statements, we just made fun of that one asshole who ranted about how his nigga is gone, and not forgotten. But seeing as we're white, we're automatically racist, right?
Don't be such a shithead. If you really wanted to end racism, you'd have commented on how wrong it is for black to call eachother "niggas". But of course it's much easier to pull the racist card again, isn't it?
Um, seeing how some people actually posted shit like 'this just prooves my pals stupidity' or whatever (i don't recall the exact wording) makes those people racist.
And i'm not saying that b/c you're white, you're racist. Every culture has racism. Hell, I'm half Japanese - and the Japanese (at least the ones living in Japan) are more racist than whites and it's more acceptable to be so (over there).
I can't end racism and I'm not claiming that I can. I'm not disagreeing with the statement that everybody is racist, or at least pre-judges. Of course, there's what we call human-nature. Everybody prejudges. It can save your life from an ass-beating, for example.
And for those that have said that nothing racist has been said in this thread - I question both your literacy and interpretational skills. I suppose the latter is your own perogative... it's as free as freedom of speech.... but sheesh, you can't be surprised when somebody such as myself decides to speak up about some of the retarded comments in this thread.
And Will - i don't think I literally spelled out that I thought you were a racist. You can basically take what I've said so far and get two things out of it. One - your initial post being left so bare of your expressed opinion would make me have to assume that you're not to keen on black folks (which you've since explained yourself). And more importantly...... I tried to imply that your leniancy as a Mod on some of these worthless "my pals" statements of others makes me wonder what exactly are your standards for keeping discussion - and in this case, a potentially healthy debate over social issues - civil.
Believe me, I have my opinions on why things are the way they are and lots of black folks wont like them. I like talking and discussing those things, but it's hard to do when some dumbass chimes in with something as 'eh, they're just stupid my pals'. In 6 months, i'll have a child who's Japanese, Black, German, & Irish. I'm not going to keep racism from his eyes, but I'm sure as hell going to do what it takes to ensure that he has a more educated opinion of why things are the way they are, whether i agree with him or not.
sorry for the long post - I don't come here all that much. Maybe there is a level of humor here that I'm not quite aware of. Like, that "uh, so-&-so's a chink?" comment actually made me laugh. However, after reading through this thread, I'm not sure if i want to come here much. pleasant news for some.
