  • Where are you getting that I said racism doesn't exist.

  • Maybe, explicit racism is definitely nowhere near as bad as it was before. Implicit racism is still alive and well however, and it probably always will be.

  • No probs, it was pretty hard to tell ill admit it

    oh shit my bad i couldn't tell

  • yeah

    No probs, it was pretty hard to tell ill admit it

  • I'm white (and like 1-5% Native American) and I hate racism. I mean, aside from it being wrong its also completely childish. Treating someone different because their skin is a different color? That's fucking idiotic. It's like children throwing a fit because they got a new $100 toy but it doesn't have the pattern they wanted, its pathetic. So yeah, I'm against racism.

  • dude let's be real i'm pretty sure racism against white people is really fucking rare.

    Really??

    Technically I'm mixed but i look white (think Kim Kardassian but good looking). The problem with this country is that America as a whole is so overly politically correct. People are always crying.

    dude let's be real i'm pretty sure racism against white people is really fucking rare. Like no ones gonna follow you in a store because you're white.

  • Anyone can say the N word. Its just a word.

    Like Cat, or Door, or Remote Control Car.

    If you choose to get upset over something someone said, then you give up power.

    well the n word is our word (i'm black) and its not going anywhere

  • Indian, Italian

    uh..ok i see where you're coming from with the politically correct thing. what are mixed with if you don't mind me asking? and yeah racism against white people really fucking rare.

  • yeah you can say whatever you want but you gonna understand the power that word has for some people. some people are fine with you saying it and others will fucking kill you if they hear you say it.

  • these forums are broken XD

    i can't see your comment here but its in my notifications. indian and italian? interesting. oh and you didn't respond to the other stuff i said.

  • If someone wants to go jail over something so petty, then they need a reality check.

  • oh man i'm sorry to hear that.

    well moving on after a death isn't easy for everyone. that and black people get killed for stupid shit. like we can doing nothing still get killed or beat-up or thrown in jail or something.

    Religion. We are all in this together.

  • uh...nah bro we're not all in this together. if we're not all being treated the same we're not all in this together.

    also i'd like if you would respond to me instead of constantly changing the topic.

  • No one is treated the same, the only people that get treated well are the people with money. I put in six years of my life into this country, i came back angrier/crazier than ever. Then i see politicians like Obama give up to the enemy, it makes me ill.

    Do you know what its like to know you risked your life for nothing, people died you know for nothing. Everything you suffered for was for nothing. White, Black, Mixed, Gay, Straight, all of us fought that war for nothing.

  • well duh...that war is bullshit dude. i'm 17 and i know that you should have known too. you didn't have to go you could have saved yourself all of pain and suffering if you didn't you go to fight in that war. they don't even draft anymore. it was your choice to fight in that war. know the risks before you jump into something like that.

  • Isn't the first person primarily talking about Zionists?

    Anti-Zionism is perfectly justifiable. Anti-Zionism and antisemitism are entirely seperate things; my best friend is Jewish and she loathes zionism.

    Am I now?

  • Yeah, but a lot of Anti-Zionists on the internet are just dumb people who use that term to hate on Jews, now I say some.

    Don't see why anyone would loathe us, I'm not going to talk about it now though because it's just so overdone, the internet has tired me from talking about it.

  • You can't really tell from the context that he was talking about every jew and not zionists but anyway.

    You don't see why anyone would loathe you? Are you referring to Jews or Zionists?

    I have no idea why people would loathe Jews specifically, unless they loathe all people who choose to be religious.

    Not seeing why anyone would loathe zionists is a bit silly thought, but I can't tell if that's what you meant. They're engaged in like the most controversial colonisation movement in a very long time at the moment.

  • I think he just hates Jews, as he said the guy is "Another Zionist bought and paid", just seems like it's more than just a political disagreement, because it's a very dumb thing to state.

    I would know that, as I am "Zionist", born in Israel and I see how things happened this summer, I don't find a reason to loathe my country.

  • Just because you don't hate your country doesn't mean there aren't any good reasons for other people to.

  • That's not what I meant, at all, I just don't agree with the criticism and hatred people have towards my government's actions.

  • Do you really think so?

    I think we'll get to a race and gender blind society, one day.

    I really do think it is, but I'm not trying to be negative, it's just how I see it, especially on the internet...

    I hope you're right..
