maybe so, but that won't happen. Its just the way things are. I know a lot of people i served with, became law enforcement, security, after coming home. Its why these things happen imo, not because or racism.
If the PTSD keeps them from making quick, rational decisis in dangerous situations, they shouldn't join the police force.
Either way, there's too many meathead police with a gun and something to prove.
In the western world white people experience far far far less structural racism, because they're the ones who've always been in charge of the structure.

Yeah white people get everything, they took my JEB, they took my car, they took my dogs. They tried to take my guns/land so i would have
NOTHING LEFT.
As a mixed Native American, i have many beliefs that most people ridicule/mock, i just take it because what else can I do, in an intolerant society, that is tolerant to only certain demographics.

I can understand the allure of it for some people. After going overseas to fight for 1+ year It's hard to come back, turn that combat zone mentality off and go work a desk job or something.

I've heard it as someone who is crazy but not a gay slur. I honestly doubt a lot of people have, or when they use it they mean the crazy meaning not the slur, including Sargon.
Man cracker doesn't have as much power and history behind it as nigger does. It never will.
Hypocrisy in its finest,
How about th… moreis, if you don't want people being racist towards you, don't be racist towards others. Its funny how life works. I'm mixed, i'm not white, black. I am my own race, i don't fit in with anyone. Obviously.

since when do people have to prove racism doesn't exist? has anyone heard about burden of proof? negative statements? nobody?
that being … moresaid, how many pages before this becomes a thread about transgender issues? 3? 4?

When i first got back i got a job at Nationwide Insurance. I felt like i was crawling out of my skin working there. It didn't last long, eventually i was let go. Now i just work the farm, spend more time by myself and talk to my dogs.

More needs to be done to address this though.
there's still a lot of derogatory sterotypes out there depicting Irish people as drunk, lazy bums.
there's a derogatory stereotype about pretty much anything tbh, italians are fat midgets connected to organized crime, blacks chimp out and eat KFC, irishmen are drunkards, americans are obese gun nuts, jews are greedy, frenchs are sissies, etc
Speaking as a mostly Irish person myself, there is still a lot of racism against Irish people due to Anti-Irish sentiment (I should note tha… moret I'm not entirely Irish as my grandmother's grandmother was a subject of racism, so all of my family history on her side is lost, as my grandmother only knew her as a "Cherokee princess", which was a racist term used for Native Americans and even some African Americans because Cherokees were considered the least "savage" of the tribes and a princess would be someone a man "could bring home to his mother", so all I know about her is her first name and that she's likely Native American, or possibly even African American).
In the 19th and 20th century, there used to be a lot of discrimination against Irish people, so much so that the term "no Irish need apply" came into use. The racism against the Irish is institutionalized just as racism against people of African decent (sometimes no blacks and no Iris… [view original content]
That's an unfortunate attitude; wanting whites do more in promoting racial equality, while scorning them when they try to get involved. You can't have it both ways. I say take the help you're given.
I feel like maybe they wanted it only be black people at the rally. I'm sure you've heard if the white savior complex. Maybe they thought it was that kind of situation.
If the goal of the creator of this video was to be as annoying as possible, they did a fantastic job. I only watched about half of it, because she wasn't actually making any real points. Being over the top sarcastic and obnoxious isn't a great selling point.
People need to understand that when someone denies racism, they aren't meaning to say that it is entirely non-existent. Of course racism exists. There are some shitty people in the world, some of which are going to hate someone based on their ethnicity. Pretty much no one would deny this. When someone tries to argue that racism is not an issue, they're doing so in the sense that it is not an issue that still has a hold on the nation. Racism will likely never be completely wiped out in my opinion, but that doesn't mean there is something wrong with the country/ we still need to act like everyone that isn't white is oppressed.
Just a question, Can we please get a Mod on this thread? Because a lot of these comments have taken things to far. You can at least end some conversations in here, But there are quite a few awful things being said here, That I think Nobody apriciates.

Well, for example, The conversation between you and Duck_was his son. It was already getting out of control, But then he decided to start being super offensive to you, and others. The Sarcastic posts, the cursing, It's all a bit too much in a thread For a Forum about Loving video games and discussing Calm topics, don't you think?

He did get offensive and insulting, and we got a mod in here to warn him and remove the issue and then the debate/argument/discussion...whatever you want to call it, continued and finished.
The Sarcastic posts
Jokes are important, especially when discussing topics like this where violent arguments can spring out of nothing. There are few sarcastic posts, and even if they are sarcastic, they still bring up important points.
the cursing
I didn't know we weren't allowed to curse. In fact, we can, as long was we aren't directly insulting people with slurs and other offensive words. A little "fuck" here and there never hurt anyone.
It's all a bit too much in a thread For a Forum about Loving video games and discussing Calm topics, don't you think?
No, I don't think so. In fact, we are in the part of the Forum where we discuss all sorts of issues. This isn't just about video games in the Telltale Talk section and neither are calm subjects. There are issues we can discuss on public forums, this is far from the worst thing to affect the forums...So, let us discuss these issues, and having the mods close discussions just because they aren't being totally nice, is a little annoying. You don't have to discuss this with us, you can totally ignore it.

Alright, great, I like to ask people that question and you'll be surprised how many say all cops are bad. It makes me mad, people don't realize there are bad and good people in each career and group and everything.

I believe that, you did get rude in that conversation but only once or twice while standing by your views. I never thought you were a dick, nor have I said that.

Wow man I'm sorry to hear that. Like seriously that was the craziest shit I've ever heard. I wish things could have been easier for her.
Now I have to ask where you live.

i haven't either
is it an american thing? like fag (who means cigarette in the british caliphate)?
You fit in with your "own race" which is mixed, there are probably billions of people like you.
I think it's a mix of that and racism.
I've never heard used to call some crazy. It doesn't even really make sense to me. But yeah its a gay slur.
Yeah I think so
You have a sense of humor I see.

@Aaira
That's weird because i'm American and none of my friends or family think it's a slur.
there's a derogatory stereotype about pretty much anything tbh, italians are fat midgets connected to organized crime, blacks chimp out and eat KFC, irishmen are drunkards, americans are obese gun nuts, jews are greedy, frenchs are sissies, etc

well sargon is from englistan so he probably doesn't ave a clue
I have a question for you, do you think all cops are racist or just a few?
He didn't say it's not your decision...?
Ugh... I know he didn't. I never implied he did. I was just stating it.
I am. I hate white people. So technically, Not "Nobody" is hating them. However, I'm white myself, so it doesn't count.

No.
