i believe that our world is actually very racist towards white people. Sure, racism exists with other races, but whites are being more 'racist against' than a lot of people think. Everyone thinks that white people are racist towards everyone, but really, white people are deprived of a lot of things that other races have.

i have a lot of examples to back that up, but i want everyone else to explain their reasons first.


Now debate!


here are my rules for this forum.

-a racial slur will only be allowed if and only if it is not used as an insult, or directed as such. it has to be in quotes in order to be said, to ensure that it is not discriminatory.

-everyone has an opinion, if you disagree, give good reasons as to why.

-no behavior that is unacceptable (excessive insulting, harassment, or spamming) and if i see any then i will report it to Alex, formally known as redcar, one of the sites Administrators.



you may request more rules, and if i think that they are legit, then i will ad them to this list.

I guess those are more of standards. I see them as ok, just don't enforce them too much! People might feel unconfortable.

I have a very neutral point on racism. I don't like the stereotypes used alot, and I don't use them. I have alot of black friends and I myself am asian, which I get alot of comments.
I don't like the name calling either. But racism is a very small part of my life and I don't think about it alot.

Racism occurs to every race. Black on white, white on black, Mexican on black, etc

To say racism only happens to a particular group only is wrong.

This world is very racist and it occurs with all races not exlcusive to one.
Now personally I have never experienced any racism myself seeing as Ireland is about 95% white. But I know it happens.
But its disguisting and so low to judge people on the colour of their skin. People who do that absolutly no time for.

I see where you are coming from with the whole White's being discriminated aginst. But it's generally white americans. Since some people do use racial terms, many other minorities think we all say those bad things.

Then there are some people of other races (where I'm from it's Blacks [not to be mean] that go around calling whites, whiteys. Is that not mean or discriminating?

I'm sorry if I offended anyone with the gererally comments, but this is just how I see it

I'm a White Jewish American. I think racism as a whole is in two words: ignorant, and immature.

Yeah, kids at my school (despite the fact that my town is 80% Jewish, including me, although I consider myself atheist) go around making fun of jews. They draw swastikas, and pretend to worship Hitler, it bothers me, despite the fact that I really don't focus on my religion, it still pisses me off, because some of these people who are being racist are jews themselves, including one of my soon-to-be ex-friends. I think though, that we as whites give people reason to be racist against us. There are more of us, and a lot of those in power are racist, or only enrich people of their own social status, wealth, race, and religion. Bush is a perfect example, there is actually an organization trying to overthrow Bush claiming that the government with him in command is faith-based, which is illegal, i.e. Separation of Church and State, and he also shows more respect to those that are white and wealthy, as do other members of the administration. When role models, or people of "higher class" discriminate, followers or fans may do the same, or may be discriminated against for liking a prejudice person. A white insults a black, and he's the only white the black knows, the black is going to hate any white he sees, thinking the white is like the other white he knows. Its how society works, its how it worked, and its how it always will work. Sadly, there's no cure for prejudice, its just an epidemic thats very contagious, spreading hurt and shame across the world.

I don't think its mean. You just referred African Americans as black so what's the difference with whitey?

Bobby

Well you get the point. I mean whitey, I don't find it offending, but it's racism. But I think Black is better than other things I could have used.

Calling someone whitey isn't racism. In no way is it saying blacks are better than whites. It's just a nickname.

March 13th, 2007, 05:01 PM
Also, calling someone black is not racist, in Africa black-Africans can't really be referred to as anything else. Calling someone African is too vague, as there are Arab-Africans, White Africans, Black-Africans, etc. Sometimes Black-Africans are called Native-Africans, but aren't Arab-Africans and White-Africans native to Africa too? So to get my point through, most of the time calling someone black or white is not offensive, but pending how it is used, "whitey" could be offensive. Someone doesn't have to use a word with intent to cause harm for it to harm someone, just remember that Anthony. Some may take offense to being called whitey, even if it is said sarcastically, they will see it as sardonic, or hurtful.

You pass me on the street and sneer in my direction. You call me (EDITED FOR VT) and that's OK.

But when I call you, (EDITED FOR VT) you call me a racist.

You say that whites commit a lot of violence against you, so why are the ghettos the most dangerous places to live?

You have the United Negro College Fund.
You have Martin Luther King Day.
You have Black History Month.
You have Cesar Chavez Day.
You have Yom Hashoah
You have Ma'uled Al-Nabi
You have the NAACP.
You have BET.

If we had WET(White Entertainment Television) we'd be racists.
If we had a White Pride Day you would call us racists.
If we had White History Month, we'd be racists.
If we had any organization for only whites to "advance" our lives, we'd be racists.

We have a Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, a Black Chamber of Commerce, and then we just have the plain Chamber of Commerce.
Wonder who pays for that?

If we had a college fund that only gave white students scholarships, you know we'd be racists. There are over 60 openly proclaimed Black Colleges in the US, yet if there were "White Colleges" that would be a racist college.

In the Million Man March, you believed that you were marching for your race and rights. If we marched for our race and rights, you would call us racists.

You are proud to be black, brown, yellow and orange, and you're not afraid to announce it. But when we announce our white pride, you call us racists.

You rob us, carjack us, and shoot at us. But, when a white police officer shoots a black gang member or beats up a black drug-dealer running from the law and posing a threat to society, you call him a racist.

I am proud. But, you call me a racist.

Wait why are we americans? Just because someone has dark-colored skin, does not mean they're african. You can't classify us as americans... I guess we're caucasian-americans? Or english-americans? Calling us americans and the rest african-americans, arab-americans, etc. makes them sound like they are only half american, aren't they as american as we are? If you live in America you are American, and as I said, calling someone an african-american can be considered prejudice, I called a dark-colored skin kid at my school an african-american, and he got pissed because he's not from Africa. To call someone african-American, unless you know of their heritage, is seemingly prejudice, as they could be from Jamaica or Brazil, or a myriad of other places. Just my opinion, but it makes us sound dominant by not having a prefix in front of american. We're the "Americans", but they're just the African-Americans or Mexican-Americans, they can go sulk in the shadows...

YES! FINALLY! SOMEBODY SAID IT!!!


Racism is actually, contrary to the popular belief, VERY GOOD! Now, many readers say, "omgz, he should be banned with that behavior!"

Definition of Race:

A group of people with common similarities (actions, physical characteristics, or thoughts, etc.)


and now, i will proudly say, that i am racist. yes, i am racist. This is one group that i am racist towards: NAMBLA. The North American Man-Boy Love Association. why am i racist towards them? well, only because grown men have sex with young boys and i am firmly against that. now, if you think i am a horrible person because of that, then you have some very weird problems to work out.

i can tell you right now, that i am not racist towards any ethnic group, i have good friends of many different ethnicities. Many people think that racism only means ethnic relation...but obviously, as i have explained, that racism can be meant for any group of people.


Theres that argument, now moving on...

Everyone says that white people dont need to have special days because every day is "white" day. That is not true. Every un-special day is just a normal day. Ever heard of the Holocaust? 70% of the people killed were white and many white people had to strive to survive, why dont we have a national White Survival Day? Or how about the Irish, Alex already stated that 95% of the Irish are white, and back in the 1800's, many of the Irish were murdered because of the potatoes. in the 1800's, potatoes became famined, and everyone blamed the Irish. Whites had to strive to survive, why dont we have White Survival Day?

If there were a white anything, millions of people would complain and say that its unfair...do you know what is unfair? Having other ethnic group days, and not having equally important White days.

See, i know that other ethnic groups had to strive to survive, and that they had earned their 'special days'. But, Whites have earned it too. Letting other ethnic groups have days, and not whites is racist itself.

I doubt it. Just no one has made an effort to start one. That's a generalization.
If we had a White Pride Day you would call us racists.
Since when is there a black pride day? I never heard of one.
If we had White History Month, we'd be racists.
The thing is, whites never had a whole government oppress them of rights and had honorable people fight for equal rights. People like Martin Luther King and others should be honored for what they did. If you want a white history month, write to your representative to get it changed instead of bitching you don't have one. Black people actually did fight for these kinds of recognitions so why can't you?
If we had any organization for only whites to "advance" our lives, we'd be racists.
Go ahead and start one!
In the Million Man March, you believed that you were marching for your race and rights. If we marched for our race and rights, you would call us racists.
hahahaha you can't compare the two. white people were definitely privledged at the time than blacks. everything was seperated. they had a reason to fight and still do. what's your reason? No one is stopping you from marching!
You rob us, carjack us, and shoot at us. But, when a white police officer shoots a black gang member or beats up a black drug-dealer running from the law and posing a threat to society, you call him a racist.
Eh? You are complaining that black people are generalizing white's as racists but here you are generalizing black people rob and carjack. Hypocrite.
Why is it that only whites can be racists?
Anyone can be a racist. It all comes down to the inividiual

While I agree with your points Anthony;

Saying "C******" in front of a police officer will probably get nothing (unless directed at the officer in question)
Saying "N*****" in front of him, rascism and verbal abuse charges, right there.


"Anyone can be a racist. It all comes down to the inividiual"

Very true in an IDEALIST reality. However in ours, due to our past we're still held accountable. White people just simply can't get away with it as much as others.

Ex: White Employer needs to fill a spot at his job.
A white man tries for the job and is much more suited for it then any other applicant.
A black woman tries for the job, the man hires her in fear of being called a rascist.

You may think this absurd, but not only have I observed it happen, I've had it happen against me.

Is the employer being rascist? YES, he is.
Does a fear of rascism cause us to in turn, be rascist? Yes.

Therefore, I don't care what colour a person is, if they need insulted or turned down, they get it.

Hate and love equally ^^

The thing is, white people generally aren't the type to speak out of racism. Generally whites don't care. White people response to this proves it. For example a video of Ray Nagin (http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-6678064773133151531&q=ray+nagin+chocolate+city).

If Ray Nagin was white and said New Orleans is a vanilla city and he "don'â„¢t care what people are saying uptown or wherever they are, this city will be vanilla at the end of the day" he definitely would be forced to resign and the response would be big.

If white people made more efforts about racism toward them and spoke out against it things could possibly change. Like I said earlier white people don't care generally or feel that they can only be racist.

To make a change you have to speak out against it.

omfg..the world is not racist to white people....whites are the racists...i recoginze that racism exists..among all races..but whites are definately the mainstream racists on the universal scale....for example:

White families is some parts of Africa (Namibia, S. Africa..etc) practice indentured servitude...the whites own the houses...but the native blacks do all the work to maintain the houses for a small price...life

In the United States, white proprietors have made it a point to practice racial profiling...if one is a dark skinned, thick bearded, taliban hat wearing person at an airport...tsa officials are all over him...furthermore, the kkk is minimally active in the states...

In Europe...its the same dang thing...racial profiling....of course it's only the blacks, hispanics and middle eastern people who get the looks

South America and Asia do not make up any percentage of white racisim...mainly because there are no white people there...all the natives are oriental or south american...duh..

As for Austrailia...aren't the aborigonies...native people of dark color...outcasts in a predominatly white society...oh btw..the white gov of Austrailia has not made any attempts to include the aborigonies in their governmental functions.

Had you read any of this thread, your points would've gone unspoken. People are rascists to white, hell you're living proof as to the ignorance on the matter.

In S.Africa, that was the cause, about 20-30 years back, now they pay them a very little amount. An amount nonetheless.
And if you really want to bring that up, it's not rascism, it's capitalist countries taking advantage of third world countries, race doesn't affect poverty.

You said it, the kkk is MINIMALLY active, rascists exist in every group of the world, the kkk just seem to be the most famous. TSA officials are all over everyone. I was flying into the airport of L.A. and got pulled aside while a turbaned individual went infront of me. Rascism? No. Random searches, yes.

The europe claim of "looks". If someone is different from you, you look. FACT. The difference is how you act upon seeing this individual. But you're right, Europe does have rascists, JUST LIKE EVERY OTHER COUNTRY.

YOU DID NOT BRING UP ASIA. Asia is extremely rascist, to other asians. And their are a LOT of white people in Asia, hell look at Japan, business HQ anyone? I know people from Vietnam who won't speak to Koreans at our school, even though both were born of Canada.

The Australia comment, he doesn't include them in the meetings or attempt to because as far as I last recall, the aboriginals not only make up only a small portion of the society, but also stick to their own business.

sorry if my post offended anyone, I may be a little rant-ish today.

First refutation...I'm white; so, I can't be racist toward whites. Rather, I can have hate of my race, which I don't. This is because; racial hatred against one's own race is not interpreted as racism. According to several dictionaries, including the Oxford, racism is defined as 'distinguishing people from a race as inferior or superior to another race or races.' The key word that makes the distinction is 'another.' Furthermore, I don't believe that I am ignorant to the matter, for in my first post, I clearly stated that 'I recognize that racism exists among all races.'

Second refutation...Regardless, white families in Namibia, an African nation, still practice indentured servitude. You said it, 'the whites pay them little'. That's exactly what indentured servitude is, slave labor for pay. Furthermore, I traveled to Namibia for one month in the summer. I saw the social injustices first hand. The whites have the power there, while the blacks toil for enough pay to barely get by. By the way, I never said race effects poverty, mainly because you cannot equate race with poverty.

Third refutation...You further reinforced my point, 'the KKK is minimally active in the United States.' This further proves that whites are racists. So, what was your point in attacking my well known and generally accepted postulation? Second, TSA officials are at airports to moderate safe air travel. If the towel head in front of you was able to proceed, he obviously passed the security test facilitated by metal detectors and x-ray machines. You unfortunately failed the test. That is why you were pulled over for further examination. Furthermore, racial profiling is racism, for it is one type of racially biased policing. Racially biased policing includes practices that induce discriminatory treatment toward racial and ethnic minorities, not whites. This further correlates with my statements about Europe.

Forth refutation...Again, I agreed that racism exists among the races. Furthermore, Asians are not characterized as whites. They are Asian, not the North American European and Australian white folk.

Fifth refutation...Australia's government commits a fashion of passive racism, for they do not make any attempt to include the native, black Aborigines.

My point in the argument is to prove that whites are racist. It is basically a refutation of the very first post, which claims that whites are being ‘more racist against.’

In response to your first paragraph, ok, you originally had a different tone, I see your point now.

Second (re-refutation? lol) I know, I didn't state colour defines wealth, but I'm stating I don't see why you brought up that point when it isn't rascism, it's wealth. They would treat 3rd-world white people the same.

3rdly, I never stated whites AREN'T rascist, you just originally coming off as saying ONLY WHITES ARE RASCIST, but now your point seems to have changed.

and in response to "If the towel head in front of you was able to proceed, he obviously passed the security test facilitated by metal detectors and x-ray machines. You unfortunately failed the test."

You claimed racial profiling, which means STOPPING AT RANDOM. I passed the test, they searched me. He passed the test they didn't. Meaning no racial profiling there! Because it's done at random, or at suspicion.

4th, I never said asians are white. Tons of WHITE, as in american/england/australian/canadian people, live in Asia. Hell, half of them are stationed as military, the other half business in japan.

Fifth refutation, it's not really rascism if the group could care less if they're involved? It's like if we had a soccer match, and jewish people openly said "we don't really care for soccer", not inviting them, isn't rascism.

What do you mean by americans? I think that if you are reffering to white people as just americans then that is racist becuse everyone that live in america is american and technically the NATIVE AMERICANS are only the true americans
also everyone can be racist
black people are racist too if you think about it

everything you just said has already been covered. Someones already brought up all your points, and I've already stated where the thing is from.

Whites are discriminated against. Black are discriminated against. Latino's are discriminated against. Asaian's are discriminated against. Shall i keep going? Everyone is, has always been, and will probably always be discriminated against. I do agree that whites aren't pointed out as much for being discriminated against though we are very much so discriminated against

to add on to what theonetheycallbob said I agree as well to the fact that whites r discriminated against even though its usually kept in the shadows. Society when the subject of racism comes up stereotypes white people as the automatic wrongdoers based on historic events. That's exactly why whites r discriminated against so much, because of those past events other races sometimes use racism as payback which leads to a never ending circle of racism, hate, and distance between races. All races should be put on the same field as to take fault for racial slurs or beinng put down by racism.

Heh, im rascist. If black people didn't follow their stereotypes so well maybe i wouldn't be.
Nearly every black is poor, asians are usually smart, americans are fat.
its horrible, but everyone knows its the truth.

it's racist people who make minorities feel like they have to follow those stereotypes. although minorities are now starting to participate in social mobility, although it is still hard for them. so we aren't seeing them follow those stereotypes as much anymore. racism is really just an excuse to hate people. it's ridiculous, actually.

im racist too. be proud everyone. if you arent racist by the way, then you are a terrible person.


im racist, but not towards ethnic groups, but im racist towards the KKK, and NAMBLA (North American Man-Boy Love Association)

if you think that im bad for being racist, then it is actually you who is the bad one.

You're extremely thick.

Sorry to be rude but from the racism and the homosexual thread, you're leaking stupidity everywhere. Hating a group or organization is NOT RACISM. I'm not even sure about what the word would be, but the KKK are not A RACE.

this is great. both of you are wrong.

let me also start this post off by saying that you are terrible people for not agreeing with me. i cant believe that you arent racist towards NAMBLA! thats disgusting, i cant believe you!

anyways.

race: a group of people with common similarities

racism: not liking a person, or thing because of its race

this means that the KKK is a race, because it is a group of people with common similarities. ethnic groups are also a race, but you two, along with other stupid thinking people, think that a race is only ethnic groups.


by the way, you two should be banned for not being racist towards NAMBLA, and the KKK, and other similar groups. thats terrible.

i do not agree with affirmative action. it is such a stupid idea, that a college, or company (, etc.) has to accept/hire a certain number of a race, and exclude other members from a different race that might excel better at the desired attributes.
