What's wrong with being racist anyway? like, who cares.......?

Of course not, why am I not shocked that you don't buy the correlation between slavery and blacks today. Why would anyone that sympathizes with WNs try to understand the "WHY" or "CAUSE" for justifying how they feel about blacks?

That's like trying to understand why fat kids like cake.

 

Amen!!!

 

So don't go to effing Mexico City, Lagos, or Bangkok. People that experience racism in their own communities don't have that luxury.

However, on being a bigot - go for it. You're free to think what you wish. Just don't put your thoughts into action unless you're prepared to accept the consequences.

 

In this country, educated black men who respect the law and work hard still get shaken down by cops simply for being black. That's the reality.

Slavery was brought into this country in 1619, and with the exception of just a couple of decades, blacks have continuously been on the receiving end of blatant racism. But you expect an overnight turnaround to 400 years of abuse. Amazing.

 

No reasonable person does. No reasonable person "buys the correlation" between my Irish, English, Welsh, Scottish and maybe even African and Cherokee ancestors, and things that occurred centuries ago as such relates to my life today in 2014. If I tried to claim some special status based on the fact that some of my ancestors came here involuntarily as indentured servants or debtors, I'd feel like a total idiot. Every American has slavery or the equivalent in their heritage if one goes back far enough, and acknowledging that as the distant past to be left in the past has nothing to do with some "attitude about blacks," but basic common sense.

Blacks have a reasonable gripe about discrimination that occurred up through the 60s provided they personally or their parents suffered from it, but we now have 50 years of affirmative action and equivalent pushing that reality farther into the past every day, and most blacks today don't suffer from any particular racism or discrimination at all, quite the opposite. The reasonable correlation between problems in the black community AND THE DEPENDENT WHITE COMMUNITY involves the War on Poverty, and ends there. That DIRECT CAUSE of crushing dependency and social problems is a product of our government as a whole, not partisan politics. Where partisanship comes in is the constant gov-edu-union-contractor-grantee-lawyer-MSM Complex appeals to racism where there is none, to fueling fires of resentment that lead to consequences of Zimmerman, Ferguson, "Can't breathe" BS, and civil unrest. THAT'S a function of partisan politics, and the responsibility for it lies directly and ONLY on the left Complex.

The left is fond of "my people" or "my group" appeals that are fallacious. MY group includes ME and my immediate family. Does the fact that I have suffered individual detriment from affirmative action allow me personally to complain? Yes. Does it allow me to extend to some "group" that hasn't been discriminated against based on immutable characteristics alone? No.

 

You're partically correct in saying most blacks don't suffer from governmental racism or discrimination anymore, but 10 minutes on an online forum with conservatives says otherwise (you forget the recent thread about the "1000" black girls fighting and where they were called monkeys?) Your Irish, Welch, Scottish, and etc. ancestors may have been discriminated when they first got here, but please show the systematic governmental oppression in housing, jobs, education, and just in general douchbaggery directed towards them just for being Welch, or Scottish. Was there a "one drop" rule in effect for them? False equivalency is what you are trying to do here.

 

Are you really unaware of hibernophobia? Haven't heard of No Irish Need Apply? That the irish were white negroes? That they are a bararous, vile and filthy race? Blacks weren't the only victims of discrimination. And yes, they were called monkeys. This picture here refers to "Mr. G O'rilla".

 

And the blacks should remember the thousands of whites who fought and died to free them from slavery. Then there was a white man who called for the abolishment of slavery, his name was Abraham Lincoln.

 

LOL 1.10 minutes on youtube will give one the impression that half the country are illiterate devil worshippers. 2. A question I know in advance you won't even answer or acknowledge, because it invalidates your favorite rationale for posting, is that there are FOUR THOUSAND POSTS to this forum every day. By my estimate, any racist content is a tiny fraction of 1% of those, which is remarkable in these times given all the race-mongering by the Complex's MSM arm. I'm amazed there aren't more racist posts on a forum like this purely as backlash to leftist race-carding.

So, the question is, am I wrong or right that only a tiny % of posts to this forum contain racist content?

As far as -my- ancestors being oppressed? Well a big chunk of them came over here as effectively personal property against their will, and for all I know there are black slaves and Indians in my heritage as well. I doubt those ancestors of mine were allowed to sit and eat at the indenture holder's table, marry his children, etc. Going back further, my ancestors were oppressed by the British (or were the British oppressors lol) and likely by chieftains in their own clans, tribes, villages. If not they were subject to conscription, impress and general mayhem at the whim of elites. But this is all irrelevant. You skip entirely the point that WHAT MATTERS IS MY LIFE, how I AM TREATED in the NOW, not how someone 100 years ago was treated.

 

So, they were considered "white negro", but now are they considered the same? I wonder what they did to deserve the discrimination....there only seems to be one race called a monkey today....

 

Look up the most dangerous cities in US and you will see a trend - most crimes committed by blacks and immigrants. Blacks are under the gun mostly because of their criminal behavior, not just because of the color of their skin. It's unfortunate but it's the truth. It's akin to how some Muslims are perceived because of how some fanatics become terrorists.

A white couple walking down the street may be intimidated by a black man wearing his jeans on his knees; wearing a do-rag on their head, and rapping out loud. Why is that? Some will call it racism but it's not the color of their skin, it's how they dress and act. Believe or not, some black men actually think being a thug is cool.

There needs to be a movement in the African American community where they focus on the real issues - The state of the black family. A criminal is brought into this world when his or her parents are in prison, are drug addicts, prostitutes, lack education and instill no morals or values in their kids. The white man has nothing to do with this. You can blame this on racism 500 years ago but this isn't going to solve the problem is it? Instead of blaming racism, try and do something about how parents raise their kids in these crime infested thug breeding grounds. The black crime is out of control and blacks' biggest threat is blacks themselves.

 

yes, LOL. That you prefer to argue against me on what is proven here on a daily basis, but rather stay quiet like a mouse on other posts that calls black people monkeys. If there ever was a more obvious case of showing true intentions, it's that.

What's next for your act, saying blacks deserved to be slaves? Give up the charade.

 

Your short essay, just described Barack Obama, Eric Holder, Julian Bond and Al Sharpton to the tee.

 

Amen to that, Brother!! Well said!!

 

I see, so you are going to race-card me with no justification for it whatsoever for all in the thread to see. Stench of desperation and perfect, no further comment necessary.

 

What you're suggesting is just stupid.

See you at my 'ignore' list.

 

Well, by definition, you won't be "seeing" anyone "at your ignore list," but OK. I feel really deprived and chastened. Nice reasoning on the "stupid calling" btw, I hadn't thought of that salient point, and will give it the consideration it deserves.

 

Indeed!!

Watching people do that dance that they believe justifies their denial of racism and its effects, has almost become entertaining. Still, I take it as serious business. Racists (just like good people) prove themselves simply by being who they are.

 

HAHAHA, justification is in your posts, guy. It's as obvious as the nose on a face.

EDIT to add: the fact you said "race-card" further proves my point.

 

The OP called me a Nazi, even though he thinks its ok to be racist.

 

Yes, they were considered to be on the same level as black people, and they were treated as such. Hibernophobia was a very real thing indeed.

as for why people hated the irish, I suppose it's because they were catholics and most others were protestants, and that the americans inherited the english attitude towards the irish. I guess the irish also drank a bit too much alcohol.

 

You got whupped on a loser argument, "slavery in the now," so tossing out the race-card at someone you don't even know, without even bothering to cite any supposed objectionable content in any of my posts. Sorry, this isn't the leftist echo chamber bullhorn inquisition, Torquemada Sharpton, and you only make yourself look more and more weak and pathetic for all to see by pretending it is.

 

An African-American gentleman entered our establishment today wearing a Confederate flag ball cap. Does that make him a racist?
Enjoy!

 

So in other words, it was because they were different and not because of their actions......where have I seen that happen before?

- - - Updated - - -

You seem to be upset, maybe you should take a break and have a cigarette or something. LoL, Torquemada Sharpton. What happened? You sound mad, is it because what your grandpappy always told you haven't panned out?

 

(My bold)

Nah, the North wanted to maintain the Union. Slavery eventually became the shorthand for the reason the war was fought, but it certainly wasn't the reason that the Union soldiers signed up (or were drafted, or paid someone to go in their stead). Lincoln was ambivalent about slavery - he's quoted as saying that his main concern was preserving the Union - & that slavery was a distraction from the main concern.

He didn't like slavery, he would have preferred to buy out Black slaves' contracts & offer them transport to African colonies set up for the purpose. But he didn't call for the abolishment of slavery prior to the Civil War, nor did that become a war aim until years in - & then it was an economic/political blow @ the South, rather than a concern for the souls & well-being of the Black slaves in the South (note the wording of the Emancipation Proclamation - it only affected slaves in the states then in rebellion - not anywhere else).

Of course, this line of argument would carry more weight if the Black slaves hadn't been hunted down, chained, housed, sold, transported, & then worked to death or worse - by Black & Caucasian slavers. Granted that the US South was a minor player in the Black slave trade - it was still the reason that these slaves were brought to the US.
