STFU, you drunken patty trash. Go crawl back into your pint, fool.

I guess its impossible to be racist if your black too,right? By creating a thread like this and with the title,your only contradicting yourself. Fuck off.

This is real simple:

It is never, ever OK to be racist - anyone, any time for any reason.

See, told you it was simple!

so blame the fuckin thugs, not for creating the hate, but for giving racists and assholes legitimate gripes and thus masking the bullshit..

I agree. Plus, it makes it seem "okay" to use derogatory language when the most popular (by record sales volumes) rap music denegrates women of color and uses the "N" word. Blame it on the people who continue to live the stereotypes rather than change the images.
Plus...add to the confusion by saying "we want to be treated as equal", BUT we want to be recognized for our ethnicity. HUH? Why have affirmitive action? Why not take the most qualified person for the job? White, Black, Mexican, man, woman, transgender...

Why can't we all just BE and not have stupid shittin' labels? My ex says she's african american...her family is from Cuba. VERY confusing. WHO CARES? I say let's all just be good people and not worry about this crap! The more you bitch about it the more you give it life!

If you stop getting your "impressions of black america" from BET (which is owned by whites) and MTV videos then you might actually learn something. That would be like me watching Jerry Springer and the other lame daytime shows and saying that is what whites are all about.

You're right, it would be great of the most qualified person got the job but plain and simple that just isn't how the world works. I am not a fan of Mike Huckabee but he seems to be one of few white people who can see both sides of an issue:

As easy as it is for those of us who are white to look back and say, "That's a terrible statement," I grew up in a very segregated South, and I think that you have to cut some slack. And I'm going to be probably the only conservative in America who's going to say something like this, but I'm just telling you: We've got to cut some slack to people who grew up being called names, being told, "You have to sit in the balcony when you go to the movie. You have to go to the back door to go into the restaurant. And you can't sit out there with everyone else. There's a separate waiting room in the doctor's office. Here's where you sit on the bus." And you know what? Sometimes people do have a chip on their shoulder and resentment. And you have to just say, I probably would too. I probably would too. In fact, I may have had ... more of a chip on my shoulder had it been me.
