hey genius, African Americans are in America not Africa. in Africa there are.......*shocker*.......Africans.
For the record, there are African-Americans in Africa. IIRC, A significant fraction of the population of Liberia is descended from freed American slaves.

And those freed American slaves and their ancestors were from Africa. So even by the transitive property, they're just Africans, or Liberians to be exact.

So then the journalist is the racist and not the OP? Most people don't scour anything, they read the news.

Lol, my thoughts exactly. :thumbsup:

Sadly, ignorant cliches sell, because they appeal to the highly touted 12 year old male mindset.

That does not make them any less ignorant or any less stupid. :(

So I point out faux-racial outrage, and somehow my race gets put back on me in a derogatory manner.

It was like when the Black Panthers were standing outside voting booths on election day. Somehow it got flipped around to how white people are racist.

Discuss the topic. One-liners on race only prove my point.

Im not angry about anything. Im making fun of the victim mentality of people, and will continue to do so.

Replace "white" with the word "black" in every post that has mentioned white people in this thread, and it would be considered racist and you'd probably get banned.

Just because your average American is too stupid to see the double standard doesnt mean everyone is.

Now I get to call you a racist by calling them Africans.

Resident Evil 4 was filled with eastern european languages with poor white zombies.

Where's the cry of racism there?

No fucking double standards. Just say no to racism, no fucking double standards.

That right there is an example of "victim mentality". Somehow you only see the humor when someone else has it.

Here's a hypothetical: I post about a story about police and my commentary on it is that if the white people in it had been black, the black people would have been shot. By your standards isn't that a "victim mentality".

If so, how is what I bolded above not the same thing? Face it, you're exactly like the people you claim to "make fun of". Stop searching the internet for examples of "da man" holding you down, and concentrate on pulling yourself up.

You're not making any sense at all. The point is skin color doesn't matter, if it does you're racist. No double standards.

Nobody is holding anybody down. It's the victim mentality that will always hold the black man down, not "da man".

I made a made a perfectly sensical argument. If you couldn't understand it, that's an indictment of your own stupidity, not of my ability to make sense. Maybe you should stay away from subjects that confuse you. Even Ocguy understood my point, though he disagreed with it.

Also, by your bolded definition of racism, slaves were racist if they felt they were unfairly discriminated against because of their race. That makes your definition..... fucking stupid. Recognizing that racism exists does not make you a racist.

I was accurate with the word I used. Maybe most people don't scour the news, but ocguy31 does. He specifically looks for anything to do with white people being victims, or minorities claiming to be victims.

He himself wrote "Im making fun of the victim mentality of people, and will continue to do so." A simple search of his posts will prove him to somewhat obsessed with race and victimhood.

"Scour the news"? You mean Yahoo's home page today on that article?

Or how I had to "scour the news" to talk about the monkey cartoon?

The only reason you go back and forth on this is because you agree with them. You think a game that shows tribal Africans in AFRICA is racist.



Yea, I dig real deep. Im the next John Stossel.


Every time Al Sharpton or Jesse Jackson gets up to Grandstand and bash other races, I will point it out. Dont let it be a surprise.


I know your horse in this race. You cant act impartial.

When?

I am sick and fucking tired of the black man victim mentality, it will forever hold them down by their own culture. And you know what? Fuck them for having it, they deserve everything they get with that attitude. It's strange that the successful black guys I know want nothing to do with that? Wonder why.

*handclap* Nice attempt to distract from the fact that you're the white version of Al Sharpton, but the truth of it is still there. Tell me, what "other races" do Sharpton and Jackson bash? Please list them. You clearly have no motivation to defend "other races", only the white one.

Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson point out everytime that someone bashes black people. I'm not suprised when they do it, and I won't be suprised when you do it since you're exactly like them.

LOL! Look up the defintion of anti-semitism. You'll see their faces right next to the very definition.

Granted not a race, but those two are about as racist as they come.

Are you saying in the bolded part that the enslavement, transport, and murder of human beings was somehow justified? I find it odd you're still trying to justify slavery since it has no relevance in 2009.

I'm also sick and tired of the victim mentality. Strangely enough the white people I know that have a victim mentality aren't successful, same with hispanics. It seems like a true "victim mentality" will hold anybody back, regardless of race.

But according to your own definition, since you separate it into the "black man" victim mentality and not just the "victim mentality" in general, you are a racist. Your words were:

The point is skin color doesn't matter, if it does you're racist. No double standards.

So now that you devoted a paragraph to make it clear you're a racist and have a particular hate towards black people, why should anyone take you seriously?

Well at least you get that much. My point, and agreeing with the snippet, is the mentality is the problem, not the skin color. But then you get into culture of victimhood which is held in high regard and actively encouraged by blacks. People able to dismiss and discourage that magically wind up much better off no matter what color.

As this conversation has progressed you've become less logical, and more desperate to avoid a truth that's clear to all observers.

Now you've devolved to writing an entire post criticizing a viewpoint you dreamed up yourself. Just like all people who thrive on making themselves victims, you create a fantasy to argue against because you couldn't find a real one. Reminds me of Sharpton.

Just to be clear, are you admitting you're a racist, or are you changing your definition of racism to fit everyone except you.

I feel we can't go on until that question is answered.

Color of skin has never mattered to me and never will and that's an attitude I've held since a young man in the early 80s. What's really funny is I am the one living and fulfilling Dr. King's dream. That dream has been lost in black culture.

No double standards.

Content of your character is what counts.

Wow. You so don't get it. I mean, wow. WOW! You so don't get it. If you are black you are prolonging the mentality, if you are white you are suffering white guilt. From your responses I can only hazard a guess that you are black because that kind of racism and justification only comes from black folks, the most racist of all people.

The outrage should and does come from those that denounce racism and victim mentality.

the fact that you cant figure out if I am black or white, and I can tell you CLEARLY are white says something I think... I guess I don't get it... I just don't give a crap about the issue you are pushing. I am a white male American ... And I think you spend way too much time thinking about race, as if it matters... That is my same assesment of Al Sharpton.

I am not trolling or trying to bait you in anyway way here, but please, explain how all this faux reverse racial outrage is any better or less asinine than the Al Sharptonesque (ew... thats an ugly term) faux racial outrage? To me, you guys look at a situation, and think "now is that were about [insert race], it would have been different. ???
