Explain to me why my statement sounded like it was made by a Poster Boy for Affirmative Action Evan?

This is the part that started sounding like you advocate affirmative action:

"Minority Racists are a small threat to most of us. They don't prevent us from being gainfully employed, they don't prevent us from aquiring a place to live and for the most part they are just some voices and pictures we see and hear on TV. They are much less of a threat to America than White Racists who are a major threat."

Other than that part I agree completely with your post. 🙂

Still don't see the correlation betwenn my post and affirmative action and I still stand by that statement. If more Minorities were in a position of power (In the Government, CEO's of Companies,etc..) then racism on their parts would be more of a threat to the majority of us. I never intended to portray racism on their parts as acceptable and I also did mention that Minorities using the Race Card is just another form of racism, probably the most blatant form they use.

As John John so anally pointed out, my grammatical skills suck so if I led you to believe that Racism by the Minorities was acceptable then I apologize.

It wasn't your grammar, I just thought that was the intention of your last post. Now I understand what you are saying and it makes sense. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

You don't get around much do you. I think racism from Blacks is more socially accepted but I can assure you that there are Whites who are every much as racist if not more than Blacks. Of course the higher degree of racist attitude a person has usually coincides with a lower education level they attain. Racism exists for the most part because of people blaming others for their situation which is usually do to their own actions or inactions.

But, black people can be racist - and very few people will say much about it. However, if a white person is a racist, then the spotlight is placed solidly on them. 😉

Yup, it's all a double-standard.

Well White Racist need to be shunned as do Black Racist. It's not Ok for Whites to be racist because there are Blacks who are racist. The most flagrant form of Black Racism is when they label all Whites as racists. Of course one of the things White Racists do is constantly say that there are more Black Racists than White Racists. Maybe there is a higher percentage of Blacks who are racists (I do'nt no of any statistics that would back that up) but by sheer numbers and as evident here at ATOT, there are more whites who are racist.

The reason why the White racist are more noticable or at least condemn more is because they actually are detested fervently by the majority which happens to be white. It's because the whites make a bigger deal out of white Racism than they do out of Black, Asian or Hispanics who are racist. Are you dissapointed that White Racist are rightfully criticized by the Majority of Whites. Do you think we should cut them some slack?

Minority Racists are a small threat to most of us. They don't prevent us from being gainfully employed, they don't prevent us from aquiring a place to live and for the most part they are just some voices and pictures we see and hear on TV. They are much less of a threat to America than White Racists who are a major threat.

I'm sorry, I'm honestly not trying to be a jerk here, but that post was way too full of typos and run-ons to be comprehendable. You had me for awhile, but about the 2nd paragraph I couldn't understand what you were saying...

Hmm... Sorry to have offended your senses with my poor grammatical skills. Maybe if you would pull your head out of your pompous ass and give what I posted another try without being so anal about my typing and grammatical errors you might see my train of thought.

Wouldn't it be nice if I had your grammatical skills and you had my deductive ability to see things for what they really are?

Uh-oh, I think I made someone a little defensive...😉

See, I knew you were going to say something like that, which is why I tried so hard to say that I meant nothing by it when I said I couldn't understand you. Apparently, regardless of grammar, you can't seem to understand that.

I couldn't understand your post. I'm not attacking your intelligence. I'm not attacking you at all. I read your post 3 times and didn't get it. If you'd care to re-word it, I'd love to read it. If not, then I guess I'll have to be without the blessings of your wisdom.

Well johnjohn320, it seems that you are the only one who couldn't understand it because of my run on sentences and typos. It really doesn't matter though as I doubt you would have added anything worthwhile to this conversation. Being sheltered all your life actually has made you rather uninteresting. The best you usually can come up with is whining about your recitals or complaining because your friend has a better recording studio than you do. We shouldn't expect you to come up with an insightful comment regarding race relations.

I suppose it's a good thing I don't base my self-esteem around what little pictures and text messages on the internet have to say about me.

I'm sorry I couldn't understand your rambling. And I'm sorry you think I would have nothing to contribute. And I'm especially sorry to think that you can call someone "sheltered" and judge them so well having never met them in your life.

I say that minority racism is harmless (maybe not in this thread), and no one believes me. Red Dawn says the same thing then explains his undecipherable grammar, and everyone is like "oh ok you are right, mr smartay man". 🙂

Umm... he did not say minority racism was harmless...

Yes you are about as sorry as they get.

It's bad Ju Ju Mon!! Perhaps if I had corrected my undecipherable grammar you might have been able to see that I didn't call it harmless, just less of a threat than White Racism due to certain circumstances that I tried to explain with my undecipherable grammar 🙂

Uh, good one? You're gonna judge a person that you've never talked to, like you know them SOOO well, and you're calling me sheltered? Hey buddy, you're on this board about 5x as much as me...

Nevermind. Not worth the effort. I hope you're happy with your opinion, it's all that matters.

By the way, I don't ever remember whining about a recital. Usually when I post about performing, it's excitedness. I like to perform.

Yeah that's what Jerboy was telling everybody :Q!!!

 

[Jhill]

Why the hell did he run from the cops if he didn't do it? I know everytime the police come to my house I lead them on a 50 mile chase weather i'm guilty or not. Not to mention i'll take a fake disguise and a bunch of money and leave a suicide note. I guess that is normal for some people to do when they see police officers.

I don't really remember Jerboy or his posts very well, so I guess I can't say anything to that. I've heard a lot about him since he was apparently banned, but other than that I don't really know anything about him.

In other words, I don't really know what you're talking about. 😉

Yet the bumbling prosecution screwed up so bad that he was found not guilty! You can blame the verdict on racism but in truth it was incompetence on the LAPD and the Prosecutions part that enabled Orenthal to walk!

Oh...now I get it...

 

[CPUtrader]

"Was OJ guilty?"

See, you've improperly worded the question.

Because he was found, by a jury of his peers, to be not guilty. OJ is not guilty. Therefore everyone should answer "No".

On the other hand if you asked "Despite the fact that OJ was found not guilty, do you think he actually killed his ex-wife?", then I think that most people would answer "Yes".

Personally, I believe he killed his ex-wife. I, however, voted "No" because he was found not guilty.

There you go,
CPUtrader

 

[mpitts]

Despite the fact that I believe he was guilty, I didn't believe it was fair that he was tried in civil court and was found guilty of being responsible for their "wrongful deaths" after being acquitted in criminal court.

I think this one is pretty much decided 😀

I'm just curious who the 36 IDIOTS are.

Hahaha..actually those who voted that he was guilty are the idiots (I'm one) because he was found innocent🙂

Actually he was found NOT GUILTY😉

There is a BIG difference

 

[EXman]

yup

 

[PowerMacG5]

Yes.

WTF, 30 people think he's not guilty???? Jeez people, which rock were you hiding under?? 🙁

actually, if you want to be technical, OJ was not guilty - he was found not guilty by a jury. of course we all know he killed those two people.

O.J. Simpson? Nope, couldn't be -- I heard it was some guy named Orenthal James Simpson.
