Well I'm surprised someone here hasn't gone whining to the mods about someone hurting their feelings here. This board has become so PC, I'm surprised you are even aloud to create this thread?

The funny thing is that our cars weren't aligned next to each other. This guy was a few feet back from me actually. After I rolled up my windows, he drove up a bit, looked at his whomever, and yelled out his stupid comments.

So you're saying that black people who "invented" the ebonics tone, don't use it?

i'm surprised the liberals were allowed to so totally dominate this thread.

face it people, idle casual comments like what he made is not RACISM, it's a persons OPINION.

Racism is burning people on crosses, denying people jobs, forcing people to drink from a different water fountain, forcing a group of people to sit in the back of the bus.

in our current antiseptic political enviroment and PC and all, we waste so much time discussing moronic incidents as racism that we seem to miss the REAL acts of racism that continue to happen.

So let me see, what do I call it then? The ebonics tone? that's it? Who uses it? Who claims that it's theirs? BLACK PEOPLE DO. Now how am I racist?

Let me quote myself

actually, i'm half way serious.

EVERYTHING and ANYTHING is a stereotype these days. black people play basketball well. Asians do well in school. White people suck at math (oh wait, that is a stereotype)..


hehehehe. people just take this stereotyping too seriously. truth is all of us generalize and stereotype in life, THAT'S not what defines a racist, in my mind anyway.

what defines a racist is HOW they deal with people of other races in their real lives.

I say racist things about blacks, whites, yellows and reds but when it comes RIGHT down to it, i have friends of ALL colors and persuasions and the stereotype didn't prevent me from meeting or getting to know these people.

is that where it really starts?? or is PC just an excuse to cover up how you REALLY feel about people of different cultural groups.

PC focuses MOSTLY on what's public but the worst forms of racism happen in private, in the back rooms etc.

A friend of mine a while back bashed me for making what he proclaimed to be a "racist remark" over dinner with friends. I said I was sorry, only to go over his house a few weeks later & find a crap load of Johnny Rebel racist music on his computer. Closet racists, go figure.

Point very well taken. Black people are generally good at sports because they are built more athletically from their genetic make-up. Asians generally do better in school because oftentimes, their parents encourage more studying and school work. I mean I can understand how people would view these as stereotypes but I see them more of as a positive result of social upbringing. As for white people sucking at math, I can't vouch for this one. The point I'm trying to make here is that stereotypes just perpetuate the negativity of specific races which eventually can lead to racism.

i don't disagree, but i have a problem at focusing on the obvious public but missing that it can often camouflouge the real.

This is exactly why I say i'm a racist. It's because the dumbasses in the world are soooooo uptight about anything and everything. Am I discriminating when I call a guy black? yes... are you discriminating when you label someone african american because they'er black? yes... Most people are just too dumb to see that they are discriminating with every thought. In that sense everyone is a racist. But when you think of it that way.. there's actually nothing wrong with being a racist. You people need to relax a bit. damn racists.. =)
