Why do African-Americans get away with being blatantly racist?

Yea, I miss the days when I had black slaves.... and I'm glad those same slaves can go to college now.

Oh wait, I'm 28 years old and never owned a slave. Damn I'm a horrible person.

To me either but peopple like Reggie Jackson or Al Sharpton will take that and run with it. They take the smallest things and blow them up just to get some airtime. That's what pisses me off the most.

Err... Jesse? Reggie's homeruns typically discriminated against red socks and dodgers. Plus he married a white woman (the cousin from Three's Company).😉

:laugh: Reggie Jackson! Well, he did try to kill the Queen in naked gun. Racist, going for the old white woman!

lol damn ok I got the first name wrong but hey you get what I was saying

Why do you say this though? I'm thinking it's because you're brainwashed into thinking that black != the same chances to have the same life as a white person, which is a complete fallacy in this day and age, made up by people who benefit from creating the very mentality that you allow yourself to be fooled into believing.

To live under such a fallacy is the very definition of naivety.

I agree again.

Anyone who claims otherwise needs to site examples to support the claim.

Can I go back to citing Chris Rock?

"I will give you an example of how race affects my life. I live in a place called Alpine, New Jersey. Live in Alpine, New Jersey, right? My house costs millions of dollars. In my neighborhood, there are four black people. Hundreds of houses, four black people. Who are these black people? Well, there's me, Mary J. Blige, Jay-Z and Eddie Murphy. Only black people in the whole neighborhood. So let's break it down, let's break it down: me, I'm a decent comedian. I'm a'ight. [applause] Mary J. Blige, one of the greatest R&B singers to ever walk the Earth. Jay-Z, one of the greatest rappers to ever live. Eddie Murphy, one of the funniest actors to ever, ever do it. Do you know what the white man who lives next door to me does for a living? He's a fucking dentist! He ain't the best dentist in the world...he ain't going to the dental hall of fame...he don't get plaques for getting rid of plaque. He's just a yank-your-tooth-out dentist. See, the black man gotta fly to get to somethin' the white man can walk to."

In all seriousness, though - you are being naive if you think there is no advantage to being white. To say it's not better to be white is to claim racism doesn't exist. These forums alone have sufficient proof. There were threads of people not wanting to rent a house out to a black person. There were people who said they preferred white co-workers. Black people have opportunities - absolutely. I am not denying that it is possible for a black man to make something of himself. Hell, one is president. But you are denying that being black is not a handicap. If you don't think that Barack Obama will be put under higher scrutiny because he's a black man, you're in denial. If you don't think that a black man in an upper-class, predominantly white neighborhood will get strange looks - you're in denial.

And that is why they can make racist jokes and get away with it. I'm white, and I'm totally cool with it. When black people are the majority in congress, the majority in upper-class neighborhoods, and the majority of world leaders, the tides can turn and us white folks can make all the fried chicken jokes we want. I haven't been brainwashed by anyone.

What is Chris bitching for. He's a comedian and lives next to a man who went through 20+ years of school to get where he is. The fact that his neighbor is white is ancillary and was only told so he could "make his point" which, once again, fails when placed under scrutiny.

😕

Saying it's not better to be white doesn't say that racism doesn't exist, it says that we're on a level playing field for the most part. Barack is under way less honest scrutiny than any past president in my lifetime. That's the fact man, and you know it. And you also know that 50% of the reason why he's not under that same scrutiny is because he's black.

Also, the fact that blacks aren't the majority in congress should have nothing to do with anything. In fact, the color of skin shouldn't matter at all. I don't make a big deal of it, but others do; to the point of creating imaginary boundaries for themselves and others.

And the only time I'll look "funnily" at a black person in an upscale neighborhood is if they look like they don't belong there (ie: in a 1974 pinto with the windshield busted out, etc). These are the same reasons why someone would think that Eddie from Christmas Vacation looked out of place in the Griswold's neighborhood (and in case you haven't seen the movie, Eddie is white!).

In the end, is there racism? Sure. I'm no idiot. But it's not as prevalent and predominant in our society as certain people would have us believe. And that's why we have programs like affirmative action, etc which do nothing more than incite anger and discomfort in the "majority" communities, leading to a huge circle of mistrust and confusion that results in the upholding of the major stereotypes. And why? Because a few people make a shit ton of money on ensuring that you believe that racism still exists.

I think his point is the white guy has the luxury of having the option to go to school for 20 years, do the dentistry thing, and live in a neighborhood where the only 4 black residents are all-stars in their respective industries.

This isn't to say that no black person has the same opportunity, but on the whole, I would imagine that it is less likely.

Really? Where are the white only schools? Thought we got rid of those a while back.

Maybe you do if you feel self incflicted guilt for being born like an emo douche. But for the normal people that don't believe they were around during the crusades, or during the colonial era, or who was born after the Civil Rights Act, I'll pass this guilt to someone like you.

Ok, since you're like the 4th dumbass to make this same point to me, I'll remind you that for one, I was making a joke. But besides that, if we want to analyze this seriously, you guys are completely ignorant of the reality that white people today have benefitted from racism, even if they were not the direct cause of it, just as blacks today, generally, are at a disadvatage as a result of past actions of whites. Everyone saying "why is there black caucas, a black college fund, etc" THAT'S WHY. You can't expect a whole race of people to recover and bounce right up to the top, maybe only a generation or two after schools were still segregated, minorities were denied access to public facilities, etc.

Man, listening to white people whine about "racist" things like the United Negro College fund or Black History Month is like listening to an NFL star whining about the existence of a Special Olympics, or a rocket scientist complaining that his tax dollars are going to fund special education for the mentally handicapped.

Oh bullshit. Please stop with the poor me I'm black (or insert whatever your race of choosing is) so you should pity me. And stop with yorur other bullshit point "whites have benefitted from racism also". I don't know what whites you are talking about, but my family arived here in the 70s so you need to be more accurate with what you say. I am causacian, from an Italian background specifically and yes my parents DID suffer from racism. My parents came here with only the clothes on their backs and change in their pockets. But they had something that alot of these whining race-baiter losers do not have: a good attitude regarding working, respect for fellow man and the urge to not quit and accept a handout and blame whoever is in charge for their hardships. My parents never accepted a gov't handout. 5 years after they had arrived here in America, they already had a paid off car, a house purchased, opened up a new business, LEARNED ENGLISH and had a kid on the way (me). And they even suffered discrimination because they did not speak english in the form of jobs, housing, education, mortgages etc... denied. This was back in the days where racism was more established and accepted and my parents had no nobody to complain to. But I'll tell you one thing. My father worked at a factory, Western Electric to be specific. My father always came early and left late and was always available to work an extra shift. Bottom line, he was a hard worker. Now it came time to lay off a people at the factory, my dad's job was kept and others were let go.

News for you: while yes I do agree that blacks are disadvantaged due to their past, they still hold MANY more advantages over immigrants to this country. One, they speak the language of this nation (arguably, if you want to even call it english, the crap that rolls out the mouths of some of these morons). Two, they are citizens of this country. Three, they even get gov't assistance and "reverse discrimination" policies that favor them like affirmative action etc... They should be able to pull themselves out of the crap. Why can't they whereas immigrants can? I know plenty of today's immigrants who have done well for themselves and their kids. But you take a trip into the ghetto and you can find black teenagers acomplishing NOTHING with their lives. You look at their parents and they are cashing welfare checks, food stamps and drinking malt liquor on porches like it is a good thing. Why is it that Blacks are a minority in this country, yet they form a significant proportion of the prison population?

Your previous point "You can't expect a whole race of people to recover and bounce right up to the top, maybe only a generation or two after schools were still segregated, minorities were denied access to public facilities, etc." is a bunch of bullshit plain and honest. If immigrants can do it then black people can do it as well. We are all human here and no race is more intelligent than the next. The "American Dream" is accesible to everyone. Whoever wants it bad enough and is willing to put in the time and effort to get it can have it. Look at the immigrating Chinese and Indians and other races who are striking it rich in this coutry. Not only are they successfull but they also have honor, family structure and good values to pass on to the children. What is wrong with these blacks is the lack of any ideals or honor. And that is why they are going NOWHERE.

If blacks are considered of absolutely no account, of no force whatsoever and people look at them as disadvantaged, it is the black's own fault. Their own culture is their own worst enemy. Like I stated in my past post, this culture rewards laziness, any attempts to better oneself and looks down on blacks that have accomplsihed something of substance. This fact is how Blacks have allowed society to grind them into the dust. Supporting them and retarded policies like affirmative action etc... in any way shows that you are also contributing to this problem as well. Look at successful Blacks. I don't believe any of them are Uncle Toms or Aunt Jemimas or sell-outs.

That was the most well written stupid piece of backwards talking shit I've ever read. I hope your think about that during your ban.

I don't think it was a actual banning so much as a quote since I didn't see the moderator edit there and it was in his quote area.

The irony is stifling. You spout off numerous examples of your own prejudices against blacks, your own negative presumptions (they're drunk, lazy, criminal, have no family structure, no values, etc). All this to make your point that racism against blacks is a non-issue? Facsinating.

You talk in complete circles, by the way. Every sentence seems to contradict the previous one. Please re-read your own post, you'll see what I mean.

If you fully understood my post, you would see that I only make fun and am prejudiced against ghetto blacks who are accepting gov't handouts, commit a larger proportion of crime, fill the prisons and in general, give all blacks a bad name. These same blacks who spout racism and then call each other nigg*r. How hypocritical can u get? Yes I admit I am prejudiced against these blacks because I am convinced that they do not have the proper values to become successful people.

I ALSO know hard working, self respecting blacks who wake up in the morning just as early as I do, work and save money, contribute positively to society who have no criminal record. I'm proud to call these people my friends. AND they also share my same opinion and look down on ghetto blacks. Every race has its "undesirables" and trashy people. I'm Italian and I can point out to you many "cafoni" (Italian slang for uneducated, waste of a life). White people also have white trash, etc... Every race has them.

I can't imagine anyone shedding a tear over that. Power has its priviledges.

I don't find this offensive at all, grow thicker skin

If you want racist, check out this parody song about barack obama made by a couple of radio DJ's

What is Chris bitching for. He's a comedian and lives next to a man who went through 20+ years of school to get where he is. The fact that his neighbor is white is ancillary and was only told so he could "make his point" which, once again, fails when placed under scrutiny.

I think his point is the white guy has the luxury of having the option to go to school for 20 years, do the dentistry thing, and live in a neighborhood where the only 4 black residents are all-stars in their respective industries.

This isn't to say that no black person has the same opportunity, but on the whole, I would imagine that it is less likely.

I must live in a lucky area..

My family's dentist is black. Also my kids Pediatrician is black (he was also mine and i went to high school with his son who is now a doctor) both of them are great at what they do and will go to them until they retire.

At one time the kids doctor had one of the nicer houses in the area. Then a developer built a nice sub-division with 3-5k sq/ft houses (and they dug out the backyard to add a exit from the basement. ugh they are so ugly). though wouldn't call them nice. sad part is its like 10% of them are up for sale and going for 3/4th of what they sold for.

oops sorry for rambling.

I can't imagine anyone shedding a tear over that. Power has its priviledges.

1. It's not a T-Pain song, the song is by Maino (ft. T-Pain)
2. The line is "the new benz is all white, call it John McCain"
3. it's neither racist nor offensive.

Ok but imagine if a white guy said the benz is all black call it reggie jackson........yea

that doesn't sound racist to me either...

neither does "nappy headed hoes" but look where that went ...

"Nappy headed hos" is definitely racist. It's an insult that's only applicable to black women. Basically, it's insulting black women for being black women. That is racist.

Meh, we enslaved them for a few hundred years, then "freed" them into Jim Crowe laws, then continued to segregate them and oppress them, sometimes blatantly, someties subtley, for decades thereafter. We've kind of had it coming. Let them be a little pissed off at us, we've earned it.

Maybe you do if you feel self incflicted guilt for being born like an emo douche. But for the normal people that don't believe they were around during the crusades, or during the colonial era, or who was born after the Civil Rights Act, I'll pass this guilt to someone like you.

Ok, since you're like the 4th dumbass to make this same point to me, I'll remind you that for one, I was making a joke. But besides that, if we want to analyze this seriously, you guys are completely ignorant of the reality that white people today have benefitted from racism, even if they were not the direct cause of it, just as blacks today, generally, are at a disadvatage as a result of past actions of whites. Everyone saying "why is there black caucas, a black college fund, etc" THAT'S WHY. You can't expect a whole race of people to recover and bounce right up to the top, maybe only a generation or two after schools were still segregated, minorities were denied access to public facilities, etc.

Man, listening to white people whine about "racist" things like the United Negro College fund or Black History Month is like listening to an NFL star whining about the existence of a Special Olympics, or a rocket scientist complaining that his tax dollars are going to fund special education for the mentally handicapped.

It's the same thing with them calling each other awesome dude but when a white guy says it, all hell breaks loose. It's called reverse racism.

A black calling another black awesome dude is not the same, because the context is different. It's similar to how a frat dude might go up to his frat bro at a party and say "what up, mother fucker?!!". They know it's not the same thing as two people fighting calling each other mother fucker, it's a simple concept to understand. On paper, it looks like they are being hypocrites, but in the culture, a black using the word "awesome dude" doesn't mean the same thing.

Another example is sarcasm, when someone says one thing but means another.

Jackie Chan got away with it. =)

Rule # 2: Racism is completely unacceptable.

What's Rule # 1?

The rule numbering was random but if you go by: Treat everyone and everything the way you want to be treated. It takes care of a lot of issues.

A better rule would be to not treat people the way you do not want to be treated
