Why I love Fox news.

[cybrsage]

We definitely kill people for being minorities.

Of course we do, Fox News tells us to do it. Since only whites can be racists it is obvious that the other races are too weak minded to have the ability to be racist.

Is it racist of me to say blankstate is right about the other races being to feebleminded to even begin to be able to be racists?

 

[blankslate]

And this is difficult too, since the actual percentage of death sentences is so low. You cannot establish a statistical trend or predisposition when you are only looking at %0.01 of convicted felons. (I am not discounting it completely, just trying to put it in its proper statistical place).

Could be, but did you look at the link I posted in earlier in the thread about the Bank of America's settlement with the DoJ over discrimination against minorities when it came to loans?

http://consumerist.com/2011/12/doj-...r-335-million-over-bad-countrywide-loans.html

Might have relevance to your point.

Doh! thread is derailed again...

Nah, it's just an intellectually dishonest way of twisting my words but have fun if that sort of thing fries your burger.

YOU are the one who said blacks are incapable of being racist, not me. Don't like the connotations of what you say, don't say it.

Still laughing at you saying only whites can be racist, btw. I will laugh at you over that doozy for some time. 🙂

This is true. If I could I'd be watching the BBC News channel over any American news outlet.

I read papers from all over the world. This site is a good place to start:

I also monitor CCTV which broadcasts, at times, live from Beijing and gives a pretty decent view from the Chinese perspective. I'd bet quite a few people would be surprised by what they hear.

I still like the fact that you cling to simplistic views because accepting that there are more complicated issues related to the discussion defy a simple conclusion.

People of all races can be hateful, bigoted, or just be casually prejudiced.
However, the effects of those attitudes don't affect whites negatively as a group in the way that it does for minorities. Even today in the subprime mortgage debacle there is evidence that points to that.

I've posted my evidence all you have done is resort to one liners...
Bottom line... if you don't want to be called a moron don't engage in moronic arguments 🙄

Words have meanings. You pretend they do not. What is the meaning of the word racist? Lets look it up:

rac·ist

  /ˈreɪsɪst/ http://dictionary.reference.com/help/luna/IPA_pron_key.htmlShow Spelled[rey-sist] http://dictionary.reference.com/help/luna/Spell_pron_key.htmlShow IPA
noun 1. a person who believes in racism, the doctrine that a certain human race is superior to any or all others.

http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/racist?s=t

Hmmm not very clear....have to follow the link to racism:

rac·ism

   /ˈreɪsɪzəm/ http://dictionary.reference.com/help/luna/IPA_pron_key.htmlShow Spelled[rey-siz-uhm] http://dictionary.reference.com/help/luna/Spell_pron_key.htmlShow IPA
noun 1. a belief or doctrine that inherent differences among the various human races determine cultural or individual achievement, usually involving the idea that one's own race is superior and has the right to rule others.
2. a policy, system of government, etc., based upon or fostering such a doctrine; discrimination.
3. hatred or intolerance of another race or other races.

Notice the lack of the use of the word "white" or "caucasian" or such. Of course, you may be saying that blacks are not persons. If you are, then you would at least be able to support the silly claim that blacks cannot be racists.

Are you making such a claim, or are you ready to admit you are wrong and that ANY person can be a racist?

I've posted my evidence...

No, you posted irrelevant information. The only way you can say that blacks cannot be racists is to say blacks are not persons. Fess up, do you hate blacks so much that you say they are not persons? Or do you admit that you are wrong and blacks can be racists?

You really cannot have it any other way. The meaning of the word is clear and easy to understand.

KY54 IS A RAPIST!!! Someone recently posted (in another thread) that rapist read porn a lot!

:runsaroundliketheworldisending:


(in case people cannot tell, this entire post is in jest, I have no reason to beleive ky65 is a rapist)

 

[ManyBeers]

One day when you are lying on your death-bed and that little voice asks "What the fuck went wrong?
Why didn't I get there?". Who are you going to blame?

I am going to blame the white man, since they are the only ones capable of being racist. Dang them, dang them to HECK!!!!!

Who are you going to blame?





Oh, and Rosie Odonnel...I always almost forget to blame her for things too.

Losers always blame someone else. That's why they don't get there.

It is not being a loser to blame Rosie Odonnel! That is being smart.

Im suspicious of any news network that makes their money from selling viagra and reverse mortgages 24/7. So I guess that pretty much limits the entire field dramatically.

Again false. You insist in taking everything out of context and believe that everyone is viewed equally and has equal consideration given to their views.

As much as that is desirable it is not the case.

Consider that Bank of America was fined 335 million for treating white customers and minority customers differently
http://www.pri.org/stories/business...ountrywide-s-discriminatory-lending-7605.html

The fact is there are still to this day built in subtle differences in the way that institutions public and private treat minorities differently than to whites.

Until that goes away your oversimplification of the issue is flatly moronic.

Sociological

Some sociologists have defined racism as a system of group privilege. In Portraits of White Racism, David Wellman has defined racism as “culturally sanctioned beliefs, which, regardless of intentions involved, defend the advantages whites have because of the subordinated position of racial minorities”.

Sociologists Noël A. Cazenave and Darlene Alvarez Maddern define racism as “...a highly organized system of 'race'-based group privilege that operates at every level of society and is held together by a sophisticated ideology of color/'race' supremacy.

Sellers and Shelton (2003) found that a relationship between racial discrimination and emotional distress was moderated by racial ideology and public regard beliefs. That is, racial centrality appears to promote the degree of discrimination African American young adults perceive whereas racial ideology may buffer the detrimental emotional effects of that discrimination. Racist systems include, but cannot be reduced to, racial bigotry,”.

Sociologist and former American Sociological Association president Joe Feagin argues that the United States can be characterized as a "total racist society"

Police harassment and brutality directed at black men, women, and children are as old as American society, dating back to the days of slavery and Jim Crow segregation. Such police actions across the nation today reveal important aspects of . . . the commonplace discriminatory practices of individual whites . . . [and] white dominated institutions that allow or encourage such practices.."

Some sociologists have also pointed out, with reference to the USA and elsewhere, that forms of racism have in many instances mutated from more blatant expressions hereof into more covert kinds (albeit that blatant forms of hatred and discrimination still endure). The “newer” (more hidden and less easily detectable) forms of racism—which can be considered as embedded in social processes and structures—are more difficult to explore as well as challenge.

Given all of the above your assertion that Jesse Jackson's black caucus is racist simply because all of its members are black is nothing more than a read herring... Prove he is a racist, you've had plenty of posts with which to do so but you're not...

Already have shown it. Just because you feel blacks do not have the mental capacity to be racists does not mean it is true. Blacks are just as capable of being racists as whites are. Your demeaning of blacks as having reduced mental capacity shows much about you.

No you haven't... you haven't cited evidence of Jesse Jackson being bigoted at all. I've cited the evidence that shows that there is still unspoken racist attitudes in public and private that put minorities at a disadvantage in the face of bigotry from white people there is not evidence of the reverse situation.

If you're going to slander me and suggest that I think a group of people are mentally deficient based on race then post the relevant quote in the full context. I said that they don't have the power to institute racist attitudes against white people while white people still have this advantage due to subtle biases that still exist in established public and private institutions...
i.e. banks and other businesses, courts, and law enforcement.

There's still the issue of racial profiling.
The evidence is there. As recently as this financial crisis there are stories of minorities who actually did qualify for fixed interest loans being pushed toward higher risk loans and higher fees for their home loans.

The fact that a person is more likely to be given a capital sentence in a murder case when the victim is white than when the victim is black speaks volumes. It is evidence of racism in a very important public institution.

Everyone is capable of being bigoted, prejudiced, and hateful... Racism as it is historically known requires the subtle and in the past not so subtle discrimination of public and private institutions against certain people. There is one segment of the population that has not experienced this.

If you disagree with me that point then fine feel free. However, don't twist my words to imply something that I did not say.

I didn't find those funny. I probably wouldn't find them funny if they were liberal/communist/socialist captions against CNN or MSNBC...

 

[Dr. Zaus]

Institutions are often racist against white males.

I grew up in a place where the only white people were rich. I was poor and everyone assumed I had money. Do you know how hard it is? How much pain it causes to have the whole of your society assume that you are superior just because of the color of your skin?

I didn't find those funny. I probably wouldn't find them funny if they were liberal/communist/socialist captions against CNN or MSNBC...

And you felt the need to tell us you have no sense of humor because...
