rac·ism       (r?'s?z'?m)  Pronunciation Key

1. The belief that race accounts for differences in human character or ability and that a particular race is superior to others.

living in a world of absolutes, where the impact of slavery is mitigated by absence of any actual slaves, is just as bad as putting a sheet over your head and walking around with the confederate flag.

acting like a white american and black american are on equal footing, without giving any consideration to the historic inequity that divided the two, is racist.

Well I AM against reparations for the period of slavery that took place. No one alive back then currently exists which makes it more of a tit-for-tat situation.

I fully support affirmative action type scenarios because they actively deal with the racism and forms of passive oppression that take place in the NOW.

Then you would have to give affirmative action to everyone. Including believe it or not white folks from a poor background.

It's not very fair to the more qualified person who doesn't get the job is it? It's not his fault that the person hired is from race with a background in slavery.

You know I bet everybody alive has ancestors who were slaves.

I second the leprosy.

Generic discussions on racism always seem to devolve into semantics and word-mincing far too quickly. The whole issues is best discussed, at least on message boards, with some kind of context to pivot the conversation (such as the school thread that spawned this one).

But the fact is, white males of a poor background will not be turned away from a job or whatever it is, since they are..you know, WHITE. Unless you're a woman, or a minority, please do not give insight into this matter, because you do not know what you speak of. Without AA, there would be a lot more shit to deal with. Having AA only FORCES these ass fucks who other wise would not hire these people to actually use sense.

All races were slaves at one point in time, but America is not any other country. We are rooted in our races unlike any other country.

Do you understand this at all? You cannot apply ordinary race logic when talking about America's racial history. It is another beast.

but thats not going to happen because racism still exists.  AA is a counter measure to the current racism and I get that it does work but I think eventually it will just drive racism because it is creating inequality.  Really I think only time will make racism better and even then it will never go away.

AA is flawed in that it creates inequality and it forces people to be more aware of race, but hey, like maf said in that other thread, those racists can't be fucking trusted. Suggest an idea better than AA and that will not make us all out to be drones with no different physical attributes, culture, or history and I'll give you a blow job.

Racism's taboo; everyone knows this, even racists.

If someone is preoccupied with the violence of Muslims, the threat of immigration, and the unfairness of affirmative action, what would you think motivates that person?   Call it whatever you want, but there's some pretty strong tribal identification going on there.

something i have noticed, people on the other side of the coin who believe that that white people have it made.

i remember a stupid Common song that PD posted.  He says that white people just worry about their yoga while black people struggle to pay bills.

sorry, fucking bullshit.  just because someone goes to yoga doesn't mean that they don't struggle to pay bills.  same goes for just because a black person has 20 inch rims on his car, he doesn't struggle to pay bills.  those are aspects of white and black culture.  it has nothing to do with social standing.

I was pointing out the double standard. It's ok to have "Black Pride" etc.. But once someone even says that white people have pride its deemed racist by people like yall.
