Holy shite, that was a great post.
Is the stereotypical, racist redneck really any worse than a guy who believes that blacks, latinos, etc. are incapable of competing with whites, and therefore need to be coddled?
You can argue that the do-gooder's heart is in the right place, while the redneck is just an ignorant POS... But IMHO, one of those has done much more harm to minority communities in recent years, and it isn't the redneck.

As far as prejudice vs. racism, I believe you're splitting hairs here.
I think its valid. Its academia, so they tend to overthink things.

A group that has never been oppressed cannot be racist I believe is the argument most often used by the intelligentsia.

I've hear the "power theory" before and I think it's absolutely ludicrous.
If three black men specifically target a white chick because she's white and rape her, do they not have the "power" at that moment? Does Eric Holder hold no power?
Meanwhile, it attributes power to an entire race and a lack thereof to an entire other race. I mean shite, if the "power" element is key, then there are zero racists in trailer parks.

quote:That's the dumbest thing I've ever read. "Oppression" is not a requirement for racism, nor is perceived societal power.
For prejudice to become racism, the person, party or group applying these must be in power to apply their prejudices. So as far as non white people have power, they are racist. For instance in south africa, the blacks have the power so there can be racism against whites.
But that's the Pavlovian response you get for pointing out others' racism - "oooh, you white men are sooooo oppressed." It's not about oppression, whatever the frick that's supposed to mean. It's about hate and the actions guided by it. People who believe that white people are the devil and need to be wiped out are racists, no matter where they live.

If it weren't for a healthy amount of white racism the recessive genotype of white Caucasians would already be extinct, because our white women tend to be the sluttiest and dumbest of all races.
You fellas down south have your elites to blame for selective slave breeding program on the plantations, which has enabled the descendants of these slaves to gain the taboo desires of the white women.
I wonder how many of you betas are going to download some interracial porn after reading this troll post!

I'm not into interracial. shite, I don't even like watching British people frick.

By definition, racism can simply be a hatred or intolerance of another race.
Racism can involve the position of power....it does not have to. I've seen that effort to move the goal posts to eliminate social responsibility from entire groups of people, and it's BS.
Pretty much anyone can be racist, and I think many people are today even if they try not to be. I think it was George W Bush that mentioned the "soft bigotry of low expectations".

Here's your choice:
1. You're white and some black people think you're racist and make you mad but it doesn't affect you economically in any way, although you may have trouble in some urban government agencies.
or
2. You're black and are treated differently by almost every white person you meet. You have a different relationship with cops, landlords, and bosses.
Do people really think it's a hardship to be white?

I don't think it' a hardship for the average law abiding citizen to be black, white, Asian, Hispanic or native.

No one said being white was a hardship except for liberals who are being snarky in response to conservatives pointing out the hypocrisy of racial double standards. Militant blacks live in a dream world where their race is benevolent and has never done wrong, and all the evils of the world are caused by the demon white race.
So yeah, I guess we get to be the Jews in the next world war.

Nah. White people are just the most racist.

Everyone is racist on some level.

I see you've been reading some of Tigah in the ATL's posts. I'm honestly not sure why he bothers typing them out each time. He should just cut and paste some of his old posts. It's always the same trite, intellectually lazy arguments.

And, for instance, in the United States, the chief executive officer of the nation is black, as is his attorney general, ergo there can be racism against whites in the United States.

When a person thinks his kids are the best, there is nothing wrong with that. When a person thinks his car is the best, there is nothing wrong with that. When a person thinks his country is the best, there is nothing wrong with that. How come it ls racist if he thinks his race ls best! Just asking.

First, I'd like to point out that it is other white people that extract the price on those that "offend". There are not enough black folks to do anything significant about the "whines and hurt feelings" that are LOUDLY bleated. It takes the strength of the numbers of the 'concerned' to extract any price. Having said THAT: 1) I am sure that it is annoying to belong to a group that seems to need to walk on eggshells. I mean that sincerely.
