Man the relentless bitching and bleeding heart white guilt spewed across the radio/TV today only made the simple actions of the Barcelona soccer player mocking the racist guy in the crowd even more powerful yesterday.

Jesus. Taking someone to task for racism is NOT groupthink. You're a fool defending this fool.

How about this for you? You guys get affirmative action, and a lot of black I know hate it because it sends your race back 50 years. It gives you guys a pass into graduate schools for those who don't deserve it and take away spots for those students that worked their tails off, but get denied because their application pool of similar race scored just as high if not higher than them
Don't tell me what I've got, laddy buck. I've worked my arse off. Like my parents, and their parents. You say shite like that to me, it's a slap in the face. I live my life with nothing from the government but a god damn tax return. I have never taken a single handout. Go to hell.

And you act as if I don't know what being denied things based on MY race that some of my peers who are not the same color as me get? That's a slap in the face as well.
I've worked my arse off, I've gotten every scholarship possible because of my merits and what I was able to study night and day for. Just as much as you did correct?
My parents worked shite jobs as much as your parents did they not? Were they gifted a magical house when they came to america? frick no. Did yours? frick no as well.
When it comes down to it, certain things like AA make things infinitely more impossible for things to be "equal" in this country. You rarely hear about asians bitching about it, but frick that noise if everyone wants equality then why do asians get the short end of the stick?

Whatever...don't lump every black person in with the shitty ones. We're all different, just like anybody else.

Just as much as people shouldn't lump all asians together right? There's a bunch of different countries, but to every damn non-asian we're all fricking ching chong. Not every asian is smart at math and not every asian is a super genius.
I know MANY black folk who are infinitely smarter than I am and they don't even approve of AA.
The point is, color doesn't or shouldn't matter to people or anything in this country. Why should it? America has a piece of every race in this world, should worry more about people's merits and not their skin tone.

when a man could lose his company...it couldn't be more relevant. I can't billieve people are ok with losing your business because you not only disagree with someone, but you didn't even know you disagreed with him until someone brokethe law

bullshite. His personal views didn't effect the business one bit. If his personal views didn't hinder anyone of race or gender within the company then he can keep personal and business separate. But you can't and want his business which he keeps completely separate taken because you don't like his personal views.

since i've mentioned how discussion helps educate and progress me than quick pitch fork mentality punishments I would have thought you could see i'm talking about in general. That discussion in all aspects brings more education to a subject then daddy coming to save the day. So you see when I use a / to separate different categories and actions, I would think you could see big picture.
But as I stated earlier, everytime I fight against censorship and mob mentalities, someone always claims i'm defending the actual thoughts of the person. Everytime. What happens though is my argument stays the same, and holds truth. And it always ends up with being called a "fool" for "defending him". Because the people name calling don't ever see a big picture and only want their cause dealt with right now .They never think to defend stuff they disagree with in hopes of actually progressing. They just want what they are mad about taken care of immediately with no thought of how it effects everyone and themselve down the road. But then they get mad when something they like gets taken away or changed or "pussification of america" takes place.
I would rather know i'm an adult an stupid opions of an old man won't effect like my life at all. just because it won't effect me doesn't mean I want his family took to task. This will just make his family prob. secretly hate minorities more. It will make them think they are cry babies and look what they did to my family.
What if just once the group that is offended doesn't demand a firing or an aploogy. But actually talks to the person that offends them and shows them why it hurts/is wrong/not true.
Sometimes showing forgiveness will change a person 100x more than piling on. Think about some redneck watching the news and hearing the story. It will just make him think he's right and a us against them mentality. Everytime theres a story like this we choose to abomish instead of actually being together. But we don't want people to actually learn and change. We want our justice because our feelings are hurt

Yeah I am bitter because I hear it all the time.
Some blacks telling me all the time "You don't understand".
Trust me, we understand more than you give us credit for.

So what if he consented to being taped as has been reported? In other words, he knew she was recording him.

Listen, htran.... I live in Sf bay, have my whole life. I understand racism against Asians. We have massive pops of Vietnamese, Korean, Chinese, Japanese, you name it. And just like us blacks, there are tons of asians that I love and respect, and a small amount that I wish would die. Oh, and same with whites and Hispanics. There are a lot of awesome people in this country from many cultures. There are shitheads from every culture as well. Affirmative action is tough. I don't agree with it myself, as I was able to get by in the world. There was a different upbringing in seminal black America that didn't work. We should all want to fix it. If you don't want to help everyone join the journey of success, then go fricking live in Antarctica.

After reading a lot of this thread, you are one of my new favorite posters

Well said.

Ya ive read there are soke conflicting reports on he did or didnt know. Also read tapes could be edited to make it even worse sounding.would be odd to know youre being taped and be that stupid but possible.
Imho you will jever find me irl or on here promoting people to hide or be scared to speak opinions. I honestly feel thats better than fake bs and leads to far more learning and openess among ones in conversation.
So I wouldnt want him trouble for a private conv . Stated earlier if on nba tv then you cant spew off without expecting actions because you are on their waves. So private no and illegal hell no
