You say that but I've never been banned for being racist.
Weird isn't it?

Being smarter about it than meauxjeaux2 or fr33 don't make you less racist, goofball.

It's all good homie. I have racist and homophobic friends. I just ask them to not act like that around me and we good.

when people stop calling the distaste for people who's culture is living off the government, and suplimenting it with crime racism, then racism will be fizzling out.

People of all colors and creeds do this, just because they are a member of one of these factions shouldn't allow them to use racism as a cop out for thier lifestyle choice.

Not until idiots stop using the race card and double standards as counterarguments for their own stupidity. That and with race baiters like Sharpton and Jesse Jackson around, I doubt it'll get fixed anytime in the next few centuries. In fact, it'll probably get worse when the population reaches around 10 billion. Luckily we'll all be dead by then.

ETA: By the way, did anybody catch the World Championship Game of the LLWS, where the entire friggin stadium of all races was cheering for the Jackie Robinson West Team and chanting "USA! USA! USA!"? That was a thing of beauty. I wish the media would have hyped that up like they did Ferguson, but of course it showed the country in a bright light. Cant do that now, can we.


To be honest, there are a ton of people that cheer for athletes from other races while not wanting to have any further association with "those" people.

No, the fact that a great % of the two races see the world differently from a pride and performance standpoint will forever keep them apart. IMO

I'm a firm believer in the only way to eliminate racism is to not make it an issue. If no one talked about how you were white or black or latino, then it would become like eye color (way down the road). When you place policies for a specific race or categorize people by races for testing, hiring, etc, you alienate those people. When you have a "Black Entertainment Television" or "Ebony Magazine" you perpetuate racial divides. It's quite sickening how the media loves to cause racial tensions as well with the Treyvon Martin kind of stuff. And then our president tosses his hat into the ring... These kind of things cannot exist for racism to end.

Basically Freeman has a famous quote where he says something like "To get rid of racism we just need to stop talking about it." Makes sense, with all this media sensationalism after ferguson there's just going to be more racial tension as a result.

The truth of the matter that nobody wants to admit is that it's man's natural state to have a preference towards those who are of his own kind. This is true of all races and thd biggest racial problem we face today is that people are too scared to face this truth.


This.

No, and not in your grandkids lifetime ... actually, never. It is animal nature and we are animals. All the pure black people can marry into white and blend in and we will be racist against Mexican, Asian, or somebody.

Hey now, I'm not racist. Just an opportunist for insults.
