i think racism!!! is largely a myth anymore

[Subzeero]

racism is far from being a myth. each generation will reshape and express it in an evolved fashion. it is part of human nature to be discriminatory and form social groups to differentiate themselves from those not in the group. we do this to enhance and better define ourselves and our identities. it is almost an existential need.

most of us assume that racism constitutes whites acting racist towards the blacks and non whites. this is an overwhelmingly oversimplified understanding of the phenomenon. isn't it ironic that racism is not fashionable anymore? one cannot declare their racist intentions regardless of living in a country where they are free to express their opinion... it is so because we are being discriminatory towards the so called "racists". The so called open minded and pious people of the world that boast about their black friends and would not hear a word of racial criticism are infact racist themselves. imo, you cannot separate yourself from being human nomatter how hard you try.

perhaps there is atleast some validity in the fact that physical features are not the basis of discrimination anymore and this has nothing to do with obama winning the presidential race. yet, everyday we find a million different ways to differentiate ourselves from the "others" and subsequently discriminate.

Please take a look at the MARGINS of victory McCain had in every...single...southern state except Florida, which is a combination of South Jersey and North Havana. Winning by double digits in states with 20-30% black populations.

mccain carried was popular amongst white voters
obama was popular amongst black voters...if the whiteys are racist for liking mccain, then so are the blacks who voted for obama

Funny you bring this up. My parents want to move from our childhood home because there are too many black people in the neighborhood now. I asked my dad why that mattered, he said "they make the crime rate go up."

My grandma said the only thing she hates more than Mexicans is the n**gers.

My relatives in Georgia still refer to black people as negros.

I hear all the time people stereotyping Asians as being "smart" or "good at math."

And don't even get me started on the shit you hear thrown around casually about Jewish people.

well it sounds like your family is racist
luckily mine, my extended families, and all of my friends families have much different view points than yours do.

i hate that whites are the only ones refered to as racist. blacks hate whites, mexicans hate blacks and so on... but we are the ones that get labeled. i too and from the south and blacks are called niggers, thats just the way it is. just like they call us cracker, whitey, and all the other names they can think of. i wear my steel toe boots for representation, that im the working class white man, and ill do whatever for the future of my race and for my children. america is a country founded by whites, for whites. the biggest problem is that we allowed other races to come over. call that racist or whatever you want, thats just how it is.

90% of black people in america are racist towards white people. the 10% just want the white ass but are still racist towards white men.

i'd say 50% white guys are racist and 25% of white women.

yeah there is packets of dumbfux white trash, but no cohesion and no one takes them seriously
but the idea of systematic racism is bullshit imo...anymore it seems that racism allegations are usually made to further finiancial or political gains
agree
disagree
discuss

Thats not racism. Its stereotyping. Theres a big difference.

Plues, all stereotypes have a basis in fact. It is a fact that areas with a larger black population tends to have more crime. Just like its a fact that mooslims are more likely to put a jihad on you and blow up an airplane.

Now if he said "I dont wanna live here cuase I hate blaques" then you may have a point.

Especially if he said "blaques" instead of "blacks."

My grandma said the only thing she hates more than Mexicans is the n**gers.

Yeah, shes racist.

My relatives in Georgia still refer to black people as negros.

So?

I hear all the time people stereotyping Asians as being "smart" or "good at math."

Well, they are. Good food, too.

Please provide empirical evidence to support these percentages.
