You guys are some fucking backward idiots!!! Stay behind the computers "computer tough guys!!" I'm not even going to respond to your comments. Once again and 2Thick wil back me on this you morons are arguing amongst yourselves. You morons are bad reprensentatives for your race and 95% of my friends are white.
Well I'll assume this was directed at me, since I'm the starter of this thread.
Anyone who knows me on the board knows that I am not a liberal, and not a conservative, in fact, I consider myself completely "off wing."
I am far from a racist, (not that you called me one), but just the fact that I have to say such a thing, is part of the whole point of my post.
It seems that in a lot of ways, we are conditioned to think that anyone who does not totally agree with a minority is a racist, anyone who does not agree with womens rights is a chauvinist , and anyone who does agree with homosexuals is a homophobe.
Now, that is a bit of an extreme look, but basically true. How many times have you, as a white hetero male, had to insert the "I'm not a racist/sexist/homophobe, but..."
I am NOT trying to take away anything from anyone here, not trying to say gays are/were not oppressed, etc...
White males certainly DO hold the majorty of the power postitions in this country...and I completely sympathize with all the other 'groups' trying to gain some 'power.'
My main points are:
1. White males ARE, whether bluntly or not, taught from an early age in this country that they are to blame for everyone's problems. - Again, that's a bit more extreme then the normal truth, but will suffice because I'm fuckin' tired and not thinking straight.
2. From my experience, minority groups are NOT fighting for equality as most claim, but rather for superiority. Which of course is understandable, but that puts them at no higher moral ground than myself as a hetero white male.
Human nature is human nature for the most part. Only culture is different.
