White supremacist claims he isn't racist

[Raistlin]

No, really. (http://www.concordmonitor.com/article/candidate-keep-states-complexion-white) He just doesn't want to live by those damned darkies, but he's not racist!


So please, don't call him a racist. He says that's not true.

"I would ask you about your version of racist," Murdough said. "The word does not have a specific definition. If someone says, 'You seem to hate people who aren't white,'

I say no, so I can't really be a racist, because I don't hate them. I just don't want to live around areas that are heavily, predominantly non-white."

This idiot is even running for the New Hampshire State Senate.

I must admit, "I'm not racist because I don't actively hate other races" is a new one. Though my all-time favorite racist excuse remains "I'm not racist because I let black people use my bathroom (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/10/15/interracial-couple-denied_n_322784.html)."

What lame-ass excuses have you heard from bigots claiming not to be bigots?

EDIT: Haha, I just realized this idiot says "there's no specific definition of racism," but then immediately after says "I can't be a racist, because that narrowly means I hate other races." *brain explodes*

A racist claiming he's not racist? What's new?

[Raistlin]

The new and exciting ways they try to claim they're not racist are entertaining, though. I mean, come on, the "I let black people use my bathroom" excuse is hilarious.

[rubah]

I always liked the "I'm not racist because I belong to the race in mention."

[Mo-Nercy]

"I've even read some things where Jews are considered white because of their skin," Murdough said. "Technically, they're a different race than white people. They're Semitic; that's not white."
I presume he also thinks that only white people can be Christian.

[Rodarian]

OMG that white man is on to us... All us non whites (including 'Jewish') are pure evil!! We're actually going to be 'whitewashing' USA so the blood comes out grey...

:eep:

Facebook is a goldmine

I am not racist but if women in Britain want to where a vail to cover there faces then i would class them as muslim so fk away off to ur own countries and do want yas want ,coming here forcing muslim laws on british soil!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And just to add insult to injury, his 'Favourite Quotation'

never judge a book by the cover ,,, takes a good man to to sit back and realise sometimes that wot has happened has happened time goes on and we all only live once.

I wonder if it is racist to not want to live in an area that isn't mostly your own race? Depends on how you come across, mostly. Same with wanting to date within your own race. Is it racist to find some races more attractive than others? UCONN has official clubs for different races but would never condone racism. The issue isn't black and white. I imagine all of those things are technically racism, but then again, so is Affirmative Action, double standards on the n word and many other things. The question is, is wanting to live in an area where people are predominantly of your cultural identity the bad sort of racism, or is it the culturally accepted racism? I figure it's somewhere in between. Racism itself is becoming fairly useless as a word - like Nazi or comparing someone to Hitler. Countless misuse has robbed the word of its power.

Uh oh, this just turned into an EoEO thread.

XD Time to move this thread over.... Oh wait I don't have the power to do so.... STAFF PPL!! STAFF!!!

[Madame Adequate]

You've not seen this before, Wes? xD They've been doing this for a long time now, they claim to be racial 'seperatists', who think all races are equal but that races should not mix. It is fairly hilarious.

WE ARE ALL HUMANS

[Peegee]

WE ARE ALL です

EXCEPT FOR PIKACHU http://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/4/4d/Spr_1b_052.png

What is so confusing about this thread? Can somebody even define racism?です Oh wait I'll do it for fun! Racism is when you thですink 'race' A is better than 'race' B inherently anですd solely due to 'race', whatever that means [colloquially it ですmeans common descent]. http://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/0/04/Spr_3r_025.png

The definition seeですms to forget that we're all fromです the same ancestors but that's okay we'll just shift thですe goal post untですil it lets us hate minorities. http://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/5/5a/Spr_2g_082.png

Anyway, strictly relatinですg to personal preferences i don't ですconsider it racist to say 'I want to date my own race/cですulture' and 'I like to hang around people oですf my own background'. Certainly being racist can include the two preceding claims but the claims do noですt mean you are racist (B -> A 'Wrong Direction' fallacy)

I mean, I wisですh I could catch pokemon without throですwing pokeballs. Then I could catch all of theですm and then be afraid to use the pokeballs because they'll release pokemon insteですad of catch them! OH CRAP

What I am about to tell you is completely true.

Not long ago I was having a futile discussion with this racist douche at work - although, he claims that he is not a racist. According to him, he's not a "racist", he just doesn't feel "comfortable" standing next to one or more black people, as he has a fear of the "dark". :eep:

Again, how is that racist? He didn't say anything about how one race is inherently better than another. That's merely stupid or discriminatory but not racist.

Racism may not have been the intention of his or her comment, but it can certainly be perceived as such. Also, if you say something like "I want to date my own race", what exactly to you expect people to think? It certainly implies some kind of dislike.

Also, my co-worker's statement clearly indicates that he thinks black people are an "inferior" race, thus making it a racist and biggoted remark.

[Peegee]

That might be true. I just wish there was a way to say that you prefer http://i31.:bou::bou::bou::bou::bou::bou::bou::bou::bou::bou::bou::bou:/opqwk9.jpg versus http://i25.:bou::bou::bou::bou::bou::bou::bou::bou::bou::bou::bou::bou:/54f243.jpg without sounding like you're mean to everybody in the same group.

For example I have very few if any asian friends http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2331/2409707094_20f1f4bc01.jpg (chinese vietnamese, pikachus). I honestly attribute it in the same way as liking certain pokemon over others.

I mean http://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/1/1c/Spr_4d_241.png is cute but I like http://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/0/04/Spr_3r_025.png a thousand times more ^_^

PG, your posts are making me feel like I am on cocaine.

This one time my friends and I were able to acquire a few lines and hooked me up with some before we went clubbing http://i25.:bou::bou::bou::bou::bou::bou::bou::bou::bou::bou::bou::bou:/2qc0cok.jpg. So we're in London, Ontario hopped up on schedule I substances http://l-userpic.livejournal.com/42174077/343456. Did I mention my friends are stupid? Oh wait I did talk about that earlier (http://forums.eyesonff.com/eyes-each-other/133269-bye-bye-friend.html)! So we split up and I'm tripping balls when I finally find the other group of people. One of the guys had inadvertantly started talking to a girl when her boyfriend saw the interaction and tried to start some :bou::bou::bou::bou:. http://l-userpic.livejournal.com/56802885/343456

Oh snap things getting super cereal. So there's like 15 of us and suddenly a small group of 3 people turns into 15 people all going 'hey thar what's going on lololol' http://l-userpic.livejournal.com/72309617/343456 Needless to saw we didn't have to smack no foul talking drunkard, which would be good cuz if the cops found out I was on some mad illegal dope I would be in hella trouble ya mean?

I read somewhere that "race" means different things to different people, and since language is dynamic then that viewpoint is entirely valid and race has no actual definition. Which means this guy can make up whatever he wants. Don't push your definition of race on other people, Raistlin!

[LunarWeaver]

This makes me think of those people who slap "No offense" on an offensive statement, then don't understand why people find it offensive when they clearly said it wasn't.

The comments on that article are truly depressing.

You of all people playing the "other thread" card. You will be the death of me.

Guy's a douche! What if they ain't gonna have babies, hmm?

Also, one of the related links explains that he quit.

EDIT: Dammit, this is a hella old article. Find me something fresh, Raist, or gtfo.

I guess if I want to not appear racist http://i31.:bou::bou::bou::bou::bou::bou::bou::bou::bou::bou::bou::bou:/4lh7c4.jpg I should just welcome all people into my life and let them do whatever http://i25.:bou::bou::bou::bou::bou::bou::bou::bou::bou::bou::bou::bou:/4v5jz8.jpg. Just like if I want to not seem homophobic I should start having sex with gays amirite?

Whoops. Definitely was talking about the second link, I think.

Carry on. There is no dumb foa to see here.

PG, I said to knock it off. Another Pokespam post and I'm drunk tanking you. Maybe forever.

You of all people playing the "other thread" card. You will be the death of me.

I do now know what that means. Did you for some reason believe I was above such a thing until now?

[Psychotic]
