9GAG - Racism everywhere

well this pretty much says what i said ^^

your taking the Race is racist to literall
its not just about cultures or skin collour

the goths aren't a race

everyone is a little racist, even without knowing it.
ive got a nice example;

view weeks ago in the bus a girl entered. she looked (as my bf sayd so nicely)' Alternative', she had some piercings, slipknot vest on and a bit gothic-ish.
as she 'registerd' her bus card, which she hid in a wallet like most ppl do, the busdriver asked for her to show the card.
it turned out to be a card of her uncle and becaus of that she's not alowed to travel with it.
so she had to pay with cash or get out.

a minut later my boyfriend said to me: 'thats racist! he wouldnt ask for her card if she was 'normal' '
on which i answered: 'if she was 'normal' you wouldnt have said anything about it'.
he admited that.

we only see racism if its about 'alternatives'
so thats racism :P

The problem with the term racism is that it's gotten married to having any problem with any part of a culture that is predominantly a certain race. I can't call someone a thug because it's racist. I can't dislike sagging pants because It's racist. I can't dislike the anti-white rhetoric on BET because that makes ME racist.

I work around a lot of poor kids, many of which are black (and some of which are not) who are part of a culture of entitlement as a result of living in a community where everyone has learned to best exploit the welfare system. I work around kids who hate effort and reward nothing except apathy... even in sports. Trying to hard is a bad thing. Worse yet, if you're a black person who has tried hard (like our assistant principal) the entire community hates you because you "act white."

I hate the CULTURE that has created this and many of these people are black. They have attached their skin color so much to their culture that I cannot judge a single bit of their abhorrent culture without being labeled racist.

So yeah... sometimes I have to mention that I'm not racist. I am decidedly culturist though. I believe some cultures are better than others. It's a grey area, but I think a culture that forces women to walk around in sheets and tells them they are at fault for being raped is inferior to a culture where women have equal rights to personhood and education. I believe that a culture where intellectual achievement is prized rather than spit upon is superior.

If I see you walking around in a certain outfit, talking a certain way and acting a certain way... obvious cultural artifacts, I may have a problem with you no matter what color you are. If that happens to be stereotypically associated with a particular race, that's not my fault.

then they trashed the tim hortons they got the donuts from

haha *aplauds*

lol
as soon as someone writes 'Now I can see that...' i'm ready to stand up and walk away from what i'm reading.
but i kept reading just for u

' relieved any number of men of their moral obligations,'

omg
it's not my kid but the moral obligation is still there?
melanie mcdonagh seems to be a lovely woman who should join eoff so that we can discuss her other articles too, like 'The case against gay marriage' and 'Why Prof Dawkins has it wrong'

:D
inb4:
- this isn't feminism
- no true feminist fallacy
- this is fair
- 100% paternity test wouldn't result in happier families (because the man knows the child is his)

Hey guess what ? I was 3 years old when this philosophy was realized
I asked mom: how do you know I am your child?
she said there were witnesses.

I didn't ask my follow-up questions.

you pitch em so well
all i do is hold the bat and let the instincts kick in

:D

The one where pg doesn't get kids amirite

jokes

the one where you don't get to have any kids

:D
That's just the S+P
Egan-Jones cut US Credit Rating to 'AA,'

my country (holland) isnt doing that bad ^^
thought the US would be more on the bottom though :P

and verry suprisingly *kouch kouch* asians on top :P

.. i know the name of 2 persons on the top..
and 1 on the below ..

but than again, im not american, and i dnt vote in holland becaus i have no idea about anything

Wouldn't it be more constructive to make the same type of picture and encourage people to learn as much about the bottom row as they have about the top row? I suppose it feels better on top of a pedestal, though.

yah no idea who the tops are

1. LeBron James (NBA player)
2. A Kardashian?
3. ???
4. Coach K (NCAA basketball coach)
5. Chapelle.

I think most people at least know the candidates. It'd be a much bigger disparity if it asked about Congressional leaders or Supreme Court justices.

I only recognize Obama.
