Anti-Semitism & Racism
Is there a lot of where you are?
I was waiting for my bus today, and some man came along mouthing of at the Jews, and then started to say the police in other countries cannot do thier jobs properly.
I was wondering if anyone here hears a lot of racism around where they live? and have they tried to stop it?
Most of the racism from around here is people trash talking mexicans or talking about black people and asians as if they were little kids or entertainment.
which is a step up from trash talking black people and asians, I guess!
It mostly just makes me feel uncomfortable but I really haven't done anything to stop or reverse it.
Hasnt the goverment organised a "Stop Racism" day or something.
A Couple of years ago, we ran a "Stamp out Racism" and "Show Racism The Red Card"
That cleared it up a bit.
How? By killing racists? They still exist virtually everywhere in the world, you know.
Yeah there's racism in this area. I didn't think it existed, but then the more I thought of it the more it 'made sense' that racists exist. I'm not sure what that implies in terms of my justification of this behaviour.
I kill "Equalists". Don't get me wrong, I don't hate the races. Its just that now adays there are more people for equal Rights then against, so its easier to track them down.
Racism's going to exist as long as there are people who don't look exactly like you.
Not to sound harsh but it's true. Each race seperates themselves from the other in some manner or another 'causing the actual INability to be "equal" to one another.
And actually yes, I live on the west side metro area of Milwaukee. My sister lives on the southern metro side of Milwaukee. In her town they don't allow a bus system to go there because they don't want to "bring in the dirt" basically, all the poor people, mexicans, blacks, white trash, etc. It's the only metro-town that refuses to allow the Milwaukee bus system to go through. Not to mention when in the town, I think it's like 98% white.
Yeah, Racism isn't going anywhere.
Course, I live in a redneck area of Indiana. They hate everything here that isn't a white male going to church or fixing cars.
"Dem Mexicano imgrents been stealin' our jorbs!"
I hear that almost everywhere I go anymore. It's getting pityful when I here someone running for some office say something like that and actually start crying.
Most people that live in this area don't like anyone

Racism (or discrimination on the basis of skin color) was a bi-product of American colonialism especially pursued after the notion of native labor had been quashed and countries like Spain, England and the United Provinces looked to Africa for their cheap/free labor. It was only after the slave trade in the sixteenth and seventeenth century had begun that the idea of inferiority between the races came about. Westerners needed a fabricated reason for their actions and they came up with what we call racism today. They looked at the bible for justification AFTER the fact (not before like many people think) and the culture was nurtured solely on those grounds.
I don't know much about Asiatic history and cultures (except for Modern Japan), but the idea of racism in Europe did not exist until the sixteenth century. Before then almost ALL discrimination was centered around religious divisions and going as far back as ancient Mesopotamia, all forced labor was a direct result of warfare. People aren't inherently racist because racism is not natural. Our ability to discern minor or insignificant differences among our own species does seem to be something inherent in us, though.
People haven't liked the Jews for over four thousand years.
And that concludes this episode of History with Yams.
Wow, that was a fast Rerun.
Don't you look funny now?
Touche' Yams.
Touche.
Mine's basically the same, but worse! *points to Location*
