Can we please stop with the typing inside of a quote. That is really annoying it took me a second to even realize you acully responded anything at all to my post. wrote ... actually, this fits into what i was trying to say before, a small bit. what i was trying to say was that if i called a black person a nigger, it'd be because of his actions, not because he's black... I threw a quarter on the ground a few years back to get it across to a jew that no one likes him, and it wasn't because i didn't like that he was jewish, it's that i didn't like HIM, and it was an easy way to get him to understand. (kind of seems childish now, but I'm kind of a shy guy, and saying "no one likes you" would be very hard for me to do. i try not to be mean to people's faces... and actually that fits under wu's point of that white people don't come out and say what they're thinking. I think that whites are afraid!!! i think that whites are scared that the black kid will hit them, because we've seen that they've got a quick fuse. I'll make that stereotype right now... blacks don't hesitate to hit someone.) I think white people are more afraid of being called a racist. I don't know a lot of the social interactions of white people despite being one because quite frankly I am a quite person I don't like people very much lol. That is right I am not exactly the most friendly of people in real life I find that most people are not worth my time and besides that I tend to end up hating a lot of people. I only deal with the ones that interest me or seem like decent people and those are rare. I will say the blacks thing is true they resist a lot less then whites lol. wrote ... i disagree. africans are genetically tall and skinny. you may not think that because of the images you've seen of people with aids down there, but they've evolved to be hunters there. a century of enslavement is 3-5 generations... that's not enough to change the gene pool. I said it earlier but yes your right they were already built well because they were hunters but a century can do more then you might suspect i am not saying that they went completely different I am saying that a few generations is enough to add some extra toughness to the genes. wrote ... "It isn't fair to assume that anyone is naturally superior to anyone else." Sure it is. I'm naturally superior to a toad, aren't I? so why can't i be naturally superior to someone of my own species? This also depends on your definition of superior... do you mean intelectually superior? because through generalities, i can say that i am superior to most blacks... now... saying that white are all around superior to blacks... you'd have to prove that to me, but in certain aspects... we've got them beat (as a general rule) A toad is not human so your reference is completely irrelevant. I am not saying that you cant be superior to another animal but I am saying that a black person is not inferior to you based on his genetics. I see absolutely nothing that we have beat them at other then conquering the world and generally becoming the dominate form. Those are actions not based on the color of the skin or the contents of their genetics but what people did based on their own. If you can find me a very very good example of how we have them beat then I am all ears but I have yet in my entire life span to see a example that calls out whites are better then blacks in any way. This is the only part of your post that stood out to me because it seems to be very racist but if you can support it then it wouldn't be a matter of you preferring one race over another but a fact. |

kevin wrote ... this isn't meant to offend anybody I'm racist. I'll be the first one to say he/she is, even if I was in the ghetto. The problem I have with the Black culture is that they have this irresistible need to make themselves feel important by making holidays. Don't even get me started on their names, holy shit who the hell comes up with shaniqua or chareel or fitty cent. Seriously whoever has a name like that obviusly wants to bring attention to themselves, even if it is to separate themselves from other races. The so called genre of music called rap is poisoning not only their race, but all the other cultures who are even remotely close to a radio. they preach about how they got shot 9 times and all that jazz. what I'm trying to say with rap is that it's so popular and they preach about shit that is really detrimental to anybody who listens to it I'll add more to this later. Please don't, that was possibly the stupidest thing i've ever read. P.S. stupidest is a real word, just check the wucabulary Edited Wed Feb 21 2007, 03:11AM |

A toad is not human, true. but does a toad have genetics? Also: humans are animals, so your reply holds no water... the structure of the white man's brain, makes us more intelligent beings is my point. I've said it so many times my fingers hurt... I believe that whites are intellectually superior to blacks. being that brain structure is what would cause intelligence, our brain structure must be more advanced than blacks, making us more intelligent through genetics. |

kevin wrote ... Thats not the point, Nostie. The point is that it's so popular, for reasons unknown to me, that the things that they rap about in their songs(or whatever) is just bad for any culture in general. These so called artists are on the radio talking about how they just mowed down the fuckers who sole their 40 oz. malt beer. Rap has become the most popular type of music in the US. The Rap industry is dominated by artists’ who mostly dedicate their lyrics to either violence, drugs, or sex. Through 1998 and 1999 the survey taken by the National Music Bureau, stated that 46% of the listeners of Rap are under the age of 19. While 65% of the listeners, live in run-down homes, or impoverished areas, usually being inner cities. The National Music Bureau also reported that in the 66% of the listeners of Rap who are under the age of 19, 86% of those teen-agers are black. Along with that fact, many of the artists sing about their ghettos, and their past ways of life, which included, drugs, sex, murder, and alcohol. The listeners of rap living in run down areas in the inner cities see themselves in the same situation as many of the rap artists’, and duplicate what they hear. So although a person may be responsible for his or her action, rap music dramatically affects the lives of America’s inner cities and slums. so i take it you think that we should ban rap music, because it's setting up a bad influence on american youth? I disagree. I think the whole desensitization bullshit should be gone away with. who listens to the shit rap lyrics anyway? (hell, just because i play counter strike doesn't mean I'll feel inclined to shoot someone in a counter-terrorist costume with a .50 cal handgun...) |

No, I forgot to add that other types of music have their bad influences also, it's just that rap is more popular. | ||

I am saying that a toad doesn't hold any of our genetics at all it may have genetics but so dose every other animal, plant, virus, and single celled organism on this plant. I am saying that comparing a human to a toad is like comparing a pebble to a mountain made of completely different material. Sure they are both from the earth but one is a trillion times bigger then the other and made of something completely different. Your example is what holds no water because your comparing things so different that it it has no relevance to anything at all. You might as well have said your superior to a apple. I am also saying that your full of shit and that the white people have no different brain structure then a black person and there for your wrong in every aspect of what your saying. I tried to put it a little less blunt but there you have it I think your full of shit and that white people are not built any differently mentally and there for they hold no genetic superiority over black people. You got any articals from respected scientific institution or other forms of proof other then you claiming that white people have a different and superior brain? Site your informations or I have no choice but to think that it dose not exist at all and is nothing more then a creation of your mind. |

  this shows the difference in skull structure, as well as brain. if you look at a 100% african you can tell that their skull has a different shape, as well as more noticable features such as the broad, flat nose. |

I think Nostie was right when he said that racism is one of the most controversial issues of our time and well it should be. Racists are a minority in society in general and I think that a lot of people call other people racist because they say some stereotype that is unfortunately generally true even though it is not a good thing. Racism dates back a long time and I do not think that we will ever totally be rid of it, which is an unfortunate thing. Many people see others not in terms of who they are and what they do, but rather the color of their skin and unfortunately I do not believe that this will ever completely stop. One group of people will always think they are better than another just because they have a different color skin and thats all, most people seemingly always are looking for a way that to them makes them "better" than others and skin color is just one of those ways that a lot of people for a long time have come up with. I agree with what pocky said about colleges and jobs and other things about giving a job or a spot at a college to a minority just because he/she is just that a minority and that this in and of itself is racist even though that is what this was made to try to avoid. I personally think that we need to take out race and gender both from applications for colleges and jobs and just base the award of a job or spot in college on merit alone, but this I doubt will ever happen because somebody will say that that is somehow racist or discriminating also. Finally I also agree with what Pocky said about stereotypes and if you want them to go away then you should make it go away you have to work to make it go away and be untrue. Truely racist people make me mad because what they say and believe is just totally and utterly ridiculous. Many people tell "racist jokes" and they make some people laugh and others uncomfortable because they can't see how somebody could possibly laugh at something like that, I myself laugh at them for one reason, because of the utter stupidity and ignorance that spawned them and that's it. I hope this made sense I am really tired from doing college scholarship stuff, so yea if you want any clarification don't hesitate to ask and I will try my best to clarify it for you. |
