[Scare crow]

As long as the name does not blatantly target a race or ethnicity in a negative manner... should be fine in my eyes...

....this offends you?

wah

Some people are more sensitive than others I suppose. I do think there may be something wrong with me though because absolutely NOTHING offends me or shocks me. Anyone seen this gruesome video of those 4 teenagers in eastern Europe killing that guy with hammers and screwdrivers? I was calmly eating a bowl of cereal as was watching it.

WARNING NOT for the faint of heart, if you are easily disturbed do NOT watch this>

at least this we have in common... i dont know if it's because the video has such bad quality or because im drunk but i didnt feel anything at all...
but really.. in my opnion the racism is in your mind! i've seen many people being racist about racism, how?
a black guy says a white guys is racist because he dances like a black guy(hip hop) he claims the white guy is making fun out of it... the guy is making fun out of hip hop.. not black people! but they see it directly to them...

Everybody knows races are different and trying to pretend we are all the same is stupid. No race is better than another, just different. People need to stop being so damned sensitive. Black people are allowed to have things like "black history month" and pump their fist in the air screaming black power and everyone thinks that's fine... What would happen if there was a white history month and we screamed white power? It would be racist and everyone would shit their pants. Sick and tired of the double standard.

[Vulcan]

The double standard exists in America due to years of slavery, racism, and segregation. There is a black history month to make up for atrocities of the past. If you want to get rid of the double standard we could have all white people be slaves for black people for say 20-30 years and then after that we could have a white history month. Would you feel better about it then?

There isn't a single person alive today that was a slave. How long are they going to keep it alive? Millions of Jews were murdered in the holocaust. You don't see any "Jewish history month". or hear Jews still whining about it, and that happened much more recently than slavery. I think they would rather try to forget it and move on. Why wont black people do the same? They have every opertunity in the country I have, and THEN some. The problem with a lot of black people is they THINK everyone is racist and hates them, so they hate back.

As a matter of fact it seems these days black people are much more racist than white people. A black guy can come hang out in my mostly white neighborhood and not get hastled or treated badly at all. I can't say the same for me going down into an all black neighborhood. I speak from experience. My sister lived in a 95% black part of my city and I used to visit her all the time. The people in the neighborhood would literally yell at me when I was driving by stuff like "what the **** u doing here white boy get the **** back where you belong". I would catch all kinds of nastly looks and could tell they all hated me just because I was white. Some people call this "reverse racism", but I just call it plain old racism.

Some police officer told me he went with a colleague patroling with his car and the two of them were talking and suddently as he drove he hapenned to enter a jewish part of town, a guy come out of his house and is yelling at the car: what the hell are you doing there, this is our territory you do not belong here!! Then the officier go out of his car and ask for his id, sir I am a police officier and this place is a public area, are you telling me this area is yours? and then the guy was like oh sorry I didnt know etc, yeah right.... In my country it is said that in 2050 there will be 85% of black african people, can I say that I am scared about it? I mean right now were almost all white, immigrant are all leaving their country or what? This change will be so fast that I'm feeling invaded, a few years ago when I didnt know this I wasnt racist at all, but now that I am feeling invaded in my home country this is different.

So I would like to say all people have their personnal reason and this is far from solved.

Slavery is still a huge issue in many places both developed or not, the sex trade in much of the world is just one example I can bring up. The jews as much as their plight is real did "whine" about it and they received the nation of Israel.

Your evidence is anecdotal and racism/slavery is still a massive issue in both the first world and other parts of the planet and to pretend they're not meaningful issues is a huge fallacy.
