Weegle777 78 Posted March 21, 2015 Author Share Posted March 21, 2015 That's not close to being mentioned anywhere in this thread but if racism comes up that sure is where you will take it. Sorry if you feel a type of way that white people in this country have more extensive hate rap sheet than others in this country. I don't blame you for not wanting to acknowledge it....it is what it is though The first thing that you should stop doing is referring to anyone with lighter colored skin as "white people". It is an all-inclusive racially charged term. My skin is olive colored, not white. What is your point? Would you consider yourself to be caucasian? Nope. I don't know my ancestral origin.

AURaptor 1,122 Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 See, we can't be allowed to just see everyone as "people" , because that would eliminate the concept of pride in one's heritage, ( what ever the hell that's suppose to mean ) , but if we DO point out differences, black, asian, latino, THEN that makes us racist. It's a no win scenario. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cole256 17,050 Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 You don't know what pride of one's heritage means? And when have you been accused of being racist for pointing out a difference? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Proud Tiger 4,261 Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 Weegle777....back to your question in your OP......what do you think the answer is? Looks to me like the thread has deteriorated into a a racial discussion rather than what we are doing about racism. Wonder why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taking credit for things you had no role in seems pretty silly. And again, I was speaking in a general sense. This whole bull**** talk about "race" is pointless. We're all just folk.

Weegle777 78 Posted March 21, 2015 Author Share Posted March 21, 2015 Weegle777....back to your question in your OP......what do you think the answer is? Looks to me like the thread has deteriorated into a a racial discussion rather than what we are doing about racism. Wonder why? I figured that it would. I believe the answer is to get our faces out of news websites that are nothing more than propaganda machines, stop watching network news which does the same, get out of the house and start being social again (get to know our neighbors, talk to people in grocery stores, etc.), stop listening to people that promote division, be an example, stop teaching children that we are all different because of the millimeter of pigmented skin that we all have, and just love people for who they are. These things have the potential to change our culture if people would just do them. But, the problem is that too many people in this country don't want this, because this country is filled with people who have to have a cause to protest for, who constantly preach that others are oppressed, and constantly complain that they are being held down by others when there are TONS of resources out there for education and skills building if those that complain would just put forth a little effort.

cole256 17,050 Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 I would suggest today people who actually are victims of racism has racism itself to blame as more of a cause of division than a protest against racism....Smh. And when someone demands equality doesn't equate to asking for a handout. I've never asked anybody for anything but I demand to be treated like any other man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And when someone demands equality doesn't equate to asking for a handout. I've never asked anybody for anything but I demand to be treated like any other man Ok. Then instead of further promotion of division by blaming racism, why not rise above it and succeed? Take Rosa Parks. She refused to be defined by a skin color. She rose above the hate and became a successful woman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cole256 17,050 Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 Yeah that's easy for you to say but there are people who's name we don't know that was killed for less. Like I said it easy for people who don't get persecuted to sit back and say take a little more. I don't want my children to have to experience what I've went through, I'd rather they experience life the way I saw some friends in private school and friends that went to Bob Jones experience it...

Weegle777 78 Posted March 21, 2015 Author Share Posted March 21, 2015 Then what do you want? If I say, try to be an example, you say, "you don't know what we go through." If I say, "racism isn't that big of a deal." You say, "you need to do more!" This proves my point. It's ALL about a cause and desiring no solution because the crutch would go away and no one could be blamed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
