    You get shot by some racist cop and are in a wheelchair? That's the only thing I could think of that makes any sense.

    My understanding is that actual racism requires an element of supposed superiority of one supposed "race" over another or others.

    Some of that is implied in ethnic jokes, but can't such a joke just be funny?

    It wasnt random. Mags and i were having a discussion anx i made 3 jokes to him.

    I never called you colored either.

    I think racism has to involve hate. I dont hate anyone because of their race.

    You dont know me at all, and to keep shouting from the rooftops that I am racist is sad to me. Were you aware I took in and tried to adopt 4 beautiful black children, only to have them taken away by their relative who didnt want them, tbey just disnt want a white person raising them. Two of thise kids dropped out of school and another has died from abuse by another relative.

    So I'm good on racism.

    Racism doesn't have to involve hate at all. If you don't want your daughter to date someone on account of their skin tone that's racist... If you make random black jokes attributing racial stereotypes that's racist. If you cross the street because a black person is walking towards you and you do this because you think based upon a stereotype that the black person might do something bad to you. Yeah that's racist too... Its funny as hell to hear people who say racist shit all the time try to explain how they are not racist. That's the N word for white people, calling them racist.

    No.. You have no clue how racist the shit you do is... People who do the most racist shit always try to explain how they are not racist. You do this all the time. You don't have to call me colored directly. Wherever black people go we represent our whole race (another thing you have no pespective on). So when you say colored yeah you were talking to me. One who and does racist things who tries to say he's not racist while simultaneously whining because he can't say his racist things...

    Not wanting your daughter to date someone on account of skin color is an element of superiority/inferiority. The implication is the fella she'd date is inferior somehow.

    Ethnic jokes exist about every ethnicity.

    If you cross the street, it's more to do with fear and ignorance than feeling you need to be far away from someone inferior to yourself.

    The problem is if you call everything racism, you're the boy crying wolf. I expect you know the story.

    You represent your whole race?

    So if I say I think OJ is guilty, I am really accusing you?....Quick, someone call the authorities. We've found who killed Nicole Brown Simpson

    Yep. Its sad being censored. I literally can't stand it, and think Sly was wrong for asking the jokes stop and deleting one, but it's his forum....so to speak and I'll try to make him happy cause he works hard on this

    Is the nickname "Vanilla Gorilla" racist?
