OREGON MINIMUM WAGE SET AT $14.75 AFTER GOVERNOR SIGNED THE BILL AMIDST OPPOSITION’S DEFIANCE

Defense as well. So just because it's not the majority issue we should ignore it and let it slide? How about fix it all? Oh thats right then the 2 party system cant squabble amongst themselves while politicians get rich and run the country into the ground.

 

I've never doubted for a minute the significance of the word "nigger". I simply choose not to pick and choose which is "MORE RACIST" than the other. They are BOTH racist terms.

And yeah, surprise...there's racist black people as much as racist white people. The difference here is that he won't admit that...while I'm supposed to bend over and give him special treatment because he's black and black people have been called "nigger".

I'm sorry, it doesn't work that way.

What's next? You gonna argue that mexicans and jews aren't equal in racism when they're called "Spicks, Wetbacks, and Kikes"?

You see, it just doesn't work that way. I WILL NOT give special treatment to ANYONE based on their race. Not when it comes to racism. Racism is despicable and morally wrong on ALL fronts. When we start picking and choosing what racism is "more racist", then we lose the fight of trying to end racism. Because that does nothing but continue to divide this country.

And yes, he does overuse the term racist. Glad we agree on that. For fucks sake: he started a thread accusing Trump of being racist...because he's a Republican.

THAT is the same kind of RACISM that needs to STOP if we are going to move forward from racism in this country.

I cannot explain that any more simply than that. ALL racist terms should be treated the same, and ALL racism should be cast out and spoken against with the same fervor by EVERYONE. Black people don't want to be treated differently any more than I do. And they sure as hell don't want special treatment.

Except that minority of them who think they're entitled to special privilege based on society's use of the word "nigger".

 

Oh really?

A group of black teens beating up a white couple because they're white outside of a mall in Chicago or something doesn't count because it's not a burning cross on a lawn somewhere?

And I'm the ignorant one?

Keep telling yourself that.

And if he's had other posts about black racism, then I commend him for that. But I don't follow every post he writes here. All I know is that he's followed me in 4 fucking threads the past 3 days accusing me of being racist over and over and over and over....and then leaving snide, one-lined insults to top it off.

I can't deal with such childishness.

 

Gotcha. Jews, Mexicans, and Asians are all inferior to black people when it comes to racism. Gotcha.

I'm glad they have civil rights, and I've never protested that. So why am I roped into being a KKK member because I MIGHT vote for Trump?

And that's according to HIM by the way. He said that, not me. Republicans, to him, are automatically racist.

I can't win against that mentality, and it only serves to hold this country back.

 

He has no beef? Not all white people have small wangs man, dont be racist.

 

Really? So he agreed with the author that blacks could not be racist?

If I'm misreading that, then I apologize.

But...if that's right....I mean, do I need to say anything else here?

 

Please post a link, this is the first time I'm hearing about this, and I welcome reading the thread with an open mind.

 

Again....for the 100th time....I've never denied the black struggle for civil rights in this country. The fact that, just 50 years ago, they were considered second-class citizens is something that should be in every history book.

Yes, black people have a special connection (unfortunately) with racism in this country. That cannot be denied.

But I am sorry...all racism should be treated the same with equal disdain. It is RACISM. It's racist when a cross is burned and a black man lynched from a tree. And it is racism when people are called rednecks, honkys, and crackers because of their fucking political party affiliation.

In fact, it's not even that racist. It's just stupid and offensive.

It's also racism when your fucking candidate openly says "white people don't know what it's like to be poor".

Need proof? Go to the Republican caucus in Texas or some other southern state, and ask the supporters and the candidates about their views on black people. Specifically, ask them this: "so what you think about them niggers up north?" and see what kind of response you get. Be sure and ask it to one of their black supporters too....because there are plenty of them. Especially supporting Trump.

Be sure and call them racist as they're escorting you out of the building in disgust.

Or go ask Ben Carson about his racist beliefs. Because, remember....he's a Republican, so he's automatically racist by default.

So Republicans are racist? Fine. So is Sanders, since he believes there's no such thing as poor white people; that somehow, only black people can be poor.

You see how that works now? As much as you want your pie and eat it to, the point to all of this is that racism is a two-way street. It is offensive to EVERYONE. It's offensive to me when people like Dviss accuse me of being racist because of my political affiliations, and it's offensive when white people call black people niggers.

Until we acknowledge ALL racism in this country...as I have been saying...this disgusting issue will continue to divide us. Because I'll tell you: the majority of white people don't like being called racist; either because they're white ("White Privilege"), or because of their political affiliations.

I'm out. My cat has a vet appointment this afternoon, and I've been up all night working on various things. I need sleep.

 

You're so full of it that it is not even funny.

You said so yourself: they picked on him because he was white. They thought they were superior to him. Why the fuck else did they bully him? Because he wears glasses or something?

Sure, it may be an isolated case, but it is STILL RACISM.

 

So.....it's racial, but not racist? Because "Racist" implies that you believe your race is superior to others?

But....it's a hate crime....because....they bullied him because he was white? But not because they thought that they were superior to their victim racially?

Jesus fucking Christ. Okay. You're right. Perhaps I was ignorant on the technicalities of this. But it's no wonder people confuse the two.

So....oh wow. I have so many questions now. I don't even know where to begin.
