OT Portland hotel calls cops on black guest in lobby

Oh, I'm sorry, could you remind me when exactly did we bomb them to shit prior to 9/11?

 

Ah! You need to read; The Six Frigates. The historical context is excellent.

So it is completely fair and non racist for white Americans today to hate black people because of whatever they see black people do today.

So Earl thinks this dude looks like a gang banger for whatever reason. Earl only thinks that because rap made it cool and Earl is old. Dude was at a rap concert previously. Makes sense.

I was at a Godsmack concert this summer and the crowd was almost completely middle aged white couples such as my wife and I.

Most of the women looked like meth head prostitutes (not my wife)

OR biker chicks. Again, not my wife.

And the whole place smelled like weed. My wife and I smelled like it when we got home. We washed our clothes and showered before bed.

If one of those people was in a hotel at midnight and got harassed what would you call that?

 

Today's terrorism didn't start with 9/11 -- it started with the '90s

That interview took place in March 1997. It was bin Laden's first television interview, and it was the first time the al-Qaeda leader declared war on the United States to a Western audience.
But there's another reason why this interview still stands out two decades later. It shows how much the features of terrorism that we live with today -- from jihadist acts to eruptions of violence from the far right to the concept of the "lone wolf" -- all had their roots in the 1990s.
For most Americans, the era of jihadist terrorism aimed at the United States began on September 11, 2001. But, as seen in CNN's Original Series "The Nineties," this terrorist campaign was actually intensifying in the decade prior.

 

Most often it is a Caucasian who is asked as they are the majority of guests and there is no PC fear/hesitation to ask and no automatic reflex for them to become hostile and argumentative about it, having not been raised to have a chip on their shoulder.

A minority is often given a pass when being rude or threatening because anyone standing up and calling them on it will be called a racist and most likely lose their career just for doing their job.

The guy broke the rules, then became a drama queen and escalated it.

Standard procedure to call police and have him trespassed before he escalates things to violence.

 

Actually he specifically typed republican, but then removed it.

It might be true after a study, but it is NOT a fact that republicans are more apt to be racist. Not unless you know of a poll taken by all dems and republicans.

I'm just tired of the generalizing. You so it alot too.


I'm a republican so i'm with racists.

I'm so sick of that nonsense.

 

And I answered your question specifically.

They don't exist.

Hatred was placed upon them and they respond in kind.

You created a strawman person you think and believe exists.
believe

They don't.

White people started this shit and like I've said, the second they start owning it is when it will begin to subside.

 

And I answered you very specifically. Being white does not make you an American or someone has committed any kind of racism or racist act.

So to justify that hating white people is deserved and earned and not worthy of some kind of term, like "bigot" or "racist" is completely ridiculous.

 

Please quote where I've said republicans are racist. I'll wait. I've never said this.

I've always pointed at conservatives. I've even brought up the Dixiecrats (who used to be Democrats that changed to Republican) as an example of racist Democrats.

I say this with full acknowledgement that not all conservatives are racist. People like you, @SlyPokerDog, and @PtldPlatypus are amazing examples.

 

Jesus man... I'm specifically talking about America. Not sure why y'all keep bringing up other countries.

And regardless if you believe it or not Nate, you still benefit from slavery and Jim Crow.

 

Never once did I justify hating white people. What I gave you was the reason why black people have hatred toward white people. It has NOTHING to do with your skin and never once did I say it was right. Blacks who hate whites hate them because of oppression, not skin tone.

Now please tell me where the FUCK I'm justifying anything by saying that.

You need to READ and stop putting words in my mouth.

 

I am bringing up other countries because not everyone in America is American. Not everyone in America lives here. Not everyone who is white has any part in American history. I'm trying to emphasize that being white is not where the beef is. Skin color has nothing to do with it. So for any black person to hate someone simply because they're white is bigoted. But you won't attribute a word to it.

This has nothing to do with my question.

 

I didn't ask you why.

I asked you what you would call it. Hatred of a skin color, regardless of reason, is still bigoted.

 

You like random hypothetical scenarios instead of actual ones.

I got something for you:

I would call your argument exactly what it is, a strawman.

 

It isn't an argument. It's a question.

In one instance you say that a black person who hates white people because they're white doesn't exist.

And then in another sentence you say, "blacks who hate whites hate them because of oppression, not skin tone."

How do you exactly go about attributing who has contributed to that oppression and who hasn't? I don't walk around with my family tree in my back pocket.

 

D, That is not right or accurate and I know you are smart enough to know this.
Racism actually started with Isaac and Ismail and had nothing to do with Skin Color, but who was the rightful heir to Abraham. Both had an olive type skin tone. Since the racism has morphed and changed into what we have today ( not saying anything is right in it all).
I will guarantee there is a racist in every race. I don't need a poll for this one. This includes Blacks. Judging one based on thier skin color REGARDLESS of the history of races is still a racist act, regardless of how that act came to be.

I didn't say you did, but you were trying to correct someone who basically was. There are racists in all facets and the Republicans may have more than others, but to deny there are racists in certain facets or races is not accurate either.

Sly Plty and I arent the only non racist rebs.

 

Wait though D,

How is it White man was born racist but Black man wasn't and was turned that way?

Or let me back up. Do you think that racism is a taught thing or can people be born thinking they are inferior or superior?

Do you really believe that every Black person in history has never had a racist bone, but soooo many white people do and thus forced Blacks to become racist?

I'm not buying this at all.

Racism is nasty evil cruel bs and there is no denying it, but we have to call an apple an apple and an orange an orange and work on today and tomorrow. Not yesterday.

Racism should be quelled on all levels, not just with Whites. There is no excuse or pass for someone being a racist because of history. We all have internet and knowledge and info is out there like never before.

People choose to be racist based on beliefs. Not forced into it out of cohersion. Just as Whites need to acknowledge that the spread of racism was massive mostly by whites, we also must acknowledge reverse racism indeed exists and is no better than racism.

No excuses for racism should ever be... on either or any side.

 

This is why I get so damn frustrated....

Why the Hell do people start with racism history that is not US history??

I ain't talking about Abraham fucking a slave girl...

 

OB... WTF are you talking about...?
