Science What is a racist?

Care to share? You can PM if you want.

 

This could be important. Can you be specific?

 

No, you DON'T listen. You hear wheat you want and then call people whiners. You have a problem. A big one I hope you eventually get over. This bullshit notion is TIRED.

We've only been "free" for maybe 50 years. My mother was born in 55. Jim crow in FULL SWING.

MLK was shot just 8 years before I was born.

You STILL TO THIS DAY experience benefit from slavery.

 

Ah! So the white man is the devil.

 

If you don't do anything to help tear down white people's system of oppression, YES.

 

"There comes a time when silence is betrayal." "Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter."
"In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends."

- Martin Luther King

 

This topic would be kept productive if we talk about the subject, not each other. It's something I'd like to see adapted to the forum across the board..I'm interested to hear of everyone's family situations concerning the topic and personal experiences...without lines in the sand..just saying

 

That's all you took from that... Typical.

I guess your not willing to help. What the fuck was the reason for this thread? It certainly wasn't to garner any new info.

 

Sure it was. I had no idea the devil was in play. New!

 

You're completely right. It wasn't the Devil:

Isaiah 45:7 King James Version (KJV)

7 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the Lord do all these things.

 

actually I think it was...and it's important to have these conversations..expressing views on the topic is how people who don't understand gain insight..it they don't, it's not for a lack of trying...

 

I see. Isaiah is of the Old testament. Interesting reading for back ground in the Religion of Mosses. Are you Jewish, or Muslim?
It is the Muslims (American) that believe the White Man is the devil. They explain it in detail in the Tribe of Shabazz, in the writings of Wallace Fard Muhammad and Elijah Muhammad.

 

Not for him. His posts don't suggest anything of the sort.

He seems to want to put his spin on it instead of asking a legit question.

 

What a dumbass post and an even dumber thread.

You never wanted to know, you wanted to tell...

I posted that part of a book that I was inundated with at an early age. I referenced the passage because you said something about the devil. God is the creator of good and evil.

Not sure what your stupid post is supposed to even mean...

 

Read the references. But then perhaps you already have.
Being white, therefore evil has an origin. I think you know.

 

Ask yourself for a moment how would MLK address this post....and as I mentioned...share your experience or view with him with the intention of creating an opportunity to teach an old white sailor in his 80s....this thread is valuable on many levels...you should definitely weigh in on the topic. Anything else perpetuates just more of the same division that I would like to see go away....I read his post to be referring to America being called the great satan...which MLK would never accept as truth. The thorns of history are meant to be plucked out and healed.

 

Let us all hope that the dark clouds of racial prejudice will soon pass away, and that in some not too distant tomorrow the radiant stars of love and brotherhood will shine over our great nation with all their scintillating beauty.

I refuse to accept the view that mankind is so tragically bound to the starless midnight of racism and war that the bright daybreak of peace and brotherhood can never become a reality... I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word.
