Oh my god beware of the black person standing there minding his own fucking business in the goddamn grocery store because he's going to steal your money and beat you and rape you in the parking while listening to some rap aka the devil's music because God made them black for a reason to signify how fucking evil they are and while we're on the subject rap is just nigga technology anyway and by nigga technology I mean anything that doesn't plug into a printer because niggas never have anything to print because when they have something to write down they spray-paint it on cars while doing drive-bys in a beat up Buick on 24" rims with all of their monkey friends who all smoke crack and buy their crack with money that they got from robbing good outstanding God-fearing white people who actually earn their money with a real job instead of welfare which is why taxes are so high because these sorry ignorant black bastards can't hold down a job because they can't pass a drug test from all of the crack they smoke which puts off smoke which is the real reason global warming is happening.

Seriously what the fuck is wrong with these stupid fucks I live around. I swear to fuck by the year 2050 they're going to be hating on everyone over 6'2" because we all know tall people are good-for-nothing sorry sons of bitches.

Back Country, point, Tip of the Clan hat, lack of enlightenment...

Hell I was raised so racist it is pathetic, but feel pretty proud to have risen above it, even though there are times when my background pops up and I have to fight it back down...

To give an example of how I think the world should be... my wife's daughter, who I am adopting, around age 4 said in response to someone talking about a 'black' man... mommy, he is brown.

Children are blind to it, we should all be so lucky and should never change that...

lol if you think this is common occurance everywhere. You bitch so much about your surroundings, just move. Move to a decent sized city around you if you want to stay reletively close to home, but damn, just get out of there.

spoon, deep down behind all the facade you put up, I always knew you were a man of morals and values.


I admire you for this.


bode, spoon isn't saying "these people are whack, i gotta get outta there", more like "that shit is real fucked up and its gotta stop".
My dream... is to fly... over the rainbow... so high...

This is all true. It's not a function of location.

It's sad if you don't see that blatant prejudice against people who are different is common occurrence nearly everywhere. I've lived in Raleigh, Charlotte and Winston-Salem, three of the four or five biggest cities in the state, and it's been the same. It's not a question of location at all, and it truly saddens me for people to blow it off as such.

Look world-wide.

I always thought that racist means someone with the belief that race is the primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race. Good thing you pointed out it actually means someone who says a certain word, no matter what context.

Well, I agree that racism is world-wide, but location does affect it somewhat. For example, the area I used to live in was fairly well mixed among a number of different races. The inherent racism was surprising worse or at least more visible than the area I live in now, which has basically two races in it (based on kids in my daughters class) and the racism is much less apparent, though I am sure there is still some there.

I think that might even be backwards of what is to be expected though also...

So JinxT4, I guess it's okay for me to ask for some crackers but a black guy has to ask for saltines? Because oh noes, a black guy can't say the word cracker because the act of saying (or in this case typing) a word is racist.

Suppose there was a computer program that randomly typed out letters and it continued indefinitely. Eventually it would type the word "nigger" and so I guess that program would be racist.

Now that I think about it, maybe not. Say you have a group of 10 people, 5 of which are race A and 5 of which are race B. Then the racial "lines" seem to be a big more evident just from the numbers. But say you had a black American, a white American, a Mexican, an American Indian, an Indian, and an albino Australian. I would think it would be harder to create much racial tension because all [most] social interaction would be with people sufficiently different.

If that makes any sense.

spoon you just live in a racist region. lots of places not like that.

i was born and raised and lived my entire life in western washington and ive never even once witnessed a discriminatory act from white on black, or white on any minority for that matter.

i have, however, witnessed a few black on white discriminatory events. they were all pretty much harmless, but the perpetrator acted with base in the belief that the white man was getting him down. this isnt typical though. most of the minorities around here never suggest they feel oppressed. the contrary, most suggest they think its all fine. there are the small handful though that have curiously gone overboard with their illusions about white racists up here. but like i said its pretty much all harmless stuff.

seriously, its way different up here in seattle area. granted, i have never spent any large amount of time in the worst areas, but by that i mean the absolute worst.

one of three events that comes to mind (this is one that i dont actually consider the person displaying racism because i know he wasnt racist, he just thought that i was apparently). so at work i told a watermelon/black joke which a black guy overheard (this was following him telling a gin/black joke). he blew his lid, verbally equated me with KKK, he threatened to get transferred or quit or get all the bosses involved after telling my boss, then my boss (who was black) had a chat with me, he was confused to begin with because he knew i wasn't racist, i told him the joke, he thought it was funny.

a month or so later the guy who blew his lid (whom i had profusely apologized to) discovered that im sexually attracted to black women. he then told me that had he known that he wouldnt' have thought i meant anything racist by my joke.

so yea, big misunderstanding here, nothing actually racist. thats the type of stuff you find up here.

Second I have a funny story. My dad, myself (age ~14) and one other guy named Larry who is about equally as bad as my dad in that aspect were building a small deck for a woman on a Saturday on a side road off of MLK. We got ready to go to lunch and a black woman was passing by and Larry asked her what time it was. Her reply was, "IT'S FUCKIN TIME".

So hours later, we're getting the tools up, and it just so happens that the same woman was walking down the sidewalk again and Larry asked her, "Hey baby, what'll you do for a quarter?"




Her reply: "CUT YO' MUTHAFUCKIN THROAT."

<rill0r> short answer - anything
<rill0r> long answer - how i show my insecurities are by lashing out at obvious and sometimes unobvious targest in a 'sublime' way
<rill0r> this way, if you do agree my ego gets stroked and if you don't, I can atleast exit the argument early enough to keep the facad alive!
<spoonitnow> facade imo

I have no interest in discussing strategy with a protege'. Your job is to remain quiet and listen. I have a very systematic approach that I will share with the right candidate and I promise that I will turn you into a force of nature and show you elements of the game of poker that you never knew existed.

I always thought that racist means someone with the belief that race is the primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race. Good thing you pointed out it actually means someone who says a certain word, no matter what context.
So you don't think that a white person using the term would be considered racist? Would you even consider it a derogatory remark? Also, I'm pretty sure I didn't say anywhere in my post that using the word was the definition of racism. Thanks for the definition though.

Are you serious? How is a black guy asking for crackers offensive? I can't think of many ways the n-word can be used by a white guy & have it not be offensive. Idk, ask someone who's black maybe?

Computers don't have a brain & aren't using it in a negative way, so I don't think that would be racist?

Then how is me saying nigger in this context "racist" simply because I'm white? That's totally retarded to even suggest that.

Idk, I wouldn't ever use the word. I just always thought that white people using that term = racist. Like I said, ask someone who's black.

It's such a loaded word it's nearly impossible to determine a suitable case for it to be used.

-Used as a descriptive noun 100% racist

-Quoting someone to express your disgust for what they said
"It's hard not to look for racism when someone says "Fuck niggers." 100% alright...and could probably be used in a conversation with a black person

I've been fortunate growing up on the aspect of racism. My TN town is like 100% opposite of what you would expect a small rural TN town to be. We have a population of about 5k-6k, with an equal distribution of whites to blacks. Idk what it is, but I've rarely encountered racism at all. There are a very few whites that I know of who are racist, but it's not extreme. They would just rather just mingle with anyone else. And there are about an equal number of blacks that have the same feelings. But other than that the town is rather intergrated. Just thought I would throw that out, because I'm bored.

there is such a ridiculous double standard regarding many different aspects of 'racism' it pisses me off so much.

i don't like racists of any variety. i also HATE people that can't have objective discussion regarding different races, or topics involving race in some way, without pulling the race card.

basically everyone needs to get along, like everybody, and chill the fuck out

Alright look, it doesnt matter what marklar marklar use. I say "that is so marklar" all the time, meaning marklar. Does this mean i think marklar marklar are marklar? NO! But for some marklar, marklar give so much marklar to marklars like marklar and marklar that all of a sudden it doesnt matter what marklar they are in, it doesnt matter how marklar are marklared cuz obviously they are marklar! Nevermind the fact that marklars are used out of the marklar based marklars all the time, for example, marklar. marklar dont mean marklar, wtm does that marklar? It means marklar in the context of marklar but apparently im still marklaring about marklar.

Pretty much, but once Altavista adds a wufwugy-to-English translator and vice-versa we'll be in much better shape, amirite?

Right after I moved to Raleigh, I worked at a major computer retail store for about 9 months when I was 19-20 years old or so. The store had nearly an all-black employee base, except for me, a Chinese guy named Son, and an all-white team of managers.

I worked there for about 6-7 weeks and was promoted to the head of my position and had these three guys who reported to me, though our job wasn't particularly difficult, mostly bitch-work like restocking and building displays and carrying shit.

I was promoted because of my work ethic and that I could be counted on to get things done, while the three guys who I was working over couldn't be bothered to give a shit. They were really horrible employees.

So there I was, the 19 year old white kid who was telling three black guys aged somewhere from 25 to 35 what to do less than two months after I started working there. All anyone saw was the race situation, and that I was so obviously promoted because I was white.

Edit: Okay I don't know why I quoted Lukie instead of hitting the post reply button.
