This oughta be good

Your own words:

black people are part of the racism problem because they scream it even when it isn't an issue

And does this mean I'm racist?

This is laughable...I'm done

So do you want me to answer that question or not?

The answer is no, it doesn't mean that you're racist. I can't presume to know what's in your heart anymore than I can anyone else's... which is precisely what you're doing here in assuming that "they" are wrong in "screaming" racism.

To be fair the only people I've ever heard [expletive] about 'reverse racism' are indeed racist.

Honestly, saying that interpreting something as racism when it's not there is on the same level as racism is one of the stupidest things I've read on this board.

I think JG is talking about people who play the "race card" because their is a "conflict" between two races that is simply a conflict and not about race. Many have discussed how crying race for every issue doesn't help highlight the issues that actually are racist. People, ingeneral, become numb to the argument because it is overused.

Leonard Pitts had a good article about that during one of the national "scandals" in the last couple of years which I'll try to find.

Thank you KY

And haltz, I appreciate the stigma you put on me that I'm racist, even when I said I used reverse racism in the wrong context, and I also appreciate you saying I said the stupidest thing ever on the board....I'm so proud

Okay... let's all take a deep breath.

I know that's what he's getting at, and I agree it's an issue. I just don't know how harmful of issue it is. Usually, it's more harmful to black people (too many people crying wolf) than it is white people (getting fired, jailed, etc.).

I do think it's quite silly when a little slip on the radio causes a firing (like the guy who accidently said "coon", when it was quite obvious he wasn't being racist). But in the grand scheme of things, I think it pales in comparison to hearing people on the radio state categorically that they cannot vote for a black man, or two white guys plotting to kill Obama (as well as 88 other blacks).

I plan on meeting up with him tonight.

I'll tell him you said hey.

If by "hey" you mean "sod off"...then yes...tell that bastard "hey"

By the way, Obama isn't black. He's bi-racial.

Hooray for all of this nonsense being almost over.
