You all don't understand...we black people are more racist than you white folks....We HATE Ni......s! (see Chris Rock)

That's why I hide all my money in books....

So I asked her a question and responded to Sharon. Yup, that makes me a racist. Ya got me there.

i never said you were a racist, just asked what your point was when you called out one of the few black forumites on a thread with racist in the title.

not trying to have a pissing match rose. you are well come to your feelings, what ever they are.....

So if a title as the word racist in it, we're not allowed to ask the opinion of those of the opposite color of us - in the fear that we might be labled racist? Just wondering for future reference

I asked a simple question and you seem to have blown it out of preportion by :fixing: my post. I am curious as to what she thinks about it so I asked. Why not address Sharon about her comment?

Hold News4 accountable. Email them here http://www.nbc4.com/contactus/index.html

I sent them this.

This story http://www.nbc4.com/news/8107831/detail.html is typical of bias in the media. You make no mention of the gun being recovered by the police. Why? Didn't it fit your "racist" agenda?

Wake up. People want news not junk bias passed off as news. We have the Internet and News4 is being ridiculed.

I did read it in context, and that's exactly the way you're coming across.

So if there is a thread here about day laborers and I ask for a hispanic forumites opinion- would that be wrong in your eyes?

I'm not going to fight with you all day, you are welcome to your feelings, but we both know you were asking as a joke, and when sharon "got it" you laughed. Just think about it from the other side.

Don't change the subject RR.

Is it news that the dead man's family refuses to believe what happened? The WaPo has a story in todays edition that appears to me to just fan the flames. Correct me if I am wrong..Isn't it a fact that the dead guy had a gun and shot at the police officers?

The story in the Post serves no purpose other than give delusional rantings by emotional family members and tries to stir up racial issues where, in my eyes, there are none. Stupid..

You are entitled to your misguided thoughts and ideas, no matter how off the mark you are.

the joke about "don't get her started" is not in reference to her color- it is in reference to the fact that she does not shut up. Who now, is the one who formed an opinion based on skin color?

 

[Tonio]

I went to school with Officer James Thompson and he's black, so how can it be racism?

Excellent point. The level of distrust of authority in the black community is staggering. It's like many blacks are still living in 1936. No one deines that there is still racism out there, I don't think American society gets enough credit for the progress we have made. Would blacks have been considered for Secretary of State 70 years ago? I think it says a lot that Condi Rice is considered to be a serious contender for President in '08.

Dear Sharon,

I must refrain for making any comment due to possible misconceptions.

Love,

RoseRed

Probably...because you already knew that the all black folks are on welfare.

 

[Otter]

Frankly, if RR hadn't done it, I would have. I have come to rely on Lexi to respond with her thoughts on a subject no matter how much crap she takes. I may not like some of her opinions but she does do an honest job of stating her views.

TY.

I think it was in the thread on the new TV show White Black or Black White or whatever it is that someone observed that the black man saw racism in almost everything even where no one else saw it.

I think the society has come a long way. I also think that blacks perpetuate racism because they see it when none is intended. I think it is wrong to treat anyone differently because of race or sex.

I think forms and resumes for employment should not have any information about sex or race and the the first and middle names should only be initials. That way there would be little information regarding race or sex and selection could be done totally on merit.

I agree with you, but I don't think it's just "blacks" that see racism in everything. I think it's like that in all races. I know there have been time where you as a white male have thought something was racist when it really wasn't.
