That's right! How this makes me a racist is the real question.
HEY EVERYONE I'M BLACK AND I LIKE FRIED CHICKEN!!!!
I LIKE WATERMELON TOO AND I CAN'T SWIM!
These are all true statements but I'll bet there are alot of white folks that are the same way. Does simply pointing out the fact that I happen to fit a coomon stereotype for black people make me a racist? If a white person says this to me does this make them a racist? I certainly don't think it does. If it's true than it's a fact which has nothing to do with the color of my skin. If it's fasle than it just makes the accuser an idiot for stereo typing me just because I like fried chicken, watermelon, and I can't swim. I know lots of people of my color that can swim, hate fried chicken and only eat watermelon on the 4th of July!

You assumed I was white making the comments I made which promulgated your accusations of my being a racist.
I am an extremely racially tolerant person. I can laugh and joke about the stereotypes white people like to bring up and I can do so without calling them racists. I've been called a racist here before, but every poster who has ever called me a racist has apologized once they discovered I was black. The forumites who know me in person will back this claim to be true.
I have friends from every race and when we're all together the race jokes fly and we laugh about it because there's no harmful intent, and we are past the whole racism deal, we are friends...
Accusations loosely applied are irresponsible and extremely ignorant. If you had a shred of integrity you would apologize to me and the other members here you've accused of being racist (falsely).
If I've offended you in any way I apologize.....
In the future, you should excersize restraint before applying labels to those you know nothing about. If you can't excersize restraint back up your claims with good old fashion PROOF!!!

Ummmm.I'm white and I LOOOOVVVVVVEEEEEEE me some fried chicken.
Can the two of you just fight and get it over with??
Please?
Would you still say this if she said she liked baked chicken?
Don't be a jackass....
Until white people are gathered up and hung from trees...
I'm going to have to say whitey, by far...
Sorry, but if you're going to try to support the racism argument on the basis of crime and violence, you'll lose - at least, in the here and now. There have been almost no recorded lynchings in the U.S. in the last 40 years, and very few since WW2.
On the other hand, for at least the last ten to twenty years, violent crimes committed by blacks against whites outnumber violent crimes committed by whites against blacks by anywhere from 40 to 50 times. That's actually a *rate*. In strict numbers, it's still a factor of about 6-7, which is still astonishing, since they comprise 12-13% of the population.
You could make an argument about racism on the basis of institutions, the press, discrimination - you know, not being served in a restaurant, being turned down for loans or jobs because of race. But not violence. Not any longer. For the last generation, the numbers just don't support that.
since the 60s I dont think there is too much to support that either.you know, not being served in a restaurant, being turned down for loans or jobs because of race. But not violence. Not any longer. For the last generation, the numbers just don't support that.

NGM SAID:
"Show me an unedited post of yours that you identify yourself as black in, PRIOR to my joining the group. Bet you can't. If you do, I'll retract my accusation of your being a liar about your race."
I've provided you with two posts where I mention my race several months prior to you joining the forum....
You not only owe me an apology for calling me white, you also owe me an apology for making assumptions about me with out proof.
Where's your integrity?
I want you to explain to me how a black person speaks as well since you made the remark "no black person would speak as you do". Not only are you ignorant for assuming that I was white and for making bigoted remarks, you're also ignorant for telling a black man that no black man speaks the way I do.
So being black; please tell me how I am SUPPOSED to speak.....
I've found in my own experience that what what whites say when blacks are near, or what blacks say when whites are near is quite different then what is said when only one race is present.
I've been in White, Oriental, Latino and Black homes where even the slightest type of racist talk is disciplined immediately. It depends on the social values and education of the host. In a general sense, I've found that the less educated people are, the more racism is present in their character. As people educate themselves, racism is usually one of the first bad traits to be modified. It's not always true of course. I've met some very well educated racists who have that part of their brain turned off.
I'm really starting to enjoy this place more. I've noticed MUCH less crap flowing across my screen.
The ignore list really works great.
Now I go to the "New Posts" list and see a much better bunch of posts.
sorry sunmoonstars, I've told the racist WhiteBird that I would give him one post to show me where he had said he was BLACK, before my joining the group and he failed to do anything in that ONE post but rant some more.
You seem to take pleasure in furthering the bullcrap from the idiot.
Bye. You've just joined him on ignore.
