I know that. I was being sarcastic. I don't think his friend's race should have even been brought up. Hence my statement. "I'm not racist because I have ethnic friends!" Yeah, now you're just trying too hard. That was MY point.
I don't think the OP's posts was exactly being racist, but more on the ignorant side. He complains about the little national recognition minorities have, without realizing the US basically is "white cultured" (lack of a better phrase) and that realisticly opportunities in the US favor white Americans more than minority Americans. Those opportunities just are not labeled as "white" etc.. compared to the opportunities for minorities that are labeled according to their race/ethnicity.
Haha. I just received the first ever rude comment in my rep from this thread. Next time, leave your name you asshole. You don't talk to women - you don't talk to ANYONE - that way. Leave a name next time, chickenshit.
Yup. Usually. I always red rep these idiots and always tag it AGS. Rep means everything to them and it must pain them losing 1 rep point for red repping me so sometimes the idiots green rep me with an abusive comment lol! Kind of defeats the object IMO but there ya go. Welcome to the wacky world of GT and his crazy gang.
Well it wasn't a red rep, it was a gray lovely little blob. Whatever. Some people are too CHICKEN to back up their statements, apparently.
You have to have five rep greens for a rep in P&R to show up as a red. Usually the foul one is AGS. He has a thing about women and often refers to them as "slags" or "c*nts," expecially in reps. Here's an example.
I green rep AGS sometimes just so he can rush up out of the P&R section and give me a red rep. I know it costs him, so I try to be supportive of his quests for limited power.
So do I. That is how the crazy gang work. They love their green blobs, makes them feel like proper men.
There is nothign wrong with it, except that he doesnt see the bigger picture himself. He doesnt understand that it is much easier for white people to live than for other ethnicitys. Read over dougeetx 's post. He hit it right on the mark. The lives of white people are much better than any other minority group,and that's a fact. He is bringing up childish complaints, and doesn't even look at the other side.
Gags, shhhhhhhhhhh. Your hypocrisy is showing, and I'm not sure Denise would appreciate your colorful, if moronic language, either.
I will stay away from making assumptions and conclusions, as i believe you guys know better than me whats going on in the US, since i don't live there. I just think it is silly, since we have black minorities here in Israel aswell, from Ethiopia, and are treated equally (Although the youth is practically ruining the life quality in certain areas, but that is because of education and bad integration in the country).
I will add that I don't agree with Chulium at all on this one. I condemn all racism. I also have never lived in black skin, and know the legacy of what that skin has had to bear.
I think that is a huge generalization to make Hades. Are you talking about white people living in America or the world? There are countries where caucasian is the minority (India, all over the southeast, South America, Africa) so the people who are the leaders in that country reflect the racial majority. Are you telling us that white people are to blame for the ills of their countries? There are also millions of black, asian, Indian and other nationalities living middle class and upper class lives in America. Is it the white man's fault for their status and wealth too??
Denisej...I just left you a positive, you always make good intelligent posts. I think AGS is just making that up about gtech because AGS doesn't like him.
For people who think that all black people follow the stereotypes of what we're 'supposed' to be, then you are dearly wrong. I'm a black teenager and although a lot of people think I should act one way, I act the way I want. I love listening to hip hop, but that doesn't make me a thug. I listen to other types of music too. I have nothing against white, asian, brown, spanish or any type of person at all. I hate to see slander like 'nigga' and 'nigger' used when talking to me because I know I would never call someone anything like that. It is stupid to believe for one second that black people deserve more than white people and vice versa. I do believe that there should be a poverty fund for the people in the ghetto but some black people can't continue to blame white people for their mistakes. If you have the capability of being more than what you are, why would you blame someone else. I grew up in a poor family of 5 children and yet I still take healthy actions and make rich decisions. It's not about where you come from, it's about how you make your life out to be. That has nothing to do with how much racism there is in the world. Face it, racist people exist. You can't really do anything about it or say the same things back to them or you are just as racist as they are. What your job is, is to make yourself known and do your best to open up a legacy that can help against racism and sexism in the world. You could complain about racism all you want, but if you're not taking any action to help prevent it, then you better believe racism and sexism will increase. There's no point in complaining about it anyway. It will always happen unless you are a big enough person to go against it and help make the whole world a loving community.
I appreciate the screenshot, Gtech. I'm not accusing you or anyone specific of leaving me that rep. I wouldn't make those assumptions. But I doubt it's AGS mainly because he and I have never had a problem. AGS is outspoken and would have left his name, I believe, if he had an issue with me. Whoever did it was obviously too scared to leave their name. Oh well! Thank you Rebecca. I appreciate that.
