Myspace racist cowards

A girl I went to school with posted this as a myspace bulletin yesterday morning. Now, it should be obvious, but I’d better just note that Michael Richards did NOT write this. And to mods: this is not copywritten, nor was it written by the girl who posted it. It was meant to be circulated around the internet for free.

I commented on the bulletin with this (note I write to my audience; a more relaxed, stream-of-consciousness style that is more fitting for myspace, and my paragraph breaks were removed by their software, so don’t bother pointing out that this is a jumbled mess. Also, I must’ve been thinking of something someone else said when I went off on the “brown pride” rant, because I went back and read, and her post doesn’t mention that term.)

Now, why does this piss me off? Because it’s racist? No, gimme a break, I grew up in the south, and this girl is from back home-- I expect it from those people. I’m pissed because it’s been over 24 hours since she posted this and I commented it on it, and she has over 300 people on her friends list and no one has said a word. She has logged on multiple times since then, and posted other things, and people have made comments on her page and other bulletins since then.

So I guess the tactic is to run into a room - turn around, bend over, drop trou, and take a huge spraying shit - and then run out before anyone can give you what-for. Fucking cowards. Her and all her friends who read that shit and nod along with their opinions - on either side - and not say a word.

I often wonder, what are they really angry about? Do they feel like they want to be able to be offensive, but society won’t let them? Or do they feel like they are being oprressed when they are called names? Seriously, there seems to be some sort of anger there at something I am not sure really exists at all.

Dump her and block her. What the hell are you waiting for?

Her mom was one of my favorite teachers ever, and she died a couple years ago, and we still talk about her once in awhile.

Did Michael Richards actually say any of that stuff? And if so, what the hell was he in court for?

Actually poor whites are the least represented group in America right now.

It’s fundamentally ludicrous to tell a poor white person that they have it better by virtue of being white than blacks. A bourgeois black kid of today is no more oppressed by racism than a bourgeois white kid.

The correct answer is, ‘racists are fuckheads regardless of race’.

Saying that it’s ok to be racist against whites because of slavery is the tyranny of low expectations, which in and of itself is racist.

The OP is racist as well. Black people my age (31) never experienced any of the oppression outline above. They were not denied at the lunch counter, they were not whipped and chained. Yes there are still racial problems, but saying that it’s ok to be abusive to white people because their grandparents and great great grandparents MAY have been assholes to black people is ridiculous.

Yes, I realize that a black person is statistically more likely to be unlawfully searched by police. (Just to head that off)

Where did the OP say that?

No.

He wasn’t. These people are morons.

Cisco, maybe you should post the Snopes link debunking the bogus Kramer quote. Might as well at least fight a bit of hard, factually demonstrable ignorance.

No, and he wasn’t in court. I don’t know why people make up shit like that. (Though maybe the intent was to imply that Richards was hauled away by the cops. I tell you, the White man cannot get a break.)

Well, there was the case of Leo Frank…

Just a trivial nitpick. No big deal

Here you are.

(Hope you don’t mind my stepping in, Cisco.)

There were quite a few lynchings of white men – but they were lynched by other white people. In Leo Frank’s case, of course, anti-Semitism played a large part. Which reminds me – that slimy racist screed quoted in the OP included “Kike” as one of the words that “White” people weren’t allowed to call others – so I guess the implication as that Jews don’t count as “White”. Nice. I wonder if that screed was originally from a Klan publication?

“Caveman”?

Didn’t I hear a response to the “Black History Month” bitching that every month is White History Month? :wink:

Racists are idiots and assholes. I don’t care who that girl’s mom was- tell her to fuck off and be done with her AND her crew.

People of European descent have a lot to be proud of.

God Almighty.

The thing is that “white” is not any kind of ethnicity or culture in itself. I think the parallel to “Black Pride,” or “Hispanic Pride” is stuff like Irish, or Polish or Italian pride. Specific ethnicities and heritages. “White” is not a heritage.

It seems to me that the same thing could be said about “black” and “hispanic.” For example, it seems that a lot of African-Americans identify with Barak Obama. Isn’t that like an Irishman who identifies with an Italian or a Frenchman?
