Take your tainted love and get a room folks.
Probably gonna look stupid but what is a spinner?
Are you modding a mod? Is that even legal??
Since this thread exists and, as someone pointed out, the same thing has been debated in the past I would say it’s a real issue for some.
I have no black friends and I don’t want to go out looking for black friends. My whole life I’ve lived in overwhelmingly white areas of a city. Zero blacks in school - from K - 12. When I see young, black man I see ghetto. I see crime. I see a person with no respect for others. The reasons? Who cares? That’s what I think and that’s what I feel. I have never had a problem, personally, with a black person and that’s largely because I rarely interact with them. So I don’t understand why it’s difficult to understand that black people are strange to me. I believe much of the news I read and watch that, to me, show black people in a racist, slanted light. Here’s my question: what does racist mean to you? To me it means that I’ve already formed an opinion - negative or positive - about a race of people. It’s judging the whole race and not seeing everyone as individuals. Ok, I’m guilty. I don’t want a Muslim on the same airplane as I’m on. I judge Muslims to be radical murderers even if they don’t pull triggers or set off bombs themselves. I believe they are complicit by their lack of action to stop the active radicals. I firmly believe that my position is right in this case. I fear Muslims with what I consider to be sound reasoning.
4.7 % of all “young” black males are in prison. For whites its less than 1%. Hispanic is 1.8 %. These numbers are significant and prove out that anyone should be afraid and take steps to avoid young, black males.
I’m racist - aren’t we all to some degree? Do you think Asian’s are smarter than whites? Do you think the Irish drink more than others?
I told my daughter to never bring a black guy home because it would be the last time she was welcome in my home. I wanted to scare her away from young black men. Do you really blame me? Other than blind, phony liberal thinking can anyone give me a reason that I was wrong to tell this to my daughter? Not a philosophy, a reason?
Its my right to decide who I want to date and if a woman dated a black man I would consider her tainted - TO ME. Not to you - to me.
Good sarcasm.
Never heard of the term, what is it?
Yes, that’s true. But the problem is your argument is applicable to any position held by anyone.
It’s my right to decide who I want to date, and if a woman has visited Iceland before, I would consider her tainted - TO ME.
In my view, most listeners would be surprised and puzzled by such a declaration. Why would the speaker possibly believe that the mere fact a woman had visited Iceland would render her somehow tainted?
As you say, it’s your right to believe whatever you wish. But it should not surprise you to learn that other people, hearing of your odd beliefs unsupported by any rational underpinnings, react in unfavorable ways.
Locker room terminology for a very small woman, built along the lines of a gymnast or cheerleader.
I’m not sure about the spinner thing. I tend to be attracted to petite women. It’s not a fetish, any more than a preference for blondes.
How about because she’s your daughter and your parent-child should be stronger than your irrational hatred of black people?
Frankly, though, the best possible thing for your daughter would be to be far away from you. I hope for her sake she brings home a dozen black men next week.
No, and yes. So what? I wouldn’t kick an Irish person out of my house because they might statistically consume more alcohol than, say, a Swede.
Are you an American? Our government is dropping bombs on innocent civilians on the daily. Are you taking action to stop them? Doesn’t that make you a radical murderer by proxy?
Innocent of what?
Yes. There are plenty of white men who would be abusive husbands, and plenty of black men who would not be. And vice versa. Race is a terrible indicator of whether someone would be a good person or good husband. Chances are, you and/or many of the “white” people you know have some black ancestry.
Yes – there are plenty of decent black men who would be good husbands/boyfriends. There are plenty of white men who would not be. And vice versa.
Obviously it’s your right, and it’s our right to consider you tainted, ignorant, and stupid for this (and the stupid stuff you say about black people).
We know.
But at least you are admitting it, rather than using the “Not to be racist but” fig leaf.
“Hey, I have absolutely no reason why I think and do what I do, but I’m gonna perpetuate bullshit just because. I’m proud of myself and I just gotta seek out places on the internet to crow about it. Go me and my bigotry!”
Jesus.
Can anyone REALLY know what racism IS, man? Like it’s just an idea in people’s brains, it’s not a real thing, you groove?
Anyway, I’m disowning my daughter because she wore black clothing once.
This is the kind of bullshit that keeps me angry and bitter. My mother worked nights and weekends to put herself through college and move us out of the city. I went to the Marines and college to stay out of the city. My wife and I worked damn hard to send our kids to private schools and college. Yet, if my son, an honor student and college graduate, who has never seen a ghetto in person, runs into someone like you he’s still just another nigger.
And people wonder why black people in this country still feel uncomfortable simply trying to exist.
No, he’s not saying your son is “just another nigger.” He’s saying your son would be automatically grouped with the collection of lower-class dark-skinned criminal citizens because it’s safer and easier to make that assumption than to be bothered with judging individuals on their merits.
See the difference?
Too bad there’s no emoji for a weary, resigned smile. Some days it’s really hard to ignore the morons.
Yeah - this is pretty close to the way I feel. And I will never say it is right. I’m just reacting to what I read and see in the local and national news. Like ISIS - I don’t want to get to know any of those guys and judge them on their individual merits, do you? Because if not then you are “condemning a collection of lower-class dark-skinned criminals because its safer and easier” - and that’s racism.
Alright. Well, as a poster, I have nothing further to contribute to this thread. I’m out.
I…
I need a new Poe-detector.
