White supremacist finds out he has black ancestry

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Even if that were true it hardly has any bearing. His ancestry is not his choice. He’s a racist now, purely of his own choice. Notice also, the somewhat stupid behavior of the other speakers and the audience. I thought only racists ridicule people?

Why would only racists ridicule people? People who aren’t racist can still do everything else except be racist.

Shame hey, that must have been horrible to find out. I feel sorry for the guy - no wait I don’t actually:

That’s a silly idea. Ridiculing somebody because of their race? That’s wrong. Ridiculing somebody because of their racism? That’s okay and it’s fun besides.

Saying you have to treat black people and racists equally is as ridiculous as saying you have to treat children and pedophiles equally.

Please don’t compare racists with pedophiles. Racists choose to be hateful intolerant bigots

Pedophiles were born that way and can’t control their thoughts

Gives a whole new meaning to “PALATR” : Point and Laugh at the Racist! :stuck_out_tongue:

I think that’s kinda the point. The ancestry of the people against which he discriminates is not their choice either.

Not really a point: if you go far enough back we all have black ancestry. Racism is stupid.

Reminds me of the story of the anti-Semitic politician in Hungary who discovered he was actually Jewish.

While not the silliest thing I’ve ever read on the internet (by far), this is the silliest thing I’ve read on the internet in the past 24 hours.

Wow. I would love to read about what exactly was going through his mind. These seem to be the basic steps:

  • I hate Jews.
  • I am Jewish, but if nobody knows I can comfortably go on hating Jews (?!)
  • OK, I am Jewish and everybody knows.
  • I am Jewish, it’s cool, I’ll go to Auschwitz to pay respect (?!)
    I want a documentary where he explains this!

The (14%) black white supremacist seems to just ignore it, while the anti-semitic Jew turned around on the issue. An interesting comparison of two different ways of handling cognitive dissonance!

I would guess that most racists deny that particular fact, if they are even aware of it.

Does anyone know how accurate these genetic tests are at determining racial ancestry?

Not arguing about racism being stupid, but it’s not supported by your point.

These guys are not saying anything about the color black. They’re saying something about the “races” as they have allegedly evolved over time and where they stand today.

I mean, if you’re going to argue your point, why stop at blacks? For that price why not go back even further and say we all have non-human ancestry? It’s not like no racists can accept evolution.

IIRC, reasonably accurate at ascertaining broad geographical origins. (such as Subsaharan Africa). Less so at breaking down into smaller groupings. I may be completely wrong.

It’s a whole thread full of unusually crazy ideas.

This whole thing is kind of disgusting.

The premise is, “let’s get someone we all hate, and then point and laugh at him.”

I am in no way standing up for this guy’s racism, but this was nothing more than an opportunity for a bunch of people to feel superior and let out some hate of their own. Not a pleasant sight.

nm - I have reading comprehension issues.

Wouldn’t this be easy enough to research through a Mormon genealogy database or something?

Didn’t Chappelle do that sketch years ago?

I can’t get with the program and laugh at the racist. If you read the article you will see that the revelation did not effect the guy in the least. He just believes the test is fake and he is still doing really scary things in North Dakota. Its not a laughing matter.
