This is an interesting statement. I have some genuine questions: So you hate a racism-card-basher more than a racist? (and if this is true) Do you hate people that falsely accuse others of rape MORE than rapists as well? I'm just wondering if this logic applies across the board in your life or if it's something specific to racism. According to that list, the best (worst) a racist could be is third. And looking at the first two on your list, I doubt it's that high. (Maybe I'm just reading too much into an overly dramatic statement?)
I don't really have a rated hate list, and "hate" is a strong word that I don't really like to use. In fact, I think everyone has their own interpretation of the word, and this often leads to misunderstandings. I should have said "strongly dislike" instead, because I don't think I am capable of hatred to be honest.
But I'd like to say in my own defense, that both false accusers and perpetrators are on my "dislike" list.
Honest Question: And what, exactly, is a racism card basher? Is it someone who calls racism when there is none? Or someone who simply calls racism? For that matter, what do you think about people who just throw the term around in an attempt to trivialize legitimate issues?
Good question, have you ever heard the term "Bible basher"?
A racism card basher is someone who sees racism where there is none, and defends their claims with weak analyze, possibly plausible but anyone with a right mind sees that it's bullshit.
Also I thought you used a pretty interesting choice of words for your 'latino' and 'negro' friends. Do you call your friends 'negroes' to their faces? Do you call your 'latino' friends 'morenos'? Because that would be the equal term...Or 'African' if we're referring to 'Latino'.
Wow...too much writing, but like I said, all genuine questions.
I call my friends by their name, usually.
But if I was to describe a crime that I witnessed to the police, I would use the term Negro, or possibly black, if the perpetrator was a black person. I would say Caucasian if he was white. I don't know the equal term for Negroes, really. Brown would probably be a term closer to the truth, but I didn't invent the terminology.
And Mozzy, I hope you're not serious in that statement. You think a white person calling a black person a nigger is in the same context as a black person who says it to another black person?
I can't answer for this guy, but I think all sensibility is gone in that discussion, really. I know there's an unwritten rule amongst Afro Americans that one can call the other "Nigga", but it's not OK for a white person to do so. If they don't like it, they should not say it at all, or embrace it and let it be a "legal" nickname for everyone to use. But I don't really care about that discussion, really, I never really use the term myself.
To me, at least, there is a clear difference between Negro and Nigga.
Also, for me at least, Nigga don't really describe race or color, but a way of dressing and musical taste that is also fairly common among white people. I generally call them "Rappers", or "Yo folks", if I need to describe them in any way.
Do you find it okay to slag off all races because you've heard 'one of them say it to another'? You go around calling Italians guineas and wops?
I've heard a latino call another a spic, but I don't go around using that as a reason to do it myself.
Maybe I would if I thought like that though. Sounds like an excuse to me.
Imagine that, I should just go around calling white people 'pale', or 'cracker' or 'devil' just because I've heard one of them use it. When confronted with an inevitable racism charge, I'll just say they're using the 'race-card' again.
I think I'm starting to see how this works....
I'm not sure how much of the above was aimed at me, but in general I don't really care what people call me, and I really expect the same line of thought in return. Those who know my name generally use it, and I don't really give a shit about the rest. "The long haired dude with a big nose" is a description I've heard quite often aimed at me, and I have a mirror so I know it's pretty close to the truth. So I don't generally think they say I have a big nose to be nasty, but rather to describe me close to the actual truth.
So when I say Negro, or Black, I don't put more into it than skin color to be honest.
Not much PES vs FIFA left in this thread, but it's an interesting discussion anyway. At least now that a few sane people joined in.
No. Seeing things in black any white is about seeing the world only in terms of extremes. You fail again. Life lesson for you: Trying to cover up your original idiotic comment with yet another moronic statement only shows you're not man enough to admit your first mistake. People see right through that stuff bro and it makes you look like a complete fool, twice over.
I can see how a person with a racist attitude or a persecution complex or maybe just anger management issues might try and turn this into an argument about black = bad, white = good. You telling us that's the case with you?
Thank you! You're much better with words than I am, clearly.
