Yeah, you're right, slavery is over. But the oppression and lynchings were still happening,in my mother's lifetime, and she's only 66, so you can kill that guilt trip noise. And it seems as if you don't know the difference between being racist and being prejudiced. Ever heard of institutionalized racism? Big difference from just not liking someone because of the hue of their skin. Racism is systematic, being prejudiced isn't. I sense a lot of contempt for black people, in general, coming from you.

Calling it like I see it. If you don't like the truth, tough.
I worked with the public for 25 years, thousands of contacts with thousands of people. The most racist, by far, were the blacks, and they didn't bother hiding it.
They never do and they get away with it because of the old American guilt trip that is 147 years dead - slavery. Isn't it time to get over it?
Do what about what, champ? Don't try that tough guy sh!t with me, I'm responding to your post. That's what we do on ATS. But I will say this, face to face, if you exuded your contempt in a disrespectful fashion, things would get interesting. And thanks for confirming what I already suspected about you, internet tough guy.

And you're going to do what about it?
You have the wrong black guy. And I never said you wouldn't speak the same way, I said if I was disrespected, things would get interesting, and they would. I'm not some young, ''gangsta'', ''hood'' dwelling black guy. FAR from it. I'm not one of those cowards. And I wouldn't give two sh!+s about ''white guilt''. GTFOH with that nonsense. And in combat, I resort to bullets as soon as my enemy engages me with firepower, champ.

I would speak to you the same way face to face. I don't suffer from white guilt.
I speak my mind. Unlike certain members of certain communities I wouldn't resort to bullets in a one on one situation.
So is there more racism in the black community than there is in the white community?

what would the world be like with romney.
1. war with iran. hint, the israeli's won't be fighting this one. so if you're in the military, and if you want to go to invade the persian empire and try to occupy a country with 70,000,000 heavily organized and armed insurgents, vote for romney.
Ryan said last nite, No war without crossing red line. Obama says the same thing.
your life span will be 3 months max.
Where did you come up with this number?
2. if you like obama's strategy of not starting wars unless attacked, then vote for him. obama's strategy is based on reality, not on what ifs. vote obama.
We have sent troops to several countries since obama took office. the latest=Lebanon.[b/]
3. the economy: romney's economic plan is simple. make the rich happy and re-affirm their belief that they are the best. their unbitterness will lead to a more happy workplace, and less firings and layoffs. vote romney.
unfortunately, you'll never see another raise for the next 4-8 years and your taxes will increase without notice to offset your bosses new tax havens, loopholes and tax cuts.
No such thing....You are gullible to the DEM talking points without proof.[b/]
4. obama's economic plan is a bulldozer, it's going one way and stops for nobody. that means corporations, wall street, banks, lenders, realtors, retailers et al, better stop their crooked and unethical ways or risk oblivion under obamas regulations.
Who propped up the banks and the auto industry????Obama[b/]
basically levelling the economic playing field. and access to opportunities, advancement and better pay and benefits. key word "access", meaning you can buy and have peanut butter because the cabinet is unlocked. not entitlement, freebies or socialism that they like to scare you with.
No way to level the economic playing field, unless you want socialism[b/]
5. healthcare: romney's healthcare plan, like his other policies is impossible to define because it completely 180's every day. he's say's he'll repeal obamacare, then the next day he says nothing.
one day he believes corporations are people, but a baby in a mothers womb is not, then the next day he's rambling about food stamps. vote for romney if you like cracker jacks, gambling and surprises.
Kinda like....."we need to pass obamacare so we can see what's in it????[b/]
but its save to assume, the only ones who'll benefit from romneys healthcare are the insurance companies and its stock holders. not you, because you'll most likely be declined live saving coverage because a pimple would be considered a pre-existing condition.
Grasping......[b/]
6. obama's healthcare plan: everybody basically knows what they'll get, to bad no one understands it because it has been riddled with lies and half-truths. the one good thing, as a second term president, he can basically do what he wants and shape it to his original vision.
affordable access to 1st world medicine for all americans. vote obama.
edit on 11-10-2012 by randomname because: (no reason given)
Let me put it like this, racism is the inherent belief that YOUR race is superior. Play all the word games you'd like, your choice. Being PREJUDICED is not liking people of another race, but has NOTHING to do with a sense of superoirity. The logic of saying blacks are RACIST reveals the comprehensive skills of some people. Saying black people can be RACIST, is saying that the descendants of former slaves have a superiority complex. REALLY??
