Racism against white people

[aceking90]

Here is an interting story from college. An African Amercian student who was a moddle student, good grades, keep out of trouble, was one day brought to the deans office by a police man. The cop told the dean the kid got in some trouble, and the dean said he would have to put this on the kids record. The African Amercian student told him was innocent even though thoe there were wittnesses. After wards the student told the dean that if he was white the dean would have beleived him. And the dean believed him too. My feeling is that it was the student that was racist against the European American dean, and the dean being white went along with it. What do you think? Has our fear of racisam turned it so it's ok to be racist agianst white people, but no one else?

An example of this is that no one can say the N word, which is fine, but a black comedany can say cracker, which I find to be just as bad, on live TV and not get into any majore trouble.

People walk on eggshells around Blacks because they're oversensitive and are (perceived to be, anyway) much more likely to resort to violence if someone says the wrong thing, and if you don't don't hang around them often you don't know where the line is. Not to mention an accusation of racism can destroy a White bureaucrat's career, while Blacks don't really have to worry about it. It's a case of the squeaky wheel getting the grease.

It is funny that this debate has risen up now, because it has become so apparent that there is a move to put whites into a box marked offensive. Have you noticed that on our TV screens more and more non whites are making an appearance and even in our adverts where a couple can be involved it is in many cases a black man with a white woman.

TV shows where the chief detective was once an elderly white man is now ones where the black man suddenly has taken over as head. No longer is the black man another detective, now he is ruling the roost in almost all our shows, or at least many of them and growing. Now merit is one thing but who is it that can say in percentage terms coloured people are entitled because of their race to suddenly appear to be able to replace white people.

Call it what you want apart from racist because there is definitely a move on to make something that is not normal to be normal and that is wrong. Is it wrong to suggest that there is nothing more racist to see persons replaced by others just because they are coloured? If we cannot be honest with others at least be honest with ourselves. What is happening is racism in reverse. Where it stems from is another question.

If you think that the fact that more ethnic minorities are appearing in various forms of media is something to be concerned about, then that doesn't say that you've spotted some sort of wrong that's being perpetrated - it says that you're being hugely oversensitive.
An actor is an actor is an actor. Who cares?

I think it's pretty obvious that the media is promoting, subtly in some cases and overtly in others, interracial romance and marriage. Doubtless as part of some vague pie-in-the-sky plan to bring about an end to racism by bringing about an end to distinct races. Whether this is a bad thing or a good thing is another argument, but it can't really be denied that they're doing it at this point.

It's equally racist to treat blacks differently for such an arbitary reason as them being "oversensitive": as calling them or spear chucker.

Well, I remember in a season of the amazing race, one couple was interracial, a white man and a black woman, and the black woman's mother objected to their engagement. Imagine if it were the other way around, they'd calling the white guy's family nazis or something.

Assuming this is true (and it doesn't seem likely, given that it is a story with no details whatsoever) - all it proves is that people are racist to one another. It doesn't say anything about whether it's ok or not.

An example of this is that no one can say the N word, which is fine, but a black comedany can say cracker, which I find to be just as bad, on live TV and not get into any majore trouble.

Hm, I wonder why. Could it be because the "n-word" has a hell of alot worse history than the word "cracker"?
That's like complaining that you can call someone an idiot on TV, but you can't call them a mother-er.

[Poach]

I thought it was common knowledge that only whites can be racist, and that anything anti-white is totally ok?

[Arch-hereticK]

Or so the racists like to think.

Arch-hereticK,

Could they be the people who think along the lines of multiculturism as being the answer to some perverted idea that we are all equal?

No, I think everyone agrees with that statement to various degrees.

did racism first kick off after WW2?

It's always been around...

And there was slavery before that. That's about as racist as you can possibly get, and it's against every race, not just white people or black people. But now, we have a strange twist of racism that I dub "accomodating racism," where somebody is overly, likely falsely, nice to somebody because they are of a certain race. An example comes a few months ago from a senate hearing, where California senator Barbara Boxer brought up how wonderful it was that the chairman of the Black Chamber of Commerce was present at the hearing. He proceeded to tell her off, as well he should have, for being condescending and pitting black people against eachother for political gain on her part.

My thoughts are this probably didn't even happen. I suspect black comedanys can say comedians, as well as cracker.
