This happened the other month, but I've been thinking about it awhile now.
Two black dudes were walking home or to a car or something after the school day was over, and I overheard one of them saying this.
Just thought I'd share.

Jon had taken Donal and Benjen’s advice to heart: Sam may be fat and pathetic, but he is still a member of the watch, and one of the few black brothers who isn't a rapist or thief. (out of context, this sounds ridiculously racist)

Reminds me of in college when one of my black classmates told me that I needed to admit to her that white people were still racist, and that I needed to apologize for slavery. Yep we sure had some good black slavery plantations in freaking Romania during the Ottoman invasions...

"We are a brave people of a warrior race, descendants of the illustrious Romans, who made the world tremor. And in this way we will make it known to the whole world that we are true Romans and their descendants, and our name will never die and we will make proud the memories of our parents." ~ Despot Voda 1561
"The emperor Trajan, after conquering this country, divided it among his soldiers and made it into a Roman colony, so that these Romanians are descendants, as it is said, of these ancient colonists, and they preserve the name of the Romans." ~ 1532, Francesco della Valle Secretary of Aloisio Gritti, a natural son to Doge
We (my people) also had some great tobacco plantations in Lebanon and France.
I think that there are some black people who use the issue of their ancestors (possibly*) being slaves as an excuse to hate whites, simply because things are not going so well in their lives.
*Just because somebody is African American doesn't mean that their ancestors are slaves; in fact, if I were black, I would take offense to that assumption.
Man, Americans don't get irony.
Haha, yeah!
It's Jews, gypsies and gays that Romanians need to apologise for!
Was it you that claimed there had been no racism in Romania for one hundred years, or was that somebody else? That was a great post.

What exactly does this prove?
What if it were two white people saying "man, black people are so racist"? What if two white people were saying "man, white people are so racist"?
I hardly think that there's anything to be learned from one comment overheard without any context. Maybe they were joking. Maybe they'd just been accosted by a gang of neo-nazis. Maybe they were racist. There's not really any way of telling.
I wonder how long it'll take for this thread to become a dumping ground for people to complain about how white people are second-class citizens these days.![]()

Welcome to Zimbabwe. Or South Africa.I will start paying actual attention to them when I begin to see white people being hanged on trees while the darkie perpetrators get away with it.
"Romans not only easily conquered those who fought by cutting, but mocked them too. For the cut, even delivered with force, frequently does not kill, when the vital parts are protected by equipment and bone. On the contrary, a point brought to bear is fatal at two inches; for it is necessary that whatever vital parts it penetrates, it is immersed. Next, when a cut is delivered, the right arm and flank are exposed. However, the point is delivered with the cover of the body and wounds the enemy before he sees it."
- Flavius Vegetius Renatus (in Epitoma Rei Militari, ca. 390)
No one gave a flip about lynching when it could be kept out of sight and out of mind. It only became an issue when Civil Rights groups started putting images in venues where people could see them, causing outrage. See the the lynching of Jesse Washington, aka the Waco Horror to learn how that played out.I will start paying actual attention to them when I begin to see white people being hanged on trees while the darkie perpetrators get away with it.
Blacks today do indeed commit atrocities against Whites just as bad as Whites used to commit against them, with two significant differences. First, it is done by individuals to individuals, whereas lynching was a public spectacle that the whole community frequently participated in. Second, the media deliberately buries stories of more brutal Black on White crimes, whereas it once and still does do the opposite for Black on White crimes. Whether the media does this out of bizarre malice towards the White middle class or an equally bizarre sense of noblesse oblige towards Blacks is an interesting question to consider.
The point is that moral outrage is laughably easy to twist, control, and manipulate by those who control the images people see every day.
