Alabama Pastor holds 'whites only' conference

You know that bit's whole purpose besides being funny is to show how stupid racism is.

It was very funny and it was meant to show how stupid "white" racism is__Selective critism_

Those stupid white people!__Don't they know that "racial exclusion" is a privilege exclusively for minorities?!

So you create a thread where you do not say anything about the actors in the story, but instead choose to focus on minorities as interest group politics. The part of "transcend" you don't seem to embrace is to be beyond that petty path you take.

It was criticizing all racism, not Dave's fault you can't see that.
 
I'll no doubt be branded a racist for this but :shrug: oh well.

Personally I see Emperica's point. Just look at this thread for instance. Granted she used the wrong group to use as an example but I still see her point....actually come to think of it...does anyone here know of any other white racist group? Without looking it up on the net btw. Just off the head. And sports don't count as those that hire the players are far more focused on money and winning to give two chits about race. They go for whoever is the best player period.

Anyways. I believe that the point that Empirica is trying to make is that those that are white racists are condemned far more and far more vocally by people than those that that are racist but of different color. Example that was used in this thread was the Black Caucus.

No one except Empirica is a racist here. We all understand the implications of Black only colleges and Brown pride t-shirts and all that. Yes, on the surface, it's not a good thing to divide people along racial lines, and one could see how something like a Black caucus could be construed as such. But the underling issue is the long history of black and brown people being treated like second-class citizens-- in fact, they were legally second -class citizens in many ways. The black power movements and other racial movements weren't totally out of hatred for white people (yes, it was there and still is); it was done as opposition to a society that said "You are not as good as white people". Well, they heard that and said, "No, I am not!" Black pride came out of a situation in which society at large said black was less than. Racial movements from that situation we're meant as proof that we are humans, we are just as good as you. As this idea progressed, many black people living in similar situations said, "We're not being represented, or we will not be represented, by a government that sees one race as lower than the other". So they formed their own political parties, caucuses, organization, college funds and so on.

Are you serious? I can name like thirty of the top of my head! Conservative Citizen's Council, Hammerskins, Aryan Nations, The Order, World Church of the Creator, the Political Cesspool...

Did "race" by chance have anything to do with your choice?

Noooooooooo.

Seriously, what a ****ing painfully stupid question. Is there anything you do not see as racially motivated? I think we see the problem now, it is that you think of everything in terms of race, so expect every one else to do the same. That explains why your posts are so devoid of any sort of reason.

I can answer, race had nothing to do with it, but it probably had something to with his gritty style of play, and tenacity in front of the net.

In part, but not wholy. He played the game the way it should be played, all out. He never took a shift off. He did not have the top skillset, so he found ways to make an impact with what skills he did have, and in fact he made every team he played for better. He reminded me alot of a Chris Draper kind of player, who is glow in the dark white and yet also one of my favorite all time players.

I understand this. But I think that it has gone far beyond simple "No, I am not!" and has gone off the deep end. Best example I can think of offhand is the New Black Panthers when they put a hit out on Zimmerman. I saw a lot of people ignoring it or making fun of it (iirc some even supported it) or just blowing it off. Yes there were a few that condemned it, but when compared to how this thread proceeded....the whole NBP thing was a drop in the ocean.
 
Empirica said:
Which do you believe is the greatest potential threat to a racially diverse nation???

1- A form of racism that is tolerated by no one other than those directly involved?
or
2- A form of racism that is not only socially accepted, but government sanctioned as well?

I choose number two.

True, but let's be real; the NBPP is a.) a dozen or so pissed off racist black losers and b.) has been disavowed by original Black Panther party members and c.) black racist groups are far outnumbered by white racist groups.

I'm talking about more mainstream, black-only organizations, like a Black caucus or the Negro College Fund.

Hahahahahaha.

God, I hate black racists. But you know I almost never run across a white racist. Most of us are too busy trying to make a life...

You don't know what the word "racist" means do you?
