No I am not. I admitted in some cases I am not certain, hell I am only human. In those cases I listed it was because of skin color, period. You also know I am one of those that complain loudly about the thin skinned reactions to racism. So come again?



He was nice and friendly to everyone but me. Everyone else was white. What does this tell you? I was not the only male in the class. I was however the only black male in the class. He went out of his way to stay away from me to the point that other people noticed. What does this tell you?

I was a cop, so don't play that doing his job **** with me. If I was white, I would not have been stopped. If I was white, I would not have been pulled over so many times in the town a Matteson, Illinois I had to threaten a lawsuit. What does this tell you?



I was a cop. Yes I know. I also had to threaten a lawsuit and they stopped. This was in what? 87? Don't act like I am some kind of moron, please.



I was not breaking any law, I WAS A COP.



I WAS NOT SPEEDING, I WAS A COP. :roll:

I love Cain, I really do. This is however a perfect example of how conservatives try so hard to deny racism exists.

Im not denying racism exists....

Im just asking..... just please..... begging even...... for your own sanity and well being....... consider there are reasons outside of your race why people are doing some things first, unless they PROVE to you that it is because of your race.

Everytime a black woman with a ****ty attitude snubs me... I don't assume its because I am white. I assume she is just having a ****ty attitude day, or its just how she acts.

When I don't get what I want, its not because I think the black person refusing to give it to me is racist, its because maybe, just maybe, they CAN'T give me that of which I am asking for.



All I ask is that black people take OTHER things into consideration before claiming it is racism.



PS. As for the dude stopping you walking down the street. Maybe you were called on because you were black........... We get that alot in the Polease world.... but you should know that.... I call them "Minority in my Neighborhood" calls.

Yes because everyone acts in person just like they do on the internet. :roll: Or hell it could be I am annoyed by moronic questions like I have to lie or exaggerate about it to prove racism exists. My god.



I don't know if I passed them or they saw me from behind or the front. I just know I never got a ticket and had to threaten a law suite. Comprende?

How does a lie or exaggeration prove racism exists? It would seem to me it proves just the opposite. It also tells me that you would lie about a white person just to get him. You should NOT be in law enforcement.

Yeah, and they stop me because I'm a redhead. :rolleyes:

Meh, when was the last time you saw a movie with a black leading man? Not a comedy or a popcorn action flick starring will smith. A serious movie with a chance to win awards, that also doesn't revolve it's plot around the blackness of the character?

Nothing racist in what he said.

Probably Men in Black 3

Caine, in all seriousness, you know I don't like people who scream racism at the drop of a hat. I did however grow up in one of the most racist towns in the Midwest, Chicago. I was run out of Bridgeport Illinois because I was black (we got lost) no need to guess we got the hell out of there. We were chased by a mob that came OPUT OF THE BAR TO GET US. I have story's about not being served in a Shell station in Frankfort Illinois etc. Now most of this was in the 80's. What can I say, for the most part I know the difference.

I agree, which is why I used very specific story's. I have plenty more to. I don't think you realize how often it happens. I know sometimes I have been wrong or was just not certain.

As for the last one, that is possible and exactly my point. If I was a white man, do you honestly think the police would have been called?

Nobody has to prove anything to you so your needs are irrelevant. You have the luxury of not having to see what you don't want to see when it comes to racism and it's become fairly clear over the course of several threads that you've taken full advantage of that privilege. Stop pretending that there is actually something that could convince you that something other than blatant racism like lynching a black man in 1945 is racism. Hell, the way you're going, if this forum existed in 1945, you'd probably be the one guy saying, "how do you KNOW they lynched him because he was black?" I'm over your BS.

Don't tell me what to do. If you're so concerned with the quality of posting around here, maybe you should deal with the BS I responded to or people like johnny_rebson posting purposely racist nonsense. But I guess that kind of stuff doesn't warrant the same criticism? You agree with it?

I technically wouldn't call it racism I guess, but it's in the same ballpark.

I honestly thinks it's wrong to recognize race at all, because it's just not appropriate and isn't something that is proven to physically exist...

If I support any kind of political correctness, I would support that it isn't right to call someone white or black, etc... I admit I do at times, but it doesn't cross my mind with everything I do like it does for a lot of black people, all people are guilty of this obviously but Im just focusing on this cause of the OP.

When people say, "Im Black"... they arn't referring to their skin color... they are referring to a common alternate American culture that exists... but the word itself is prejudice, because it names a culture based on race and skin color, so it is used as a tool to group and label an entire population of African decented people against their will. These very labels keeps the prejudices alive and it keeps populations separate and foreign from each other as if they literally belong to different groups and don't belong with each other.

It is possible, depending on the person.

Some people are just paranoid of anything that moves in the night.... you said it was early morning..... if it was early morning enough for it to still be dark out... then it could be because you were black, it could be because that person was paranoid at anything that moves in the night.

I've seen calls come in when NOT black people but DIFFERENT people.

One guy called in on a "suspicious person" because there were two teenaged white kids walking around the neighborhood at 11:30pm on a Friday night... one of them had a green mohawk.

THEY MUST BE UP TO NO GOOD!!!!

All valid points man. You could be correct in that case. And yes it was early morning. Really though you know how I feel about the thin skinned crying of racism. I would not say it was so unless I was pretty certain man.

I have the luxury of being able to see an event through unclouded eyes, unlike those who immediately assume they have been slighted due to their race and paranoia about their race, OR those who will immediately believe any and all accusations of racism that a black person levies against another person regardless of whether or not there was one shred of evidence. You are the latter.

So you admit that it is okay to assume that someone did something because they were racist without one shred of proof.

I rest my case. I hope one day you don't have to tell a whiney black person, "No" to some type of request they make in the workplace which is then followed by you being accused of racism and losing your job over the baseless accusation.

Hate to tell you, but all races are not equal. Some are far more equal than others in terms of certain skills. And some are far more compromised in terms of illnesses and disease, example sickle cell anemia.

Not everything on the Internets is so serious. But of course, my humor isn't always humorous.

1. Your eyes are not unclouded. You speak through unacknowledged white privilege. As for your conclusions as to who/what I am, you couldn't have come to a conclusion farther from the truth which is not at all surprising given your stubborn ignorance.

2. I didn't say that.

3. I hope nothing for you. You've already shown yourself to be far beyond that.
 
Re: 'As a black person it's always racial': Django Unchained star Jamie Foxx explains

Please. I made a post about mental illness and SSI/welfare and was accused here of being a racist when it had nothing to do with race in any way, shape, or form. When people are so quick to throw that term around, do not be shocked that some people don't take it seriously. It is the Little Boy Who Cried Wolf syndrome. There are some horrible statistics out there indicating some serious issues with the black community, most of which are economic and the lingering result of segregation compounded by welfare dependency. How can we ever have a serious discussion when the left accuses every republican or anybody else who did not vote for Obama a racist, or the mere mention of public benefits is racist? When people are ready to step-off their victim high-horse, there are people willing to have those serious discussions. Until then, this is the bed that has been made.
