White Boy Drunk: Racist or Not?

I'm not telling Bill Cosby he shouldn't be upset at the ubiquitous use of the word in the black community. Thunder is speaking in absolutes about it. I am not. Of course black people can still use it in an insulting manner towards each other. That isn't the common context it is used in though.

This is an absolute, but thanks for clarifying.
It's not self-loathing. They are taking power away from the word when they use it. It is the context it is used in that is important.
 
No, we are both white. His skin is lighter than mine, which is pretty hard to do.

Why do we have to be black? Is race that important to you? :ssst:

"Black" was just the politically correct term you folks wanted to be called. Before that it was "African 'American". What is it today?
 
We need this guy for president...to get us past all this racism and other bull****...

 
Since you are the one making the accusation, isn't it up to you to prove your accusation?
I already did and so have a bunch of other people in this thread, but your either being super dishonest or you're illiterate so you didn't understand.
 
would you ever insult a black person on how dark his skin is?

Now this is a straw man. You were talking about black on black interactions. I spoke about white on white interactions. Now you want to switch it up and make it black and white interactions which is pointless because your original point was about racial self-loathing.

I've never wanted to be called black. I'm white. :lol:

First you accuse me of not understanding what "double-standard" means, now you are accusing me of being "super dishonest" or illiterate. All without proof. Maybe you are the one that should study, buddy. Try this book: Amazon.com: How to Debate, Revised Ed. (Speak Out, Write On! Books) (9780531111222): Robert E. Dunbar: Books

Now please excuse me while I go back to listening to Dr. Dre sing about bitch niggaz.

would you ever make jokes about the skin tone of a black person?
 
isn't it obvious?????

Not in the least. You said black people making fun of black people for their skin tone was caused by self-loathing.

He asked whether or not his jokes about a fellow honkey's skin tone were also caused by self-loathing in your estimation.

Logically speaking, asking a cracker whether he makes jokes about a black person's skin tone doesn't make any sense in this context.


By the way, is my use of the terms "cracker" and "honkey" in this post an example of my self-loathing?

I have a friend who is very, very dark. When we take pictures and he smiles he tends to squint his eyes shut. If the flash doesn't work well you can't usually make out much of his face except his teeth. Occasionally I've made a crack about him baring teeth at night just to be seen. He doesn't take offense to it or think I'm being racist because of it. He tells me I glow in the dark because I'm so pale. I don't take offense or think he's being racist because of it.

My god, your life must be incredibly stressful...what with all those damned egg shells you have to tip-toe across to avoid your ridiculous standard of offense.

do white people in the USA have a history of slavery & oppression based on the concept that they were racially inferior?

no, no they do not.

HEY, why so serious.jpg

no, no they do not.

Not racially inferior, but socially inferior, yes we do. Indentured servitude and oppression on the basis of financial status was incredibly rampant in this country for quite some time.
 
So then you're illiterate.
Lies, false accusations and personal attacks. Is that all you have? No facts? No actual debate points? You are living up to your political leaning of "liberal".
 
Not racially inferior, but socially inferior, yes we do. Indentured servitude and oppression on the basis of financial status was incredibly rampant in this country for quite some time.

oh, and this was done to white people....by which people?
 
You and Wake don't know what a double standard is. You should look up context and study it intently.

I understand what a double standard is. A big one that comes to mind is "Affirmative Action."
 
Not racially inferior, but socially inferior, yes we do. Indentured servitude and oppression on the basis of financial status was incredibly rampant in this country for quite some time.

Socially and racially are not even remotely the same. To even infer that it is, shows a complete disconnect from the reality's of the 2 very different situations.
