Get back to me when the consideration goes both ways. Until then you can keep your overt liberal apologism and bias.

So a white person saying nigger on a message board equals systematic racism convicting them of crimes in a court of law because of their race?

Really? Is that really what you read? Seriously? I am suppose to address this response as if what you wrote has ANYTHING to do with my prior words?

How's this; never mind . . . I am too stupid to understand your reasoning. My fault . . . I am sure you are clear in all your posts . . . it's just me.

You responded to a post about SOCIETAL RACISM with an anecdotal comment about how people (individuals) use the word nigger.

So.. you tell me.

This is the type of society Jamie Foxx's thinking is going to bring us....

Bob, a white man, works in insurance sales and is friends with Walter, who is a black man. They are "work friends" and Bob finally invites Walter and his family over for a family dinner get together, which was planned by his wife. Bob, being a normal man, doesn't ask his wife what is for dinner before extending the invitation to his friend. On the day of the dinner, Bob learns that his wife is making fried chicken, mashed potatoes, corn, deviled eggs, corn bread, and pecan pie. Bob now feels the need to uninvite Walter because he is afraid he will offend Walter and his family with the idea of inviting them over to eat and serving fried chicken.


Gay.
(Im sure some will say my example is gay too, so be it).

If we white people don't stick together and fight against it, our white privelige will be take away from us. We have to stand together to prevent whites from being discriminated against.

This comment doesn't even make any sense. You need "consideration" for not being able to detect jokes? That's odd.

If you ask, they will give you butter and honey. That's good on those biscuits.

Re: 'As a black person it's always racial': Django Unchained star Jamie Foxx explains

Maybe not everything, but frequently if you are a minority, it becomes apparent that quite a lot revolves around that status. For instance, you can become aware of quite a bit as someone with a disability how much revolves around proving to society you are "mentally competent" (and what the frequently subjective measurements are for that) to do almost anything.

The fact that you don't get the point about consideration being a two-way street, and generally not being given when the situation is reversed, confirms the point regarding bias and apologism. If the shoe fits...
 
Re: 'As a black person it's always racial': Django Unchained star Jamie Foxx explains

How does that make him a racist?

The word "racist" gets thrown around too flippantly, I believe.

Consideration for what? Not detecting a joke? I'm not aware of a double standard for people not being able to tell the difference between a serious statement and a joke. Maybe you should clarify instead of assuming I know what the hell you're talking about and insulting me for your vague accusations. Can you do that? Is that too difficult?

Especially when the person being accused of racism is a black person.

I happen to notice that still rings true on DP..... any time the subject of accusation of racism is a black person, the "term is thrown around too easily" and "it doesn't meet the definition because he/she doesn't think race X is superior to all other races"

Yet when a white dude says something that does not imply whites are superior......... that mother ****er.... is racist.

Got to hate them definitions and sociological understandings from the real world. Me too . . . now I know (from you) that as a white guy . . . blacks are racist against me.
 
Re: 'As a black person it's always racial': Django Unchained star Jamie Foxx explains

Well, a racist is someone who believes that one race is superior to another. Jaime Foxx describes being hyper-aware of race, all day every day. That's not the same as believing one race is superior.

I think "paranoid" is a better word to describe Jaime Foxx than "racist."

What if I am white but believe that Asians might be superior? Am I being a racist against my own race?

Can I copyright that and sell spicy condiments using that as my brand name?
 
Re: 'As a black person it's always racial': Django Unchained star Jamie Foxx explains

Technically, yes. It's not that rare to find, either. I have a few asian friends who believe that white people are superior to asians.

Is it possible that, if most people use "racist" to describe what is actually 'paranoia', even if technically incorrect, is a sign the word is evolving to include said paranoia and that the dictionaries simply haven't caught up yet?
 
Re: 'As a black person it's always racial': Django Unchained star Jamie Foxx explains

I suppose, but it's more useful to know the right word. What we have are two separate concepts. To be racist is to believe in the superiority of one race over another. Superiority complexes need to be dealt with one way.

To be paranoid is to have delusions of persecution, and a general sense of mistrust.

Dealing with paranoia is different from how you would deal with someone with a superiority complex.
