i will give you an example of social justice:

A man who is hungry because he has not eaten in 3 days goes into a store, and takes a loaf of bread, and walks out of the store, he gets caught, under social justice the man should not face justice because his hunger justified his need for food and to steal.

Actually, under local laws, the judge will award him with 3 hots and a cot for at least 30 days.

No more hunger for awhile! :D

I disagree. Begging should certainly come before theft. Show respectful and moral behavior and others will help you. Steal because you believe it's justified and you will only dig yourself deeper.
 
Definitely racist.

But there is one thing that throws a wrench into this obvious conclusion.

In Florida, the white's were called "crackers," by the native Americans who lived there. They were called this because, before there were white/non-native American settlers in Florida, the non-Native Americans would drive their cattle to graze in the Florida area. They were called "crackers," because their bull whips made loud "cracks," that reportedly could be heard miles away.

So, technically, any non-native American (ie: Seminole, etc.,) can be a cracker in Florida. I suppose that could mean black folks too if they participated in those cattle drives.

In Florida, it is common to hear, "Yeah, he's a good ol' cracker boy." It is a term of endearment meaning the person is native Floridian settler and not a "tourista," or snowbird or transplant.

Food for thought.

i understand what your saying for the most part, accept the last.

its social justice advocates that they are trying to justify the stealing, those that preach social Justice see things through that prism, that if you steal, and you were hungry in doing it, its justified and fair...not the one stealing.
 
Wouldn't you like to be a cracker too? :2razz:

Say it loud! I'm a cracker and proud. LOL!

Seriously, as much time as I spend FL I might as well be one.

One day soon, I hope to be getting my mail there.
 
All this cracker talk is making me hungry.


MMM, good cracker.

Hmmm. pretzels look kinda kinky!

What's the difference between kinky and perverted?

Kinky is using a feather during sex.

Perverted is using the whole chicken!
 
Oh, let me answer. Picaninney. Every southern troop formation had one to sing, dance and eat watermelon. Seriously, this crap is so far over the top I find it hard to believe these folks make these claims with a straight face. And Shrubby is going to fight for the elimination of racism in the US from Europe. Somehow I don't think any hatred of racism is at the root of this. I don't know why I would think such a thing...

Southern units also had preachers that were black men.....

And Soldiers....Voluntary even...

But people tend to overlook things of that sort because it doesn't fit the mold they preach.
 
Prejudice from a source without the power to enforce that prejudice is meaningless.

So... what power do I have to enforce any prejudice? You think someone has power simply because they are white?

If that ain't the most racist thing I've ever heard.....
 
I love how these threads always devolve into both sides trying to out maneuver the other with backhanded accusations of racism. Which is likely why race relations will only continue to stagnate in this country
 
Yes and common bigotry or prejudice are ok, right?

That's a dumb argument. Better: compared to racism, they are socially insignificant.

I think this is where the disconnect between you and some other people are coming from: they are equating your denial that it's racism with a denial that it is racist.

Not everyone was made for grad school and some would just prefer to equate all racial bigotry as equal to that which was and is perpetuated against blacks in the US.
 
Quick question. Who are the oppressors? Am I by virtue of the color of my skin? Reginald Denny was an oppressor so dragging him out of his truck and beating him nearly to death because he happened to be white was justified?

I seriously wouldn't make it in liberal land.




Sounds like you are projecting.

Who has ever said that beating Reginald Denny was justified?

Have you ever been outraged over the mistreatment that Black people in the USA have suffered, and continue to suffer every day in conservative-land ?


I doubt it.

You realize that whites, in the United States, are the ones who control the power structures in society, right? Of course it's only institutional "if whites do it". They're the ones in power, LOL. What the **** kind of thread is this? LOL

Who is the President again?

The President of the USA is Barack Obama.

He won re-election last year.

Mitt Romney was on the wrong (Losing) side of every social issue.

He lost.

Sure seems to me like whites are not the only ones who control the power structures.
