no l am starting very nice and serious threads politically......
So when all you did was ask "does racism exist in the USA" and I come in arguing the obviously wrong answer, you don't think I'm being just as serious as your OP?

Yes there's racism wtf did you think? Do you not pay attention to the news, you don't know about Ferguson? ****in black racists setting fire to their own town and everything over there and you can't figure out if their's racism or not in the USA? Whaaaat?

And just in general, asking yes/no questions is a horrible way to try and start a conversation. Better to use open ended questions instead, and invite opinion.

Who cares about racism in the USA? Why do we have to care about that? What about in Turkey where a black man can't even marry a white skinned woman easily?
 
That you won't say the word, is racist. "Nigger" is portuguese for "black", so you'll say "black" in English, the white man's language, but you won't say "black" in any other ethnic context.

That's white elitism, that's racist.

Not using the term 'nigger' is racist. There ya have it, folks. It doesn't get any more backwards than that.

Who said I was oppressed? Go back and find exactly where I said that. And your judgement of what I must be, white, speaks volumes about your own prejudices. My answers must mean I am white, therefore you engage in the very prejudice we are talking about which is also rooted in pure ignorance.

It doesn't matter if you're white or black. People of all skin color, ethnicity and nationality are ignorant as to what constitutes racism as opposed to racial bigotry.

Is it your contention that racism and racial bigotry are the same thing? If not, what are the differences.

One can care about both. Why are you acting like cares are mutually exclusive? What the hell sense does that make.
 
I'm not. I'm saying, you people have a "US-Centric" view of race that pollutes your every post.
 

It's a country with over 300 million people in it. All "isms" exist and you can find people everywhere who don't like someone else; blacks, Hispanics, Jews, women, Catholics, Mormons, Muslims, fat people, gays people, etc. I assume this was a rhetorical question and you didn't really believe that everyone loves everyone in America?
 
Yes, still here. Better than the vast majority of the world, but the problem still pervades us. Is the situation improving? Sure, but it's still a process. Welcome to Earth, we're still doing this nonsense.

Did you read the thread title?
 
See that may be a complicated issue because Obama is more white than black, and his black side does not come from slave stock like his wife. I think they're calling Obama like "mah nigga" as one may hail Eminem.

Pretty much answers the question at hand....
 
You aren't a black racist though

Blacks can be racial bigots, sexist and homophobic but not racist. There is no systemic privilege for blacks to perpetuate in regard to race.

Every sociology department and most elementary school students understand racism is more than racial bigotry. You are the person with the narrow (and incomplete) concept, one which ignores the social considerations of a social construct.

Do you believe racism and racial bigotry are the same thing?

I believe that those who pretend blacks cannot be racist are enabling black racism and pretend that blacks are more impotent than they really are. Citing sociology departments to me ranks up there with Handgun control as credible sources. lets see your proof as to elementary school students.

No minority racial power has the ability to perpetuate systemic racial privilege. It's not really anything to do with blacks, it's a basic understanding of social power dynamics and their importance to understanding a social issue.

So you're the expert in sociology and every university department in the country is stupid. Great. Next you'll be the expert on culture and still maintain sociology is a scam.


Simple question: Do you believe racism and racial bigotry are the same thing? A yes or no will suffice.

I haven't seen any proof that every sociology department supports your claim

It's a simple thing, TD. Equating racism and racial bigotry is stupid. Do you honestly believe there is nothing more to racism than racial bigotry? Can you really equate the two?

That's what happens when you belong to the only relevant county on the planet.
