Mark W Posted January 13, 2005 Report Share Posted January 13, 2005 Someone click the link? :D Nah, anyway, Jon's right. It's simply a defining feature. If you choose to stone someone 'cos of it, you're acting on the information you have to act in a certain way. Totally ignoring it could be seen by people to be rude to, because people do have a pride in their history, e.g. black people over-coming prejudice and opression.

Brian Bleech Posted January 13, 2005 Report Share Posted January 13, 2005 (edited) Yeah, so basically describing someone as "black" is a lot different to prejudging them because they're "black". ← i think i wanted to say that but forgot in earlier post :D but yeah society is f**ked up and a lot of people think describing some as black is being racist, when its not! mike Someone click the link? :D thats almost got me before but nocticed where is was linked too. part of still wonders if its a real site :D :- Edited January 13, 2005 by leedstrials Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbo Limbo (Trials Chimp) Posted January 13, 2005 Report Share Posted January 13, 2005 Tall people, Short People, Happy People, Grumpy people - but never black or white people. Sam ← So its OK to describe people in terms of hight or mood, but not race? I think its time everyone realised that people are different. Its not bad to describe someone as black so long as its not in an offensive way. You can say that we are all 'people', but the fact is we are all different types of people. I think the main problem is that we recognise racism as racism. Stick with me on this for a second. In my opinion the moment we stop recognising black people as black, white people as white, Chinese people as Chinese... that is the point at which racism no longer exists. Thats rubbish. The moment racism will no longer exist will be when no-one is descriminated against because of their race. Describing a person as black is not descriminating, its just describing them. Some people judge people by their race,and it is these people that are the problem, not the classification of the race of people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJ Phaze Posted January 13, 2005 Report Share Posted January 13, 2005 I must admit, when I first read an article from The Onion, I was fooled - then I caught on, and slapped myself for being so silly.... :"> I will never forget an article about Stephen Hawking, and his revamped Wheelchair - it was a rocket-suit (The type of gadget Bond has....) - so he could get up stairs!!! And there was another one, claiming Bill Gates used to be a Window Cleaner - and Linus Torvalds (sp?) used to be a Penguin zoo keeper.....lmao Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If some black guy started taking the piss for me being white, I'm not gonna turn round and suddenly decide to be racist. A) That's stupid for someone who considers themself not a racist and B.) I'd just be lowering myself to their level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people put up with shit and don't cause a scene, and some people just let things be. I can't exactly have a go for you being different in that respect.

Sam Nichols Posted January 13, 2005 Report Share Posted January 13, 2005 Woah, looks like a helluva lot of slating going on just because people are posting their opinions. Seems a lot of people didn't agree with my view - but, like i said it is my opinion and it can't be changed. I jsut wanted to express myself. I think there is a fine line between discussing something and putting someone down because of what they believe in... Some of you have crossed that line. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
butcha87 Posted January 15, 2005 Report Share Posted January 15, 2005 The way i see it, you can joke about any race thats white,Irish,Scottish, Americans but when it comes to other races you're shot down. I mean I'm all against racism but sometimes it's pretty hypocritical! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted January 16, 2005 Report Share Posted January 16, 2005 Same way that the healthy, average White causcasian male has the least rights out of anyone in the world, in terms of disputes like racism and so on. Most white males haven't got a leg to stand on, which is kinda funny. It's like the big swing-o-meter's still kinda moving, as opposed to trying to find a happy medium. Take feminism for example. It used to be well in favour of men (no voting for women, really shitty state of society for them), but now women are allowed to take a lot of the liberties against men that used to be taken against them, so it seems that there needs to be a balance. Personally, I don't see the point any more in saying "25% of our workforce needs to be women", and other such quotas in that sense. You'd have kinda hoped that society today would've been open-minded enough to simply pick the best for the job, regardless of other sorta stuff like genre, race, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
