Sameer Posted August 31, 2005 Report Share Posted August 31, 2005 hello just time for a quick pointless thread about racial inequality in america at a time when everyone's the same thanks to katrina. article 1 article 2 note how the black man is a looter but the white folk are just 'finders'. also note how the white folk "wade" their way through (courageously) while the black guy is just strolling along supposedly. bye. xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lawnmowerman Posted August 31, 2005 Report Share Posted August 31, 2005 Constant stupid topics? :) (Y) Sameer has a valid point. I think racism is close to being THE most idiotic thing coming a close second to religion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D-L-B Posted September 1, 2005 Report Share Posted September 1, 2005 Maybe it was Sameer's sense of being part of a well voiced ethnic group, overproportionately represented and vocal in the British media that led him to make assumptions about the stereotyping of other ethnic groups in other societies and possibly feel some kind of guilt.

Michael Hardman Posted September 1, 2005 Report Share Posted September 1, 2005 (edited) Bit off topic but people do need food and water to survie and seeing as theres going to be not infrastruture in place for quite some time where do the American overnment think there going to get these tings from. People should be able to loot for food and water and cloths but everything else like tv's, mp3 players etc shouldnt. On an igorant note its America let them see what its like to be f**ked.

andyroo Posted September 1, 2005 Report Share Posted September 1, 2005 Dont tell me that youve been searching through archives of pictures and articles to try and find something that could be interpreted as rascist, just so you have a good old whinge and feel better about yourself? (Personally, I believe that because you have decided to bring the differences of race into this rather than taking it as the victims of the hurricane are equal, YOU yourself are the rascist) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trebor Posted September 1, 2005 Report Share Posted September 1, 2005 It happens, every freakin' year, yet they still don't try to make any adjustments to their buildings or town layout. So they get f**ked every year, insurance companies get screwed etc. Japan, granted they prepare for earthquakes not hurricanes, have prepared their buildings to take an earthquake, minimalising damage and allowing the place to keep on working the way it should. Meh, it's only the pooey states that got affected anyways :) Edit: Yeah it's not strictly related to the topic but it's been bugging me. Andyroo, the point Sameer made was that "everyone's the same thanks to Katrina", they are all victims, they are all equal, yet the black dude's looting and the white peeps are "finding". Don't you think it's a tad silly to use those words? Meh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuse Posted September 1, 2005 Report Share Posted September 1, 2005 Or the more likely scenario is that both captions were written by two different people (not unreasonable considering the pictures are from two different news agencies). If both were done by the same author, then both sets of people would have been described as either "finding" or "looting". Stop looking for racism that isn't there.

Mr Motivator Posted September 1, 2005 Report Share Posted September 1, 2005 There's no reason to be racist, but to be honest, to end all of the world's war problems I think the only thing to do is deport all imigrants and ban religion.

I know others will agree :) ← I agree with the religion and I think I wnet about 100 steps further on from your point to say how we can sort Africa out aswel as poverty, desiese and many other things. People didnt like my idea even thoug it would be the logical if inhuman thing to do. Religion - that Muslim thing that happened the other day all becasue there are different types of Muslims , what the f**k why do you need different ytypes of Muslims its asking for trouble. Isreal is religio nwith a twist The knob that came up wth religion is the biggest plonker to ever live on Earth.

I noticed that last nite also. If i was to be really harsh I would perhaps question weather the black bag the afro american youth was carrying was filled with further items that has been 'found' and weather they were essentials or not. The couple had like a loaf of bread and a bottle of coke or summit between the two.... I don't know. I think that the different media centres are the reason for the differening terminology, don't forget BBC got told off for saying 'terrorists' in relations to an incident that had not been claimed by a terrorist organization. Its possible that the word 'finders' was used so not as to make the allegation that people are breaking the law.... whereas the other media group don't think about that and cal everyone looters.... :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you always on this racist power trip? Your points used to be pretty valid now its just getting like "Everyones racist!"

Don't you think it's a tad silly to use those words? Meh ← Me being the idiot i am i could be completly wrong here but. Those two news articles are from two different News Agencies. One news agencie describes Looting as "Finding" wether the bloke is black or white it doesn't matter. The other news agencie describes Looting as "Looting" you have picked two different news articles i don't think it matters what colour the person is.....

Trebor Posted September 1, 2005 Report Share Posted September 1, 2005 Very true, but it does still seem a tad silly to use that wording. I'm sure most people don't give a shit, and I'm sure Sameer doesn't either, I think he's just trying to stir . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaRtZ Posted September 1, 2005 Report Share Posted September 1, 2005 Maybe but to be honest looting and finding can be used to mean the same bloody thing "Oh look, I didn't steal this...I err 'found' it" Craig's right, if someone posted a topic for every time someone was racist, we'd need a new forum subsection. Racism = wrong. There, theres the moral of this story kids :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ducko Posted September 1, 2005 Report Share Posted September 1, 2005 has anyone considered that the coloured gentleman( >_< ) had been sein breaking into the shop where as the white people may have actually found it? just a thought? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
