No, constant whining about white people being evil is racist. This lady sticking up for her own was noble
Actually, there is no difference between whites sticking up for each other or blacks sticking up for each other, except that with whites, it is considered to be a vile form of racism, and with blacks it is considered to be a noble deed. I don't know what is noble necessarily, but I do know what is fair. Fairness is not equal outcomes, fairness is equal opportunity.
I don't believe for a minute racism is only because of the color of one's skin, or the shape of their body, with most racist. I believe conduct along with color has a lot to do with racism.
If conduct is the factor or the way one is treated, then every black person should have been a racist up until what year would you say? - - - Updated - - - Sticking up for someone and being a racist are two different things totally. Now I guess you could hide behind that, but whatever floats your boat.
Perhaps you have read the wrong history, you make it sound so simple, but you ignore true history in every way.
I know there is a lot of racism among Blacks for Whites. Do you really think it's all because they don't like the color of their skin, or because the way Whites treated them?
I know the true history, see I came at the back end of Jim Crow segregation. Now if I am in error please bring me up to speed of black folks racism and discrimination against whites in this country. - - - Updated - - - You answered your own question, but there is a difference between hatred and racism.
I didn't grow up worldwide, I grew up in America. - - - Updated - - - I disagree, you have to be in a position of power to act on your racism which produces discrimination.
You may have to, to act on it, but not everyone who is a racist acts on it. Racism is a feeling in your mind about another.
Yes, I guess bigotry would be a better example. But do you think racism is more about the color of one's skin than the idea that one is inferior than the other? I mean you can be the same color as others and have racism, can't you? Look at how many people from the North look down on people from the South.
So is it wrong or isn't it? Its only bad when black people get called bad names but fine when its directed towards white people? To me, its wrong no matter WHO its aimed at. You disagree?
tWhat makes you think racism only exists in this country? - - - Updated - - - Do you think that this country only experiences racism? - - - Updated - - - At least for this country, racism or being racist is wrong because it demonstrates a person lack of respect of themselves onto others.
Why is racism wrong? So you don't see why basing hiring decisions on the color of someone's skin instead of their skills is wrong? Why pulling someone over just because of their race is bad? Why passing laws that give privileges to one ethnic group over another is abhorrent. Why treating people of certain races like they are less than human is evil? If you don't see any of these things as wrong, then I feel sorry for you, you live in a world of ignorance, however, if you think any of the above is wrong, then you should know why racism is wrong. As for your justifications for racism (and other justifications on this thread), I just have to ask, when did two wrongs make a right?
I'd say that is just liberal semantics. - - - Updated - - - Except it's not an excuse. - - - Updated - - - South Africa was a fine nation until they ended apartheid, now look at the place! - - - Updated - - - Typical lib. So, go on out into the developing world and see how much they love the white guy. Then you'll see how idealistic your PC laws really are.
Oh dear. Nazis are leftists? Where did you find that little nugget of pure ignorance? Oh I see; it was the word 'socialist' in 'National Socialist' which confused you. Never mind, you'll learn one day.
That isn't racism, it's prejudice born of stupidity. Racism (the clue is in the word), is bigotry/hatred/prejudice against another race/colour.
