Why did you become a racist? Share your personal experiences.

There's more British nationals living outside of Britain, than there are Polish nationals living outside of Poland.

 

Northern Italians also have very tall, and wide skulls, like Polish do.

Although Polish have larger brain sizes than Northern Italians do.

 

Yes, because they colonized the globe officially, poles didnt

Poles have big heads you mean, yes. Have you ever seen a polish brain? Thought not. You'll forgive me for being a skeptic

 

my mom's racist and she's mexican american like several generations though. But I personally am not. I feel like black people are individuals but many can act one way or another. I have had sexual harrasment problems with black men actually the most compared to any other man and I just take that to a personal basis I think people are who they are and happen to have a specific skin tone.

 

I met a young man from Nigeria in the early 80's who was in the USA to attend college. He told me that he couldn't wait to finish school and return to Nigeria. Why? He said the racism here was awful. He said he didn't know how African-Americans could tolerate it. I jokingly told him we were used to it.
So, all African natives don't think like the ones you know.

 

Which examples of racial discrimination did he, or yourself experience?

 

When I was younger the saying "I'm free, White and 21" was popular. I haven't heard a White person say this in a while. Do they still say it among themselves or has it gone out of favor in recent years?

 

He said he experienced being treated differently than Whites. At school, in stores. It was just something he could sense. He wasn't a thug type person. He was polite and smart. He came from a family that had money; that is why he was going to school in the USA.
The racism that I have dealt with doesn't concern me too much anymore. What makes me angry is when my grandkids tell me of the ugly things they face. Example: My grandson's first job was as a security guard at a hospital. He was guarding a White woman who was mad because she couldn't get what she wanted from the doctor/nurses. So she started calling my grandson a Black gorilla. It hurt his feelings. He later asked me "why did that lady talk to me like that?" I tried my best to explain that she was just ignorant and taking her anger out on him. I didn't say she was a racist---which she probably was.
Then my granddaughter got a job at a call center. To the people calling in she is the service representitive. She said sometimes the White callers say things like "I know you're a (*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*) even though you try to sound White. Get off the phone (*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)". If they are not happy with her, all they have to do is ask for her supervisor. I'm sure they wouldn't talk like this to her face.
Why are some people so hatefula nd mean?

 

Whites are at the receiving end of black violence brought to us by evil doers who will destroy Western society from within.

 

If and when Western society is destroyed it will be done by the so-called leaders (the ones we see and the ones in the shadow govt) of the country. Their motivations will be greed for money and power. But---that's for another thread, not this one.

 

Actually, all it proves is that certain races have higher IQ scores than other races. In no way does it prove that one race is absolutely superior to the other.

That, or Whites failed to form a sturdy civilization to begin with.

 

What specific characteristic of a race would you consider to be a reasonable or an unreasonable gauge in determining that one would be a racist or superior to another?

 

Well, I believe that people are superior to others only in piety. Everything else is just pros and cons....

 

Your beliefs on racism or on superiority of a race over another seems to be similar to if not the same as my own. I think this whole debate over or contention that someone is a racist or a race supremacist is utter nonsense.

 

So you don't think there are average differences in jumping or running ability between different groups?

 

Like I said, every race has its pros and cons (be that strength, intelligence, zeal; and so forth). Sometimes these racial advantages work against their host; while there may be hidden blessings found in any disadvantages.

I believe that piety is what essentially makes one superior to the other. You on the other hand think it's intelligence.

 

********************************

I guess you do not read the bible much.


Luke 18:10-14 (KJV)

10 Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican.

11 The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican.

12 I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess.

13 And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner.

14 I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.

Humility, that is the key word....

 

I saw a documentary on TV. It was about an African village that was experiencing a very high sickness and death rate.

So a group of doctors went there to see if they could help. These tribe people basically were naked, and hunted with spears, and had no written language. There was a river flowing through their village. The doctors quickly found out that these people where using the same river as a toilet, and for cooking, bathing, and drinking water. The Doctors told them not to do that.

If anyone, thinks that there is any race, that is superior to these tribe people, well then they are racist, by the literal definition of the word.

 

Oh my, you think some here will call you a racist just for pointing out the obvious difference(s) between the races? If they do then I'll be happy to
have you join my exclusive club of forum racists. LMFAO!

 

I think it happens near puberty. Its at the point where the individual begins to try to find an identity that they can be proud of. Differences become incredibly important and often a very narrow version of what can be acceptable is developed.

Before puberty an environment that is either very racially exclusive and/or full of racially biased role models plays into things somewhat. But more as a subconscious factor than anything else because the psyche of the individual is still developing. It's in later psychological development that the individual either embraces the familiar and comforting or chooses to accept difference.

For those who choose to accept differences the ability to recognize bias in themselves is an ongoing process. For most people the events in adulthood either push them one way or another as being more or less accepting of racial difference. Often biases that individuals are unaware of can create friction and conflict, in worst cases this happens without ill intent on the part of the offender who then develops a defensive attitude. This defensive mental state then either solidifies or gives in to understanding. So most people either progress one way or another, depending on how threatened they feel.

At no point should anyone claim to be completely unbiased racially, unless they were raised by martians anyway. No one is really completely racist either. Everyone, of every race, is moving towards or away from being completely racist.

Personally I see civil rights as being a separate issue. Civil rights are about the tendency of the majority to stereotype and discriminate against minorities and endangered groups. It intertwines with racism given our history in the US, but it's not synonymous.

 

Piety? Really? I've always associated piety with one being full of one's self, not to mention arrogant...egotistical...conceited. You get the picture. I mean, how could I not when one uses the term 'superior (to others)' in the same sentence. So for me, those folks who believe they are pious pretty much operate in the same circle as those who are racists. YMMV.

 

Wow, someone who really has no idea that pious people have a devout reverence for GOD and not like a non believing secular pagan who lives out on the left coast with the rest of
those pot smoking commie dopes. So now I see you're calling devotees to GOD as being racists. Is there no end to your idiocy?

'hater. Wow indeed. I see you conveniently left out the following and thus virtually misquoting me and taking my response of it it's context. "You get the picture. I mean, how could I not when one uses the term 'superior (to others)' in the same sentence." Next time have the courage to fully quote someone and slither around the meaning of what they said.

 

What are you talking about? Your quote is "I've always associated piety with one being full of one's self". The definition of 'piety' is fidelity to natural obligations (as to parents) and or dutifulness in religion. Where in those definitions does it even come close to someone 'being full of oneself'? So you see again where you're way off base. And what's this nonsense about using the term 'superior (to others)' in the same sentence? I do get tired of pointing out your many faults here, so please try a little harder to get with the program.
