Racist against....whites?

[GBlair88]

Does anyone know any racist jokes about white people that are actually funny?

Try watching Richard Pryor...

400 YEARS OF TOTURE we should be able go pass the racsim rules

 

[Glademaster_v1legacy]

Because some white people were very bad and racist to them so it is kinda ok for them to be racist but it will stop eventually as it is racism as well and you can't have your cake in it's uneaten form and eat it too.

I do not agree with some things like saying that no white man knows what it is like to be a slave(obviously taking about their ancestors) as Irish were oppressed for twice aslong as black people.(also I don't mean for that to be taken the wrong way as I do not agree with what was done to black people but I don't like it when it is never acknowledged that other groups were oppressed too).

Welcome to the world.
-_-
Things have been that way for 30-50 years now. Honestly, I have no idea. I've never downed any other race for their color, but they're quick to judge me because I'm white.
I'm starting to think maybe I should fight back or something, fucking ass holes.

 

[StarStruckStrumpets]

I don't care really, if a black person made a racist comment about me, I shrug it off like a regular insult, it's just not something that I really find to strike a chord.

Oh, I also agree with nearly every comment, we got the least trouble, I can handle some backlash.

Well considering whites were racist and done horrible things towards:

Native Americans
Blacks
Asians
Latinos
Middle easterners
Hindus
Jews
and even their own women. (You know not having any civil rights and all)

Hindus, Jews and Women are all their own race?

All racism is bad. Nobody should be "allowed" to be racists just because of something that happened in the past. I think that special treatment towards minorities is racist towards those who are not part of a minority.

I'm white, I don't get any special scholarships because of it, why should anyone else?

Probably because the segregation only ended about 50 years ago, while slavery and racism were rampant for hundreds of years. Many of the arguments from white people I know basically boil down to: "Oh, that's all in the past and we don't agree with it and have apologized for it, so you're not allowed to be mad about it anymore." I think it's rather stupid.

Okay, the black people who are over 50 years old can complain about how the white people over 50 years old treated them. I'm sick of being thought the bad guy for stuff that happened decades and even centuries before I was born.

I'm sick of being told I have no right to be mad/offended about slavery/racism, but we can't always get what we want.

 

[Shadedblade]

Because liberals think two wrongs make a right.

Really? Why do you think that? There is no proof of correlation whatsoever between liberalism and this form of rascism that I know of. Please elaborate.

Something that's always kinda bothered me. When people talk about the past (slavery) they always refer to it as racism. That isn't technically correct. Rather than being racist, it was more the standard for a rich white man to own several slaves or so. Most of the people during that time were raised to think that having a slave was okay, that there was nothing wrong with it. And there wasn't anything wrong with it really, not racially anyway. The only thing that was truly wrong with slavery was the fact that the slaves were denied there basic human rights. Slavery was never racist, it was just wrong.

It seems like you've defined "that time" as all of history before World War II. That's rather unspecific.

You're correct in thinking that ancient slavery wasn't necessarily racist. Most ancient cultures did have racialist beliefs, at least. "Racialism" refers to the essentialist belief that human beings can be organized into races with fundamental biological, psychological, or social differences -- notice what's missing from the idea: a definitive hierarchy of races.

The slavery systems established by Europeans from the Age of Sail onward were definitely hardcore racist, however. Whites justified their pitiless exploitation of the rest of the world through the belief that they were superior to all others -- and, at the same time, they most certainly didn't believe it was okay to enslave other whites.

Rather, racism didn't really show up until around the 50's I think? Someone correct me if I'm wrong please. Anyways, slavery had long since been abolished by this time, and tensions were beginning to rise.

In America, post-slavery racial tensions started the very minute slavery was abolished. There was no warm-up period. Official segregation started with the collapse of Reconstruction in the 1870s.

In my city we give shit. There are off course those who would bend down and lick the dirt of someones shoe if the used tactiacal racism (wich is to find the ideal time to acuse someone for having some sort of racist belief against one to make the acused retreat in the fear of being considered racist)
However most of those whom I would consider not retarded here would not fall for this wich is the most common way for a man of an non"whitw" skincolour to perform racism.
I learned a quite intriging quote once:

It's racist to the minority as well since it is making an issue of their colour/religion/other instead of treating them as an equal.

Thanks for the lesson. It's kind of a shame in thinking that this subject will probably never die. It's seems like no one wants to drop the subject. But at least it makes for a really interesting history lesson. In the end, it's probably the only thing we can be grateful for. Again, thanks for the correction.

I think we may have gotten a wee bit carried away with it in the past, if you know what I mean.

Seconded, the thing seems to be we either completely forget history or try too hard to learn from it.

 

[Alex_P]

everyone has already assumed your talking about african caucasian relationships.

First post specifies "white man" and "black man".
