You, sir, have a troll on your hands. As per the guidelines, do not feed the troll, just report and move on. You have a good day, sir/miss.

Sorry to say, but from growing up near Detroit and spending a few years in a 95% black school, I can honestly say a lot of black people go out of their way to claim stuff is racist when its clearly not.

For instance, in my hometown, the black community wanted to name a road "Martin Luther King jr road" but there was already a street named that just a couple miles away in the same town. But they cried racism and said he hated black people. They threatened to get the Mayor fired for being racist if he didn't do what they wanted, so he resigned instead of dealing with the problem.

Another example is at my job, we have around 6 black men and women working there. This one black guy, Brian, is a huge screw up, is a lazy moron, and can't do the simplest task right. When anyone confronts him about him messing up, he yells that they're racist and threatens to report them to the corporate office.

As a Native American, I know white people aren't incapable of racist stuff, but this isn't the '60s anymore. I wish everyone would stop playing the racist card and live their damn lives

Ok i'll give you a quick heads up, if you say X people are Y, thats racist. This is because you are generalizing on a race of people. Even if you qualify it by saying "a lot of x people", its still generalizing. Now if you're giving a specific example thats fine, but it doesn't tell us anything about black people, nor could it.

Never said what I said wasn't racist. But to be more specific, I was talking about the black people where I live

And this dear sir is why you shouldn't pay too much attention to Youtube comments, the dude's either a troll or a massive moron.

being born white makes you racist, get with the times

don't forget it's gonna be "open season on the white guy" for a few years to come :/ guess whitey had it coming? yeah definately...but does it really do anything besides keep the cycle going?

It's hard to take you seriously on this matter when your avatar is Hitler wearing heaphones.

the act of pointing out racism is itself racist
thus racism activists should be jailed and the rest of us get free pot

What? Firstly if someone is obviously racist and I observe that it is racist how does that make me racist? Secondly... I guess I only had one question.

You didn't forget to turn in your "Human Faith" card yet, did you?

 

[subject_87]

...Really? You're using YouTube comments as a source of deep cinematic analysis? Fail.

 

[Thaius]

Yeah, never read Youtube comments. They're full of absolute bull like this. There is absolutely nothing worthwhile in those comments. Nothing at all.

 

[xc00l n3rdx]

... this is why I don't read youtube comments.

Seconded!!!

You rob us, car jack us, and shoot at us. But, when a white police officer shoots a black gang member or beats up a black drug dealer running from the law and posing a threat to society, you call him a racist.

You sir, are amazingly true, thank you for bringing this quote to my attention.

I'm afraid to say this, but the part about shooting and carjacking kind of seems messed up, I thought that part may have detracted from the overall message of the qoute, also I've noticed that in my high school mutual racism has actually fostered a friendship between a redneck and a black student, this however, probably won't happen often.

 

[Irony's Acolyte]

See its the fact that this person paid such close attention to race in that movie to find a racist "sub-context" from a children's movie that racism is alive and well.

When you stop noticing race first, you stop being racist.

 

[Jarcin]

I'm loving all these comments and discussions...save for the ones that only decide to comment on the fact that I brought up an issue that someone had with UP, troll or not, and wanted their opinion on it.

If you don't wanna contribute beyond "[troll face] Why ya helpin' the troll OP[/troll face]" please don't ^^

 

[jackknife402]

Sometimes claiming racism is just as bad as being racist yourself. It's getting so bad around here I'ma just punch everyone who utters "that's racist" in the face, then get a hate crime charge..>.> Which in itself is an oxymoron because isn't all crime fueled by some sort of hate? Hate of the establishment, hate of your friends, neighbors, loved ones, penises....gawd.

Perhaps he's just a frustrated film student. After what I taught in University about the Lion King, I couldn't watch movies without looking for subtexts and symbolism. Thankfully, time has cured myself of that plague as my "knowledge" has faded into the cobwebby areas of my melon.

Or he could just be a troll trying to being a troll.

Much of this "waa they're racist" talk stems from a victim complex where people explain their own shortcomings as the result of discrimination, instead of understanding that they simply suck. It shouldn't be taken seriously.

/me giggles XD sorry bout that, but i saw this pic, and i thought it was too epic to pass up hitler is one of my hero's after all, anti-sematism and aria supremacy aside :| im not a nazi either, although i am a communist, and a loud-mouthed openly oppinunated asshole.

now that i think about it, my avatar is kinda ironic for this topic, considering i'm against racism, but i am for genicide, go figure...

Which bothers me no end because, being of Scottish descent, my family had way more shit happen to them than a lot of Irish and immigrant families. Yet because of everyone's inability to tell the difference and lack of knowledge about Scottish history I am still classed as The Man.

Not that I bear a grudge or anything silly like that, it's just irritating that I can have my prime minister apologise for slavery on my behalf. Excuse me but my family never owned slaves, in fact on my grandfather's side they were closer to being slaves.

yeah i hear ya, im 1/2 scottish, and was part of the clan that founded The Black Watch (scottish national guard, and royal guard all in 1, also was kinda like the scottish UN, ie collection of all the tribes) hell, i'm even continuing on my familtys military tradition, and joined the navy but now i get hated on for being in the military, and white. so...candian navy=evil, and being a decendant of country and queen protectors is bad? -_-

god i LOVE racists >_> /sarcasm

How did they draw "blacks" from Dug?

And the kid was Asian.

 

[glodud]

wait, did he just say Santa was a lie

 

[ThatLankyBastard]

Honestly, people can find racism in anything if they look hard enough...

I'd give an example but I'm afraid I'll be troll'd for racism...
