Why would I waste my time imagining what its like to be another race? When it comes to blacks, I see it on TV, see it in my city. Its not my fault or my white parents fault that most of that race act out of control. Every race has their trouble makers, we can thank the media for always showing us what Tyrone went to jail for. Then there's the youtube videos of the riots in LA, watching them made me sick to my stomache. You can call me racist I don't give a fuck. I'm white so I'm called racist all the fucking time.
I do not give a single shit anymore. When the blacks stop pulling the race card in every God damn situation, I will no longer be a "racist ".

While descriptivists and other such laissez-faire linguists are content to allow the misconception to fall into the vernacular, it cannot be denied that logic and philosophy stand to lose an important conceptual label should the meaning of BTQ become diluted to the point that we must constantly distinguish between the traditional usage and the erroneous "modern" usage. This is why we fight.
Are you a linguist or an English scholar? Either way, you understood the point of my message but chose to attack the form rather than the substance. I can clearly see you aren't a philosophy scholar. Keep up the valiant effort! You educated one more today. 6.9 Billion more to go.

And President fucking Obama told us all that black people get the shit end of the stick and how they "can hear people locking their car doors " when they're in the parking lot, oh boo hoo poor Trayvon Martin. What about the black guy who killed those 12 people the other day? Is Biden going to make a speech about how white people are always gunned down by blacks? NO BC THATD BE RACIST. right?

What I see is that we're barely one generation out from the time where the racists were forced, kicking and screaming, to treat people of color with equality. It's not difficult to understand that remnants of systemic racism still exist today.
But my point is that rather than saying 'Huh, maybe growing up black in this country is difficult, I wonder what we could do to help those people', you all jump straight to finding excuses to say 'Fuck em, they deserve it, not my problem.'

bare with me, im kinda dumb...
life is what you make it...
for someone to wake up day after day with the thought of "going to war" then you will be in a life full of war.
instead of waking up with a positive attitude, most wake up ready to fight even if the fight isnt there.
i think thats it...

i'm not concerned about the substance of your message--this thread will take the same direction all these threads take and i'm not particularly interested in partaking in that discussion

I don't doubt for a minute that being black in today's society is hard. Racism will ALWAYS exist.

Actually it was 50 years ago and there is no systemic racism. There is personal racism aplenty and no race is immune from it. Tough shit. private people have a right to be bigots.Quote:

We have been helping the fuck out of them for decades. They have been coddled with endless affirmative action preferences. There are enough of them that they should be able to form their own economic block without any involvement by whitey. Whitey isn't making them have most of their children out of wedlock. Whitey isn't making them shoot each other. They are responsible for their condition. I am not.
