You can have the KKK member who went (goes?) around torching and lynching. (This is an example of an aggressive racist. Not only does he believe that Black people are not equal to whites, but he believes they are basically a wild animal. AND he actively seeks to do something about it.) Some goes for anyone who isn't white. Right now I'm thinking the Border Patroll the Mexican-American border.(Rednecks, anyone?) <--- Ha! My own racist remark.

You can have the Employer who despite any credentials will not hire people of certain races because of either past experiences with them, or because he simply doesn't trust or like a certain race. (This is a Passive-Aggressive Racist.... He won't say ill or do ill towards X race, but he will do what he can to not accept them.)

And you can have a simple mom, who avoids passing a black person while walking down the grocery store isle. (This is the Passive Racist... they will do what they can to avoid those of another race basically due to fear.). On a daily basis you can be making decisions based on "racism". Say you wanna buy a house, aren't you careful about picking a "safe" neighborhood? Say looking for a home in a white neighborhood?


Yes, there are degrees when it comes to racism.

Well he has no excuse....there are black people in Honduras...isn't that where he is from


I know I am going on and on about this but the reason I started this thread is because comments like the ones he makes seriously bother me.  I don't think it's right to just let ignorant comments like that slide.

Well yes that is very true...it starts in the home no doubt about it!  My niece who is being raised by my brother ONLY is 6 yrs old and does not have racist bone in her body.  She has been taught that EVERYONE is equal from the day she was born and that is all she knows.  Actually she was all upset the other day at school when some kid was making fun of one of her Chinese friends for being Chinese.....she was soooo confused!!!!  She is not used to hearing stuff like that and my brother had to explain to her that some children do not know any better!!!

To begin, I have not read ALL the comments before replying… so, the following point may have bee brought up…


 


I would think, AND HOPE, that some of the comments seen as racist are not necessarily intended to be racist; but more used to make fun, joke and laugh…  yeah, perhaps at a cost of another colour/culture; but not necessarily for the purpose of putting down another race/culture; but MAINLY for the purpose of a laugh… For instance: I have myself made comments of say, KETE’s WHITE ASS… Am I an anti-white racist? HELL NO!  Similarly, some comments have been made about black – I would hope, and I DO SINCERELY BELIEVE that similarly most of those comments were in the spirit of jokes and laughter…


 


… then again, I might be wrong!

I guess it depends on each one perception,..I agree in ur last comment,.. But still ,. i htink joke is one thing and being racist is another,.. If someone doesn't invite me because I m latin ,. that s racism,. If I don't lend my car to a chinese,. that s racism,. (just to use the example above),. yup,. or if I say it to those persons,.. in a way that I m feeling superior that htem ,. yes,. that is racism,..


"Isn't that the reason Chilenita started this thread because she wanted to know if ppl were offended when other ppl say racial "jokes" or "comments"?,.. Yes,. I guess it is,. but racial comments in general,. even is someone come to me and says a racial comment about anyother culture I wouldn't tolerate it and I will stand my point,..And when I say jokes ,. I really mean jokes,. ,. not to offend others,.. which could happen in the usage of dark humorism,..

I agree with you JOker Esco. I've seen it so many times since I've worked with blacks, and whites, and many races in between.

I've heard jamaicans puting down africans and negating they are the same race just cause Africa is in bad shape now.  I've  worked for jews and I've seen how they treat white people much better than minorities, especially in factories, they treat people as machines ( I've been in those kinds of jobs), I heard a black caribean guy saying to white fellas that the U.S should shoot at mexicans crossing the border ( He didn't see  me of course) well eventhough I'm not mexican I'm close enough haha, I've seen latinos writing something about bombing Peru ,jajaja.  Lets face it ,there's racism even in the Latin American community,well, even inside contries as well" que los de la cierra son esto, y los de la costa lo otro",etc,etc.  So ,yes my children, I think everyone is racist in some degree,some more than others; but every race is racist, he dicho!


 


I Agree with u bro, there is so much racist in our community, Remember all of u when alot of PPL in the gereal forum were talking alot of $hit about salvadorian?? alot of u did not say $hit about why?? cuase maybe alot of u feel the same way, but my point is this, we all have different mentalitys, we all think diferent thank God, so why are u guys trying 2 make us change our mind?? we have the right by law 2 express our ideas and views even if most of u don't like it, and who the F@ck are u 2 tell me what 2 say or not 2 say?? who 2 like or not 2 like?? Most of us have experience Racist one way or the other, but what u don't know is Witch race was that put us down.. What I am trying 2 say is I am not racist but racist exist deal with it but do not try 2 change PPL mind just cause u do not aprove what other think, we are free 2 say and think what we like... by the way I have dated black woman, and 1 of them still my friend and she has been such a beutiful person with me.....

WOw finally and interesting thread......


Guys I am in here everyday, just reading and laughing and reading and just moving my head side to side.  Honestly there are a lot of Sex threads and some are funny and some nazty but it seems like everyone loves them so people keep posting and posting.


I don't post all the time but it does not mean that I don't come in here and read.  Yes there are a lot of racist comments around here, but if you notice the racism comments are mainly on Latin american people, I mean that stupid thread on "What you think about Mexican's" or "Which Country has the most beautiful girls" or "Salvadorians are thugs" and I am not mentioning remarks about people from Argentina, Ecuador, Spain. I mean we are hating on our own latin communities right? So what makes you think that we can stop hating on other races??


Personally I don't consider myself racist but unfortunatelly have many friends and family that are.  I have try to chenge the way they think but like someone already mention it is impossible.  We can try but we won't stop it at all.


All I can say is honestly when I see ratial comments I post something and sometimes I just ignore it, I think we all do this.


Yesi

I wouldn't go as far as saying that everyone is racist, but I would say that there are racists in every country.  Yes someone is always hating on the next man for not being the same colour as them or whatever, but I do not agree that everyone is racist.

I think its because we all just want a good laugh when we check out the forum.

The Thing about the Sex Threads is that everyone seems to keep it "Positive"
ie "HELL YEAH I BANG!!"

rather than, "I JUDGE YOU FOR HOW MUCH YOU BANG!"
or, "I JUDGE YOU FOR HOW MUCH OF A PRUDE YOU ARE!"

AND no one really notices who DOESN'T participate in the "HELL YEAH I BANG!!' threads when the non HELL YEAH I BANG members ... stay...quiet.....

THEN, the SEX THREADS with a touch of sensitivity on social issues and dilemmas are sometimes Flipped over like a pancake and the other side gets to bubble more into "HELL YEAH I BANG!"

I Think a lot of us just know how wrong RACISM is so that when someone makes a negative racist remark we tend to ignore it - no sense changing that person's mind. But to all readers in these threads, To Each His Own at the end of the day!

I'm sure a lot of us have certain ideals and beliefs on plenty of social issues, so no need to worry that we're a bunch of insensitive readers and posters.


Who sits on the throne?

Don't throw pearls to the pigs, Neruda. I'm sure Plato's allegory of the Cave would have been much more useful if you would have cared to interpret it for us.

Just wondering after reading another bunch of straight up racist posts....does this not bother anyone else in the forum?  It seems that when certain members write racist posts nobody really says anything.  Does this mean you feel the same way?  Do you just ignore them?  Post a sex thread and EVERYONE responds


 


Hey..when I post something very few people respond...isnt that racist?..descriminating about me by ignoring me...bad people

I am a person that does not tolerate racism at all.  I wish that we could just all get along.  When I see racist remarks here I tend to jump on those who make them, because I hate people who are like that.  There is no need for that kind of SHIT here.  Even if some things are ment to be as a joke, but there are some people in here that are black or part black and I know that it hurts.  I feel that if you don't like a certain race that's your business, and you should keep those racists comments to yourself.  I'll be straight up with all of you yeah I get offended when people make jokes about black people, because my man is black and he is sooooooooooo not in any way the way most people think black people are you know thugs.  He is the most respectful, generous, loving person that I have met.  He supports the latin community like crazy.  He was one of the judges for the dj competition, and he has gone out of his way to go support many latinos trying to make it in the music industry here in to, becuase he knows how hard it is to make it.  Heck he even knows how to dance to latin music, and he is very good at it too. I may not be black, but it hurts when people make these type of comments, because they are judging one race based on the stupidity of one dumbass person.  I truly feel for those who are being descriminated against, because no one deserve that and no one has the right to put others down.  Can someone please tell me where the F**k it says that one race is better than the next?  This isn't written anywhere, and we should all just learn to live with eachother, and if you can't stand the next race then that's too bad, but keep dumb racist comments to yourself!

Because it is made within your own circle and not to a stranger... does this justify it? I think we are all guilty of it and I'm sure people that live in glass houses will be the first to cast the stones... RACISM should not be tolerated and it should NOT be acceptable within our inner circles but unfortunately... it will ALWAYS be like that.. whether we care to change it or not... ppl are dead set in their ways.

EVERYONE is guilty of racisim or generalization towards a certain race in one way or another. No one is exempt. I fully admitted that i am guilty of this, but not outside of my own circle. 

So in this case, NO ONE can cast the first stone and deny participating in it.

The real question should be, what can we do to stop it.

I would never make a racially offensive comment or joke to a random stranger walking by, or someone whom I just met, but I will make it within my own circle.  Unfortunately racism is quite rampant and evident in everyday situations, and we should all try to better our society by not tolerating it, but we dont.

As for the sex posts and threads. I think by now you should know those ones are going to be the most popular ones for people. Lost cause I would say.

Yep seems pretty quiet around here. 


People seem to respond to Neruda's negative comments about latinos though..so perhaps taking about an entire race is not tolerable if its your own

What I find extremely Stupid is that We as Latinos belong to a Ethnical Minoritie and there are some that fall on the racist game, that's a complete Oxymoron.

Post a sex thread and EVERYONE responds:weirdface

Is not the first time we go thru a racist rant and we know who and no matter what we say is going to change them; Again I believe is based in your Family Values.
