What you must realise is that Equality does not mean treating everybody equally.
Minority groups will always get much greater freedom than the larger groups to get greater benefits, more incentives, more freedom to be politically incorrect, and more lenience with punishment.
You can bitch about it all you like, but thats the world we live in.
I'll point out some examples which I have seen with my own eyes, or read in the media, and I'm not insulting these groups at all by doing so:
Its quite alright and almost socially acceptable for an Australian aboriginal to call other Australians 'white c*nts', but if the reverse happens you go to court.
If a 15 year old girl has sex with a man, he goes to jail for 5 years, whereas if a woman has sex with a 15 year old boy she does not go to jail.
If a gym offers female only membership it is counted as fair, and if a business type club has membership for males only they get sued and taken to court on the basis of equal rights.
You see some groups have suffered inequality for many years, and almost in an effort to make up for it society allows them greater benefits and less punishment, not because they feel sorry for them but rather because they realise that it can take additional support to make up the extra ground.
Sometimes the inequality done in the name of equality is fair, and sometimes it is fucking far from fair.

Re: What is RACIST?

There was a soldier in the army of the Russian Empire. During the Russo-Turkish War of 1877 he found himself in a slave market in Turkey, where he bought a Greek slave. He brought her back to the Ukraine, married her, and had a child with her that grew up to be my grandfather's grandfather. |
clearly, if one person was able to marry and have start a family with a 'slave' that person wasn't really a 'slave' in the colloquial sense but more like a mail-order serf. slave masters in north america, for example, held slaves as chattel and the best a female slave could've hoped for is status as a well-treated concubine.

meet a lot of "thugged-out blacks" lately? give me a break...
| quote: | I mean, I know of an actual slave in MY line, and while I sincerely doubt that any of the aforementioned thugs can even trace their ancestry as far back as I can mine, and actually NAME a slave ancestor of theirs, there also the fact that both whites and blacks have been slaves for thousands of years to other whites and blacks, in the time of Rome for example, versus the measely couple of hundred years of slavery in North America. (Another point I want to adress is that I'm a first generation Canadian with only 10 years clocked in North America) In the Ukraine in particular, my countrymen have been the target for slave raids from Turkey that kept occuring for hundreds and hundreds of years, yet no Ukrainian feels hostility to any living Turks in the present.
Even this forum censors n i g g e r but not honky
So, please explain to me how this racism thing applies in my case. I'm particularly interested in your opinion if you are black.
And people, please try to keep this civil until I get at least some answers. |
again, it's apples and oranges as each country's history with slavery occurs in a different historical context so comparing the "measly" 250 years that african-americans spent in bondage with those of other people is quite useless.
you can educate yourself by reading good some history books.
