Originally posted by Orbax its in reaction to a previous racism. The flow has reversed. Thus the title. It helps clarify. Its simply a more specific type. You could also say it isnt racism its merely one of the facets of human interaction. We are trying to define the issue here, not obfuscate it.

Yes and your definition is flawed and self-obsessed. Whites hating blacks is racism, blacks hating whites is reversed racism, what if I hate asians? Or what if I'm white and I hate anybody that's Irish regardless of colour? Just because white americans are beginning experiencing rasism for the first time, doesn't meen the whole concept of racism has suddenly been "reversed".

edit: I shall return to this after Big Brother. Too much heavy thinking

WTF is "reverse racism?"

newsflash: racism is not defined as whites being prejudiced to blacks.

your posts get more and more insightful.

it might be ethnocentric, but it still doesn't change the fact that its a reversal of traditional discrimination. the development of the western world has been dominated by people from european descent which is traditionally caucasian. Because of this, and more particularly in the united states since that seems to be the debate, a reversal of the discrimination is evident.

i think that you're taking our term reverse racism to be mean something more than it is...if you're saying that racism is discrimination against a people on the basis of race and other ethnic issues, then i say that reverse racism is simply the reversal of that discrimination towards the group that was formerly the discriminating class. it has nothing to do with race. the only reason that we are atributing it to race, in this case african americans, is because of the society that we are discussing. it surely can be used in other situations and other cultures, but we're talking about primarily the united states and western europe.

Because we are using this particular statement in reference to American History. If it was in a global aspect you would be correct. But it isnt. The framework put strictures on the terms and binds them. It makes it so the first "people" (disregarding the Native Americans, also in the aforementioned Societal Framework) were White English colonials. Thus them bringing blacks here would be the instigation of American Racism as we know it.

exactly...however i wouldn't say that it is because we brought blacks to the states or who pocessed the land first...more so who was in an original position of power over the other and thus able to have influence over them...

well thats just a general way of saying the same thing , Id say if you were a slave owner you had power over the slave. You are right in stating the general aspect of the power/struggle formation, it just happened to work out to be whites owning blacks.

Dont try that on ME :P its a Hollywood movie about American life. There arent many others it could have been

Man to be honest, if you go an search for Aldrian's threads, 98% of them are rants about shit in society he doesn't like.

Maybe you should just change your nick name to "I Hate Life".

Seriously man. Stop letting stupid shit get to you. If all this little shit bothers you this much now, who knows what your going to do when you run into real problems.
