if you perceive this as a reaction to the mere fact that he's white then you are. if it's because he's a loser and you are well accomplished then you're not, you're just being a realist or snob.

if you think you're better because the white trash person comes from a lower socio-economic strata/region then you're just being a realist or a snob. it's discrimination based on social class, not race.

Like I said, I don't know what he has posted earlier, but seeing as this:
is all he said in his post, I fail to see how he displays a racist attitude, since that statement can be interpreted in several ways. But I assume his previous posts are good enough evidence to draw the conclusion that he is racist since you are all reacting the way you are. |
Yes, it's subject to subjective interpretation. But since it's coming from Aldrian then my interpretation is skewed, i'll admit that. If it came from someone I didn't know I would like that person to elaborate on his remark so I could make the proper assessment of his intention.

oh and that makes it better. i would think your racist even if you were black and blacker than darkness himself.
you hate affirmative action, but it would do you a lot of good, considering your low IQ. |

sorry i gotta say my part because i feel strongly about the subject...
It is one thing to not like "black people" because of the fact that their skin color is brown, and to consider them "different" because of it...but to generally say that "black people" are overrated because of the fact that about 90% of them have that thug-like, ignorant attitude, is another thing. I think it's very obvious that a lot of african-americans walk around with a chip on their shoulder because of the past. It's not right.
why is it that black people can call themselves "niggas" and segregate themselves by having their own personal television shows or even tv channels and sororities etc. in colleges? God forbid, there was an all white sorority with no black people allowed...it wouldn't be heard of. It's a double standard that pisses me off and it's overrated.
and no i'm not racist against black people or other ethnic groups. i spent 2 years in japan in high school on a very culturally diverse marine base with friends of all different races. i'm just generally prejudice against ignorance and attitudes that i see most often in certain ethnic groups, and in every day people too, white or black. |
