"anyone seen the Spain v England football match?"
They were making monkey chants wernt they? I bet the spain international team get punnished off fifa.
Though youve got to remember that england used to be like that.
The real supprise here is that YOU were watching a football match.
I carnt stand racism. It happens alot towards pakistani people where I live. Some little prik has been going round spraying 'BNP'(british national party) and 'england for the english' on walls and signs in my area. When I hear people shouting things like 'paki', I just want to punch them.
Yes this is true, it's all very well to say negative things about pro-black/asian/non-white descrimination, and then say they always play the racism card, but this is only a small part of the story. I grew up in a multicultural school where there was no real racism (except that we occaisionally mentioned the asian invasion, but that was only because it rhymed and we were all friends with a lot of the Chinese people there) so I tended to think that racism was almost dead and positive descrimination was oxymoronic. But in the years since then I've seen a little more of the world, and racism is very real, and often accepted as normal, even healthy. Hell, look at the BNP. Sure, there may be black people who are more racist than I am, but that doesn't mean that they all call white men racist honkeys, and it doesn't mean that when they cry racism they're always lying. It doesn't even mean that when they can get a job and I can't it's a bad thing, I can probably get one elsewhere after all. We have to remember that the world is going through a big change, sure it's a long time since black people were slaves but they still have that to remember, just as we are burdened with the fact that our ancestry is responsible for this atrocity. While racism exists at all it will effect everything, for change to happen there must be an opposing force, so of course positive descrimination has to push a little harder to make the change happen faster. And of course there are people who will exploit racism just as people exploit the benefit system, but this cannot happen if it doesn't exist. And Nuklear, white people do not have it bad now. Are you really comparing your present situation to slavery?
Anyway that's my opinion. Thanks to anyone who read through all that.
Why the hell am I on the computer at 1 in the morning? No, don't answer.
Think about this: African Americans wanted to be equal to whites. I think that is great. I don't care what colour anyone is. But then they have a all-black comedy awards thing. There seperating themselves. Also, saying 'n***er' is a bad thing for a caucasion to say, but it's alright for them to call whites 'crackers'. And then they have minority scholarships, so now whites are being discriminated.
People are also so easy to offend. I think it's funny. You can say 'hey, I love the Taco Bell dog' or 'I like black humour' and then you're attacked for it. It's insane.
Then you have stero typing. I think stero-typing is funny to. People think it's so wrong and all. Family Guy was kicked off the air for stero-typing and what not. And then the DVD sales go through the roof. I bet half of the people who said Family Guy was bad bought the DVDs. Everyone has a sick sense of humour. They just don't want anyone else to know.
And then you have people blowing each other up (Pakastan, Isreal) because of religion and race. It's wrong.
I'm not racist, I just think the world has gone mad.
Fine Garbage since 2003.

I don't agree. Do any of you have minorities for friends? Or are you in your safe little circle of whitness. It's sick that I get different treatment than my friends do just because of my skin color, teachers trust me, cops trust me, store owners trust me, but when a samoan walks in they jump on him like a hobo on a ham sadwich. Say what you want, but racism is still going on, and hating blacks because they hate you for hating them isnt going to do any good.

Technically, a black person calling a white person a cracker isn't racist, its bigoted, because only the majority can be racist (which in many cases is white).
And, just like the minimum wage, the race scholarships/affirmative action laws are there because somebody abused the system. Does anyone remember the Poll Tax or the Grandfather Clause (In which your grandfather had to be able to vote)?
And why do many blacks live in the ghetto? Because they weren't able to get houses in the suburbs because nobody would sell it to them (because they would lower the land value).
Although I do have to agree that too many people use the race card today. It's pathetic.
Actually, the true definition of 'Racism' does not confine being racist to the majority, anyone who discriminates against another race is racist, whether they're a minority themselves or not. Bigotry is a more general term covering discrimination as a whole.
Lazarus: why censor 'nigger' but not 'cracker'? Aren't they both as bad as eachother? ;D
"Say you're hanging from a huge cliff at the top of mt. everest and a guy comes along and says he'll save you, and proceeds to throw religious pamphlets at you while simultaniously giving a sermon." - Dustin G
My best friend is black. What now? But he doesn't act like an idiot, use retarded slang, and all that other stuff. My roomate is mexican? What? I'm part Japanese!
Imagine this situation. There is a white guy and a black guy in front of a cop.
The black guy calls the white guy "cracker", and the white guy responds calling him "nigger". The officer is allowed to arrest the white guy, but not the black guy.
There is no such thing as the ghetto, or at least there shouldn't be. It only becomes the ghetto because there's all these gangs running around and so no one bothers to fix it up.
And it's not just black people, it's the gangster types, and that can be white, black, asian, and mexican or whatever. And rap pisses me off. Some one like In flames releases the album "Soundtrack to your escape" and it's not as good as there old stuff so people call them sell outs, yet all these rappers are on like every commercial, like right guard and shit, and that song by Black Eyed Peas is on like every other show and shit, but they arent sell outs, they're "Entrepenours(sp)".
Background info: The ghettos in the United States were created in the 50's/60's because all of the returning black veterans had no palce to go (because nobody would sell them houses in the suburbs). So the government built these apartments for them in the city. And they're still here today, even though some cities are trying to imrpove the situation (i.e. Chicago recently tore down Cabrini Greens).
