(In response to a question about how members felt about a youtube video extolling exterminating whites. The original post was in all caps).
I will say this I’m not white, and although they are the cause of our problems due to the white ruled racist government system in which we live...Oh, and if you are not white you cannot be racist. Racism is a system of advantage based on race, therefore only whites can be racist. All whites are racist!! Some whites are passive racist (those who don’t try to be change the system), some are advocate or pro racist (those who try to reinforce the racist system in which we live), then there are those who are anti-racist (those who are against the racist government structure and trying to change it), none the less racist because they receive the benifts and privileges that go along with living in racist government system.

So, what says you of the South African government so far? Pretty racist practices there, huh? Zimbabwe? What about the Japanese? I shouldn't expect much critical thought out of someone who uses the name of a boondocks character as their callsign.
Yeah, I've heard this argument before. From a black guy who was going on about how inferior Native Americans were. When I challenged him, I was the racist. When I pointed out that the same things had been said about blacks, his argument was "well it's not true about blacks, it IS true about Indians".
Umn... no. If you're actively against racism, even if you are handed the benefits, that does not make you racist. You did not seek to gain from racism, nor to promote it or even continue to allow it's existence. It just does. And it has nothing to do with you. Dickweed.
Following your stupid logic, all men are rapists, or all Muslims are killers, or all blacks are bulglars............
Go to Alabama. You'll see a guy named Bubba living in a shack with a broken window. Sitting next to it is a rusted truck sitting on cinder blocks. Tell him about all of the advantages he's getting from being born white in the racist U.S.
No, better yet, talk to any South African. You don't know what Racism is.
Sooo... A black guy saying "All white people are lying, cheating, stealing crackers" isn't racist? Well, I'm glad we cleared that up.
Man, you should hear some of the things that the aboriginals in Musgrave Park yell at us as we walk passed them. I've never heard anyone being as hateful as that, not even in a Tarantino movie.
I will say this, I'm not white, but you're a racist moron. And I concur with everyone else about your handle; unless your name is actually 'Huey Freeman' (which I doubt)you obviously don't know the character and should be changed.
So what about all those abolitionists who were white? What about all those white civil rights workers who were killed as well as blacks during the Civil Rights Movement?
What about all those Sudanese women who are raped and/or killed by the Janjaweed who call them "n*****s", but are black as well? What about ethnic tribal warfare in Rwanda?
Hate to break it to you, but anyone can be racist, no matter what their color. Bigotry and kindness do not each belong to different races exclusively. Is every German a Nazi? Is every Russian a communist? Yes, whites unfortunately have a long history of racism, but that doesn't mean that every white person is a racist. You fail.
Oy vey (yeah, wrong place to use it, but idc)
Reverse discrimination is being completely ignored. It seems there is no such thing as a racist black person, even though we have this fucktard ranting on here.
"Oh, and if you are not white you cannot be racist."
Uh, yeah...right.
A Chinese friend of mine told me that, as whites, we are "amateurs" when it comes to racism. (OK, OK...we were drunk at the time.) But he laughed and said we whites are "amusing" because we "fall over ourselves" trying not to be racist while the rest of the world deals with and moves on.
Your statement, therefore, makes you a racist. Can you figure that out?
Daily effects of white privilege
also if you benefit from a social system just by being white(which is theoretically impossible, at least here), you can't really help it. exept of course when you need to check a box:'check if you want to exercise white priviliges'
Racism is a system of advantage based on race
I don't agree with Huey but I have to admit that racism is not exactly the same for all, due to circumstances. If a person is proud to be Latino, Black or Chinese, in America, that's it, it is likely that they're just reivindicating the pride of their communities, which are in minority and are often under suspicion, if not in clear disadvantage with the White Anglosaxon protestant one. However, if a white person invokes white power, sorry, but more likely they're reinforcing a very disgusting idea where people who are not white are second class citizens. However, to say that white people are racist by default is wrong. Maybe it's not racism but it denotes prejudice, on which racism is based, after all.
its people like you who make me mad. If a black person says the n-word nothing happens, but if a white person says the n-word its basically the spark of a ethnic war. Is this not racist that one ethnic group can say words that others can't? Is that not a double-standard, which women fought so hard just to vote? ask yourself, how can you say that without A)being "racist", or B)using a double-standard. Call me a racist all you want, but that won't change the fact that I'm correct. Why should it be different for one ethnic group than another. One last point, there is only one race, the HUMAN race.
Confused?
