Being Color Blind

[Alpha]

Is the white/Caucasian race the new minority?

While some ethnicities have groups to protect their rights, is it possible for whites to make a group without it being deemed racist? Will we have use for things like affirmative action when whites are no longer in the majority?

Is freedom of speech more selective when it comes to race? What do you think of the certain words that is okay for some races to use and not others?

Nope, I do believe here in America that white people are not the minority. I believe we are majority.

No, 90% of colored people think white people do it to them because they are black. They don't want to take responsibility for anything. And they think we are just a bunch of biggots. And for affirmitve action, I don't know.

Yes, Imus is a good example. If a black talk host said something like those honkys or crackers no one would have heard about it because to the average joe I don't think it would matter because we are white. And for words such as the 'n' word used by Africans, I really don't see in them having the right to use it and no one else. If they are so offended by it they shouldn't say it themselfs.

I think she was more referring to the idea that minorities were once badly treated, but now whites might becoming more badly treated, and thus the new 'minority', not minority as in how many people there are.

I could be wrong, I dunno. Alpha let me know

If it's like I said above, then yes I think white is becoming the new minority.

No. Whites will never be allowed to make any kind of group for white people, and everyone believes this stupid idea of 'only a white person can be racist', and that everything a white person does is racist, even if their racism is 'subconsciously done'.

Whites are only seen as the antagonist in every situation no matter what.

Consider this. The only racist terms that society is allowed to use are those that are degrading to white people. Redneck for example.

Personally, all racist terms are offensive to me no matter who they are aimed at. I have no sympathy for that idiot Imus, as what he said was extremely offensive both to black people and to women. However, if he had been a black man, mocking white people, there is no doubt that he would have been fine.

I'm actually more disgusted though, with the black men who use offensive words to all women, both black and white. I mean the call women b*tches and h*es and say all kinds of degrading things, in particular rappers. Why is nothing done about this? Why are people only willing to yell at a white man - and rightly so - but not yell at a black man for the same offense?

Umm...NO. (for usa)

Eventhough some dare to try whites will not be able to do that. Mostly becuase they ARE the majority and most people make these groups to protect themselves from the majority. well kinda... i really want to know when the whites will outnumber others...

Not really, if I think what your saying is right then no. Ohhhh I get it. To be honest I dont think that black people should call eachother N*****! and thats the jist of it

In Scotland no... The only people who want to live here are the Scots... it rains too much... and sometimes if your really lucky... you'll hear the sound of a sunray drying a break of ground until it cracks... then it rains... and fills that crack... and a loch is born.
Fancy way of saying no... But world wise yes.

I saw group and racist and white, and thought of those white power people in america... dont know why.
No... we cant really :S ...
But i guess Lithium is right, the english brough it on them selfs. Scotland isnt at all to blaim. Lol........... ok ok ok... lets blaim the Danish and them wanted to split africa up into White controled countries all those hundreds of years ago ... i blaim everyone who isnt white... without them we wouldnt be racist

Meh no ones to blaim appart from all of us, which means everyone is to blaim... but all of us arent.

Examples ive seen;
"Black b*****d" = Racist + police did something about it
"F*****g White B****t" = Not racist..... ignored and deemed acceptable

Yup its more selective

For some reason... in Scotland, your not aloud to say,

"Black board" - It now has to be called a "Chalk Board".
And the Rhyme "Baa Baa Black Sheep" was change to... "Baa Baa Coloured Sheep" and now is not acceptable..

Yet, White board is still used.
and Refering to sheep as being white as a cloud is still used.
But your not aloud to talk to the sheep.... the farming thinks its strange if you do... he also has the right to hang anyone caught on his land "Feeling" up sheep........... Scotland Rocks.

I know. My skin is white, thus whatever I say means nothing. But I'll say it anyway.

For starters, you want to know who started black slave trading? Africans. I know, it's a politically incorrect thing to say, but it's true. Black slavery began in Africa when warring tribes would conquer another tribe and enslave them. After a while when whites came into the picture, the victorious African tribes started selling their slaves to the whites. So blacks first started black slavery.

Does this excuse white people? HELL NO. Slavery is wrong regardless. But we can't keep blaming everything on one skin colour. Everyone needs to wake up and see the wrong things that everyone has done.

Also, it is not, and has never been, every white person. For you to say that every white person is guilty of racism is a racist remark in itself. I have never been racist, and I will not accept the guilt for a crime I didn't commit, and nor should I. And nor should any other white person who is innocent of racism.

I personally think Malcolm X is a lot to blame for much of this offensive kind of thinking. He preached that all whites are guilty and evil. He said that even the whites who were lynched for trying to help black people were evil, now how the hell does that work?

I dunno if you're just making jokes Lil, but personally I don't find this subject funny o_O I abhore racism in every form and I will not stand for it from anyone.

And whites can be just as much a victim of racism as anyone else. I was not allowed to enter my vietnamese friends house because her father hated whites and would not allow any white to enter his home. I've also almost been stabbed by a lebanese boy for being white o_O

You have no idea how painful it is to hate something so much and yet still be accused of it simply because you have the wrong colour skin.

[Lilith]

why wouldn't i listen to you? lol (yah i was mostly joking but i sprinkle thought provoking truths in all my jokes)

and the truth is that why do colors hate whites so much now? and i just simply point out..well, if you HAVE to ask?...(points to horrific history of white conquest and slavery)

my only point in this thread is to shed light for anyone wondering why things are the way they are. yes it's messed up. yes it should stop. yes i wish it didn't exist. but it does, and if your wondering why, you know why.

now lets try making the world a better place and...idk go into hiding? take it like a man? i really can't say. if australia still has racial issues i'd move to new york or LA if i were you. prolly the least racist of all the cities in the USA imo. anywhere that's very popular cause everyone gets mixed there. some parts of the world are still backwards so i'd avoid those. o_o

Well, you and I have just spoken about the matter on msn, so I'll leave this post brief.

Horrible things have happened all throughout history. Each 'group' has been both attacker and victim at various times. But it's always been the smaller percentage of people in every group that has done wrong.

Did white people do evil and cruel things? Yes. Are the white people of today guilty of the crimes of the past? No. This is a case of the sins of the father being visited on the son.

It's a mistake when you hold hatred towards a group of people for sins they themselves didn't commit. Holding onto that hate just causes more rifts in society and stops people from healing.

That is sooo stupid. I have never heard anything like that in my life. People still call our chalkboards blackboards and peopel still are taught "baa baa black sheep". If I lived there I would rebel. YOu cant help the color of something. I would love to know what your supposed to call Black people. African-Americans? Our I guess thats African-Scots?
