The true racism in the modern day comes from how we are forced to tread on eggshells around minorities so as not to offend them, lest they cry racism, amirite?
"Do you see that black girl over there?" "OMG YOU RACIST." "No, I was describing what she looked like."
And we have Black Entertainment Television [something like that], black-only scholarships, black-only schools, etc.
By not being racist, we're being racist.
firstly black entertainment television is only one channel where black people can watch shows they would enjoy where as other channels don't necessarily put on shows starring black people and nest, there's no such thing as a black only school. Historically black colleges and universities (HBCU's) were started because white people wouldn't let black people into college so they started their own, but anbody was allowed to attend. Get your facts straight :)
you guys, no matter what race, are all fucked up. race should be acknowledged but not discriminated or used to get what you want. we should be colored blind but ONLY when it comes to school, jobs, ect. we're aloud to take pride in our race and celebrate it but we shouldn't use it to get what we want.
excuse you. I am black so I know what I'm talking about. I'm not saying that we don't watch "normal tv" but most tv shows are marketed toward white ppl and BET is not. That all I'm saying. Its not racist. What's racist is you making a big deal out of it. That fact that you see color and the difference within ppl and what they enjoy makes you a little bit racist
You're black so you speak for your entire race? See, it's complete idiots like you that racial groups are ashamed of. You stand up and speak your mind on behalf of your race, not yourself. And nothing is marketed towards "white people" these days. It's viewed as instantly racist.
As for enjoyment of things, I'm not the one that bought it up. The point I was making was that companies and individuals have no choice but to be careful about everything they say so as not to offend retards such as yourself.
omg, you're getting ignorant. I'm through. The retard because you can't even have an intelligent conversation without getting offenseve which proves you know you're points are invalid
I'll have to agree with you (anonymous). Sinner, he/she is right. You ARE making a big deal about. The anonymous person is actually has a point. And yes, most television shows in America (especially on NBC, ABC and FOX) are directed towards White people which is why the shows like Desperate Housewives, Chuck, Heroes, Friends, That 70's Show, etc have the majority of their cast being White. Also, you yourself aren't the voice of White people (and you act as if you are) so you shouldn't be accusing the anonymous user of the same thing. Read my other comment.
and while you're getting all heated I'm sitting back laughing at you. My race would not be ashamed of me because I am not all ignorant, am very intelligent, and carry myself very well. That is all. Have a good day :)
Heated? You're actually extremely moronic if you think that's heated. You are, once again, speaking on behalf of your race, which is something only ignorant people who cry about racism do, from experience. You've not carried yourself well at all.
I'm the moron and you're the one who can make a point without name calling? And I'm not conducting myself well? Please keep it coming you're entertaining a lot of ppl where I am you're making our day with your foolishness lol
I think people are losing the meaning of the word "racist" and mixing it up with words like "generalization" or "prejudice".
To be racist, one would have to insult someone of a different race with an insult pertaining to that race. Or one needs to feel that their race is better than another because of physical characteristics or stereotypes.
Ex. All black people are cotton picking idiots.
That is a racist statement. ^
Ex. Mexicans have good hair.
That is a generalization. ^
I don't bother trying to avoid saying things that could sound racist because I'm not a racist. If someone tells me I am one it doesn't bother me because I'm not a racist and can explain what I meant.
Yesterday someone in my class said that Asians are crazy. My friend has a classmate who said Asians should go back to Asia. My classmate said that all minorities are poor, get pregnant, smoke and do drugs. One of my old principals said Asians were stupid. My 'friend' thinks Asians suck, my other 'friend' thinks Asians are ugly. Family Guy constantly makes jokes about Asians, Jews and Blacks (not really that much about Whites). In movies, Asians are (usually) either gay not that anything is wrong with being it's just not every Asian guy is gay (Sex and the City, He's Just Not That Into You), ugly (Clueless), or sucks up/loses to other races (Karate Kid 1-2-3, the Last Samurai) Clearly this post isn't as valid as you think it is. Before you say anything, you need to take a good look at all the racial implications on Asians present in American media. Clearly not all White people are racist, but we do have reasons to accuse some people of being racist. PS: No, I have no personal ve...
I'm tired of everyone calling each other racist. Just today, I heard a group of people calling each other racist because it's thrown around so much it's become a joke. Racism is a serious problem, but you can't use it to justify your anger. I overheard people the other day, all white, talking. One got offended, and called the other two racist against her hair color. That doesn't even make SENSE. I actually know people who don't even know what it means, because it's barely ever used properly. Every race has racists. There are Asians who think other races are stupid, white people who think Asians are ugly and black people are violent, poor, and moronic, and black people who think everyone else are
elitists. I know this doesn't exactly go along with the post, but people have been pissing me off about this.
I'm implying that every other White person on this site is complaining about this topic. The post I made simply states that. Learn how to read. Thank you.
I'm black and one of my friends insists of referring to other black people as "your colour" because she seems to think saying "black" is racist...it clearly isn't. This really pisses me off, just say black FFS.

Times have changed.
We should be above this.
you're right we should be. But just because things have changed within our country, black ppl should get rid of the things that give them history?

I'm sure that more than you can say for yourself just by the way you're conducting yourself now
pure entertainment. LMAO!!!
