Like who??? Neo-nazis and skinheads??? What white people are affected by racism??? We're helped by racism against others far more than the rare, rare occasion any of us is adversely affected by racism against us.
That's because the only time ever in this nation's history when "white" people are lumped together as one big group is when they form racist groups like the neo-nazis, KKK, and other white supermacist groups.
On the other hand, there is nothing wrong with Italian-American pride, Irish-American pride, etc. Furthermore, many, if not most, white ethnicities have been the targets of racism but not because they were white but rather because of their particular racism. The Italians, for example, were targeted by the other whites in America when they started coming in droves. They were called guineas, wops, ginzos, degos, etc. and plenty of people have stood up for them.
If anyone uses the N word it's a problem, the exception being blacks, and even then it's a problem for them to use the word. I know of someone who was black and fired from work for using the N word at work.
White people do get offended and rightfully so when they are attacked, it's just that they're mostly attacked on their ethnicity than on just being "white".
Beyond that is the reality that most of the offensive talk against whites almost never translates to a real discrimination, whereas that kind of talk against blacks and hispanics usually comes with some form of other discrimination such as denying them a job, business, loans, etc. That's the reality, and if you don't know that then you're out of touch with reality.
That's why if I go car shopping and the car salesman calls me a "white boy" I know it's not going to affect my ability to buy a car, even with a sup-par credit score, because someone will approve me for a loan, but a black person who gets called the N word by a white car salesman is being told that he is basically trying to treat that black person the way they were treated for years in this nation, when they could be denied anything just for being black. If you don't understand this, then you are either very ignorant or you're just ignoring the reality to push some kind of agenda you have.
I actually answered this but kinda felt it was pointless. I will only add that no one should be using the n word.
If we want to get rid of racism we have to be able to take a joke but we have to clean up our own races before we expect another race to not be racist
You can't have it both ways. The National Assoc for the Advvancement of Colored People have clamored for more blacks in TV, movies, commercials, hiring etc. So a company uses blacks in a commercial and you complain. Let's not hire blacks and see the backlash.
I haven't heard any black people here in the states complaining about this, only white Americans. So why the backlash saying black people are too sensitive?
lol i love dave chappelle. and i didnt find that ad racist at all. hell the white guy was the only minority in the room. what do you expect when you pull out fried chicken in a room full of black ppl?
Since this thread is in a political forum, I wonder if Obama likes fried chicken?
