racism

"Truthers" use the term "Zionist" interchangeably with "Jew"; you can't tell the difference. I get the feeling they're butchering the ACTUAL definition of the word. Which got me wondering: What IS the actual definition of the word? http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/zionist Hmmm...

This could just as easily go in Politics or maybe Social Issues, but the issue I had was not really political and my concern is education related. Yesterday my 8 year old came home from school and said "Daddy, I don't think Barack Obama should be president". I asked him why and he said "I'm...

So, I'm a college student that is finishing up my Intro to Black Studies course. And my finely-tuned crap detectors have been telling me I've been fed political and racial ideology over the facts. Actually, I'm extremely certain of it; what is scary is that none of my peers seem to know that...

There it is. He has "apologized" but his apology doesn't seem to indicate that he understands why his comment was offensive.

I keep seeing numbers that say something like 80+% of Black Americans are voting for Obama. Now, at a certain level one can kind of see that there would be a tendency to do so, just as some people would vote for Hillary just because they think the idea of having the first woman president is...

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/6294670.stm Um yes this is Tintin in the Congo. It is racist. It's a bit like complaining that Kolberg is pro nazi.

. . . if I thought calling a primarily Black, girl's basketball team, "nappy-headed ho's," wouldn't be interpreted as racist! I guess he wasn't smart enough to learn from Michael Richard's mistakes. No malice, huh? I guess he wouldn't be offended if from now on he's seen as a nappy-headed...

Here's me being soppy and appreciative. Mr. Blue and I got to explaining to Blue2 last night why the US would be taking a holiday. We listing benefits from the the civil rights movement, including: 1. Mr.Blue and I would probably have not met and certainly would not have married. 2...

Not trying to lead an inquisition here, but I think this comment bears discussion. There are really two ways to take this, and I'm not sure which you mean... Are you saying that the term "reverse racism" is invalid, because racism is racism? Or are you rejecting the idea of black-on-white...

A story made headlines yesterday: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/beds/bucks/herts/6191832.stm Now I totally agree that it was appropriate (if they have an email policy in place of course) for the staff who forwarded the email to be reprimanded since the content can hardly be considered...

I want to talk about racism. Mainly because I just feel like I need to get this information off my chest, and explain my personal findings that it appears to be one giant Causation-Correlation fallacy. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Correlation_implies_causation...

Here's an interesting question posed by someone on a BBC board: Why are the French riots reported as being caused by an unfair system and those people really had no choice, and these riots are by a bunch of racist, hateful White people? I havent heard one person say 'We have to get to the root...

It occured to me that the liberal idea that America is "deeply racist" is an hypothesis that works in exactly the same way as the Catholic idea that we are all born with "original sin". In both cases, it is something that is just in us, regardless of our actual conduct. Everybody is guilty of...

Warning: Links will take you to a white power site. I see some folks have taken to heart the line about teaching the children well. Except that they replaced "well" with "how to be hateful white-power little twits" No, really. Watch as you can obviously tell they weren't actually...

how strong do you think the evidence for racial differences (more than skin deep ones) are? I am searching for info disproving anti-black racism. Does anyone know what I should read, or good articles, that deal with anti-black racism?

Can one be a racist or at the very least harbor racist beliefs or feelings and not know it? Many times racist feelings are obvious but many times they are far more subtle. Judging another’s remarks can sometimes fall into gray areas where actual meaning, or hidden meaning can be hard to...

I am wondering if this counts as racism. I'm caucasian, and I am most attracted to the olive-skinned european faces. I love black hair. I am not in the least bit attracted to Asian or Black faces. I do recognize what somebody else might consider beautiful, heck I think there's beauty there...
