First, I don't mean I hate racists because I follow any PC type nonsense.

Intolerance is part of the reason, but a lot of it is that they are just, pathetic...

For example, how pathetic does someone have to be that they start taking pride in the accomplishments of their entire race that they didn't have anything to do with? (more evidence that racists are a drain on society) Not only take pride in accomplishments they didn't work toward, but they have to blame all their problems on entire groups of people. Plus they are idiotic enough to believe complete gak that is clearly made up.

The words that come to mind the fastest when thinking of racists are words like bottom feeder and leben unwertes leben.

Racists are killing innocent people, and they aren't contributing anything back to society. Why do we even need these people around?

I've also noticed a trend that people have been becoming less racist as time progresses. This would seem to indicate that less racist people are more evolutionarily successful, and that racists are the leftovers of an earlier stage of evolution. Because they are part of an earlier phase of Humanity, they are probably not able to grasp important concepts essential to rationality, and would not be able to be educated in the reasons behind non-racism. Racists are clearly more barbaric and far less civilized than non racist people. It is doubtful that a racist is even able to approach the level of civility and cultural advancement of even a non racist child. Combine this with the irrational fear that racists have that the White Race is dying, and I don't think it's safe to allow racists near White women.

When I laugh at a racist joke, I don't think racism is funny. I think that anyone who would actually seriously believe it is an idiot, and I laugh at them.

I have a fairly dark sense of humor and need to rip on people. No one is going to be offended by ripping on racists.

I agree with just about everything you're saying, but what was the catylist for this post?

Why are only white people racist.

I hope that was in sarcasm mode.

Can you have prejudice without being a racist?

For the record that guy is kind of guy that gets his ass kicked on the reg, with those crazy eyes that look one direction when they talk. Can't stand to look at him, even if what he is saying is mostly correct.

Racists an earlier stage of evolution?!?!?!

It doesn't quite work that way......

I've encountered different varieties of racist. Some are chauvinists; some are tribal minded; others are afraid they'll be made worse off by changes to the social landscape; some see race as a battle for supremacy; prejudice, for whatever reason, can also be a factor.
To turn such people around likely requires us to understand what brought them to think in such a manner in the first place.

People are often prideful of the accomplishment of their "people" even if they have nothing to do with it. That doesn't make you racist. We just had a little something called the Olympics that made lots of people proud.

I will admit to having prejudice against certain people, and I work my way past those every day. I think most people have them, but not that many people are outwardly racist. Prejudice is a result of having cultures, and we should recognize when we have them so we can overcome them.

I do feel bad about mine and know that they are irrational, I feel even more bad considering that almost all of my close friends (and I) are in interracial marriages between different cultures. We have American/European/white/black/Mexican/Pilipino between all of us.

I felt that the video was quite misguided. It seems more like it was intended to fuel anger from skinhead types than anything else.

There is nothing wrong with anyone feeling prideful in the accomplishments of someone from their ethnic group. The problem arises when that pride turns into arrogant superior viewpoints.

I agree, but haven't we already had this thread?

The only time i become racist is when people try playing the "race card" or when they are trying to hurt my friends, myself or my family because at that point its feth their feelings and their physical well being (note the "feth their physical well being" only applies if they are being violent/ doing something that deserves a broken limb)

Other then that i dont care if you black, white, asian, ect. if your nice to myself and my friends/ family il be nice to you.

Yeah.

Yeah, it'd be awesome if there were no racists. Good luck with that though.

I also dislike cancer, sunburns, hangnails and rape.

"Legitimate" sunburns?

First timed I deployed I got tanned pretty dark.....

Only legitimate sunburns cause melanoma.

A doctor has told me this.

Its not a toomah

Yeah, of course they are. Their entire process of thought is clouded by fear and insecurity, to the point that they have to outwardly hate people.

It's easier just to get along with people.

I totally disagree.

I'm a racist and I'm offended by this thread, reported.

What's the point of this thread besides making yourself feel better by stating that you despise the despised?

Regardless of your inability to infer the hunour in his post, this thread is in violation of Rule #1.
Probably won't be inforced, of course, and shouldn't be, but it does show the limitations of Dakka's rules.

On a related note, there was a Aube Doré (golden dawn?) food and goods collect in the Greek quarter of Montreal, earlier today.
Couldn't go there, but I'm hoping the anti-facho showed up and broke a few jaws.

I actually find people who assume that others are racist to be more annoying than racists themselves.

There's something about that culture of false accusation and jumping to conclusions that really gets on my nerves.

Once lived in a student house with a mixed-race lady who just could not get that chip off her shoulder and assumed that everything everywhere was all about her being black (If she got a bad grade it was all because "I am black, tutor is racist" and not "I did bugger all work and went out drinking 3 nights in a row instead of doing coursework").

I actually initially made the mistake of assuming that she wasn't being serious about it simply because it was repeated so often and OTT-dramatized. Then after getting an earful after saying something based on that assumption, I realised "Oh god she's serious".

The sad thing about it is that you can't actually mention this to someone, even politely, because "being over-sensitive about being black" is now part of the the "black" stereotype.

It would be great if people would move on and accept that no-one actually gives a crap about what colour your skin is anymore apart from a minority of nutters with sociopathic tendencies, and people who are afraid of the economic competition.

I disagree with Scarletsquig. I feel that most people are still racist, but it's a different kind of racism. Instead of actively discriminating against black people, people make subconscious assumptions without thinking.

Like, when people see a white dude on average they won't assume he's a criminal.

But when people see a black dude, they're way more likely to assume he's a criminal.

So then we see a lot more juries putting black people in jail.

The problem with this kind of racism is that its almost impossible to combat. People aren't trying to be racist. They're just being stupid and making assumptions.

That's because the media portrays that image constantly.

After seeing how they portray Israel, I have to wonder if maybe they aren't run by anti-Semites. But seriously...

Those people end up causing more racism because no one takes it seriously when someone has a serious complaint of racial discrimination.

Either that, or they have a seen statistics supporting the idea that black people more often commit crimes than white/others.

Pretty much, you hate racists? Congratulations for being an ordinary human being in Western society.
