Shit like this is the reason why racism will never end.

I would be more worried about two white guys carrying automatic weapons than one black guy.
I guess it's profiling, but I look at the school shootings and our domestic terrorism and it's white guys.
The police should treat them the same though.

I'm still watching these dumb ass social experiments. I found another that's kinda fucked up.

I am for one planet, one people, myself. If everyone is multiracial then there will be no race to single out. I always wanted babies who wouldn't get sunburned like I do. Unfortunately, I wasn't lucky enough to have them.

Racism just really need to stop. We can't move forward if we're still stuck in the past, or judge someone because the color of their skin. I'm sorry you couldn't have your babies Noor.

Thanks! I am pretty ok with it.

In some ways I think racism and sexism too is worse now than it was when I was younger like in the 70's. It's like society has broken down into more factions and there is less common feeling of being Americans first. I am sure it's economic, it is much harder to change one's circumstances and get ahead these days.

Racism comes from the system making sure that those at the bottom fight each other rather than the people causing their situation, Smoove. Why do poorly-paid workers blame immigrants for low wages? The immigrants would like higher wages too - they aren't the ones paying shit. But no-one blames the bosses paying the crappy wages. Why are poor white people disproportionately more racist than better off white people? Because better off white people have less to fear, and don't have to look over their shoulder all the time.

When you're a rat trapped at the bottom of a well, what you should do is not kill the other rats trapped with you. What you should do is what other social creatures like ants do - create a living bridge to climb out. If people work together, and look up rather than down, and see why they are really in such a terrible situation in the first place instead of blaming those nearest to them - whether that be Mr Johnson blaming black people, or LJ blaming feminism, or whatever it happens to be - THAT's when real change will happen.

Racism is strong in the black community, but few want to acknowledge that fact. It's a human problem, but too many concentrate on white racism. It's time for all the racism that exists to be acknowledged. It's there:

"The Other Racial Divide
Were Asian-American businesses targeted in the Baltimore riots?"

"When guests at a North Korea Freedom Week dinner in Northern Virginia learned the Korean-American pastor at our table led a Maryland church, they immediately asked about the situation in Baltimore. It was May 1, and National Guard troops had been deployed to the city three days earlier to help quell the unrest sparked by the death of a man in police custody. The pastor let out a deep sigh before responding. A few members of his congregation had lost everything. After working diligently for years building small businesses in a new country, they watched their efforts literally go up in flames as looters trashed their shops and carted off their merchandise.

The crisis reminded many in America’s growing community of two million Korean immigrants and their descend-ants of another city’s devastation two decades earlier. Baltimore’s riots began two days before the anniversary of the outbreak of the 1992 Los Angeles riots, in which Koreatown, the heart of the Korean diaspora in America, was subjected to pogrom-like attacks by irate mobs. Though Asian Americans had nothing to do with either Rodney King’s or Freddie Gray’s injuries, they appear to have been the targets of some of the animosity unleashed by rioters.

The depth of feeling about the L.A. riots—which left some Korean-American business owners who lacked insurance permanently impoverished—reached even the ancestral homeland, as I well remember. A delegation of dissidents, including pastors, labor leaders, academics, and students, called at the U.S. consulate at which I was stationed in Busan, South Korea’s second-largest city, in the spring of 1992 to demand that President George H. W. Bush “do something to protect our compatriots from rioters.” They considered inadequate the official U.S. government response that protection of life and property in civil disturbances in the United States was a local issue, primarily for Los Angeles mayor Tom Bradley, and that deploying the National Guard was the prerogative of California’s governor, then Pete Wilson. That evening, an enraged student demonstrator tossed a Molotov cocktail at the U.S. consul’s car—my car—as it departed through the consulate’s gates. Fortunately, the official car was armor-plated, a surplus U.S. government vehicle left over from the 1988 Calgary Winter Olympic Games, so the gasoline-filled, lit bottle bounced off it without igniting.

Baltimore has brought back these painful memories and raised a less-examined racial divide than the obvious one between black and white America. Not only in Los Angeles and Baltimore, but in Ferguson and other cities caught up in racially charged confrontations, Asian-American shopkeepers, including Chinese, Indian, Pakistani, and Arab Americans as well as Koreans, appear to have been the victims of racial profiling. These recent immigrants came to the United States largely after the Civil War and the Jim Crow system of segregation and thus have no connection to the charges of continued institutional racism that some blame for the disturbances. Yet the New York Times reported April 27 that gang members in Baltimore had specifically “stood in front of stores that they knew were black-owned businesses to protect them from looting and vandalism,” pointing the rioters instead “toward Chinese- and Arab-owned stores.”"

People will never unite tho. So I think being racist should become a crime. If you are racist you do 5 to 10. It might don't stop people from being racist, but it damn sure would stop people from showing it. I know people that got locked up for more stupider reasons then that. It should become a law.

I know blacks are racist. My grandfather still have "The Man" mentality. But I never met a black that just hated someone because the color of their skin. Blacks racism is more like you hate me so I'm going to hate you too. Any shop other than black would've been fucked with. They wasn't necessarily targeting Asians, the Asians just happened to be there. They felt like the world is saying fuck them, so they mentality was fuck everybody else.

Think about what you're saying, smoove. If it were white gangs instead of black gangs protecting certain shops, substitute 'white' for 'black' in the emboldened sentence and see how you like it.

Honestly speaking, if the shoe was on the other foot and whites was in the same situation I really wouldn't care. I'm probably the most level headed black man that is actually in the streets. And when war break out you got to pick a side, and it's war out there. I understand the reason behind the blacks stores getting protection. If if it was reserved, I would understand any other race reason for doing the same thing. That turn the other cheek, Dr Martin Luther King bullshit, just won't work. So I truly understand the black panther approach.

You're more honest than most about this subject, smoove. Got to give you credit for that.

 

[duranman]

Has a white woman ever actually chosen a black man?

Or is it the old myth that they resort to that extreme as they realise white guys don't desire them? I personally think the myth's probably true though a little harsh to make the point...

Hell yes, and sometimes black women choose a white man. Your point?

 

[smoothg103rd]

I pride myself on my honestly. Dig this tho, if you was hitting on my girl, and I asked you to please stop, would you? No because if you would, you wouldn't did it in the first place. But if I pulled out a gun, and tell you to stop, I would bet my life on it that you would stop. People are going to do what they want to do anyway. Kind words like please stop and no don't do that, just won't cut it. And that's how I feel what these protesting and marches are doing. People respond to action, and when someone mind is made up, only fear can deter him from that path. Please and stop just won't cut it. And the government really don't give a fuck. They are still fighting wars in other countries and they're the reasons why the wars started. When they're wars going own in their own country, that they don't give a fuck about, because it doesn't reach them and they don't benefit from it. My big homie once told me, if you hit a man in his pocket, you will most definitely get his attention. And burning shit to the ground is definitely hitting the government in his pockets. This shit would never happen in Beverly Hills, even if you took the same rioters from Baltimore and put them there. So why is it happening in Baltimore?


And please understand that I am not trying to be racist or socially divided. I will feel the same way if any other race was going through this. It just hits home because I am black.

Your mother chose me. Saying that, I'll let you work out your little theory on your own.
