Racism is alive and well in the US

I was raised that Jesus loves ALL the little children.

I was raised in a similar way, but learned shortly thereafter that Jesus was the reflection of a people who lived in a time of monarchistic oppression, highly underdeveloped science, and intellectual isolation. And further, he's been a tool of those who take steps against our basic rights and liberties.

So Jesus and I aren't exactly pals. ;)

Kebabs are racist? I shall have to tell the guys at the Pakistani run kebab shop down the road from me. Chavs is not about racism, they are all white for a start. Racism is all over the world as you say, Thais hate Indians, Arabs and Chinese, West Indians can't abide Africans, West Africans hate people from the Horn of Africa.

Race is not restricted to skin pigmentation.

Give it up. They are all up on their soap boxes right now telling us how enlightened they are, etc... etc... etc...

Trying to get them to think and reflect while they are in the middle of their self admiration is a waste of time.

I find it comical sone riechwingers don't think racism is a huge issue.

define huge?

I don't think anyone denies that racism exists. Of course it does.

What I object to is the notion that we somehow still live in the Jim Crow era created by democrats.

What I object to is this notion that the democrats are somehow the saviors of the black community as if the democrats hands are clean with regards to the history of racism in this country. You lefties seem to want to live in the past when it comes to racism, you just don't want to acknowledge your parties responsibility.

What I object to is the notion that anything negative in the black community is automatically attributed to racism.

What I object to is the notion that ONLY white people can be racist

So you can take your flawed premise and peddle it elsewhere. I am sure Desh will commiserate with you over it

so now I have a silver spoon? too funny.

You have the reading comprehension of a baboon and you probably throw your own feces on the wall. Where did I ever tell them what to think? How you got that from my post is astounding. This is why it is impossible to debate with a liberal. Not only are you dumb as dog shit. You can't even read
 
Ila/dumbyanky your a riech wing gem maker machine!
Slave owners weren't racist
Luv it klansman
Please keep your thoughts on racism and down markets coming
Priceless

racism varies by where you live, speak and look.

try being white in parts of hawaii or other nonwhite areas in the nation just like being the 'wrong' color in other places. however, racial 'purity' is on the decline.

also, a persons social economic status impacts how they are treated.

short, tall, fat, thin, good looking, ugly...the list is endless

talk to a sociologist if you want more information (my wife was a sociology major) or just travel a lot

even the way you dress varies how you are treated.

shut the fuck up bro. seriously, you are just being a derailing troll. yes, DNA wise race doesn't really exist. That's fucking obvious and also totally irrelevant. As a matter of culture, reality, and general colloquialism, race is very real in our society. Even you know that, so knock it off with your masturbatory factoid citing masquerading as meaningful conversation.
 
How this thread has been:

"Personally, I disagree strongly with the yahoo comment section"

can someone link me to the (probably hilarious) little kid anthem singer bashing? Sounds like a good read.

I was reading an article in Yahoo last night about how white Americans now have minority status in the under 5 age group. Their was nothing controversial, in my opinion, about the article but what grossed me out was the yahoo comments section. It was one racist comment after the other and they all had hundreds of thumbs up hits. Most of the comments we're viral stereotypes about minorities. I was pretty shocked. I wish I could find the link. I should have posted on it last night when I read it.

14-year-old internet trolls aren't really the best indication of where our society as a whole stands.
