So Why The Double Standard?

Why don't you go give it a whirl and let us know how you make out?

Well the problem is, I have trouble using racial pejoratives, I always have... they just don't want to come out of my mouth. I don't have any problem with other types of pejoratives, I can call people stupid and dumb all day long... I use 'pinhead' regularly... but when it involves race, creed or ethnicity, I have trouble with it. Being that I am 1/16 black, I am curious as to whether that means I am a racist? Can someone clarify the rules on this please?

Where's the proof that Poet is racist?

If you have it, why didn't you post it?

If you don't have it, why'd you say he's racist?

That's why you're SmarterThanFew.

if you haven't been paying attention, then you're a dumbass still. there have been several threads on this board where poet has labeled people racist with no evidence whatsoever, on top of using his own racial names for those he disagrees with. that's why you're the dumbest fuckhead on here.

I'm curious... I happen to be 1/16 African-American... is that enough black blood for me to use the N-word and not be racist? Obama is half white, but he looks black... so is it alright for someone like Obama, who looks more black, to use the N-word? Does this go by whether you look black, or how much black blood you have? Maybe it's one of those 'purist' things, you have to be all black and look all black, to be able to use the N-word? Maybe if you have "one drop" of white blood, it forbids you from using the word? Is that how it works, poet?

I wouldn't know, as I don't use the word. And I don't approve of the word being used by anyone. You don't get it, obviously. The context, the history, the implication.
Me, saying it to another black, is a universe apart from you saying it to me. If you can't get that...I can't help you. Why do you feel the need to say it, in the first place? That's the question. I'm roughly 1/6 white, which is more than your 1/16...does that enable me to be a member of the "good ol' boys" club, or to exercise "white privilege"?

You know, when you point fingers, you have a big ol' thumb, pointing back at you. Funny, you were unable to elaborate or explain "how" I'm a racist. Why? Because it's not true.

it is true, you know it. you've had it pointed out to you over a hundred times by the name calling you yourself have done. denying it only makes you look moronic.
poet said:
The conservatives, of course, have a problem with me being intelligent, glib, black, and gay...and (wait for it)....Christian. It kinda flies in the face of their stereotypes : gays are effeminate, indiscriminate and never masculine....blacks are stupid, shiftless, and have their hands out....intelligent blacks are "uppity" and don't know their place. I'm here to upset that applecart. And that's what you and yours can't stand.

wow, irony you ridiculing stereotypes. why am I a racist again?

poet said:
In your beef with me, you've alienated yourself from your white counterparts who profess to be lefties.

why would I care if they are white or any other color? if they're stupid, they're stupid. color has nothing to do with it, at least as far as i'm concerned. you happen to be the only one bringing up color differences.

Divide and conquer, I always say. Moron. The reason why Neanderthals went extinct, is because they couldn't adapt. Homo Sapiens (man with knowledge) succeeded where they failed. Why do you think I refer to your kind as Neanderthals?
Click to expand...
because you're racist.

poet said:
Because you are failing to adapt to an ever-changing world, where whites are in the minority, and forced to share power, space, and resources. Nothing can prevent the inevitable. One can only adapt. You're fighting it, tooth and nail. You're a Neanderthal. Neanderthals don't change....they go extinct. Hello? SmarterThanNoOne.

failing to adapt? i need you to show me one single post where i've denigrated anyone on the basis of their color, creed, gender, or orientation. just one. whereas we can show dozens of yours.

Calling people racist is racist?

What racial names? Link up.

You're still SmarterThanFew until you do.
 
poet said:
It's not racism because the objects of the word, share a context and a history that you could never share. It makes them equals...whereas whites used the word to demean and to depreciate human beings. Are you serious? You think a black saying the word and a white saying the word is the same thing? Explain how that could be. And to top it off, you think it's racist for you to be forbidden to use the word. Explain a context in which using the word would be respectful, appropriate, or innocuous being used by a white person.
More white privilege ("I can say, do, think anything, because I'm white), on your part. I'm here to short-circuit that shit.

the mere fact that you can differentiate a difference based on color proves your a racist POS. try short circuiting that shit.

You're not in contact with the real world. That wouldn't be me.....that would be me, reacting to your differentiating according to color, which is the textbook definition of racism.
Behold, yourself in a mirror.

you've yet to show me one significant piece of evidence where i've differentiated according to color, however you have displayed numerous references to racism by the terms you give to people you don't agree with. that is the definition of idiocy. the real world awaits you.

How do you figure you are 1/6th ANYTHING? You have 2 parents, 4 grandparents, 8 great grandparents, 16 great-great grandparents. You can be 1/2, 1/4, 1/8, or 1/16... I don't comprehend how you could ever be 1/6th, unless there is some pretty kinky shit happening in your family tree. Which of your ancestors was white? Maybe I can help you figure this out?

Back to the argument... I don't feel the need to say the n-word, I was just curious as to whether I could, and not be considered a racist. Does it go by your actual skin color... if you look black enough, it's okay? Or is it your bloodline? And does your bloodline have to be pure? I'm just trying to get my mind around this... you claim it's not a racist and offensive word in some cases, and in other cases it is reprehensible... I'm just trying to figure out where we draw the distinctions?

As for your membership in the good ole boys club.... if you know of such a place and they won't let you join because you are black, the ACLU will be glad to take your case pro bono, as this would be a flagrant violation of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Also, if you know of any business or institution exercising "white privilege" this can be litigated as well. I wasn't sure you were aware of the new laws, they've only been in effect for the past 47 years.
