What Is Your Say On Racism

[Rikaninja]

Racism. A comon thing, even in our modern and complex lives. Do you live with it. Do you unleash its terror onto others? What do you think about this commonly debated matter?

[乳头的早餐谷物]

I believe racism is a concept invented by minorities so they can get away with looting our stores and raping our virtuous maidens.

[otters]

I believe racism is a concept invented by Michelle Obama.

Racism is bad, but it will never be stopped.

The leading opinion seems to be that racism was invented by Trotsky.

Speaking (and Yahoozy will back me up on this) as one of the blackest members of this community, I would say that Metanet itself is fairly free from racism. I haven't always been the blackest dude around but I've rarely noticed discrimination against myself because of my hue. That said, I've always tried to surround myself with good friends who don't care about the colour of my skin and accept me unconditionally.

...As opposed to surrounding yourself with friends who care about the colour of your skin and accept you conditionally?

I accept your challenge!

[Tanner]

Do you unleash its terror on others?

True. I have yet to encounter any racism since I've entered Metanet. Clean community.

I try to hold some hope in my heart for these African youths
Coming up where I'm from, many traps to elude
Surrounded by mostly white and affluent dudes
And somehow, you expected to have
Mastered this smooth swagger and move
With the right walk, the right talk
Fashion and crews
Souls subtly attacked and abused
And what's funny's being black wasn't cool
Where I'm from til suddenly
You started hearing rap in the school
Hallways
Amidst this madness I grew
With knack for amusing through this little skill
For rapping at dudes
An' we all like to laugh at the truth
But when you young and same facts
Pertain to who you rapping em to
Well, I opted not to bring
That to the booth
But after a while, it sort of starts nagging at you
The crazed infatuation with blackness
That trash that gets viewed
And the fact that the tube only showed blacks
Acting the fool and I was watching...

And it's sad cause that naturally do
Sort of condition your mind and over time
That's what's attractive to you
So young blacks don't see themselves in
Scholastic pursuits
Or the more practical routes
It's making tracks or it's hoops
Or God-forbid movin packs for the loot
Even with this music we so limited - it's rap or produce
And that narrow conception of what's black isn't true
Of course, still we feel forced to adapt to this view
Like there's something that you're having to prove
Now add that to the slew
Of justification the capitalists use
For the new blaxploitation
Many actions excused
In the name of getting cash
That's adversely impactin our youth
With mental slavery, the shackles is loose
And it's hard to cut chains when they attached at the roots
So what the new black activists do
For our freedom is just being them
Do what you're passionate to
Not confined by a sense that you have to disprove
Any stereotypes, so-called facts to refute
Or match any image of blackness
They've established as true
Perhaps we'll break through the glass ceilings
Shatter the roof and emerge
From these boxes that they have us in cooped
And grow to smash the mold that they casted of you
I'll keep watching...

Is this topic a joke? This is worse than "how do you feel about gays?".

Sooo...

how do you guys feel about Nazism? What's your say on Hitler? Was he kind of a bad guy, maybe?

Guy had a cool mustache. And hey, Mussolini made the trains run on time*, so he couldn't have been that bad.

*Actually, he didn't. That's a common myth.




In fairness, it's good to at least discuss racism, as many people have racial prejudices that they lie about but still act on. Exhibit A: my parents. Haha.

Right. What are we supposed to say? That we support racism fully?

[乳头的早餐谷物]

Can this become the racist joke thread now? I've got some good ones.

[TribulatioN]

Racism is secretly narcissism, and openly a self esteem booster for the wrong reasons.

[Turtle]

Racism is unacceptable, and should not be tolerated, etc, etc.
Yet it's all over America, etc etc
Passive agressive, etc, etc...

[LittleViking]

We all know racism is gay. Thread closed.
