re: This isn't really up for debate...

Quoting Tarynosaurus Rex:" I went to school in Kansas City for two years but it was a very poor school and I was 2 years ahead of everyone in my grade. I graduated from Odessa though."

I guess you can say my school was poor too. I went to Lincoln Prep in historical 18th and Vine.

My mom used to be a truancy officer in that area.

I agree with OP!

I also think its ridiculous when people say "Every other month is white history month." That sounds just as stupid. History is history for everyone.....

Racism is still very alive.

Quoting bbbt:" Racism is still very alive. "

woooow.   That made my jaw drop.

Quoting bbbt:" Racism is still very alive. "

That's disgusting.

Quoting Tarynosaurus Rex:" That's disgusting."

Vengeance is that their full name is connected to what they said forever.

lol.. I had to check out my FB to see if anyone made smurf comments. Thankfully, no. In fact, nobody mentioned MLK Day at all. *shrug*

Quoting Tarynosaurus Rex:" Just gonna say it. If you refer to today as n----r day or even use that word at all to describe black people you are most DEFINITELY an ignorant piece of smurf. Have a nice day!  "

This. Its disgusting when African Americans say it about each other. I wont read it aloud when doing group readings in class. I tell my students they dont have to say it either.

Such a disgusting word.

Not 5 minutes after I read this, I went to FB and my cousin had posted this:

"DONT SmUrfING JUDGE ME BECAUSE OF THIS ITS TRUE ADMIT IT BLACK OR WHITE EVERYONE SHOULD BE EQUAL

You call me "Cracker", "Honkey", "Whitey", "Gringo" and you think it's OK.

...But when I call you smurf, sand smurf, rag head ,Towelhead, WOP, Camel Jockey, smurf, smurf, slant eyes, porch monkey or Chink you call me a racist.

-You say that whites commit a lot of violence against you, so why are the ghettos the most dangerous places to live?

-You have the United Negro College Fund.
-You have Martin Luther King Day.
-You have Black History Month.
-You have Cesar Chavez Day.
-You have Yom Hashoah
-You have Ma'uled Al-Nabi
-You have the NAACP.
-You have BET.

-If we had WET(white entertainment television) ...we'd be racist.
-If we had a White Pride Day... you would call us racist.
-If we had white history month... we'd be racist.
-If we had an organization for only whites to "advance" our lives... we'd be racist.
-If we had a college fund that only gave white students scholarships...you know we'd be racist.
-In the Million Man March, you believed that you were marching for your race and rights. If we marched for our race and rights...you would call us racist.
-Did you know that some high school students decided to make a club for only the white students because the other ethnicities had them... they all got sent to court for being racist but the african-american, Latino, and Asia clubs were not even questioned.
-You are proud to be black, brown, yellow and orange, and you're not afraid to announce it. But when we announce our white pride, you call us racists.

Why is it that only whites can be racists?"

*bangs head against wall* I can't handle these people.

I REALLY wish I had a magic wand and I could change their race and relocate them.
Yes, it's great that they have their names attached to their asinine comments.
It's also good to know that they are probably poor and will never be more than poor. Unfortunately, that means I'm supporting them.

Why is it only whites can be racist? Well you see, racism doesn't just involve prejudice. It involves systematic power to oppress another race. Only white people have that power, so only white people can be racist. Any race can be prejudice, but not racist.

No. Racism is simply racism. It is believing one race is superior to another. There are racists of all races. White people don't own racism.

Quoting TheNuge:" <blockquote><b>Quoting Tarynosaurus Rex:</b>" Why is it only whites can be racist? ... [snip!] ... racism. It is believing one race is superior to another. There are racists of all races. White people don't own racism."

To think so is racism.

People are so weird about racism.

Most sociologists agree that prejudice+POWER=racism. Without power there is no racism. Minorities don't have power over white people. Only white people have power over minorities.
