Wow, I had no idea that's why it was illegal.

IFlogMyMolly16 05-25-2005 09:59 PM

OK affirmative action is BS nowadays. Especially in the sense of quotas.

What makes me angry is whenever you take standardized tests in school you are supposed to fill out your race/ethcnicity. How are we supposed to teach kids that it doesn't matter when their scores are ranked based on others "of their kind" on everything. Stupid.

In my health class last year we had a woman come in who was addicted to heroin at age 5 or 6, and talked about how her husband and several boyfriends died due to drugs. That sh[I]it[/I] is way better than having a cop come tell you "Say No to Drugs."

I still have my DARE shirt from 5th grade.

[QUOTE=IFlogMyMolly16]Precisely. I still go to church like 2x a month or so because my dad makes me. I'm definitely not marrying in a Catholic church or making my kids be Catholic.[/QUOTE]
You go to church way more than I do. I usually only go 3 times a year at least, and everybody hates us there. Except for one preist, but he just recently died.

[QUOTE=TheNowhereman42]I look at rascist blacks with the exact same contempt as rescist whites.[/QUOTE]Then act like it. I hate when people talk about racists and the first people who come up are whites. Sorry, most whites are just a bit ignorant about other racists because most white Americans are pretty sheltered from what's going around them with other ethnicities. But blacks are actually straight up racist, they have hate in their hearts for the white man. Not all, but the majority have a problem with us.

I wish I had gotten that. We got STD pictures in sex ed, don't think they did much.

TheNowhereman42 05-25-2005 10:02 PM

[QUOTE=Brain Squirmin' Like a Toad]Another question I've been asking. I despise the double standard. Blacks can be racist against blacks all they want. Stuff like "Black power" "Brown power" or s'hit like that is fine, but a white person who is proud of their heritage is racist. And affirmitvie action, don't get me started on that.[/QUOTE]

acctually the desk I sit at someone drew a swastica on, then the next day someone crossed that out and wrote "brown pride" under it. So I crossed them both out and drew a circle E. The government sanctions white power demonstrations just like they do with black power and brown pride, soley because they have to. But you have to remember those movements were all started out of a striving for equality, where as white power was started to increase the persecutuion of other races in the country.

And many people hate affirmative action, white and black, man and woman.

RetiredAt21 05-25-2005 10:02 PM

I have to agree with Shane on the racism thing.

I know, I think its complete BS that some asian dude or black dude has more of a chance getting into a college even if they have worse grades than me. To me thats racist in itself, saying that minorities arent as smart.

RetiredAt21 05-25-2005 10:03 PM

My g/f is Asian and she got a scholarship for college, even though her grades aren't all that great.

They have equlity now, and it seems they are pushing for supremacy.

Race scholarships are fun. If I tried, I could get one for french-canadian heritage I think.

Of course it is. It can also bring down that minority's self esteem because they can think to themselves that "Hey, maybe I only got this job mostly because I'm ______; not mostly because I'm well-qualified."

RetiredAt21 05-25-2005 10:05 PM

Wait, I'm lost, who is pushing for supremacy? Whites or minorities?

IFlogMyMolly16 05-25-2005 10:05 PM

This is good conversation.

I concur, haven't had a community thread like this in awhile.

RetiredAt21 05-25-2005 10:06 PM

When my dad was in the army, he ran into some Black Panther guys down in Georgia. They were threatening to beat the **** out of him until he showed them his pistol he was carrying around.

shane italian 05-25-2005 10:07 PM

Black power people were never looking for equality, I just wanted to get that out of the way.

Brain Toad 05-25-2005 10:07 PM

Woah. Because of this convo, I have captured the most posts in thread. I have less of a life than any of you!

I do, you should have seen the wssay I wrote on Malcom X. Although he stopped being such a rascist a'sshole later in his life and got killed for it. But in all honesty, I see swasticas drawn all ove school text books, but I've never seen black power scrawled on a desk. I just recently read Bomb the Suburbs, a book on black culture written by a white guy. It seems from his experiences most blacks, even extremist nation of islam ones, will act civil towards a white man after he has proved himself a good guy, but I've met many rascist whites who will NEVER get along with a black man. Plus, white people [I]are[/I] the cause of most of the world's problems, and I'd say that the white race would definatly be who I'd kill off if I had to choose one.

EDIT: When I think about it, the wealthy classes are really the cause of the world's problems, most of them just happen to be white.

Everyone just fu[I]c[/I]k a person of another race so we can all form a super race of one color.

Perhaps not hte heads of the groups, but many of the members of the groups were simply striving for equality.

I know a girl that is half black and half EVERY thing else. Her parents already got the memo.

I'd do her.

My grandpa always pinches his skin and says "This...this is just a wetsuit. They all come in different colors, but we're the same underneath it all."
