free speech

[likemclever]

I could care less if someone calls me a â??crackerâ?� or â??the man.â?� I even kind of find those words funny when there used intelligentlyâ?¦..thatâ??s because I have a sense of humor.

I think people need to relax a little bit when it comes to race. Iâ??m sick of the â??Iâ??m such a victim shit.â?� Being a victim never helped anyone.

And if I have to listen to the cracker jokes (whoever told the cracker joke, lets say itâ??s a Mexican) than you have to listen to my Mexican jokesâ?¦â?¦â?¦fucken lighten up people tasteless jokes will be alive foreverâ?¦â?¦

There are so many hard-working minorities who take advantage of any and all opportunities they can grasp in this country. Why not celebrate those who do, instead of rip apart those who dont? We certainly aren't focussed on those who dont as far as whites are concerned. I blame the media.

Why not help American citizens EQUALY instead of picking out the colors you like���

Are you sure about that? Really?
Would you or any white people you know trade shoes with a black person of equal education? If not, why not? Other than reasons like "I like me for me".
We know the deck is stacked in our favor in this country. We may not like to admit it, but its the reality.

You bet your sweet ass I would���REALLY.

I would definitely trade places. Do you have any idea how much cheaper I could go to school? Do you realize that an illegal immigrant in this country can get better financial aid assistance in this country than I canâ?¦..you wanna talk about racism.

OK well than the job marketâ?¦

I will have a harder time getting a job than someone who is a minority��THAT is my reality.






Iâ??m still waiting for all of those white bread perks that Iâ??ve heard soooooo much about.

So, the people affected by hurricane Katrina were what? 90% black? And the focus on some blacks looting probably means that the case has been made against black people? If a mostly white city had a disaster similar and the people affected were 90% white, and we saw some whites looting, how do you think the media and the people would portray that? Would they make it an issue of race, or something individual?

Yeah, that's pretty much what I was saying too....

I'm saying the media was criticized for portraying these poor black people in a bad light.....

....their skin color didn't affect the coverage.........The media didn't make black people out to be "mean/bad".........these particular black people WERE "mean/bad." ......not because they were black.....but because they were bad.

So anyway, whatever racism in turn they can dish out against whites, Im pretty sure white people can handle it, because it wont affect us even close to the degree racism affects non-whites. Thatâ??s the difference. So in close racism isnâ??t racism, its not a black and white issue like that just yet.

I totally disagree with you here.....


I have never owned a slave or any other human being for that matter. Neither did my ancestors.....thatâ??s probably because THEY WERE POOR WHITE PEOPLE. So for someone to say to me that I some how "deserve" or should simply "tolerate" people treating me inappropriately because they have a big black (or any other color) chip on their shoulder......sorry not going to happen. I do not feel the need let people trample on me because I feel sorry for some shit that I had no control over.......racism doesn't somehow affect me less because I'm white.........racism is racism.

The shirt had a pic of presidents Bush and Clinton and the word 'fuck'. The airline told her if she changed her shirt she could resume her next flight on the way. She said no. She was unable to fly on to her destination. I thought we had the freedom of speech in this country. This is the sort of thing that Rating: 5
