Re: The Racism Discussion thread
Why is racism so profound in the Southern USA as it has been for centuries?
There's a statement for you.
Why is there a KKK and why isn't the government doing anything about it?

Re: The Racism Discussion thread
The KKK is not isolated to the southern states. We have various neo-nazi and white supremacist groups in just about all 50 states. Some racists apparently don't like the heat.Originally Posted by TheSilverKnight
And please, if this is going to be a serious discussion, let's not confine this to the US. There are plenty of racists in Europe as well, at least amongst the football fan(atic)s and the various nationalistic parties.

Cowardice is to run from the fear;
Bravery is not to never feel the fear.
Bravery is to be terrified as hell;
But to hold the line anyway.
Re: The Racism Discussion thread
I was going to put in something along the lines of "Racism is not isolated to any one country or race", which is sadly the case. Instead, I got a little irked about TheSilverKnight's post, in a "let he who is without sin..." kind of way.

Re: The Racism Discussion thread
Racism is more prevelent in the northern US and even some places in the West than in the South. Perceptions dont equal reality.
Re: The Racism Discussion thread
Its not so profound as most europeans would seem to believe nor has it been the same for centuries noer is it anywhere near as bad as in the Middle East or most of europe for that matter.Why is racism so profound in the Southern USA as it has been for centuries?
THe KKK is basicly a memory here and this illustrates what I was saying about europeans. Listening to you guys you would think their still marching around in white sheets burning crosses on peoples lawns and stringing up black people.Their not , not only because the government has done a great deal about it but so have the american people.Why is there a KKK and why isn't the government doing anything about it?

Re: The Racism Discussion thread
I'm sorry if I've offended you, it's just most I hear about racism is concentrated to the American South with whites against blacks. I'm sorry again if I've offended you, but that was a serious two questions there.I was going to put in something along the lines of "Racism is not isolated to any one country or race", which is sadly the case. Instead, I got a little irked about TheSilverKnight's post, in a "let he who is without sin..." kind of way.

Re: The Racism Discussion thread
True on both counts.

Re: The Racism Discussion thread
Racism isn't as prevalent as it was 40 or hell 20 years ago but its still here an example last fall during football season smithson valley (nearly all white) and Judson (nearly all black) were playing and a 10 yr old sv kid was beat up by some kids from judson reasons unknown. So this kids older brother gets his friends goes to the judson buses writes all sorts of dumb stuff like Ni**er go back or a burned and went into the bus took his hunting knife tore out all the cushion in the seating and left a noose in the middle of the bus.Its getting much better but there are still strong feelings on both sides
This was an isolated idiotic incdent and everyone was angry so it is getting better

I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.
Re: The Racism Discussion thread
What I don't understand is why the hell everyone sees racism as black versus white. There is no such thing as counter racism, or whatever it's called.
Racism was a problem from the beggining of recorded history, and yet, people seem to only look at white versus black, especially in America.
I agree wholeheartedly. What is a race? Is it based off of language, or culture, or just looks? Is it based off of geographical location, or what?Racism is a flawed position because race as a category is problematic.
It is especially muddy in places that were conquered over and over again by different peoples, and the people merged over time, such as Central Asia, Russia, the Balkans, etc.

Re: The Racism Discussion thread
yeah i wonder about that too. i once said that racism is still a big issue, the best answer i got was no it isnt, we got a black counceler.
most racists hate everyone that isnt like them or that never could be like them (on the outside)
that includes (for most neo-nazi's) muslims, blacks, gothics, indians, jews, etc
for muslim racists, particular everyone that isnt muslim and especially jews
etc etc.
and i think that the "group" that has been hurt by racism the most are the JEWS and not blacks muslims or anyone else.
