You have to react and argue and shame fucking little racist pricks that only repeat what they've heard from daddy in order to please him, otherwise they keep thinking they are being funny. And by that I mean pretend you find their racism amusing, make a video of it, put it on youtube and send the link to everyone they know.

I love it when people say "I'm not racist, I have tons of black friends."

I really do.

SuchFriendsAreDangerous 06.21.2010 10:15 PM

aggressively. bigotry must be returned in kind, assholes have to feel the heat to understand how stupid they are.

FreshChops 06.21.2010 10:34 PM

I find racism more prevalent and more concentrated within minorities directed upwards.

Yeah, that's pretty much how I feel. And in my hometown racism is so rampant (from both sides) that it seems almost hopeless to try.

It's even funnier when it's discovered that the ones most vociferous over racism don't actually have any black friends. "The ones" being white, middle class, PC posturing twats whose parents ironically employ black maid servants. And it's even funnier when my point is made they counterfuge it with "I have tons of black friends", ironically mirroring the anally patronising soundbite of the lunatical left when on an asinine witchhunt of "I'm not racist, I have tons of black friends".

Yet the irony of a racist BNP supporter and felator of Nick Griffin such as yourself condemning others for PC posturing and racism is lost on you. Why just the other day Mother called you into the pantry to help her open some jars in preparation for elevenses, but you were too busy upstairs with Griffin's mouldy member stuffed in your gob to come help her until twenty of the Queen's minutes later when we had already eaten. :rolleyes:

I just ignore it -- no one has ever tried to force me to see their side of things, or involved me in any racist activities, or perhaps I've never met anyone who is a hardcore racist; certainly, I've met tons of people who are a little racist. But, yeah, I haven't lived the life of the people who have formed this opinion, so how can I judge them? Mostly, I just try to mind my own business -- if people get cheated on by women, they'll probably have a bad view on women. If people get shit stolen from them by Mexicans, they'll probably have a bad outlook on Mexicans. That's just how most people are. I don't think most people are really hardcore Nazi racists or something -- at least not around here; the people I've met seem to be insulting towards other races, but also know that you can't base your opinion on an entire race of people because of the fuckheads they've met. People just hate people in general -- people hate their own race probably more than any other race. I mean, people in general are usually bad... so yeah.

...Like I said, as far as my "reaction" goes, I just try to mind my own business -- everyone has political views, outlooks on life, etc. that I don't agree with, but they probably have some reason for getting to that point in their mind. On the other hand, there are people that are completely ignorant and don't seem to have any reason for coming to their conclusions... but that goes with anything. Ultimately, if a person is such a hardcore racist that it influences every facet of their being, of course I couldn't be friends with them... but I've never met anyone like that.

...well, I am friends with a white girl whose mom was raped and chopped up to bits by a black man. Literally cut up to pieces with the body parts put in a garbage bag. So, she's a little racist towards black people now -- mostly stemming from fear. I mean, I can understand that. I'm not racist at all -- but I can see how something traumatic like that could change a person's character... couldn't you?

On the other hand, I know another white girl who was raped by a black guy -- she was 12 at the time. And she's not racist at all... so yeah. Who knows.

If you get to know anyone well enough, you'll probably find a shit-ton of things to hate about them, so my thing in life is to just try not to get too close to anyone else, and hope they don't get too close to me. Makes things a lot simpler.

The working classes are more likely to be racist. You're talking nonsense Keeping It in The Family.

As would pusillanimous pukes such as yourself, why not try that first? Why it would be the greatest possible contribution to humanity you are ever likely to make. :rolleyes:

Wrong.

Keeping It Gimple 06.22.2010 05:57 AM

And yet again, incapable of expressing anything of merit, the barmy berk is reduced to pouting "no" like a stroppy child desperate for attention to be paid to its whiny demands.

how do you know? You don't know what long term and subtle impact you may have on people's lives after they walk away from you :)

It's true, wisdom and knowledge take time to sink in, especially if they are fighting against ingrained prejudice and years of bigotry

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Rob Instigator again.
