rolling "Is This Racist?" thread

^ underrated flavor in the jelly bellies mixed set

the white guilt article expresses its excruciatingly myopic choadness w/ surprising neatness - 'the right to treat everyone the same'

xpost surprising for once comment boxers less racist and crazy than article

this didn't last very long, fyi

yeah the comnments are pretty O_o

yeah that article pretty much is the *heart* of racism - one guy of a certain race (apparently) did something bad to me, so I'm going to look at that entire race differently, as though it's not okay to just hate a *person*

I like Pareene's joke:

"Wise up, White Americans. Your liberal parents lied to you when they said “this country’s centuries-old tradition of state-sponsored discrimination and institutional racism means a black person would never steal your bike, so just park that shit wherever.” "

true story: my brother's car was broken into and his stereo was stolen, so he went around the neighborhood to ask if anyone saw or heard anything. Our white neighbor told him he thought it might be the black kids that regularly walked down the street after school, and then he tried to sell my brother a hot car sterero he got from his cousin as a partial payment for weed.

my brother never said anything abt losing his white guilt that day iirc

I didn't lose my white guilt, I left it parked down the street and someone stole it.

Someone did steal my bike once. That is all I was able to figure out about that one. The cops laughed at me and the dude at the closest pawn shop gave me a rough look for even inquiring about what he might know re: stolen bikes.

Got my bike seat stolen; blamed white people because I have a quick-release seat thing and I parked it by the street when they were reprinting the front porch for a week and I live in Portland.

Repainting, rather.

you let white people paint your porch?

Their skills are usually better suited for picket fences.

when my bike got stolen, I had just replaced the seat and post which had been stolen a month before, thx to quick release technology. that time the bike shop dudes laughed at me.

Stolen bicycles must be pretty funny.

hate it or love it

"Back in 1859, I was in a poor white neighborhood in Charleston, where I parked my negro while I went into a church. When I came back he had been stolen!"

^^ Is this racist?

um

I'm leaning hard toward 'yes'.

i like the dude in the red hat's what i like to think of as "the hell??" expression

That's seriously on some Sarah Silverman "I love ch***s" misguided appreciation schtick. Plus totally wrong nationality for the joke for extra ignorance.

Like these shitty shirts that people still wear to "appreciate" Kosuke Fukudome:

HAHA IT IS AN ASIAN HARRY CARAY GET IT

Looking forward to the racist white sox version now.

how come they just didn't write on the shirt "hari kari"? Cubs fans wouldn't get the joke despite the oversized glasses?

French presidential candidate shoots a video hanging out with black/arab kids in low-income neighborhoods, sets it to "niggas in paris"

huh.

i wonder how the people in the video feel about it.

they feel fine because they hate sarkozy more than they care about taboo english words

I like the video actually

reaction's been pretty positive, seems like.

comments section here is something to behold

whoa, apparently like every single person in the service industry is a racist :O

lol some of these can't be real

i was a a restaurant recently and a group of blacks was 3 booths away. They were loud, using a lot of profanity. I complained to the manager as I was with my wife and son adn my .357. Rather than saying anything to this pack of baboons he asked if we would be willing to move to another area. I told him directly that I thought he was a coward and we left without accepting our food.

self-perpetuating cycle of racism and resulting poor tipping flagbs

ugh i remember getting a meal with a black friend at a restaurant once and having a truly o_O exchange with our white waiter who eventually informed us (jovially) that "studies have shown" that "slavery wasn't really that bad." she made sure to tip him well because she assumed he would assume she wouldn't. the whole thing was insane and awful, and the worst part was i really think he thought he was being friendly and a li'l irreverent because we were all such pals the whole time.

The patron pointedly mentions owning a .357 because the patron did not do anything differently than the manager in choosing not to speak to the blacks, but owning the .357 innoculates him against being called a coward, too?

but anyway i wondered if that dude groaned when he got black patrons at a table, expecting to be tipped poorly, but then cheerfully launched into his "slavery: no big deal" schtick to try to ingratiate himself nevertheless.

xp I think it's because the .357 is basically a member of his family

his .357 gets really upset at profane language

she made sure to tip him well because she assumed he would assume she wouldn't.

Well. Showed him.

In 50 years there will be NO majority White countries on earth. Yet Africa
has over 50+ all black nations that will stay black. Asia will remain totally
Asian. It is White countries and ONLY White countries that are being flooded
with non-Whites and it is EVERY single White country.

Whites will have gone from almost 30% of the world population in 1900 to
approximately 2-3% by the year 2100, per the UN.

i know; i think she was working from a people can change through encounters with people who are different from them model. i was working from a some people are lost causes model, but i understand her response. like, on top of all this bullshit, i'm not going to let this dude complain about my people and how we tip as soon as i leave.

xp

i half wonder if the service industry is a major racism-development petri dish in the US. one of the places where different groups come in the most direct contact with one another.
