HEY, GUY! I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TRYING TO SAY, BUT I THINK THAT WHAT YOU'RE ACTUALLY SAYING MIGHT BE A LOT MORE RACIST THAN YOU THINK.

JUST MY TWO CENTS, THOUGH! HAPPY MLK DAY!

I agree. This kind of thinking falls in line with the closet racists who say things like "Well, you know, there are black people, but THEN there are niggers, too. There's a difference."

If someone says things like "Well, you know, there are black people, but THEN there are niggers, too. There's a difference," they went from being a closet racist to a very open racist.

I understand the logic behind the statement, but it is racist. I prefer the term "trashy". If you strip the color away and take a step back, whatever behavior you may hate about a "nigger", you probably hate if it presents itself in any race of person.

I despise that kind of thinking, but I do see the message in OP's picture. Somewhere along the lines of time, some of us strayed from the path and now we've got that. I guess that can be said about any race, religion or group, though. It's still sad that people don't see the big picture and refuse to join together in unity to make a better world for everyone and everything.

I just bought a book by MLK that talked about where the Negro would go now that a sad chapter on American history had reached its end. The problem is that the black community noticed these problems in KING's lifetime. From what I've read (the intro, Coretta Scott King's preface, and Chapter 1) was that the movement got everyone to realize violence against blacks and dehumanization was wrong, but it failed in the task of bringing up the black community (although MLK dedicated his devotion to ALL poor) economically. King actually began to turn his attention North to bring light to squalor and segregation in places like Chicago.

I think although MLK would bring up bad choices and the like, he would overwhelmingly be concerned with programs to help the poor and provide them better choices so that living in the hood isn't something you are damned to do and to promote social mobility.

In short, MLK would consider the socioeconomic plight largely a consequence of lacking socialist infrastructure (although King distanced himself from Marxism-- given McCarthyism would have been in the minds of just about every voting aged person then).

[–]BZenMojo 13 points14 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Because the equivalent term for poor white people is to add "trash" to the end of their race while for poor black people you use the most offensive term ever invented to refer to a race in the English language.

No false equivalency here.

I know the reference but there are people who see no problem with joking about people dying and Top Gear's jokes (although Top Gear never wishes that people get hurt so you can't compare the two really).

I'm an avid Top Gear fan, so I obviously don't have a huge problem with Clarkson's humor even if he offends me on occasion. But you can't deny he makes jokes about people getting hurt. I can't believe you forgot about that one, it was widely reported.

[–]rockidol 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I thought we were just talking about the show itself.

BTW: I know it still qualifies as him joking about people getting hurt but right after the clip you can hear him say that's not his opinion (they were talking over him a bit so you gotta listen for it) and he was just giving two views for them.

I read through all these comments and was not surprised at the content. Lots of finger pointing. As a 30 year old white male from Texas I've seen plenty of racism from black and white. When you really get down to the bottom of it all, race really doesn't have as much to do with it as you may think. A person is either a shithead or they aren't. Pretty simple.

And then there was Neil DeGrasse Tyson and Barack Obama who are living the dream right now, but I get what you're saying. Black people then and now were called "niggers" by asshole bigots who wanted to hurt or kill them, and now some call each other "nigger" and think of the ghetto lifestyle as the epitome of black culture (which I think is pissing on MLK's grave IMO), but not all black people are like that. Not even most black people are like that.

That being said, can you guys please stop downvoting everyone in this thread who is trying to have a discussion about race and calling "racist" any time some people are cast in a less-than-favorable light? It's not racist to talk about it.

[–]gesucazzo 13 points14 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

The point is the OP pic only presents that one, negative side.

He's implying that even given Tyson and Obama, MLK's Dream is still lost because of a few kids in du-rags, which is a shitty, ignorant thing to say.

[–]BZenMojo 6 points7 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Well played, karma-scalper. Say something reasonable, then pretend that the people getting downvoted are concerned citizens engaged in serious discussion instead of assholes spilling shit like broken plumbing.

That way you can get karma from both the righteous indignation crowd and the ignorant assholes you are inadvertently defending without singling them out individually.

So clever it just might work.

Yep. I'm of the opinion that all cultures should be open to ridicule and we should all be able to have frank discussions about them. Call me crazy but there is definitely a non-trivial segment of inner city black culture that is pretty screwy and unless we can have frank discussions about this its going to be difficult to fix.

[–]BZenMojo 27 points28 points ago

You know. Frank discussion, people!

[–]TheCaterpillar 0 points1 point ago

I never said we shouldn't discuss those other things and they do get discussed. If we ridiculed some poor white trash guy wearing a confederate flag shirt reddit would have no issue, but that guy is fighting his own social battle as well. Or what about somebody who was brainwashed into be hyperreligious, its perfectly okay to make fun of them even though they are being used. So why can't we make fun of these guys?

[–]GrumpyOldSatyr 1 point2 points ago

What is? That a man had to fight for his races rights after several hundred years of oppression? Yes, it's extremely sad it took one of the greatest people in the world's history to stand up for the basic human rights of his people.

Or did you mean it's sad that not every African-American has lived up to the image of Dr. King? If so, then your comment is just as racist as this picture. Dr. King did not give his life so that every African-American can become a model citizen, he gave his life in hopes that one day African-Americans will be equal to all other races.

edit: If anyone is interested, the commenter above me said "It's sad, really."

the only thing sad about this post (besides how sad the post is) is the fact that this is a repost.

You know what causes racism? Acknowledging differences between people. Everyone who is flipping the fuck out, are nothing but racists. It's no different than a redneck joke, which nobody ever seems to get defensive over. "Oh, how dare you use that redneck joke, you disgusting racist bigot!." Learn to laugh a little, don't create the mental differences in your mind between people. I mean, in my honest opinion, I feel like there's no reason to get pissed at someone for having a better tan than you.

Where I live, this is more a statement about class than race. People in our community don't want to be associated with the 'gangsta' class anymore than white people want to be associated with the 'white supremacy' class.

Unfortunately, there are both violent gangs and the Klan existing in the same county - and people do tend to polarize more here as a result. They are the extremes of the spectrum and no one I know personally wants to be on either extreme end of that spectrum and even within their own races - look at examples of those extremes with dismay and contempt.

Of course, it does still get touchy when one group makes judgement calls about a subset of the other. I can see why Chris Rock 'took back' the joke.
