[QUOTE=sloppy_joes;24454729]However, if they are happy being stupid, let them be stupid. As long as they support themselves and no one is suffering, who is to say, for example, that Amish people are lesser people than someone that spends 24 hours a day on WoW? Besides, I have no problem with fat people, let people live their lives as they want to live them. People who assume they are the best are either arrogant, ignorant or both.[/QUOTE] Right, so are you better than a non-aggressive racist?

[QUOTE=o0ICE0o;24454961]What our ancestors did has absolutely nothing to do with us. Don't try to use that as a point.[/QUOTE] Not talking about your ancestors. Your ancestors aren't turning minorities down for job interviews because they're "not the right type of people."
[QUOTE=ze spy;24454944]No, I don't, I've lived around both my entire life, they're nice people, but you just can't deny that they commit more crimes, maybe it is the white man's fault I just don't know.[/QUOTE] White people are the reason for the majority of the problems in the world, it's just how it is. We colonized Africa and fucked it up in so many ways, we colonized America and killed natives en masse, as well as deforested huge amounts of land and nearly extincting several species. Among other atrocities, such as the nuclear age.
TH89 what are you doing bro?
[QUOTE=Lenni;24454964]Right, so are you better than a non-aggressive racist? [/QUOTE] Nope, who said that. I'm just tolerant.
[QUOTE=o0ICE0o;24454961]What our ancestors did has absolutely nothing to do with us. Don't try to use that as a point.[/QUOTE] Ancestors? It's only in the second half of the last century that racial segregation was outlawed. This shit's recent.
[QUOTE=ze spy;24454907]Facepunch isn't anti-black in any way, it's just it is a fucking [i]fact[/i] that minorities like Hispanics and Blacks are more likely to commit crimes[/QUOTE] What you did there is turn correlation into causation. Perhaps it's poor people that are more likely to commit crimes and minorities are more likely to be poor. If you accept that, now you have to explore why minorities are poorer.
[QUOTE=o0ICE0o;24454961]What our ancestors did has absolutely nothing to do with us. Don't try to use that as a point.[/QUOTE] Yes they did. Israel vs Palestine, you think that problem was started this generation, or is that the result of generations of deeply embedded hatred for the other?

Many black people probably worked to deforest land, Asians too.
[QUOTE=Jawalt;24452366]I'm sorry, but I don't know how it's racist to not call "Sashaquehanna" back in for an interview. I wouldn't call a white man named "Rumplestiltskin" back in either.[/QUOTE] yeah everyone knows those fucking fairy book characters are lazy criminals the big bad wolf works at least two jobs though, good man. a bit of an over eater.

The end of it all is that black people would do the exact same thing in our situation, as would any person. People are bastards.
Also, your ancestors have accumulated large amounts of [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_capital]social capital[/url] and [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cultural_capital]cultural capital[/url] that they have passed on to you, and which give you a big advantage over most minorities.
Racism will be extinct sooner or later. Look at the United states a hundred years ago compared to today, the difference is fucking huge. In another 100 years all this discrimination bullshit will be done with (hopefully).
[QUOTE=Mr_Razzums;24455104]Racism will be extinct sooner or later.[/QUOTE] It will happen the moment the second-last human dies.

[QUOTE=ZekeTwo;24455115]It will happen the moment the second-last human dies.[/QUOTE] Doubt it.

[QUOTE=Mr_Razzums;24455104]Racism will be extinct sooner or later.[/QUOTE] people will always need scapegoats to blame for problems and even if we lived in a world without problems other people would create them
[QUOTE=TH89;24455127]"Black people work hard in order to succeed in life, they follow laws and try hard in school. Yea fucking right." -Mr_Razzums AN ENIGMA[/QUOTE] TH89 officially keeps logs of all his bans.
[QUOTE=ROFLBURGER;24455137]Th89 is white, from what I've heard.[/QUOTE] he is, but that's not relevant to the thread at all
[QUOTE=ze spy;24455074]wat, the Nuclear age was a GOOD thing, but why should I be concerned over something my race did over a hundred years ago? Many black people probably worked to deforest land, Asians too.[/QUOTE] Nuclear age is both good and bad, the start of the nuclear age was hundreds of thousands of Japanese being obliterated.
[QUOTE=Mr_Razzums;24455154]TH89 officially keeps logs of all his bans.[/QUOTE] no fp does
[QUOTE=Mr. Scorpio;24455075] yeah broseph, thats because we got the tech first. The end of it all is that black people would do the exact same thing in our situation, as would any person.

Funfact: Facepunch fucking hates me. :dance:
[QUOTE=sloppy_joes;24455163]Nuclear age is both good and bad, the start of the nuclear age was hundreds of thousands of Japanese being obliterated.[/QUOTE] the nuclear age wasn't good or bad how long will you people insist on forcing moral value onto something that is inherently morally ambiguous the nuclear age was another step forward in collective knowledge. we still did the same shit we always did.
[QUOTE=Mr_Razzums;24455154]TH89 officially keeps logs of all his bans.[/QUOTE] 20 Months ago * TH89 banned Mr_Razzums for 7 Days in this thread with the reason “"black people work hard in order to succeed in life, they follow laws and try hard in school.

[QUOTE=sloppy_joes;24455181]You say "we got the tech first" like you had some kind of hand in it. Besides, as you said, people are bastards dude.[/QUOTE] it's not like i give a damn. the fuckin moon men could have gotten the tech first for all i care, all that matters is that someone was bound to get it and they were bound to be dicks with it.
[QUOTE=Mr. Scorpio;24455200]the nuclear age wasn't good or bad how long will you people insist on forcing moral value onto something that is inherently morally ambiguous the nuclear age was another step forward in collective knowledge. we still did the same shit we always did.[/QUOTE] Okay, but some advancements are mostly used for good, and some are mostly used for bad. Penicillin and Insulin, not killing anyone anytime soon. Napalm, mustard gas, and chlorine gas, not really helping humanity, but still a step forward. as you said.
