Minnesota School Faces Lawsuit Over Racist 'Wigger Day'
113 replies, posted
[QUOTE=Alan Ninja!;31541159]As much as I like the idea itself (I hate 'gangsta' bullshit-PULL UP YOUR PANTS AND USE YOUR GOD DAMN BRAIN CELLS), calling it 'Wigga Day' is an unbelieveably bad plan. It's like they're asking for a butthurt lawsuit. If they had come up with a non-racial name (*cough*GangsterDay*cough*) there wouldn't be a problem here.

And that is my two-cents worth.[/QUOTE]
Somebody would still make a problem out of it. Never overestimate the intelligence of your fellow man.
Wigger day should be a national holiday.
[QUOTE=thisispain;31540824]
your views are just awful and i find it weird that you make the white male perspective when there are plenty of white males that don't agree, me being one.

Thank you for pointing this out.

[QUOTE=JumpinJackFlash;31540451]I'm going to reply to just you because, well, you've probably summed up what a lot of people were thinking when they read that. Basically, from my white, male perspective, it gets really tiring to hear [i]every single possible thing[/i] get turned into a race issue by angry minorities. Why are they angry?

The amount of unchecked white privilege in this post astounds.

because race issues are still abundant
Although people do play the race card, it's important to remember that a lot of times people DON'T and they become seriously offended by comments or jokes.
Especially in other areas, like the town in the news post, where the school obviously isn't trying hard enough to encourage diversity.
Time for MINSTREL DAY
African American culture =/= ghetto gangbangers. That statement was an insult towards black people imo.

[QUOTE=devotchkade;31545225]The amount of unchecked white privilege in this post astounds.[/QUOTE]Please clarify, because I honestly don't know what you're talking about.[QUOTE=TheHydra;31545627]because race issues are still abundant[/QUOTE]I agree, and that's serious. Don't get me wrong, I don't support discrimination in any way for a multitude of reasons. However, making things that really have nothing to do with race into a race issue minimizes and belittles actual race issues. Then people get jaded, like I am and then we find ourselves on a slippery slope backward, erasing any progress that has been made.[QUOTE=Reimu;31545879]Although people do play the race card, it's important to remember that a lot of times people DON'T and they become seriously offended by comments or jokes.

I get offended at least twenty times a day, mostly because I'm a grouchy asshole and find fault in everything but that's my own problem and neither here nor there. I keep quiet about it, it's none of my business and I keep to myself.
Also, how the hell do you encourage diversity in a backwater rural town? I think the whole concept of "encouraging diversity" is flawed and stupid. Putting a quota on people is ridiculous, especially minorities because the concept itself is vehemently racist and we don't need any more of that shit. "Oh, we're running low on Asians! Better go pick up some more, we don't want to have a shortage! Oh dear, we're also out of Latinos too, son of a bitch!" Let people live, work and socialize wherever the hell they want.
A thread about racism and rap? TH89 must be sleeping right now.
"Wigger is a pejorative slang term for a white person who emulates the mannerisms, language and fashions associated with African-American culture"
Black culture?
no wigger is when you act like a gigantic douchebag that thinks he fits in with black people as 'one of them' but really doesn't and annoys the fuck out of them as a result.

Where I used to live, 'Wiggers' were some of the most popular people around, although I lived in a ghetto at that time.

Where I live, wiggers, black gangsters, and rednecks of all races are the majority. Then again, I live in the South.
What can you do? :v:

I've called a cracka, along with many other anti-White terms.
By the same person. Who wasn't african american (still 'black' though). And no feelings were hurt, on either side.

First off, the idea is more-so that you encourage accepting diversity and tolerance of others, not so much affirmative action. I actually have a family friend acting as a mission pastor in Virginia for our Church, and through him - and various other tidbits - was how I really found out how strong racism still exists in areas like the South. It's really hard to chip at it unless you have a lot of power, because if you try to pry at it too hard you can start to drive people away or even bring some unwanted attention to yourself.
The best way to spread diversity is to open others' horizons culturally and put them in a situation where they're with people that aren't like them at all. That's usually best left to college, and is one of the reasons why affirmative action is really popular (among many).

I don't know why that made me laugh so much
[QUOTE=Ninja Duck;31529468]Those people complaining sound pretty racist to me. Not all black people dress like gangsters.[/QUOTE]
Wiggers dress like gangsters, not like black people in general. That definition's wrong.
I want to see who cried
