Black and Asian men charged with hate crime in beating of white teen - Polidicks

[QUOTE=ZekeTwo;25034036]Me too! Let's put our differences aside for a moment and go cut the funding to some predominantly-black public housing projects like all white men have the ability to do.[/QUOTE] Good to see us white folk doing whats right.

I think the justice system needs to be changed, knowing these kids are going to jail for a short time is not near enough consolidation for the scarrs he will live with for the rest of his life.

Racism is a weapon of mass destruction.

[QUOTE=Handsome;25032981]Go study American History and the Atlantic Slave Trade, 1950's Southern Segregation, Jim Crow Laws, etc. again my point, i agree.[/QUOTE] Should I beat up a random German guy because his grandfather may or may not have shot at my grandfather in WWII?

Reverse racism? That's not something you see on the news everyday.

Serious question here, Black people always complain of racism towards them. Me for one am not racist at all, may crack a joke with a black friend but thats about it. They always bitch about racism, but who the hell has a black channel on TV? BET If we had a white TV channel it would be an absolute shitstorm. And don't say we have CMT because thats a load of horshit. Only pussies that love people bitching watch CMT. [highlight](User was banned for this post ("Racism" - TH89))[/highlight]

There are already tons of channels targeted primarily at white people, albeit not explicitly. [editline]10:15AM[/editline] You could say the same thing about Christian TV. We have tons of Christian TV channels, but if a group of Muslims tried to start a Muslim TV channel, there'd be a shitstorm. There's nothing racist about targeting a TV channel towards black people; whites and others aren't excluded from watching it, just as men aren't excluded from watching TV channels targeted towards women.

Garry needs to make it so everytime TH89 makes a racism ban he gets banned himself.

There is no such thing as racism.

[QUOTE=Doriol;25040459]also TH89 I have to wonder if you have you own definition of racism because that ban was bullshit. that was racial, not racist[/QUOTE] The idea that all black people act the same, and furthermore the implication that they are somehow collectively responsible for BET, being black and all, and that a black person's experience with discrimination is somehow diminished by a TV channel he or she has nothing to do with (except being black) is fairly racist, as is the idea that knowing a black person gives one a free pass to make blanket judgements about "black people" on the Internet (one wonders why he doesn't ask his black friend these questions). All of this falls well within the pretty well-accepted definition of racism: the idea that race is a determinant of demeanor, abilities, behavioral tendencies, etc. If someone came in here and started posting shit like "white people always act racist" you guys would be clamoring for a ban (I know this from experience). That said, I don't think he was trying to be hostile, so I only have him 3 days and was probably going to reduce/unban anyway. Your hero Lankist would be backing me up if he weren't permabanned for racism :riker:

[QUOTE=Doriol;25040459]reverse racism doesn't exist you watch fox news too much [/QUOTE] Watch fox news? I don't live in america.

[QUOTE=johan_sm;25041287]Watch fox news?

I really don't think you should base your bans on a flawed definition just because it's widely accepted but whatever bro 4/20 smoke weed errday

Hey guys I got an idea, us christians should sue italy for tying christians to lightposts and setting them on fire back before rome adopted christianity. great idea right?

I'm pretty happy that I've never been beat up, I feel pretty good about that right now.

[QUOTE=Doriol;25041318]that's called being racial. I really don't think you should base your bans on a flawed definition just because it's widely accepted[/QUOTE] Wait, a minute ago you were accusing me of having my "own definition" of racism. Now you're saying the dictionary definition is flawed and demanding that I use yours instead.

[QUOTE=Doriol;25042468]dictionaries include definitions that are in wide use doesn't mean they're right[/QUOTE] No...it does

[quote]Nice to see that hate crime laws are being applied equally, contrary to what a lot of people say.[/QUOTE] More like, about time they start being applied equally.

Or not at all

[QUOTE=Tetracycline;25042514]No...it does[/QUOTE] so if people used "racism" to mean "strawberries" and it got into a dictionary, it would be correct okay

[QUOTE=Doriol;25042565]so if people used "racism" to mean "strawberries" and it got into a dictionary, it would be correct okay[/QUOTE] If it somehow got into the dictionary I guess so

[QUOTE=lockdown6;25032313]oh and correction, let's beat the crap out of this kid because of something some other people did a long time ago[/QUOTE] I just realised how stupid that logic is. Let's go bomb Germany again while we're at it.

I bet the kid is racist now.

[QUOTE=Doriol;25042468]dictionaries include definitions that are in wide use doesn't mean they're right[/QUOTE] Somehow I doubt you'd want me to go by the sociological definition. It's quite a bit broader.

[QUOTE=TH89;25042815]Somehow I doubt you'd want me to go by the sociological definition. It's quite a bit broader.[/QUOTE] Really? That's fascinating. Would you like to hear another definition?

[QUOTE=Doriol;25042565]so if people used "racism" to mean "strawberries" and it got into a dictionary, it would be correct okay[/QUOTE] If a strong (>90%) majority did and the dictionary was just documenting this, then yes, it would be correct. Language is mutable. The only place this doesn't really work is the grammar of a constructed language, but even in those there is some pliability.
