Re: RACE CARD
[QUOTE=DJDIGGLER]
Thanks for clearing up what you meant. I totally agree with you on the naming of certain program or activities that cater to a certain group of people. A race distinction shouldn't be made at all in the name.

Or when you go to a Hooters restaurant with a few friends and you sit down and wait to be waited on for 20 minutes while the people who came in 10 minutes after you already got their drinks what do you call that? How about when you are walking down the side walk and you make eye contact with a white girl and out of politeness you say hi even though she isn't that attractive but she replies "fuck you nigger!" What do you call that? How about when your mom owns a shop in a redneck area which you didn't know had KKK members around and someone comes into the store and breaks something and your mom tells them they must pay for it and they refuse and say "how about I bring my KKK's to kick your ass?" What do you call that? Some of these happened to me this year in 2005 a couple of those incidents were from a few years back. Bottom line is racism still exists and will always exist as long as people look different. Until you are on the other side of the fence don't tell me racism is over with just because it's 2005!
For that comment about BET is segregating itself and should be illegal. Ok make Univision and Telemundo illegal too. Make all magazines which cater to a particular race or ethnicity illegal. As long as everything is fair across the line the there won't be any problems. Get rid of affirmative action, all government programs and take race off of every application. If there is distinction between any race then that is what will cause problems.
The reason why Russians, French Canadians and other people don't play the race card is because you can't tell he's Russian, French or whatever until you talk to him so there isn't a prejudgement made. Plus French, Russian, Hungarian, Spanish are not considered races!!! Here is a link to the 2004 Census which outlines what races are:
Those guys in the video beating up the Asians are the guys that give me and other people like me a bad name. See what happens is that those guys are the ones that never get called nigger or have anything really racist happen to them because they will stay in the ghetto all their lives with people like themselves. It's people like me who is fully integrated with society and behaves like normal people should behave who get called nigger and are prejudged. Those guys from the video are the type of guys who made fun of me while growing up and said I acted "white" because I made straight A's and got honor roll and spoke proper english!

You know to be quite honest you made some very valid points that I agree with. But I don't think you understood some of the things I said so let me try to explain what I meant a different way.
I don't think BET itself should be illegal. I don't think there is any problem with catering to a group of people. Church stations for christians, country music for rednecks (haha had to put that), BET for the black population. The point is there is nothing wrong with their programming. The problem is with the name. BLACK ENTERTAINMENT TELEVISON. If there was any station called WHITE ENTERTAINMENT TELEVISION it would be percieved as a racist station because the title signifies that it is for white people. Get what I'm trying to say? It's not whats in the station but what they named it.
Another example was the BLACK MISS AMERICA. ok if there was ever a competition for just white people then there would be millions of people freaking out. In this case it's not just the name that's bad, but the whole point of that pageant. They are saying it's for black people and only black people. That is bullshit because miss america has white, black, and spanish women so they make it equal. In this case it shouldn't be allowed because if that was White Miss America they would get their asses sued!
As for the comment that you can't tell other nationalities (I said races by accident) apart I disagree. I can totally tell if someone is Russian, Hungarian, or European.
Onto that video my point to posting it was to show the type of scumbags that give good black people a bad name. Trust me I have a lot of friends that are black and they are some of the best, most intelligent people I know, and the best part of all is they don't speak ebonics! I'm sorry but those that strive to sound uneducated just don't get any respect from me.
I think it's crap that people were calling you or any black person a "nigger" because of your skin color. Thats the sort of thing that drives me insane. I want to hit people for calling people a name because of the color of their skin. That just shows how stupid and uneducated the person is to call people shit like that! I don't agree with racism or segregation.
And honestly bro if they called you "white" because you speak well and were getting good grades that's because they are jealous of you. I commend you for having the balls to try to get ahead in life and not be left behind like those clowns.
Funny racism works both ways..........I want to punch people in the mouth for calling good black people "niggers". At the same token I myself will call thug black guys that start trouble for no reason "niggers" just like I'd call a white wannabe a "wigger" or "white trash". To me atleast it's not a phrase to call a majority, but just to call certain people that bring attention to themselves and act like trash.
