Thread Civil Rights Act

[OzSTEEZ]

I disagree. Being Hispanic, I hear all the time what people say towards whites. Espescially when whites are in Mexican restaurants. It's amazing the amount of shit I hear because they don't realize I can speak Spanish.

Also, you're saying racism has decreased. I'm disagreeing because I also get to hear the racism towards blacks AND whites from Hispanics. I get to experience the racism towards Hispanics from whites AND blacks. It's all there. Just not as visible as the policing of it in terms of crimes is more swift and easily caught.

OMG! THey say bad things? WOW! That's terrible!






Saying racist things isn't a crime. Holding someone back from a job, renting a house, playing in a sports team, etc, because of their race is real racism. You can hate white people all day long, yet if you never hold a white person back, then who cares?

It's pretty obvious he misunderstood what I said.

I am confused why you would make a statement like that when there is no purpose to it. The amount of violence toward a group is irrelevant.

 

[OzSTEEZ]

Then prove to me that the amount of racism whites receive today is dwarfed by the amount of racism received by other races.

BAAAHAHA!!

And you guys call me a hippie..

Unhealthy hate? I don't see it that way at all. I'm not plotting violence or any kind of sabotage towards the US. I just simply want to leave and never come back. Right now, as you are fully aware of, I'm kind of stuck given my current situation.

My hate for America is not making me want to give up my family to get out of here.

Unhealthy hate? Nope.

I'm a total hippie, but hate and negativity are things I prefer not to have in my daily life. Your hate for america consumes your posts here.

In before zengirl comes in and talks about white people not getting jobs they're qualified for simply due to affirmitive action.

BAAAHAHA!!

That isn't proof.

 

[dbzeag]

I don't know. Dbzeag tends to be fairly self-depricating a lot.

But I am getting better (at least I think so).

Reverse racism? Cry my a river...

There's no such thing as "Reverse racism". Racism is the same regardless of who its coming from.

And who's ready to join fly, april, coqui, and chikken and turn this country back in time to the racist cesspool it once was?

I think this would have happened anyway, and if done organically probably would have been much more effective and a lot less angst from people negatively affected by the CRA.

Again, Australia didn't have a Civil Rights Act did it? I assume it isn't a racist cesspool...

Not really.. You only focus on those posts.

Affirmative action is a load of bullshit. But the amount of reverse racism, even due to affirmative action, still does not come close to that minorities receive in this country.

They do have some acts in place.

I'm not justifying anything..

Right now as we sit here chatting, there is probably more than twice as much racism being received by black than whites. Same for asians, and definitely latinos.

right, because latinos don't have as much racism against whites. right.

"twice as much"


how exactly do you quantify racism?

 

[OzSTEEZ]

That isn't proof.

I know.. If you seriously disagree, and thus why you need proof, then I'm fucking laughing my god damn fucking ass off at you..

really? lol

It's just a label that people use to help people understand what they are talking about.

the most racist thing I've heard in a mexican restaurant was in regards to seeing a "white" guy (yours truly) with a black girl.

fortunately those flautas were too delicious to ignore so I didn't really care

It's every other post, how can I not?

I will give you a hundred dollars if you can reliably quantify said amounts of racism and support in any way that it "does not come close".

Australia is different. I'm not just saying that. It is different.

We have much less people than you guys. We never had slavery unless you count the convicts as slaves, but even then that doesn't include racism.

We've had problems with the Abo's, and we are still working to correct those problems. We never had problems like there was over here, and thus never needed a huge movement like there was here.

Australians are racist. Lookup Cronulla riots.. That was only a few years ago..
