Racism - Mindset - 02-10-2013
People can be so ignorant on the real definition of racism. Just because you say that a guy is black, does not mean you're being racist. The real definition of racism is when you believe your race is superior to all other races, or when you don't approve of interracial couples and forbid your child to date anyone of another race. It pisses me off as to how many people just flaunt the word for no reason.

While I agree with you on some parts, racism is not only believing your race is superior to ALL others.

In my opinion, today's racism is nothing like it once was... I agree, calling someone "black" is NOT racist. Actually, most of my black friends prefer to be called black BECAUSE THEIR NOT AFRICAN....In fact, I'm closer to being African than my 'African-American' friends are! (I was born in Israel (Technically Asia-Minor but its on the border of Africa).

You are right on that, my friend. My bad.

Exactly what I'm saying. There's a lot of people I know who jump to the conclusion that I'm being "racist" because I am calling them black.

Somebody being offended by being called black is clearly racist against themselves, as they take it as an insult. Fuck it's hard to not be racist.

But you're funny when you're racist.

I have a black brother, so I hate it when people are racist to him or look at him funny.. Overall black people are very nice and hard working.
RE: Racism - Bane - 02-11-2013
I hate when black people hangout with my group of friends cause it takes out half of our jokes to say. Also half of our vocabulary gets affected as well.
