Racism

[4abudabit]

Why are people so obsessed with racism? Enough already, cry on someone else's shoulder. Seriously, everytime someone says "he's a racist", "she's a racist", "you're a racist" - I don't care. If I actually am racist then I shouldn't have to change my beliefs to appeal to your sensibilities, and if I'm not racist then you're just being a whiny

I made a racist comment, as well as some anti gun comments when I got mugged by a black guy at an ATM machine at gunpoint. I got over both those feelings. You never really know what factors have come into play to make a person say or think what they do.

ok, and the next level of consciousness is reverse racism, then beyond that humanism! what about illegal aliens? do they have inalienable rights? they don't have to live like refugees... tom petty

We got somethin' we both know it
We don't talk too much about it
Yeah it ain't no real big secret all the same
Somehow we get around it
Listen it don't really matter to me baby
You believe what you want to believe
You see you don't have to live like a refugee ~ tom petty

why can't we just learn to get along?

i can't get behind that ~ william shatner

BILL: I can't get behind the Gods, who are more vengeful, angry, and dangerous if you don't believe in them!
ROLLINS: Why can't all these Gods just get along? I mean, they're omnipotent and omnipresent, what's the problem?
BILL: What's the problem?
BILL: What about the men who say 'Do as I do. Believe in what I say, for your own good, or I'll kill you!' I can't get behind that!

The biggest fault I see here is that racism respresents a loss of your civil liberties due to discrimination because of your race -- one begets the other. Certainly, if a person wants to be racist they have that right, but at what point does that person's right to be racist begin to impose itself on the rights of others to not be discriminated against
