Hi. Thought I'd chime in with some Penn and Teller videos. I'm white so people will ignore me if I talk about how racist American colleges are. But listen to the words of the black guy in this video.

http://www.veoh.com/browse/videos/category/educational/watch/v1112248bREQ2h9t

Edit: apparently Veoh doesn't imbed on this forum?

And let's toss more heat on the flame. Reparations baby.

Even though this Proleague bullshit has been completely bogus, I really, really, really do not see how Khan can lose this. I swear I will kill myself if they do. - nesix before KHAN lost to eNature

I missed it too. Thanks for quoting it.

And we don't even really have an advantage in getting into college. A black person who works hard in high school to get good grades (at least a 3.5 out of 4.0 average) and does even moderately well on the SAT (1300 out of 1600 -- what's that equivalent to these days? Maybe 1950 out of 2400?) can basically pick and choose what school he wants.

There was a big stink about a decade ago because a white person lied on their application and said they were black and got into a school above his level (based on GPA/SAT). When the school administration found out, he was summarily expelled.



I'm not going to lie and say black people have everything easy. There are parts of this country where black people receive a great deal of animosity and inner cities are known for their terrible management. But those parts of the country that are racist against blacks are not places you will ever have to go unless you want to and those same inner cities that are poorly run with high crime rates and bad schools very often have a black mayor.

I think everyone is racist until they realize that belonging to a "race" (i don´t think this term is correct when applied to humans, biologically speaking) doesn´t have anything to do with your capacities, aptitudes, social behavior, beliefs, etc. I can´t think of any reason that can logically lead you to dislike or hate a "race" in general. The word Hate as a feeling is something subjective and i don´t think it means the same thing for everyone, it´s like the reaction you have in front of something you really dislike or disagree with, but don´t make things more complicated.
Back on topic, i find Culture to be something different. You can like or dislike a culture and agree or disagree with one or all of their attitudes, beliefs, etc.
A few centuries ago, in most of the european cultures, african black people wasn´t considered to be humans and they were treated as animals and property; in this case african people had legitimate reasons to dislike europeans, and i think that in this case hate can be justified. But now, if u think about this last sentence the term -europeans- is a generalization (there probably were europeans that considered black people to be equals), and hating every single european in that case is not justified.
It is always easier to make generalizations, but it is impossible to accurately judge people without actually knowing them. You need to know someone before you say something about them, because you need information to extract conclusions from. First impressions usually lead us to wrong guesses, i think we all have experienced that.
That´s why i find racism, ethnicism, classism, etc. to be wrong, illogical and unpractical.

I wish i could express myself better, but english is not my first lenguage and i´m a little bit tired now...

Just from my point of view of being an asian in America, I have observed that black people are more racist than white people (based on the people I have encountered).

A lot of the disagreements here stem from a slightly deceptive issue of semantics. I think there is a lot of truth to the sentiment that only those in power can commit racism, and it should be considered a bit more deeply than some people in this tread seem to be mistakenly doing. I think it's important to define what racism really is. For instance, does the word describe the simple act of discriminating against someone based on their ethnicity, if so, then it's clear that anyone can be racist. A group of black Americans can be said to be committing racism by discriminating against a white guy for being white. I think this is the definition of racism that at least some of the people arguing against the girl have been using, but I don't think this is the definition of racism that she, or her instructor, had intended to use. Indeed, I don't think fully accounts for what the word has come to mean. In our culture, a black person discriminating against a white person for his race, is different than a white person doing the same to him--even if, for instance, he doesn't hire him because he's white. A black person's racial discrimination simply doesn't carry the same weight. It goes deeper than just one person's overt display of racial discrimination, and I hope we can all agree on that--if not, you need to think about this more. It's not simply a word that plainly deals with racial discrimination from one person to the next, but it's a word that describes a very distinct experience that deals with society at large. While your professor was right in one sense, that anyone can commit racism to another person, he largely missed the point of what being racist really means in this culture. His was a case of a man pointing out the obvious, and failing to exercise some sensitivity to an issue that is still very real.

the (masculine) adjective meaning "black" in Latin is "niger"

So what? It's still a derogatory term.

Don't agree with the girl. Nobody should be racist, saying only white can be racist is racism in itself

Well it certainly seems that white people are the only people who get in shit for being racist. At least you know you see all these comedians who use racist jokes and they're all not white, because if a white guy tries to pull stuff like that it just doesn't go over well.

Actually, I think there is one thing you can call a white male to "hurt his feelings" - racist (or maybe sexist, I dunno, probably not so much tho).

Anyway, I've seen that vid before and it's good For my future childrens sake tho, I hope we'll be a more enlightened bunch as a race (human race, thank you) by the time the "white man falls from grace".

The OP mentions that the girl is referring to the U.S.

I generally avoid arguing race now, because very few people can do it in respectful and open-minded way, often taking things to heart which just turns in to a pathetic insult contest.

I'm starting to hope that in about 100 years when peoples races are so mixed, even more so than now; that racism won't exsist anymore, because a 100% pure race and national person won't exist anymore. Meh, I can dream can't I?

It's a stupid thing that's being perpetuated by a lot of professors in minority studies. My teacher (who was generally pretty intelligent besides stupid shit like that) said the same thing and I challenged her every step of the way. People supporting it can say it all they want, but the bottom line is that it doesn't match up with the accepted definition of racism.

I mean, as a rule of thumb, whites will often be the ones in position to put minorities on a lower power level (but if you use your head, there's obvious ways this can be broken, but it's more like exceptions to the rule). It's really an issue of semantics.
