In an instructional setting where you are responsible for children, you have the right to require ALL of them to wear sunscreen for their own protection. The kid was ignorant about the fact that he can still get sunburns and skin cancer. Also, @News, race DOES determine many human traits and abilities. Biologically. Society may claim differently because people are unwilling to hear the truth right now, but that doesn't make your argument any more true from a scientific standpoint. Some day we will learn to celebrate the unique advantages that people of different racial backgrounds have, but for now we (in America) are stuck claiming that every race is exactly the same, as society's rebound reaction to slavery. You do know that the vast majority of scientists now say that there is no biological reality to race right? Outside of a few odds and ends that have some geographic groups with higher percentages of certain things race is purely a cultural construct. | ||

Does that mean stating that blacks are 1/2 as likely as whites to finish a 4 year college education is racist (it's a fact btw, from NPR). I mean, I think people are being way too politically correct here. These statistical statements don't give explanations; they're just observations. It's not saying blacks are genetically inferior or bullshit like that; it's saying here's our current situation, and that is all | ||

Although this is a horrible analogy, Are you going to treat the President or Prime Minister of your country the same as some homeless man? You should, but most people wont. However, the op sounds ridiculous with his comments of "I try not to be racist" what the hell? Why do you have to try to not be racist? You shouldn't have to be taught to not be racist as it is unhealthy attitude and makes you sound like a bigot. It basically sounds like you were trying to take extra precautions since your friend got fired for working at KFC and doing something stupid. To my point, As a black person, I don't understand why Whites or anyone for that matter allows themselves to be so easily pushed over by people who play the race card. There have been a few cases I've seen here in Canada where people play the race card and get away with it for bullshit. It honestly makes the rest of us blacks who actually want to live a good life and be functioning citizens of society look like assholes who play the race card to get whatever they want. Show no tolerance for people who play the race card for stupid reasons just as how you would show no tolerance for those who make racist remarks. Those people are just as bad. P.S. I never wear sun cream and i'm brown as hell. | ||
