Thats what they say about Christians :2razz:
If by "they", you mean rabid atheist commies, you're probably right, er, I mean, correct.
Why would you value some strangers opinion more than you own anyway?

if everyone calls you ugly... its because your ugly
?
that is what I said
as I age I enjoy the beauty of not caring anything about other people's opinion of me
however when one is younger, it is important to assess the relevance of other's input...that's how we grow, and mature and become "wise"
age has experience to back it up
but that is for another thread
if everyone calls you ugly... its because your ugly
was that supposed to be funny or witty or something?
nope
Then you have no problem with me calling all black people thugs, right?
Or calling all Arabs terrorists?
of course I have a problem with that, because its not true
Are ALL white people racist?
Had no intention of being overly political today, then I saw this posted on Facebook. The question is simple, and for the poll I am going to only provide a 'yes' or 'no' option. If you feel the need for another option then the simplicity of the author's premise went right over your head.
Everyone is invited to partake, of course, but to be honest I don't much care what conservative-leaning people will say. I can pretty much guess that before the thread is even posted. I'm interested in what several white-progressives who seen to see racism in everything will say. Are all white people racist? Are YOU a racist?
Correct! Which is exactly why saying all white people are racist is stupid, because it's not true.
Get it now?
no I still dont get it

Then you're hopeless.

Because there are white people out there that aren't racist.
Ex: Me.
Are you really going to sit here and claim that all members of a certain race are racist? Do you realize how absurd that is?
Rabid atheist commies aren't "everyone".

The only way one can claim all white people are racists is to have no real understanding ofwhat the word "racism" actually means.
It further suggests only white people are racist
To me, the dictionary definition of racism only clouds the issue. Words and phrases evolve, and dictionaries do a reasonable job of keeping up, but popular common usage has moved beyond what the dictionary presently says. People may not be technically correct re their usage of the term, but when we read it in context we generally know what they mean.Good point, I went ahead and looked up the definition.
rac·ism
ˈrāˌsizəm/Submit
noun
the belief that all members of each race possess characteristics or abilities specific to that race, especially so as to distinguish it as inferior or superior to another race or races.
prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against someone of a different race based on the belief that one's own race is superior.
So short answer no.
Long answer people have a long history of disliking/hating other groups based on all kinds of things, culture, religion, country of origin and yes even skin color. IMO Disliking/hating is a far cry from thinking one's race is superior to another race.
Well, it's being portrayed by many (not all) blacks AND whites as solely a white problem. Created solely by whites, solvable solely by whites.Poll: Are ALL Black people intellectually inferior?
ask this question and see how far it goes!
since we seemed to have many polls asking about whites
