Are you racist?

[Hatuey]

Pretty straight forward. I was reading some article about a poll recently carried out in the Canadian province of Quebec. 59% Quebecers admitted to being racist to some degree. The number obviously shocked but it also brought out a few questions. How easy is it to admit that you have acted in a racist manner atleast once in your lifetime? How easy is it to admit that to some degree you might be racist?

59% of Quebecers say they're racist: poll

First you need to give the meaning of a 'racist'.

RACIST: Showing ethnic prejudice.

I am a White Pride Nationalist, but I do not consider myself a racist. I do believe that God's natural order for life on earth did not (nor should it ever) include the mixing of the races in which they were to live together. I often cite examples of segregation in Watts and Harlem as being an indication that shoveling a token WHITE into their living prerogatives would upset the apple cart, let alone the emotional damage done to the unlucky White person.
How much crime and racial tension do you suppose they have in the country of Greenland? What's that I hear....zero! Gee, I wonder why.
We at stormfront.com are planning to find (perhaps a complete state like my home in New Hampshire) as being a future venue for White only living. You can see where I would have a problem living with folks like Tashah that have a dual citizenship. That type of mixing of nationalities is totally unacceptable in my designed world for peace on earth.

What? You lost me chief.

Considering for a minute that Greenland has the diversity of a white wall I dont think it's a good example. I mean obviously a "country" that is 836,109 square miles yet only has around 57,000 people would not be my first choice when looking at any race related issues. Even then 87% of Greenland's population is made up of Greenlandic people. It's a mixture of the Inuit and multiple European races. This would go against your idea that races shouldn't be mixed and would prove that "race mixing" can and does work. So why use this as an example?

You said Stormfront. Why destroy your credibility when you were doing so good. I thought you had a problem with "race" not nationality. I have Canadian citizenship and American citizenship. Do you believe this is unacceptable?

 

[Gardener]

Just how strong a denial can a person offer before they protesteth too much?

Seems to me we are all racist to at least a tiny degree and so it is more a matter of people recognizing their biases and confronting them honestly.

I would say I am not racist to any great degree but nether I am so much a cultural relativist that I compromize my basic values and belief systems. I do not believe all ideologies or cultural practices equally valid, and since the objection to various cultural practices often elicits claims of racism, some people must find it difficult to separate the two.

***Alright, lets take Japan as an example. There is little if no racial tension in that country because the majority of people living there are Japanese.

***Thanks for recognizing that I was doing good. Stormfront is just an added beneficial source to my already well thought out views on racism. Yes, I do believe that your dual citizenship is unacceptable. How does the obvious choice or dilemma of having two nationalities square with your respect and honor for one mother country? Your case reminds me of the millions of legal and illegal Mexicans working in the U.S.--sending monies back to family in Mexico, never learning to speak English, some opting to head back to Mexico once they've made enough money, living off our welfare (tax payers burden), and never really assimilating into the all-American culture or way of life.

***You don't have a problem in knowing whether you're white or black, or in knowing whether you're a man or woman. Why should you or Tashah confuse this dual citizenship with the standards of being a real American? Your waivering prejudice between being a Canadian or an American can be signs of someone having racist ideals.

 

[americanwoman]

absolutely not. I never take race into consideration of a person's character.

 

[Just Me 2]

I think most people at some point have had a racist thought. Whether it be while driving or at the store or watching the news, most have had a raciest thought. You may not realize it or admit it but most have.

Now am I a raciest? Yes I guess I could be considered one. I don't believe that races should mix marriage wise, I don't think having a "token" anything works. I don't agree when kids are bussed to a school solely because someone decided there were to much of one race and I don't think it is a problem that by nature people want and are more comfortable with people of their own race.

Now do I think that people who do marry other races should be treated different? No. Do I think we should consciously segregate people? No

 

[DeeJayH]

I do not believe the overwhelming majority of people can truthfully say they have never had a racist thought or spoke a racist comment, or told a racist joke

even if you exclude childhood

if one does claim not to be racist, they are either a liar, delusional, in denial, or a rare anomaly

 

[Gibberish]

Race has nothing to do with me disliking someone. It's how they treat others and their selves. You can be white, purple, black, brown, orange, or yellow and successfully drive yourself and society down.

I attended K-8 in downtown Long Beach. In my 4th and 5th grade class I was one of three white kids. In 9th grade my family moved to Orange County. My entire highschool had only 3 black kids.

I will admit I have acted racist when I was younger in a stint of hate. I called this one boy a Ni*** but then proceed to play basketball with a dominant black team. It wasn't the person's race that was focus of hate, it was the person themselves. Their race was just an easy out for attack.

 

[rathi]

I never have consciously been racist. However, social conditioning about racial stereotypes is fairly strong, I have made some error's that I didn't notice until later. Genetically speaking, I can say that "races" don't really exist. Culturally though, they are quite strong. Ideally people would realize that race only exists because we make it exist, and simply stop thinking along such simplistic lines.

 

[Navy Pride]

I think to some degree we all have rascist thoughts.............Does that make us a rascist? Who knows........

 

[mikhail]

I wouldnt say im racist to people on an individual basis however its when people get in groups.

I hate the American idea of black culture i just think its bullshit and gives people the idea that its alot different being black than white mentally.I dont really believe in holding on to ones culture how far back do you go?

I believe each country should strive to how one culture obvously slightly differing however i dont believe only white people should live in one place and black in another but i believe you should take the culture of the country your born in above all.Is what i said there racist?

I also think its quite said that society takes racism so seriously not hate crimes and things but the fact that if some celebrity say ****** or something on tv they will be off the air and gone.I like to think maybe some day it wont be so serious.

I dont see how. My dual citizenship is not because I'ved in live in both places it's business related(I have to travel alot because of my job). How do I remind you of an illegal immigrant? I dont work under the table. Unlike yourself. I dont cheat the goverment. Unlike yourself. I speak 3 languages. Unlike you. I dont live off any of the goverment's handouts unlike you. Come to think of it. You probably fit the profile of an illegal alien better then I do.

***You don't have a problem in knowing whether you're white or black, or in knowing whether you're a man or woman.

Actually I use to wonder wether I was black or white(I'm mixed) and then I realize. I'm an American. Doesn't really matter what the color of my skin is.

Why should you or Tashah confuse this dual citizenship with the standards of being a real American?

What are the standards of being a real American? :roll:

Your waivering prejudice between being a Canadian or an American can be signs of someone having racist ideals.

Care to elaborate?

 

[Gibberish]

If It's specific to a race as a whole and not to a specific social group or a specific person then yes it is racist.

Saying gang members bring down society is not racist.

Saying Black people bring down society is racist.

The difference? To a racist, only black people are in gangs so both of those statements are the same. In reality race has nothing to do with gangs. It's education, poverty, and society.

Yes but i think there is certain self fullfilling prophecy to black people and gangs that needs to be changed so whats the answer to that other than changing racial stereotypes which i feel are actually hightening rather than the other way round.

 

[Kandahar]

I agree with those who have said that we all harbor some racist thoughts. I completely support equality for all races and don't dislike any individual because of their race...

But would I feel safer walking at night through a run-down white neighborhood than an equally run-down black neighborhood? Yes. Would I feel more threatened if I was approached by a group of black teenagers than by a group of white teenagers? Yes.

Which are both valid concerns. Just because you may not be racist doesn't mean those around you aren't racist. No one should be ignorant of the fact that racism is alive in America.

[Iriemon]

I admit I am something of a racist. I believe there are general differences between races. Black folks have brown skin, thicker lips and kinky hair. White folks have pasty skin, thin lips and stringy hair. I think the differences may go more than skin deep. Muscular structure and anatomy are generally a little different between the races. White men can't jump. Black women have butts.

It is also possible that there are general differences in mental capability between the races. Some tests on IQ have suggested this, but I don't think it is conclusive.

However, while I believe there are general differences, and maybe I am a racist for ackowledging that, I try not to stereotype individuals of any ethnic group to the characteristics of the groups. Even if on average white is a little smarter than black, there are lots of whites who are idiots and lots of blacks who are brilliant. The real prejudicism IMO is not acknowledging there may be differences between the races but in applying stereotypes and prejudices to the individuals. Every individual regardless of race deserves to be evaluated on his or her own merit.

If you believe there may be general differences between the races, however, that has implications for social policy. Blacks in general lag behind whites in earning power, employment, positions of power, and education. Whether this difference is from historical factors or genetic is immaterial. Unless you think a permanent underclass is a good idea, IMO as a society we should do thing to ensure that members of the underclass have access to the best opportunities in education, to make up for the discrepency, whether it is historically or genetically based.

 

[Thelost1]

Yes, I am a racist. I can run quite quickly sometimes, and though I missed the track tryouts this year due to injury, I am definately going to try again next season.

On a more serious note, I think that all differances between ethnic groups are either superficial or cultural.

Incorrect. Blacks can contract sickle cell anemia whites do not.

 

[Thelost1]

So? Whites get sunburns and skin cancer more easily.

That is what I consider superficial.

 

[DeeJayH]

WRONG

Sickle cell is in many nationalities including African Americans, Africans, Arabs, Greeks,Italians, Latin Americans, and those from India. You can be Caucasian and have sickle cell disease or trait. All races should be screened for this hemoglobin at birth.
