Is one Racist?

IS ONE RACIST?

To Black Guys...

That black boy has some hops!
Check out those black legs move!
Damn, that black guy can hit a tennis ball…
Boy, that black dude can run!


To White Guys...
Boy, that white dude can shoot…
That is a serious white boy…
Look at the white legs move!
Damn, that white boy can jump!




So? Is one racist? Both racist? Neither racist?

Would he ones to Black Guys been racist if I did not add the ones to the White Guys?

Another one? Jeez, show some self-respect. :roll:

This is actually one that I got to thinking about due to Sports Center... a white NFL player was running and a black guy yelled, "look at those white legs move!". What if a white guy yelled that to a black guy? I played a ton of sports and would never have thought to talk about the color of a guys legs or body... nobody I knew ever did that. IF people think it is racist to say it to a black guy then why is it OK to say it to a white guy? Why is that not an honest question?

Because it's coming from you, mere minutes after you posted this slop: Sincere Apology to BLM and Oppressed People's

That is just a coincidence... I tend to think of things in waves then I sit around in a blank stupor for a long stretch.

None of those statements is "racist."

They are just generalizations. And I personally believe in generalizations.


"Asians are good students." That is a positive generalization.

Of course, I could list some negative generalizations, but I had better not.

P.S. New Zealand is a really nice and orderly and happy society. That is the generalization that I have of your country. I really like Bic Runga.

We are happy...

Teasing is not nice.
