Then stop the people of your race? What kind of moronic statement is that? I'll get right on it boss! We be good nigga's and tell da rest of dem darkies; massa Oscar said to be good!
So blacks are lazy and like to steal? That is also a stereotype like Mexican's being lazy? The problem is you are confusing racial issues for things that are cultural. Your watermelon and fried chicken for examples. Most Southerners like it as well. Has nothing at all to do with race. Far to many come from antiquated bigotry that people like you obviously cling to....
Amen. I was going to literally say everything you did including the Southern food stuff, but I didn't have the patience and just went with, "this is stupid."
The only time I see someone on the right calling someone here on the left a "racist" is in response to being dogged for days by the left leaning poster that the other is a racist....
He does. He's said it enough times to make it clear he does.I really think he believes that crap. I think that scares me the most. So much for individual freedom.

It's one thing to argue that people should be responsible for themselves and not be the stereotype that they don't want others to perceive them as (which goes for people of all races, nationalities, religions, etc.). However, it's another to argue that people should go around monitoring people who belong to their "race" in order to counter the intellectual laziness of those who believe stereotypes. It's utter nonsense.

this is not the first time he has used such negative stereotypes against blacks.

And white people go berserk over sporting events. So what?
Do you really want to go there?
FACT: although they are less than 10% of the population, black males are responssible for over 1/3 of the crimes in this country
FACT: blacks are 3 times more likely to be the victim of murder than any other race and their killers are overwhelmingly another black person...
"Convinc[ing] the people of your race to stop the[ir] behavior" is not "taking responsibility for your own actions". On the contrary, it's taking responsibility for other people's actions.It's not about being a good "nigga" for massah, it's about taking responsibility for your own actions.

You can't blame that on "racism"
It's not about being a good "nigga" for massah, it's about taking responsibility for your own actions.
If stating so makes me a racist, then so be it
....You said "If you want to end racial profiling, convince the people of your race to stop the behavior being profiled.".....

I think you're mixing up racial profiling with behavioral profiling. Assuming a black guy is a criminal because he's black is racial profiling...and dumb. Assuming a black guy on a corner that is known for drug dealing is a dealer is behavioral profiling (assuming all black guys on corners in bad neighborhoods are dealing is a stretch though). Also, I think assuming a man is Southern because of a NASCAR hat and a a woman is promiscuous for wearing revealing clothes are stretches too. I think there would have to be more behavior signals for me to make those assumptions particularly since scant clothing is a trend now and people in the North see NASCAR.I'm no racist by any stretch. But all human beings are guilty of profiling each other. You see a woman in revealing clothes, you assume she's promiscuous. You see a white guy wearing a NASCAR shirt, you assume he's southern. You see a black guy on a street corner in a bad neighborhood, you assume he's up to something. It's a vicious cycle that we have created. We profile people that look a certain way. The people being profiled portray themselves that way because they assume that's what gets them results. The woman in revealing clothes knows that attracts more men, the guy wearing a NASCAR shirt fits in with the rest of the NASCAR fans, the black guy on the corner knows people will come to him for drugs. You can call it racial profiling all you want. I think its simply using the data and indicators in your mind to deduce what kind of person someone is based off of appearance. We are trained to do it in the military. In Iraq, you see an Arabic male, 18-30, taking pictures of your guardposts, you swoop out and detain him. That's not profiling. That is predicting his intent by using indicators that we have associated with terrorist activity. Could he simply be a student of the University of Baghdad doing a report on the American occupation? Sure, he could. But the indicators suggest other intent. By the way, that's a true story about the Iraqi guy. I will debate this with someone all day because EVERY person is guilty of stereotypes and profiling. Its called having a discerning mind. Not racism

this is not the first time he has used such negative stereotypes against blacks.
Can't help but notice you have nothing to show that anything i posted was incorrect or not based on fact
you want me to prove a negative, or disprove your CLEARLY biased opinion?
sorry buddy, I don't play those games.
Never have i said all blacks are lazy, steal, etc. I merely pointed out that enough blacks act in a certain way to create the stereotype. And blaming it on racism is not the solution. The solution is altering the behavior. The same is true for any other race and their stereotypes. Whether it be soccer hooligans, nascar rednecks, whatever.
My problem is that it seems that anytime anyone says anything negative about blacks, no matter how true it may be, someome starts screaming "racism")
Simply show where one thing i posted is factually incorrect. Should be easy for a genius of your stature
Let me know what you think about this new definition for "racist". Mind you, please keep in mind today's social and political climate.
Racist:
1: Anyone that says or does anything even remotely or subjectively negative towards someone that is not of their race.
2: A belief that your race is superior to that of another race.
what's your problem???????????????????????????????
comments like this only **** your angle on this issue even more.
What's yours?
And calling people stupid and misrepresenting their opinions is any better?...
