abhorrent1: He's dumb because he's black.


Meh, naw I think he's dumb because he's dumb. Whatever opposition he faces because he is black is hard to determine because he's done and said some stupid shiat that had the potential to offend anyone. I think the attack on DC voters is rooted in racism by people who have no idea what the demographics of the city are, now.

/Hint: Gentrification

Uchiha_Cycliste: AeAe: Uchiha_Cycliste: AeAe: Uchiha_Cycliste: AeAe: Uchiha_Cycliste: Who here knew that Pollack was offensive?
I didn't

Are you serious?

Well, yeah. Where would I have learned it was offensive before now?

Well.. 2 questions.. how old are you and where do you live?

29, California. Southern then Bay area.

45, Virginia. When I was going to high school the 'dumb Polack' jokes were common. Invariably, someone would get shocked and say "You know, 'Polack' is a derogatory term" and that's how you knew. Maybe it's a regional thing, but we learned it in high school.

Nope. A) no one told dumb Polack jokes. I doubt I ever even heard the word Pollack in HS.

Interedasting.

Also, why did you type A), but there's no B)?

That wasn't very white of him.

What's his stance on the wops and spics?

Silly Jesus: Awww, did someone get their feewings hurted by some meany words?

Grow the fark up...

0/10

Next time, wait until at least a few people express outrage before casting your reel, dumbass.

bunner: Let's face it, we hire a lot of wankers for these jobs from the city council to the White House, coast to coast.

I agree. However I don't think you could pay me enough to be the mayor of a large American city. That is one hell of a hard job. I'm in the middle of watching The Wire for the first time, and man...I feel for Carcetti.

Honest Bender: Polack is an offensive term?

Yes. It's like saying "darkie".

I have no idea how that A) got there. =/
If I were to write a B) I suppose it would be about the racial make up of my school and the likely minority whipping boy of Mexicans in Southern California. In my time and place those are the racist terms you would have heard most frequently.

\stupid magical A)

Damn Mexicans. Tell them to besa mi culo ..

the only good thing about Mexicans are their fine women. And their food. And their hard work ethic. that's it.

Citrate1007: You don't have to be white to be racist.

You sound white. The University of Delaware would disagree with your statement:


From the University of Delaware Office of Residence Life Diversity Facilitation Training


"A RACIST: A racist is one who is both privileged and socialized on the basis of race by a white supremacist (racist) system. The term applies to all white people (i.e., people of European descent) living in the United States, regardless of class, gender, religion, culture or sexuality. By this definition, people of color cannot be racists, because as peoples within the U.S. system, they do not have the power to back up their prejudices, hostilities, or acts of discrimination. (This does not deny the existence of such prejudices, hostilities, acts of rage or discrimination.)" - Page 3

"REVERSE RACISM: A term created and used by white people to deny their white privilege. Those in denial use the term reverse racism to refer to hostile behavior by people of color toward whites, and to affirmative action policies, which allegedly give 'preferential treatment' to people of color over whites. In the U.S., there is no such thing as 'reverse racism.'" - Page 3

"A NON-RACIST: A non-term. The term was created by whites to deny responsibility for systemic racism, to maintain an aura of innocence in the face of racial oppression, and to shift responsibility for that oppression from whites to people of color (called "blaming the victim"). Responsibility for perpetuating and legitimizing a racist system rests both on those who actively maintain it, and on those who refuse to challenge it. Silence is consent." - Page 3

"Have you ever heard a well-meaning white person say, 'I'm not a member of any race except the human race?' What she usually means by this statement is that she doesn't want to perpetuate racial categories by acknowledging that she is white. This is an evasion of responsibility for her participation in a system based on supremacy for white people." - Page 8

He's just not a very smart man.

For some reason I'm picturing you as one of those angsty fat kids crammed into skinny jeans.

He's trying really hard to make us care what he has to say. Poor fat fark.

It's true. IT'S TRUE!. I have no friends and I am SO LONELY. Can I cry my Cheeto tears into your lush eyebrows?

You made me check out valar_morghulis's profile.

Hmm ... oh, and a kilt? WANT.

Leave it to Marion Barry...

...or, preferably, don't.

Sentient: "We gotta do something about these Asians coming in, opening up these dirty shops," he said on April 3. "They got to go. I'll say that right now."

... wow, I'm imagining someone subbing the word "black" in for "Asian" in that sentence. There would have been a shiatstorm of national proportions, protests, speeches & marches, even if he were just some podunk pensyltucky mayor instead of the elected rep of a major city.

So, does he get to keep his job because he's black, because it's still OK to single out Asians, or because no whites are involved & it's just one minority slagging another? I need to know why I should not be outraged.

At least he didn't call them orientals.

What's wrong with "oriental"?

Yeah, cuz white people NEVER do shiat like that at all.

Honest Bender: Polack is an offensive term?

Not to a Polish man. Maybe if you called Polish woman a polak instead of a polka, she'd be offended.

Only idiot Americans are offended by it. Hell, I've seen someone get offended when a someone else called a person from Mexico a Mexican. Not making that up.

jigger: Only idiot Americans are offended by it. Hell, I've seen someone get offended when a someone else called a person from Mexico a Mexican. Not making that up.

But, let me ask you, is there a term besides Mexican that you prefer? Something less offensive? It has certain connotations.

Is Mexicano ok? That's Spanish for "Mexican" ..

It's not offensive because it was said, it's offensive because this particular redguard said it. Just think if some white pol over in Georgetown started saying "The Irish caught hell, the Jews caught hell, the nig*bong*rs caught hell,"

I have no idea, but apparently it's considered offensive now. Didn't you get the memo?
