Someone resurrected this thread last night and now it seems there is a good reason to do so. I hesitated to post this here for fear that ya thought I was trying to raise the dead but I think this thread is exactly where the following goes.


After 17 pages of  the race card and double standards I found this on CNN, taken from an article about Michael Vicks dog fighting charges:

"Dr. R.L. White Jr. accused the government of "piling on." "There's a penalty in football for piling on," White told reporters. "After a player has been tackled and somebody piles on, they're penalized for unnecessary roughness.

"Today, the NAACP blows the whistle and warns the powers that be that you are piling on." "

OK so here is my question: Just exactly how and when did this become a RACE issue warranting NAACP intervention?? AND where the hell was the NAAWP when Lance Armstrong needed them when everyone was "piling on" him for juicing? No race issue there apparently., so why is Vicks case a race issue all of a sudden?

Reminds me of when Kobe was in trouble for those rape charges. I remember some black correspondent on ESPN saying he hoped Kobe got off fair because he was in a predominently white neighborhood. He was already accusing the jury of being racist before the trial had even begun.

Does anyone have answers to these questions????

You pass me on the street and sneer in my direction. You call me "Whiteboy," "Cracker," "Honkey," "Whitey," "Caveman" and that's OK.

But when I call you, nigger, Kike, Towelhead, Sand-nigger, Camel Jockey, Beaner, Gook, or Chink you call me a racist.



You say that whites commit a lot of violence against you, so why are the ghettos the most dangerous places to live?

You have the United Negro College Fund. You have Martin Luther King Day. You have Black History Month. You have Cesar Chavez Day. You have Yom Hashoah You have Ma'uled Al-Nabi You have the NAACP. You have BET.

If we had WET (White Entertainment Television) we'd be racists. If we had a White Pride Day you would call us racists. If we had white history month, we'd be racists. If we had an organization for only whites to "advance" our lives, we'd be racists. If we had a college fund that only gave white students scholarships,you know we'd be racists. There are over 60 openly proclaimed Black Colleges in the US, yet if there were "White colleges" that would be a racist college.

In the Million Man March, you believed that you were marching for your race and rights. If we marched for our race and rights, you would call us racists.

You are proud to be black, brown, yellow and orange, and you're not afraid to announce it. But when we announce our white pride, you call us racists.



You rob us, carjack us, and shoot at us. But, when a white police officer shoots a black gang member or beats up a black drug-dealer running from the law and posing a threat to society, you call him a racist.

I am proud. But, you call me a racist.





Why is it that only whites can be racists?
It most certainly is not okay to call a white man "Whiteboy," "Cracker," "Honkey," "Whitey," or "Caveman". Whoever implied that it was is an idiot.

That last sentance is insulting, are you implying that every single black person 'robs you, carjacks you and shoots you'? That's a horribly insulting generalisation ...don't tar the peace loving black community with the same brush as the gang bangers and scumbags.

As for the stuff about Black colleges and Black Entertainment TV, that's a fair enough point but seen as the black population are not in a dominant position over the Government or society at large it is not as much of an issue as if they were a majority group exerting their culture over a minority group.

Wow, how about fast forwarding to 2007 and leave the 19th century and slavery behind. As a matter of fact I am all for paying any slave restituiton for their treatment by our govt. Oh wait, they all died out about 120 years ago.


The sad thing is, all of your rambling and you didn't say a damn thing constructive, you just called me an idiot without explaining the reason for the accepted double standards.

Wanting the same chances for everyone such as I endorse is hardly a racist position. NOT allowing a white guy to advance over a black guy for no other reason than because he is white and not black is JUST as racist as the reverse. But I am sure I could never get you to agree with that.

To the point of your second paragraph, no it is not saying ALL blacks shoot rob or carjack us. It is simply saying WHEN those events occur it is a crime, and it is. But when those events occurs to a black person it is a HATE crime and racially motivated, which as you know now, is supposed to carry a stiffer penalty. Personally I thought ALL crime was a hate crime.

What I do not understand and you guys can't seem to defend is this.

As a person saying that everyone should be held to the same standard is the least racist position to hold, yet you call me a racist for having it.

You guys insist that the double standard is ok or deny its exisitance when it has clearly been proven, and think it isn't racist. Then you call me a racist again.

If you read over my post again you'll see that I'm not in favour of double standards. My last point about colleges and TV etc. was not intended to sound like my own view but the attitude of society in general as it is now. I don't agree with the idea of affirmative action, yes things should be done to help revitalise run-down areas and so called 'ghetto' communities but this doesn't mean having to apply double standards throughout every structure in society. A minority group will prosper faster in a fair and balanced (sounds like FOX News lol) society rather than one that panders to it as pandering encourages laziness and stagnation.

I know what your post said and I responded to it on in my first paragraph, the rest was, just as you did, speaking in generalities toward the accepted behavior of society and those that posted in this thread that are guilty of what I described.

It's hard to be racist when you're surrounded by hundreds of people of different and the same ethnicity, such as Australia.  I still haven't figured out what happened at Cronulla.

Alright, I'm 'white' (of celtic/gaulish/gothic/norman decent) and I find dark skin a turn off. When I say dark skin I mean African/NT aboriginal dark. olive/deep tan/asian skin tones and such are fine... but I just don't like chicks with really dark skin... Tyra Banks is as dark as a girl can be with me still finding them attractive...

Does that make me racist?



Oh and the double standards thing does piss me off a bit. The fact that affirmative action exists in the USA is racist. It doesn't happen in Australia though. Not government funded anyway. The programs we have in place apply to economic brackets, not races...

Problem is the very lowest income brackets are dominated by the indigenous people of the central Australian and remote Northern communities.

racism, just like any other form of abuse is a two-part affair. First, you have the "racist" and the "victim". And just like many other forms of inter-personal abuse, the ppl involved, unless very careful, WILL switch roles at one point. Just like how an abused child will one day abuse his own children, ppl who have been the victim of racism will with a high degree of certainty, return the favor to some other as-of-yet undiscriminated against person. Thusly, the pattern keeps itself going.
The only way to break the chain is to rise above it. And I don't mean in a smarmy self-righteous "I'm gonna teach you a lesson" way. I'm not a religious person, but that jebus dude may have hit it on the mark with "turn the other cheek". Ppl discount the effectiveness of this policy because they are unable to perceive the effects of it in a long term manner. But truly I believe this is the only way for a society to purge itself of such ridiculousness.
It just seems to me that alot of the racism I see in effect is being perpetrated by individuals who were once discriminated against themselves. This does not absolve them from guilt tho, as their own ignorance to the bigger picture is what dooms them to repeat this cycle.

just a thought.

Edit: Calling a person a noob could be construed as a form of discrimination.

I've been called cracka numerous times, and always thought it was kind of funny. It's never been in a threatening way, and I never had to worry about the person calling me a cracka harming me.

I'm sure if I were alone in the countryside and got called a nigger, it'd be a little worried though.

So you think that people like me that live out in the country are a bunch of hicks going "nigger this" "nigger that"? Dude try and actually leave the city and go out into the country. Hell I would bet that people like you couldn't even survive one day out in the country without any of your fancy shit.

18 pages and 1.5 yrs later, nobody has yet explained to me why racial double standards exist and why it is acceptable.

Why is my view of treating everyone the same, accepted, until that treatment would curtail the minorities from doing what white people are already forbidden to do. In that case, keeping minorities on the same playing field is racist, and keeping white people curtailed is not. Still waiting for someone to explain this

Not that I can see, I just want the Jesse Jackson, and Al Sharpton and NAACP followers to admit it, instead of just dismissing my question as being racist.
