Racism A post on Imgur today really made me think. Racism and double standards are just still alive and well. There are clothing lines, magazines, tv channels, even dating sites specifically for Black Americans (i dont like the term african american, most of the black americans were born here african americans seems degrading and stereotypical). Anyway, if you were to make a whitepeoplemeet.com or White entertainment television youd be labeled a racist. If they made a scholarship related to being white itd be racist. Its the same as if you were to have a straight pride parade. Its reverse discrimination at its finest people.

You clearly misunderstand the meaning of racism.

@Dygeleran Having a clothing line or TV channel dedicated to any particular culture is not at all racist unless they involved any of the characteristics of racism such as: the belief that all members of each race possess characteristics, abilities, or qualities specific to that race, especially so as to distinguish it as inferior or superior to another race or races. Also: Prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against someone of a different race based on the belief that oneâs own race is superior. (Definition from Oxford Dictionaries)

@blindsilence you missed the whole point. Im not saying like BET is racist. Im saying if you made a tv channel called white entertainment television it would instantly be shut down

@Dygeleran OK, time for some educating. "Black Power" was a political slogan used by various groups during the 1960 and 1970's in the USA where well, blacks didn't exactly have easiest of times living in 'society'. The movement or goal was to emphasise racial pride, politics and culture and promote black collective interests. The term "white power" was devised by the leader of the American Nazi Party who well, erm... Nazi!. I recommend you google "racism in USA 1960s" then read and then google "nazi" afterwards then read.

So i still cant say white power as pride in my race

Id be considered racist

@Dygeleran It's context. You clearly didn't understand the context and history behind those slogans before you spouted them off in some feeble attempt to prove a point. White pride is good. Black pride is good. Kill all of the blacks is bad. Understand?

I know the history AND the context. Im just talking about social assumptions

@Dygeleran You. Are. Assuming. Racism. Society has bugger all to do with your assumptions.

I like to eat black jacks and milky bars and my fav colour is gold

@glen gold? That's clearly favouritism, what about silver or copper!.

@blindsilence Okay go into the street and scream white power meaning you are proud to be white and see what happens

Come on Aunt Sally, you can do better than that... are you even paying attention?.
