@Justin: What you're saying is that because white people enslaved black people a while ago means that racism against blacks from whites is somehow more "wrong"? If you can't see the ignorance in that, then there's really no hope for you.
@Phizzy: Stella used to be quite high class, but no more I'm afraid. Skol all the way for me...
When did I say it was more wrong? I am very annoyed at the double standard society has when it comes to talking about race. I didn't say I agreed that having a white woman holding a black woman's face was more racist than the other way around, but a lot of black people will see it that way, because they constantly consider that white people weren't the slaves of black people. In a perfect world we wouldn't be debating the ad, because color wouldn't be considered. Go at the people seeking reparations, not me.
The ironic thing is, people are not looking into history past a certain point. Not that this should be considered somthing to really debate over, because there are no winners here...and it's very depressing when you consider it all, but African Americans were NOT the only one's who were made into slaves.
This is the same as the person who thinks, only Jewish people were put into concentration camps.
This is a one sided view, and as I said before, it's more like using the past as a crutch, your own personal little soap box, where you can bitch and moan about everyone else, and claim that your just fine. Nope.
As I said before, when a person claims it's racist one way, but had it been the other way it would have been fine, that person is a racist in their own right. More so, this entire thing is just more bullshit coming from the "political correct" views. I mean no offense or anything, but when I was younger, I got my ass kicked many times by a group of apparently angry Black young adults, who claimed "my people was the reason the world was a shithole". Yes, so justify personal issues by playing race, and beating the shit out of someone who didn't want to fight back.
So one day I got tired, and I faught back. Guess what happened next...
I'm suspended from school, on the terms that out of racial hatred, I attacked a helpless African American student, out of rage against the Black community. My life was made into hell, until one of the kids aunts found out what really happend, and told the school, who in turn appolgised to me. Of course, their statement was hollow bullshit, but pay attention-
I was attacked by a group of angry racist Black kids. I was redeemed by the aunt of one of those kids, who was also Black. See the point? Race means nothing. It's who you ARE as a person, and it can't be played off on a skin color.
So all I need to say, has basically been said. I'm not a racist, and while...yes, those kids were, it doesn't mean I should hate or fear, or even loath other people who are Black...or Asian, or Spanish, or WHATEVER. It does not matter. I judge people by their actions. You could be a fucking alien from Neptune for all I care, as long as you do well in your life, from my views, then I have no complaints, and no reason to even think about harboring some sort of disrespect towards you, or your race/color/creed/etc.
Though should be noted that anyone who is outright racist with zero regard towards anyone around(See X-Member and his previews posted in the Preview section for more info), then I simply tell you to go fucking die...because the world just doesn't need anymore hate mongering fucktards.
@Justin: "And I can see the point of "if it was switched around it wouldn't be a big deal" but look at that picture and consider that white people weren't the ones made slaves for hundreds of years"
That is definitely insuinating that white towards black racism is somehow different to black towards white. And the slave business is in the distant past, so has no bearing on today's society (or shouldn't have). It'd be like all Christians hating Romans for the persecutions, or all Neanderthals hating Homo Sapiens... maybe that's taking it too far, but you get my drift.
@NeoHunter: The same thing happened to me, an Asian guy goes round calling me a "white bastard" for about three weeks, and when I finally snap and call him "black bastard", I immediately get called into the head's office. I'm not saying what I did was okay, it's just there's a lot of hypocracy (sp?) and double standards in both the media, the education system and in the general public view.
