First of all, yes I do advocate forgiveness, but nowhere did I call for that here, although it may have been implied. What I said, is that it’s POSSIBLE that, having been caught doing what he did, it MAY have served as a wakeup call, prompting a much more thought out apology. I have to give him some credit – at least he owned his wrongdoing and apologized not only to the black community but to those who raised him. He acknowledged that the wrongdoing was his. He was not raised to think or do the things he did in that video. He failed a lot of people. And he offered his own apology which is more than the other kid did. He let his parents apologize for him. I have no idea what’s in that young man’s heart and NEITHER DOES ANYONE ELSE! If anyone thinks they do, they're only kidding themselves. He may be a to-the-core racist but I’m also allowing for the fact that he’s still young and his values may not be set in stone yet. There’s room for introspection and change. If that weren’t the case, we’d all be in trouble because every single one of us here holds some type of prejudice. Now if taking the view that there’s room for another POV besides that the kid’s a racist through and through with no room for change makes ME a racist, so be it.
Get off that "minority" shit while you still can. They are groups considered minorities that are every bit as racist as whites.
So True! I've always had a really hard time understanding how people who have been treated so badly can turn around and be ok with another group of people being treated the same ways. I've gone rounds with some of my family members over things....makes no sense at all.
Because oppression is ok unless you're the one being oppressed. Italians Jews and Irish are perfect examples of this. Blacks for whatever reason are the only group I don't see pushing "undesirables" out of our neighborhoods unless drugs are involved
Unless it's a community of superior african immigrants pushing out those useless, American-born loud rap music players
Yah I know....I find it all really disgusting. My dad and grandfather were treated so badly and went through so much and I still couldn't believe some of the crap that came out of my dad's mouth. But then they did it towards their own too. They thought they were better because they were Northern Italian. I grew up hearing all sorts of trash towards Sicilians.
I was kidding I don't really know any black communities in America trying to drive out other blacks Most blacks probably can't even tell you what nationality they are....for obvious historical reasons.... With whites ur Irish-American, Italian-American, Greek, Russian, English, Scottish....with blacks ur just 'African-American'
First of all, I'm not talking about Jews. Secondly, nothing about my post is weak. What I suggest takes strength and is backed up by real world history. Just kicking them out of school does nothing but entrench their views while similtainiusly driving them underground. In effect, they just know to keep their mouths shut now. And that's cool until it comes time for their asses to hire, give a loan to or invest in a African American. From Ghandi to King to Mandela the proven effective, real world way of making meaningful and lasting changes in situations like these is to change minds. And you do that by being the better people, by educating the ignorant and exposing them to the people beyond the stereotype. Ofcourse, if you think I'm wrong you are more than welcome to disprove the ways of Ghandi, King or Mandela. 'Cause it doesn't get any more real world than those three. Or maybe you should go back to your Hanna Barbera cartoons. No, I'm wrong for that one. Your argument seems more like a Disney cartoon. 'Cause your shit is so, so Mickey Mouse.
No doubt about that. But, did his methods work or didn't they? I'm talking about the methods he used, that inspired King. That's the point of my argument.
Did this negro just say real history:smt036 Ghandi was an Anti-Black RACIST....not that you'd give a damn. Educate yourself ass-kisser: http://www.raceandhistory.com/historicalviews/ghandi.htm https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uRV8PYDIa8I https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pdCXWmYHrk8 As for those racists in Oklahoma...they chanted "hang them from trees" Why show them compassion they'd never show your gelded ass??:smt017 Get off your knees while you can.
