That's just where you're at. That's not the whole world.

First, how honestly many black people are you gonna meet in ****ing Japan? Soldiers I guess? Either way I don't expect that the social dynamics between blacks living in predominantly white countries are going to be the same as they are in your neck of the ocean, nor do I expect your memory of the world outside to be reliable.

Secondly, experienced people say stupid **** too. Like whenever my well-travelled grandfather trades racist jokes with my uncle and praises Donald Trump.

Dude, I dont actually speak in ebonics you know that right? I grew up in Maine one of only two black people on my island and I was litterally treated no differently than anyone or trashed because of my skin tone. If anything I was regarded as exotic when puberty came calling. You can't change whats in someones heart. And you cant police their thoughts. Who gives a **** if someone thinks differently than you do? Honestly they are allowed freedom of thought and exspression and its protected under our constitution. Get used to it. And stop flogging yourselves for the messed up ideas of a few retards. Jesus white guilt is so prevalent these days its almost like an epidemic.;)

lulz. Not even sure what nerve I touched, but I still doubt that your place in Japan gives you an understanding of race relations for blacks in the West. Just from my hole in Virginia I get to see the end result of 200 years of slavery, 100 years of segregation and Jim Crow, and years afterward of racist housing policies that kept blacks out of middle class housing. Lo and behold they're poorer per capita.

Aside from the fact that it's condescending to assume that someone with a physical disability is necessarily worse off than someone who can't even afford shoes, and that both problems are wildly different, it's silly to think that someone's worse problem makes your problem not suck. A woman from Rwanda who was raped and had her tits cut off is not going to make a woman who was "just" slipped a roofie at a bar feel any better while doing a rape kit.

It's also a convenient excuse to ignore the problems of others when you simply don't want to be bothered.

I was a bit disappoint when Trollheart created this thread. I wanted to start a thread to talk about ethnicity and nationality in a positive way. I always shied away from creating it, always having the fear it would go down in flames a like village being torched by Godzilla.

Oddly enough I watched a documentary about Section Eight Housing last night, and that backed up your statement, Batlord.

From what I've seen and read, a regular black guy trying to make ends meet or better himself has a much harder time of it:-

in the USA, as Batlord says.
in Britain, by subtler but effective discrimination, in the job market for instance.
in Africa, where standards of living are low and so many of the governments are corrupt or sporadically genocidal.

Not the only example of racist housing policies in America unfortunately.

I complain about people pretending to give a **** that don't. It's easy to follow. Because they don't actually further the cause they muddy it up with fake bull****. Often times becoming a detriment to the cause. Like, okay, lets discuss and try to change this ****ty holiday instead of talking about real issues.

I don't do **** other than call out bull**** just as most people, but I don't make up bull**** to call out for the sake of a hero roll. I think that right there, the discussion, rather than narcissistic name calling for a facade, is at least half the battle. And I honestly don't even give enough of a **** to help myself, what makes you think I give enough of a **** to protest or vote? Like, ****, I live in Utah, we honestly don't have most of these racial issues here too often.

Think about it. I had a hard time understanding why I should identify somebody as a certain gender. Elph calls me a moron, you just tell me to just do it because it's the thing to do, and Chio and Pae break it down and help me understand just a little more. Now who the hell do you think actually gave a ****? The people that put enough thought into it to know what to tell me. Who do you think helped the cause more? The people that actually gave a ****. Maybe it only slightly changed only one person's perception just a little bit, but that one conversation actually added something to help the cause. And me? That's what I've done and have completely given up on because I stopped giving a ****. Got sick of arguing with brick walls that don't give a **** about fixing or helping anything because all they give a **** about is being right and stroking their own cocks for picking side to sheepishly follow.

Edit: And it's more upsetting seeing these retarded fake liberal issues being handled by arrogant pricks because you expect more from them. Like, ****, Trump people are just flat out dumb. Lets admit that. They made a ****ty decision through terrible reasoning and a lot of them are too egotistical, idiotic or, dare I say, racist to admit it.

Even with my admittedly pitifully limited experience I'd have to call bull**** on that. Even here in Ireland blacks can be viewed with suspicion, probably not as much as say America or maybe the UK but still, they definitely evoke the most distrust and a sense of "you're not one of us." I think that's true for black people no matter where they are, unless we're talking about countries where they're the majority, such as Africa, the Caribbean etc.

Well I'm sorry, but I didn't create the thread solely for you. Sure, we'd all like to live in a world without racism, where everyone is afforded the same rights and dignity, but sadly that's not the case, and wishing it were so and closing our eyes to what's going on is just stupid. We talk about racism in many threads, especially in this section, so I thought why not have one dedicated to the subject, where we can explore it, discuss it and so forth. Nobody's under any illusions that this thread will make a blind bit of difference in the real world, but it's worth at least talking about.

Also, nobody's stopping you creating your "racial diversity/melting pot/can't we all just get along?" thread. What are you waiting for?

Not surprised they left out all the unpalatable things Lincoln thought about blacks in America.

Karen was so upset at the end of that movie (I call her "Tiny Tears" now) until I reminded her of this (1:44) and then she couldn't stop laughing. DDL is amazing though.

I'll engage with you on this if no one else will.

I can understand and even support national pride, hell, even something approaching nationalism. I love America, I love American values, I think the Constitution and the Bill of Rights are still revolutionary documents and the world would be a better place if every country adopted and effectively implemented American democracy. With nationalism comes culture and I also support celebrating one's heritage with food, dance, dress, and veneration of folk heroes.

But I don't understand celebrating ethnicity. Can you explain what you mean by that?
