I just can't get over how terrible the OP's argument against racism is.


"I'm better than you."
"wut? how?"


This is where the racist explains the glorious history of the Aryan man, their superior intellect, inhibitions against violence, beauty, etc.

What I hate the most is when people preach about "White Beauty". When the reality is that there are people of other races that can be better looking

I discriminate more on the culture of a person. I can't stand people who act "ghetto" and set themselves up for a life of crime and ignorance. Sorry but statistically alot of them happen to be black. I don't think that's racism it's just an unfortunate coincidence.

It's not all like that. Some make bad choices and some just have economic disadvantages. No offense but your why there's a stereotypes for white people being racist.

You said you don't trust black people and you base a bunch of your reasons off of stereotypes created by the media and such.

When did I say that I didn't trust black people or that my opinion is based off of the media?

I have black friends so apparently I trust some black people like I trust some white people. And I'm basing my opinion not off of the media but personal experiance. I used to live in low-income housing. Most of the people there were black and most sold drugs, did drugs, or stole for a living.

Well if you live in an Area that is run down or has a lot of poor people that is bound to happen. But you tried to conclude that most black people were like that. When your poor or live in a poor area, crime just happens....

No you reversed what I said. I said that most people who were in the poor area were black (which goes along with you economically disadvantaged point of view) not that most people commiting crimes were black. I said most people who try to pull off the ghetto persona were black and alot of them were headed towards a life of crime and ignorance which is true. Not that most people committing all types of crime were black. Although according to government statistics they are the highest percentile of inmates in the U.S. as of 2007.

You said "You and your race look stupid" in your "lets be logical" topic. That kind of means that you think the whole race looks stupid which would contradict your claim that you don't think majority of black people act this way......

Both of you need to chill, this is what I was talking about. Just...chill. Ok? How about we just agree poor have more crime, see? That is actually something that matters, instead of race. But at the same time flaming the crap out of people who do have statistics, no matter if the statistics don't really mean much, doesn't solve anything.

This wasn't a flame. This was a debate.

Most ppl who are racist

- feel the need to be thought as better than others based on race because they have nothing else to be proud of
- often don't want to admit it even though every one around sees/knows them for who they are
- really need to get a life

yeah I agree to chill.
