racism has its dormant seed in america... it is so obvious to me sometimes that it is nauseating. it makes me want to vomit. one of the top reasons i want to get the fuck out of this country, but i feel like i'd just encounter it elsewhere.
in the area i live - you have to have certain qualifications to be black and not considered a waste of life. even succesful blacks are viewed as some kind of mutation, or 'strange'. if you are a smart negro you are a 'special', an 'exception'.

i'm not trying to contradict you, but i think the general experience in our society is that if you are "successful" or "smart", you are generally regarded as a special person... regardless of race...

i agree with you, as a black person its exxagerated though. even amongst blacks if youre smart and you do not talk with a head full of slang and ebonics you are 'weird' or a 'square', as if an intelligent person is like contimated water

wow.... I was just kidding about the south thing.... but you're apparently from there ? I lived for a little while in New Orleans, and what I experienced was almost the opposite..... whites were the ones being discriminated against by blacks.... and the whites more than less were more accepting of differences in a person's race, creed, or sexual orientation..... but that might just be because new orleans is new orleans..... although the ghetto out there is HORRENDOUS

you hit the nail on the head there. i think the root of racism is the whole shadowy construct of "race" itself. but this might be too large an issue for a messageboard.
as long as people choose to divide themselves this way, whether for pride or good or bad, we'll experience the consequences of the choices. more division, more stereotypes, more racism.

..and aye, racism is crap. it's also crap in "reverse" when people think I'm trying to be a black gangsta 'cause I listen to hip-hop.. it's very rare, but it happens every once in a while.. mostly drunk peope from sotra (if you're a smart man from sotra in bergen, you're as much of an odditiy as a smart black man).

I hope it gets better too. Racism springs out of fear of the unknown, I would think. If people understood and familiarized themselves with other cultures I think some of the problems would go away. This sounds very flowery and idealistic.. but on a personal level some of the reason I do not feel as comfortable around people of other races is that things are still somewhat informally segregated and I don't understand the other cultures.. I even fear other cultures sometimes. This doesn't mean I'm racist, I'm just ill-equipped to deal with cultures I don't understand. I'm from south Texas, so there's a large Hispanic population here.. in fact it's the majority. As a result, I feel quite comfortable around Hispanic people.
It's tough, if we stopped all these programs with special treatment for minorities, which only continue to place more emphasis on racial difference, then maybe the divide would begin to fade. Or, would it just mean that those in charge continue to discriminate and exercise their own racism? It's a tough call but hopefully, if we can dull the rhetoric of intolerance that still springs up in certain areas enough, the problem will soften over a couple more generations.

Yeah, you should go north, everyone there is so scared of being perceived as racist that they give other races preferential treatment (also exists with gays). I catch myself doing it occasionally.

I got sick of this discussion a long time ago. Nobody is racist if you ask them, and I think most everyone honestly believes that. But clearly its not quite adding up, so its obviously something that people do by accident.

i think ignorance is slowly residing. i mean, 10 years ago, a movie like Brokeback Mountain wouldn't be anywhere near a cineplex let alone win any academy awards.
10 years from now, it'll be an award winning gay film about a mexican astronaut and a black Nascar driver i rekkon.

well i live on the west coast of austraila and so i don't know shit about the east coast, but you always see aboriginals sleeping in parks and shit even though they get free education and get handout money, then they go spend it on beer and complain about the government when teenager aboriginal kids in a near by town go throwing bricks at people waiting to get on trains, some guy was seriously injured a few weeks ago and it was all caught in the security tape, a few months ago i was walking in the city and these pack of abo kids came walking the oppisite way we were, all dressed in fucking rags and cheap shit, and my friend and i were just walking up the street and one of them pretented to smash a bottle in my mates head, like strikeing his head with a bottle but the abo who did it just pretented then they kept walking and laughing and speaking in their petrol slang.
those cunts need to be taught to conform to society and to get an eduation and all that, not just go claiming land that they say belonged to their ancestors 60000 years ago.
now i respect the native americans you have in north america, i like their culture, like the apache and cherokke, they seem kind and vibrant people, but i never see anything on cnn or fox news about native americans attacking a pedestrian waiting for a train.
i'm not saying that all australian aboriginals are bad, i know aboriginals who have an education and are friendly guys, but its just the ones you see in parks.

australia still belonged to the aboriginies 250 years ago, not 60000 years ago. and american indians don't go around harassing people because they are all but wiped out.

"Stolen Generation is the term commonly used to mean the Australian Aboriginal children who were removed from their families by Australian government agencies and church missions between approximately 1900 and 1972. Originally considered child welfare, the practice is today perceived by many as a gross human rights violation, having wrought extensive family and cultural damage."
