I'll say the same thing to you as I usually say to God when he goes on this racist rant. What's your solution for eliminating "institutional racism"? Are we going to make laws that only benefit those with a certain skin color? Will we use the one drop rule? How about Native Americans? How about black people that were raised by white people? How about white people that were raised by black people?

As long as there people like you, railing against everyone that isn't a minority and demanding that the government step in and force equality across the board, we will still have racism. You just can't stand the thought of a world where people view skin color as just another physical attribute. You're pitting one race against another under the guise of "tolerance" or "equality."

Lessons of this thread:

(1) Solutions don't require understanding causes
(2) Race is completely arbitrary from a rational point of view, so why view it as a thing in the world
(3) Liberals are the real racists because they want to address racism
(4) Addressing racism creates racism

Where's the love? Not once has anyone mentioned the oppression of yellow and brown people...

... that leads me to one conclusion: Racism exists because of white and black people. Y'all need to get over it.

Except you are misinformed on all these points.

(1) You are dwelling on the cause. This doesn't mean we don't understand the cause but we aren't going to sit around and sulk about it for another 200 years.

(2) Race should not be used to elevate one person over another. I mean if you really want to be picky and there are two people that look completely identical and are dressed the same but one is black and one is white...I'm sure its ok to say 'the black/dark/guy on the left' to describe him
(3) All liberals want to do is talk about race and make it an issue by using race as a way to qualify a person (job, aid, education, etc). Further fueling the fire.
(4) Addressing racism by creating special cases based on race IS racism, yes.

You're not addressing racism. You're addressing institutional racism. They are not the same concept. Just answer the question. What is your solution for dealing with institutional racism? My solution is that we, as people, should publicly denounce racism and call out the people that are motivated by racism.

With modern liberals, it's never just "racism is bad." It's "racism is bad - let's make more laws or let's throw an entitlement program at it" Then we get shit like hate crime laws that make murdering a minority carry a harsher penalty than murdering a white person, and instead of equality under the law, we get inequality under the law. I don't know that you support that kind of thing, but it sure seems like you're going down that road.

Another example of your backwards thinking. Maybe Freeman plays an old wise PERSON who gives other people advice. If you can't see past his skin color how are you not racist?

You aren't pointing out racism. You are creating it by labeling him as a black man playing a roll above white people. I'm guessing you also think that his talent as an actor has nothing to do with landing any of his rolls.

I'm sorry we all aren't 'philosophers' with your lifestyle. Next time you pack a bowl, give me a call and maybe I can come join you in this fascinating lifestyle.

Before you can change the world you need to change yourself. When you can learn to see past his skin color and stop labeling him as a black man in a white mans world then maybe there will be hope for others around you.

This is new... McDanger tries to act like he is better than everybody else... and then he is first one to start cursing users, their countries, and their mothers in here. Oh wait, he does that in every serious/political thread on TWW.

Quote :
"Your quips are witty and clever but don't really address anything."


Funny thing is, he says racist stuff all the time in chit chat. His defense, will of course be that he is trolling when he does that... but someone who is so smug and pompous about how he is so much more enlightened than all of us shouldn't say racist things even if in jest.

And finally, here is a gem from him, which of course he doesn't follow, as expected from a hypocrite:

Quote :
"McDanger: it must suck to be so pissed and bitter all the time, you all should learn to relax"

I don't put much stock in what Morgan Freeman says because being rich as shit and uber-famous isolates you from a lot of the racism in this country. The guy is one of the most recognizable faces in the country, he's unlikely to deal with a lot of the shit the average black guy or Latino deals with. And "not talking about" problem has never been a solution to making it go away.

Quote :
"Then we get shit like hate crime laws that make murdering a minority carry a harsher penalty than murdering a white person, and instead of equality under the law, we get inequality under the law."


Hate crimes don't do that. Hate crimes give a harsher penalty when the crime is proven to be motivated by race (and other categories). And yes it has resulted in harsher penalties for crimes with a black perpetrator and white victim.

Blocking out of socialist policy by racist conservatives (not all republicans are racist but all racists are conservatives) is preventing the government from ending institutionalized racism while still holding everyone on an equal level.

Let the government insure EVERYONE can have healthcare, education, food and the basic needs to grow up a normal life (welfare) regardless of color and racism would be offset by that. Right now, we're not quite there socially so affirmative action is very necessary.

Just because the man is successful does not mean he's isolated from racism. He also didn't grow up famous or successful. Whether he's over come racial issues in his life NOW does not mean he hasn't encountered them in the past.

Also, no one is saying 'lets not talk about it' as a solution.

"Rawr Rawr Rawr, he's rich so he doesn't know racism"

Morgan Freeman was raised in Mississippi, the son of a barber. His film debut was a movie about the civil rights movement called "The Nigger Lovers". Immediately after that he was in an all-black version of Hello, Dolly!. He was living in NYC during the Harlem and Newark race riots, working as a secretary.

Guy probably knows more about racism than anyone under the age of 30.

Getting off topic here, but why should the motivation change the penalty for a crime? I don't think that it should matter, as far as sentencing goes.

^^Why does it matter? He lived through it, and you didn't. I like how every time a black person comes out on the real side of equality, the liberals come out in droves to crucify them. "He's not a real black person! Real black people are poor! Real black people can't be successful on their own, they need the government (with the help of Democrats) to survive!"

It's glaringly obvious to me that this is not about "addressing racism." This is about maintaining an important constituency. We all agree that there have been some severe injustices in our nation's past. It's okay to acknowledge that, and it's okay to admit that there may be some residual effects still present. It's not okay to turn one race against another for political reasons.
