Tell me, should I encourage my nephews to call me a cracker? Is that their birth-right? Should I teach them they are better than me solely because they were born a different colour? Or would it be better to teach them that I am their uncle, a human being and deserving of the same respect regardless of my skin colour?
Which do you think is the better lesson? Which do you think would produce a fair-minded, decent human being?
If you haven't a decent answer feel free to shut the fuck up.
Well I don't actually use that word, I generally just speak against the general hateful attitude of the Western Caucasians. Their birth right is to assert their own will in not being subservient like the Right (now I have seen the Left is joining them) wants them to be.
Well do you actively seek to suppress their culture? Deport them? Disenfranchise them? I'm guessing the answer to all those questions is no.
See the thing about making bigoted comments as I did to Mockingbird allows for quite a few exceptions. They would not generally be bigoted if there were not quite a few exceptions to the stereotype...it's what makes them bigoted, using the stereotype and a small cross-section to fit a whole segment of a society.
From what I have seen dealing with white people, it's not their color that is the issue...it is their years of building their society upon oppression and destruction of other cultures.
That was *not* the argument you used. You were stating that black people had every right to be racist to white people without any repercussions. By that logic my nephews have every right to despise me based on my race and it would be all well and good.
What you suggest *is* oppression, it *is* subservience but not for your race. For mine. Not content with the ideal that we should all be equal in terms of rights you would seek to give the right to one race to show hatred to another. This would inevitably encourage hatred in return.
Like I said; unacceptable.
