Quote:The main thing here is to laugh at whites complaining about "reverse-racism" as if they were a heavily discriminated group in society. Even with affirmative action, we still have the upper hand.
This attitude is what causes support for racist white groups flourish in my experience.
I don't call it reverse racism I just call it racism though.
I know in my area what used to happen (and might still happen now but not as much) is that white people would continually be attacked by pakistani groups constantly, I've been on public transport and seen white people get kicked in the face for no reason, every month in the newspaper there would be another picture of an old mans face brutally beaten because he walked into a pakistani area and I know at least one white person was killed walking through an area not far from me.
None of this racism was ever taken seriously because it was against white people, so eventually white racist groups got the support they wanted from white people who were being laughed at by people who had the attitude that the the racism they were facing wasn't significant enough because they were white.
I pretty much agree with what summerqueen says when she says its a complex issue with many nuances, but I think it's stupid to basically say "Hey don't generalize about black people, white people always have the upperhand and have you ever noticed they're always spree killing and most serial killers are white?"
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
