proof that racism is alive and well...

Actually I think its the cover of a book written by a black man.

What the hell? It sounds like self-racism or something. Maybe I\'m not getting the title.

I think the author is just trying to answer a common stereotype.

I wonder if he writes anything about black people and movie theaters.

Stereotypes = Damn Ghey

The klan is dead? Shit the klan lives right next door to me. Even works at the same job as me. And goes to my school.

I guess racism is dead to?

I am not knocking you giga but I do think the klan is still alive and ticking. Just times have and change and the klan is not as public as it use to be. You can\'t kill racism. It is something that is forver going to be here. Hatred is taught and passed down. the klan still lives.

One article about cross burning and you colored folk run for the hills... j/k

Seriously, you guys really dwell on this crap too much.  The KKK does exist, but it isn\'t even a shadow of what it was during its hayday in the earlier 1900\'s.  Usually its a couple of redneck losers who get together, drink beer, pine for the Old South, then go out in the middle of the woods and light a cross on fire.  

For some people the word Klan is the equivalent of the "Boogie Man"...:looks at clips:...  Make sure you check under your bed tonight clips - some cracker in a sheet might be under there waiting for ya.

Edit:  Shouldn\'t this be in CE?

heh..check a couple posts up above this one giga..you\'ll see that i clearly stated that the people that burn these crosses and the group in general is small...it\'s just that it\'s 2005 and this s**t still should not be happening...y\'know racism doesn\'t even have to be on that extreme level as cross burnings,..let me give you two examples..

i was watching texas justice about a month ago..and they had this blackcouple and a white couple that have gotten into a car accident..long story short the white couple, ran into the back of the black couple\'s car...cop\'s was called and the white couple didn\'t have any insurance of the car..the judge asked "did you get a ticket?" they white couple didn\'t get a ticket and their car didn\'t even get towed..actually the white couple admitted that they were joking around with the said officer...ultimately the white couple paid for the damage, but c\'mon if that couple had been black, car would\'ve towed and tickets up the wazoo...

2nd example me....just last week i was comin home from work and there was this cop monitoring the speed of vehicles on this main street in piscataway,..anyway i\'m in a group of about 4 cars and i\'m the third car....now this cop see\'s me, bolts out...goes around the car that\'s behind me and rides up quick close to my bumper..after awhile he slows down, busts a u-turn in the middle of the street and goes back to his monitoring spot...*once he ran my plates and saw that i had insurance, he went back to his spot*....ultimately it\'s minor s**t, but it\'s s**t like that that pisses me off...when joey f**kin sunshine in the next car could be going to your house to chop you up with an ax....:rolleyes:

moral of the story:..leave me the f**k alone..if i\'m not doing anything wrong..i shouldn\'t have to go through bulls**t like that....

I understand about following the spirit of the law or following the letter of the law (or papers, as you put it). But the lawyers would shove that spirit right up our asses. When it comes to the Constitution, the language is very specific. Every now and then, the language is ammended to leave very little for interpetation.

Thats not exactly what I ment.
What are you going to do if an irrational,  immoral law appears?Will you remain passive?

hmmm there was a law or something to the effect of congress havin to vote on whether blacks have the right to vote in this country...every so many years..congress has to vote on whether afri americans can vote in this country...i think this was cleared up in another thread, but just the the fact that congress votes on such things is baffling...*too lazy to look up that thread*

Of course not! But we\'re talking about the Freedom of Speech. You can\'t deny that from anyone no matter who they are.

A guy in the Klan lives right next to you?  Sounds like some story from the Weird NJ website.  I suppose a group of albino midgets lives across the street too.  Where am I going with this Quddus?  The Klan is dead - and if your neighbor claims to be in the Klan he is most likely bullshitting you.  You are paranoid - you claim the Klan is everywhere when it is in fact nowhere.  

More than likely the guy next door is just a racist and knows how to get to you so he claims some Klan bs.  I live in the deep south and trust me when I say - the Klan is dead.  Sure a few idiots might still be running around in sheets, but its sort of like Big Foot - if you see one be sure to capture it on camera.

But the truth is that you are passive about a lot of things.

Huh? Do you know how many protests there are in the US everyday? What exactly do you mean, "I am passive about a lot of things"?

We\'ve got laws on just about every little thing here. Oh...shit...I forgot....YOU HATE AMERICA! Dammit...you\'re a waste of time in this regard coz you won\'t listen to anything positive about this country.

If you\'re not doing anything wrong what the fuck you worrying about then.

I saw a t-shirt once that said:

"I hate jews, spics, chinks, wops, pollacks, towelheads, krauts, frogs, zipperheads, hillbillies, honkys, (etc, etc.....you get the picture), but I love ni**ers!"

I wish I would have bought it. I would wear it in this thread. I also love the saying, "I\'m not racist, I hate all ethnic groups equally."

Seriously, tho. In the town where I work (Kenmore, NY) there are 3 patrol cars on duty at any given time. The town is one square mile. I see black people pulled over in front of my building about 6 times a week. I have yet to see a white person pulled over. HOWEVER- we listen to the police scanner, and 8 times out of ten, the people have either warrants or expired licences or no insurance. So I guess it is unfair racial profiling, but with odds like that, why wouldn\'t they? We actually bet on their law-abidingness, BTW. I\'m up $200 for the year so far.
