Are you one of those people that suggests that if you don't say n*gger then you're obviously not a racist?

No?

Were you expecting me to say yes?

Email of Ferguson officer: Mudd, 64, was linked to an email sent in November 2008 which suggested Barack Obama “would not be president for very long because ‘what black man holds a steady job for four years?’

Mmm yes you were right. No one there has twisted views. NOPE.

Do you understand that this is supposed to be a joke?

Do you understand that the people sending it aren't aware of the harm or damage it causes?

Mmm yes you were right. No one there has twisted views. NOPE.

No, they don't. They are uninformed, they are unaware, but they aren't evil, they aren't twisted, they don't hate black people.

A different argument I saw had a similar link in it. The very first quote was the officer apologizing and saying he didn't realize it was racist.

Now, you could be cynical and say the person was just hiding his true racism, I guess? However, I tend to assume the person is telling the truth.

Did you actually type this out thinking it'd make you sound intelligent and credible? Please post all of these well researched studies that apparently single handedly taught you all there is to know about discrimination. I was not aware that such things existed!

I am talking about studies that show that people act differently around black people, that people stereotype black people, and so on. I have no links to them, because they were seen in the past, probably linked randomly on reddit or other places.

Those things are legitamate and honest, scientific, research. Single videos of a person in a store are meaningless when you are talking about an entire nation.

Then how do you suppose we go about things, oh wise and all knowing?

I kind of imply above, but I made another post on this already, with someone who is far less sarcastic, and far better at typing responses.

Also you basically refused to acknowledge someone's evidence with no real reason. "a single person in a single situation." Honey you're cute if you think this is an isolated case. REALLY adorable.

I... don't... I just said in my above post that I have seen studies that show such things occur around the entire nation.

My point is that a single video like that is emotional bait. It's the same thing I tell to vegans who try to get me to watch earthlings.

There's too much ignorant to even touch on in your posts.

So, please, tell me why I am wrong.

"The perfect person doesn't exist, and we all make mistakes and have flaws." Especially when you're attempting to pull out these types of holier than thou comments.

Yes, because I am aware that you can't expect everything of everyone. However, when I talk about what people should do, I am going to talk about this "perfect person". The person who does everything in a moral way, and always does what is right.

That is who we should all try to be. However, nobody is perfect.

I mean you attempt to call out eightbitsamurai with the whole "not being a black person isn't a valid argument." Yet you pull out bull like that. Practice what you preach. Really, the whole no-one-is-perfect defense is 1000x weaker.

With that I was trying to say that I don't expect people to go out and sacrifice their own good for some higher cause. I was trying to say that despite a thing being the "good" thing to do, we shouldn't expect people to do it. Doing what is right doesn't mean you have to do everything right. Knowing and saying global warming exists doesn't mean you have to abandon all use of CO2, for example.
