Racism against white people is the biggest problem in the world today




Actually it kind of is. But the sad part is that in the US the non-blacks make up 70% of the country.
I think it's great that blacks have gotten the equality they wanted. I hope they don't fuck it up.

Only works if you assume she's totally unaware of the historical connotations behind comparing black people to apes. So if you are going to posit that Roseanne is so socially inept, unaware, and too stupid to draw basic conclusions about language, so she can't be held accountable, then go ahead.


people call monkeys a lot on video games... and it isn't race fixed. actually thinking it is... is sort of racist.

That's what worries me about a lot of improper complaints of racism. Or unnecessary whining as I like to call it.

A lot of black folk gave up pretty much everything to become accepted in a generally white world. And now the whiners, might just fuck it up for all those that gave so much. ^^



/e This is what I mean when I say the whiners might just fuck it all up.

"Roseanne's Twitter statement is abhorrent, repugnant and inconsistent with our values, and we have decided to cancel her show," ABC Entertainment president Channing Dungey said in a statement.

The cancellation stunned Hollywood. Industry veterans said they've never seen anything quite like it. The revival of "Roseanne" premiered to huge ratings just three months ago. Pre-production was already underway on a second season, which was scheduled for Tuesdays at 8 p.m. this fall.



Making a point is one thing, Throwing away that much money, is just stupid, and NOT good for the ... black effort.

of all the biggest problems in the world today i'd rank it pretty low
we've got overpopulation, global warming, economic deterioration of the west, islamic terrorism, the chinese thought police worrying about the possible balkanization in their future after the age bubble bursts, the chinese neo-imperialism in africa right now as world powers very clumsily position for influence, the sunni-shiite sectarian conflict, the energy crisis, the hindu-muslim clashes, etc etc
somewhere down #67 or so I'd put the anti-white racism problem

So big lipped watermelon-eating depictions of black people isn't racist because, well, anyone can have big lips and like watermelon! You're a racist for thinking otherwise!

Ever heard of the Scopes trial?

/e @ Gooms. Sorry, didn't mean to ruin it for you. But I can't believe someone training to be a doctor, didn't know the context. :)
