Double-standard Racism, lets discuss it. :D

[salem_wikkat]

When someone says "I'm not racist, but..." does it still mean the same if they are black, as it would if they are white and southern? I think it's an interesting debate since it's exactly how Jeezy starts his collaberation with Jay-Z with the track My President is Black. "I'm not racist, but I'm glad my President is Black." What's the difference of

They can try to claim him; but, forget race, I'm saying Obama is the Geek President.

Geeks, re-pre-sent!

Did you mean for this to go on Som_Pos?

[salem_wikkat]

Yes, because we've always had interesting debates on this topic before.

Could you at least put something so massively off-topic plus tl;dr behind a cut?

Oh yay! White people getting offended! =P Don't worry son, these uppity black people aren't going to take over and end the institutional racism that white people have had in place for centuries. At least not quickly. Maybe one day there will be true racial equality and then you can bitch about "OMG, black people are being racist", but right now, it's still a white man's country.

Bullshit. If it was a white man's country, then there wouldn't be an African Leader. =P So, feather on somewhere else, troll.

Honestly, it is. I've seen both sides of this. I'm white, and i happened to grow up in a urban neighborhood the was very racially mixed. Being one of the few white kids in the neighborhood, I got to experience this firsthand, when the cops came to raid our neighborhood park, who were the people that didn't get bothered much at all and was the first to be let go? Me and the other white kids. Who was cuffed and searched and maybe let go after a half hour? The black and Latino kids. God forbid if any real crime happened in the area. I've seen friends get arrested because they "fit the description" of a criminal, and it never seemed to happen to me, or any of the white kids. Strange, that

Let me tell you internets, how hard it is to be white...

"What's the difference of myself, or any white male saying, "I'm not racist, but I'm glad my President is white." If McCain had won

[salem_wikkat]

Again, bullshit. Stupid has no bounds of race or color, a moron is a fucking moron in my eyes. The problem is too many people are carrying the "Institutionalized Racism" banner. See, I got it twice in less than a minute on this thread alone. The simple fact Obama won by a landslide proves this to be untrue.

[sparkfrost]

Just because you don't want to see it doesn't mean it isn't true.

[salem_wikkat]

Okay, that's it. I'm fucking saying it: If Racism is as bad as you're trying to claim. Obama would of been lynched for considering to run for President. We'd of had a large bonfire and roasted hot-dogs while pointing at the uppity negro.

We didn't do that, now did we? No, Racism isn't that bad.

Oh, go nurse your wounded white male privilege somewhere else and quit trolling a webcomic community with wankbait.
