What is Racism? by Thomas Jackson

The following article was Originally Published in American Renaissance, Vol 2, No. 8, see http://www.amren.com/

What is Racism? Everyone talks about "racism" but no one ever defines it. AR's assistant editor has given it a try:

There is surely no nation in the world that holds "racism" in greater horror than does the United States. Compared to other kinds of offenses, it is thought to be somehow more reprehensible. The press and public have become so used to tales of murder, rape, robbery, and arson, that any but the most spectacular crimes are shrugged off as part of the inevitable texture of American life. "Racism" is never shrugged off.

For example, when a white Georgetown Law School student reports that black students are less well qualified than white students, it sets off a booming, national controversy about "racism." If the student had merely murdered someone he would have attracted far less attention and criticism.

Reminds me of the South Park episode where Cartman hits Token (the only black kid, get it? of course you do) and the boys end up making a presentation called "Hate Crimes: A Moral Hypocracy" or something to that effect. The episode also illustrates (indirectly, thank God) the practical, applicable uses for Cartman's big fat ***.

American Renaissance is by far the best-disguised Racist Forum I have ever come across - take this "leading article" as a prove: Hispanic Family Values

Jesus, Leiany, I didn't write the ******' article...I posted it for "discussion" - of which, I notice, you provide none. Another stellar post by All-Knowing Leiany!!

Get your head out of your ***.

Oh, and are you going to follow me around the forum now, sniffing my *** and trying to lick my balls? 'Cause that would be super!

My opinion...too many people, too many causes. I'm not racist; I discriminate against everyone equally.

Racism is complicated, true. I was interested in this article because of the agressiveness of this editor to "turn the tables" on racism as we commonly understand it. It's shocking, really. I read that he was trying to claim that to be racist is only to degrade white people. A strange take on the topic, I think. I wonder if other white folks feel that racism is converse now; that it's actually white people who are being discriminated against now as opposed to the usual groups. What do you think?

positive discrimination has always been the achilies heel of racism issue's 'How equal is equal'

Look at the situation in Zimbabwe, yes the previous white govenment treated sections of it's people badly <Black and coloured as they are called in southern africa> but they did leave behind a vibrant and stable ecconomy and food production system based around rich white land owner true but the majority where happy with the arrangement and black africans could and did take over farms if they where able. Now the country has decended into anarchy with freedom for all <except whites any black not of the same tribe as Mugabe> but food for none

Yes i want the person next to me to be treated the same as me regardless of his colour but i don't want the company boss to have to take a less able worker because he is scared the he will be seen a racist if he chooses me not the indian/mexican/african that also applied.

the only person on this forum ever to poat anything remotely racist was Skeeter and that was a Ironic post that was funny and well written but could have been taken the wrong way if you were overly sencitive.

I have a question to throw into the fold:

If i am driving down a road and a Chineese driver nearly runs me of the road, if i scream ' You ***** *******' am i racist or just an annoyed driver?

Hmmm. Annoyed driver, certainly, since the catalyst for you yelling is the poor driving on the part of the other driver. That being said, it is interesting that you choose to include ethnic origin in your angry yaulp toward said other driver. I am not sure if this makes you out and out racist, but it's food for thought.

Discriptive though in the same way that i could put 'Black *******' or 'stupid blond *****' or Redneck *******' etc etc .

i feel that Racist is sometimes, not always but sometimes over played and that damages the ligitemate complaints.

Alot of articles like this have been finding their way into the local papers in the eastern parts of the US. After reading the last one I handed it to my husband who replied, "UH OH looks like the pendulum is about to swing back again."


I always found the Puerto Rican take on the subject interesting. Where I grew up in Florida, whites were the minority and I ended up with mostly 'Rican friends. The thing I love about this culture is they don't give a **** what the "whites" think and therefore rarely blame them for their current state if they are poor.

I've asked numerous friends that are black and latino if they feel the "sting of prejeduced" often.

9 times out of 10 those that were black answered "Yes" and offered their stories.
10 times out of 10 those that were latino answered, "What the f*ck are you talking about? I don't give a **** about that let's go to a movie. Damn where you get all this **** from?" Then they asked if I could spot them a ten.

example:

A Sergeant in the Britiah army has brought a 'racial discrimination' case against his boss because he felt that he was treated badly when he was passed over for promotion because his boss said he was incometent and 'would never have that man as a warrent officer in my army'.

The officer as it turn out to be a complete chimp and did pass the sergeant over for promotion, but he also had a personality clash with another 'White' Sergeant that he also passed over for promotion. All the guy did was weaken the position of those who are really being discriminated against by using the racism arguement where a simple personality clash would have been more accurate.

Ali G has a catch phrase 'Is it because i is black?' which he uses whenever anyone in his scetch disagree's with him, this is a parody of course, but all parodies are a magnification of reality.

hehe i remember that episode of south park where cartman makes a racist comment and gets a hate crime on him, hehe the judge is like " now hopefully youve learned something from this...next time you start a fight with someone, u better make damn sure he isnt black." lol that was a hilarious episode.

Few racists actually acknowledge their racism. I'd rather know someone is racist than have to deal with people that have preconcieved notions about me because of my culture and skin color which only truly surface in times of stress.

Nothing quite like having someone you liked and trusted call you a name or tell you a racist joke.

You mean you didn't care for my joke about the Mexican Olympic team? It's true, ain't it? Everyone who can run jump or swim is already picking grapes in California. ;)

I never get why people get offended by jokes, they are jokes after all and are by there very nature highlighting and magnifying a stereotype. I have heard and laughed at more 'Englishman' jokes than i care to remember. or how many men jokes for that matter.

if i discriminate against you be offended, if i tell a joke look at the base humour and laugh.

A would-be lawyer, isn't that sweet :)

You can not diminish my argumentation in discrediting my motivation. If someone posts a link to a racist crap site without stating in the original post his opinion differs clearly from the link - then he is in support fo the ******** he linked, easy as that.

Is there a competion in cowardness on this board Tare wants to win by all means?

Making things big or bold doesn't mean we take your post any more seriously.

You asked for an opinion.
