Why are so many white people so afraid of being called racist?

Question

Don't these white people realize that the racist label, when used 80%+ of the time, is a word game invented by the left so as to not make them take pride in their race and call a spade a spade as to the behavior of other races?

Another similar label is 'homophobe', but the left has thus far failed to get that into widespread acceptance. So why are there so many apologists on here afraid of being labelled racist and start their responses with "I'm not racist, but.."?

Are these the same kids that cried when called a name during recess growing up but are now all grown up?

Why do they feel the need to put a "I'm not a racist" disclaimer at the beginning of their messages?

Are they afraid of being called a racist if someone else disagrees with their opinions?

Look at Weatherman's response. Typical whtie apologist. He is ASHAMED of who he is sometimes because of the behavior of other whites he disagrees with. What a lowly position to take in life to be honest. Weatherman please renounce your race we don't need you.

Answer 1

Because they are gutless weiners. They have been taught the lib lines, they feel quilty for things that they didnt do and they are scared little knot heads. Basically, they have been brainwashed by the last fourty years of liberal nonsense and they refuse to grow out of it.

And personally, I have never really cared if others find or call me a racist, bigot, mean bastard or anything else. I simply say what I have to say and I offer up the reasons for my opinions and points of view.

I have always figured that if someone could not refute my arguments on the facts and with logic, then they are simply trying to use their bogus charges to shut me up. In many cases, I take pride in being called a sexist, hater, bigot, woman hater or other things, for it only points out that I am right and the other side cant do anything but name call, for they lose on merit.

DONT EVER LET OTHERS MAKE THE RULES OR SET THE STANDARDS FOR WHAT YOU CAN SAY OR THE WORDS YOU MAY USE, WHEN YOU CAN SAY IT, HOW YOU SAY IT, ETC. IF YOU DO, YOU AND YOUR FREEDOMS ARE IN GRAVE DANGER.

Answer 2

Rubbish

Racism & Homophobia are real problems in modern day life, they are not just labels.

And to say racism is just a way to stop whites being proud of their race is complete crap.

I'm white, and proud of who I am .... However I'm somethime ashamed of being associated with others of my race because of their bigoted attitudes to others

EDIT

I'm a white appologist am I, just because I don't like racist bigots like the question asker.

And people wonder why there is so much rasial tension in the world.

It's down to idiots like the asker who refuse to accept that EVERYONE IS EQUAL, no matter what their skin colour.

I'm as against "positive discrimination" towards those seen as being disadvantages as I am against your sort of discrimination against them.

That makes me a normal human being, and I'd rather be that than some sort of neo-nazi white supremacist like the original poster

Answer 3

You've done your homework. Good job. If I disagree with someone asking a question that may or may not be relative to social or racial elements, I could care less it they think I'm racist. I have no interest in being so and consider myself to be open to all people. The accuser is usually the one with the issues.

Answer 4

Being a racist (on both ends) is shameful indeed.

There is a HUGE difference in being proud of your heritage and hating others just because they are born.

There is no honor in putting others down, hating and killing innocent people.

Racism makes no sense.

You don't want to know about other people's cultures, so you hate something that you don't understand.

Racism is based on malicious lies.

Since you know nothing of other people's cultures, you make up a reason to hate them.

Truly, racism is ignorant.


There is no honor in ignorance.
Racism is truly nothing to be proud of.

Answer 5

Whites are not afraid of being called racist anymore. Whites love to use reverse racism, nowadays. Your question is a prime example of it. The sad part is, the whole world is falling for it. Whites make themselves the vicitms for having to "tiptoe" around racial tension, they sparked 300 yrs ago. Now everybody is paranoid except the white man,(ok, yea, sure, whatever). You hear ignorant mess like " the blacks and mexicans are taking all the jobs, because of affirmative action" Please spare me, friend, the blacks still outweigh the white populace in poverty and low education rates. This needs to be addressed. God help us.

Answer 6

i think because of all the racism whites have been known to over all these years they don't want to be included in that group of racism that occurred and i hate that some questions asked by white they put that "i'm not racists"in every question i don't think they need to when i feel they do that i see the question as racists

Answer 7

Agreed. But keep in mind the stigma attached to the word.

White people naturally have the right to be proud of themselves and their culture and their accomplishments. But to be labeled a "racist" is the equivalent of being labeled a "heretic" in the 17th century. It effectively ends the discussion.

We have to fight the good fight though, don't we?

Answer 8

They are simply afraid to accept the truth.
Sometimes the funny thing is they're alright to be called prejudice. which is almost racist.

Answer 9

Answer 10

Put plain and simple: People are afraid of the truth about themselves!
