what excuses have been used to excuse racism?

Question

apart from "i have lots of black/asian/white, etc friends, so cannot be racist"

or

i am mixed race...

Answer 1

There's no excuse!

Answer 2

There is no excuse really for racism, you either are or aren't.

But once I saw on TV where this old white guy was in a fake cab, and the taxi driver pretened to hate black people and mexicans, and the guy said that Those people are only good for target practice, and something about if I don't want to , a Mexi-Can. after he got out, the TV guy went up to him and asked him if he really felt like that, and he got red, laughed it off and said it was an old Texas Joke.

Is that what you mean.

Answer 3

I have never ever made any excuse for being a racist. We are all DIFFERENT and only an idiot would say otherwise, when the proof is all around you. Just look at the magnificent achievements of Africa, for instance.

Charles Darwin, Enoch Powell etc have made the issue quite clear.

Look at your local zoo. Do they ever put different species in the same cage?


I rest my case.

Answer 4

i dont understand racism...whites think they r superior but then have to outsource to india.... blacks think the whites call them inferior but then they also win most of the medals in olympics.every race has some strenght and some weakness.jews thought they were superior ,then came romans then christians then muslims then british then germans and japanese then russians now americans ..very soon china and india ...and may be tomorrow even swiss or sudan or papua new guinea.
in the end we will all nuke each other and the apes will say they r.
hehe

Answer 5

The best excuse of all time "It's not racism if the other party is genetically flawed."

As in:

The Good Lord just made me better, than those other low lifes.

Answer 6

Answer 7

There should be no excuses worth listening to that excuse the ignorance of racism or any other isms come to think of it.

Answer 8

Sounds like you are talking about people lying to themselves that they aren't really bigots when they are. My all-time favorite is from All in the Family (1970s?)

"I'm not a bigot. I'm the first person to admit, it ain't your fault your black!" - Archie Bunker.

"We are just higher evolved than them."
"God made us better than them."
"We whites are the ones descriminated against these days."
"I'm Black. Blacks CAN"T be racist!"

Answer 9

"There really are differences between the races. It's a natural fact that some people are better at some things than others. We should just acknowledge it."

Answer 10

Well their is something called a persons word so that might be taken into consideration.

Answer 11

Lots and lots, but there is really no excuse for it.
