Answer 1

I absolutely agree with you on the issue of getting in trouble or not. I cannot stand rappers who treats women like hoes, and it does not matter what color is their skin. Unfortunately, millions of Americans would rather listen to this C(RAP) then to their elders, teachers and preachers.

I still do not understand why "napped headed hoes" is considered to be a "racist" comment? And why white people get in trouble for calling black people an "N'-word, but they do not get in trouble for calling white people "crackers".

I do not like to watch Chris Rock and Carlos Mencia, because I think they are very racist, but look what happens? They are on TV all the time, because ratings are very high!

I believe that "South Park" is a very stupid show, but again it brings money to the channel, so it is on almost daily!

Statistically, you will see that more immigrants are working now on higher positions that naturally born Americans. More international students come to the US and get good proposals to stay, while American kids getting high on drugs, watching some dumb "South Park" or MTV cribs and collecting a welfare checks.

It is really scary what may happen to America in 20-30 years.

Answer 2

I wish I had the answer. I don't think we will ever solve the racism thing. It would be alot better if people at least kept their opinions on race to themselves. Opening your mouth only inflames the situation and starts a tit for tat war of words that serves no purpose whatsoever. I bet if Don Imus was getting his butt kicked by some hoodlums and a black person came along to help, he wouldn't turn it down. It's all so stupid........But, yes, there are different rules. Guys like Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton who are professional race baiters can get away with it and a white homey cracker like myself cannot. Double standards, they will divide and conquer us if we don't put a stop to it.

Answer 3

I think people should just suck it up.. If it's just words why care what people say? You have the choice of not listening to them. Sometimes the stereo types that each race/ nationality portray are true and it's good to laugh at ourselves no matter who may be making fun of us.. It's when threats are involved that it crosses the line in my opinion.. If someone White were to say to a black person," Hey Coon I'm gonna hang you from a tree" I would side with the blacks on it not being right.. same as when black people say " Whitie needs to die" That's not cool, and should be taken just as serious as the other.. But a comment like "Nappy headed Ho's" is hardly a crime.. just in bad taste at the time it was said..

Answer 4

We just have to live with the fact that we are all different and like it or not racism will always exist. We need to be free to express any view we have (however narrow minded it may be) because that is the only way that we will be able to hear the flip side of it. If we just hide all these sentiments under a rock then they will just fester and bring about our self destruction.

Answer 5

it will never end. If a white person says as much as fried chicken in the same sentence with an African American. They are criticized, and kicked off of whatever it is they are on. But a black person can make fun of white people all year 24 hr a day.

Answer 6

Of direction non-Whites may also be racist as good. In reality simply final week a few Asian lads have been despatched down for killing a random White child in Glasgow. But it is a little bit like home violence; even though guys may also be assaulted via their other halves, everyone knows that considering the fact that of the change in bodily and fiscal vigour, and the best way guys and ladies are and are introduced as much as be, critical violence and terror is overwhelming ly via guys in opposition to ladies. In the case of racism, Whites are nonetheless ninety four% of the populace of UK, and an excellent better percent on the richest and so much robust stages of society, adding the Police - so minorities are extra at risk of assault. In reality so much Blacks and Asians have skilled racist abuse, and really many racist assaults (because of this such a lot of pick to are living in locations in which they consider risk-free, locations which are extra combined); few Whites have suffered racial assaults, and even if they come upon a few variety af racial abuse, it hardly ever includes the equal degree of risk; on the finish of the day, Whites are in any such majority that they've no purpose as a institution to consider intimidated. One definition I have visible is that racism = prejudice plus vigour. If I am prejudiced in opposition to blond-haired humans, blondies would possibly discover me offensive or bizarre, however they on the whole may not consider that it makes so much change to their lives. But if I am prejudiced in opposition to Asians, in a local weather in which many others are also, I am facet of a whatever extra damaging and dangerous. I would upload that I am now not in favour of exclusive sentences for racially encouraged assaults - I imply, motivation has constantly been a aspect in sentencing, but it surely will have to had been left to the pass judgement on's discretion. We will have to return to the priciples of average legislation, that are flawlessly equipped of handling racist abuse and violence, with out giving a fake affect of unique therapy.

Answer 7

money is the root of it all, if fans wouldn't but the rapper's Cd's and pay good money to the concerts, as with the so-called comedy clubs, why each race has to make fun of another race, is beyond me, we're all in for a surprise I fear when we see the face of "GOD"

Answer 8

I'm with you. The whole thing has just been blown out of proportion.

Answer 9

Then you can say anything
Whithout hate there can be no love

Answer 10
