"a race that has no honor or sense of what's right" how would you charaterize him. That was part of a email from a Y!A user. This person claims to respect all people. Is this a contradictory statement?

Datbefat-seems to me the only ppl whose actions you don't agree with are blk ppl. Don't any whites do anything you don't agree with-lol. I'll get back to your "excuse" comment when your question clears voting.

Your delusional statement about be saying something about "thug" blacks being the the way they are bc of (& I love this one) their great great great whatever being in bondage was so ridicuous. If you don't want to hear that the self hate among some black ppl goes back to the culture of racism in this country-then pls by all means give me your theory. I find it strange when ppl are "bothered" by that. So many white ppl I know understand what I'm saying. (of course I'm sure you have a "name" for them). They are reasonable enough to understand that that is not an indictment of ALL white ppl present of past. Its just a FACT. Deal with it. You can't solve a problem until you get to the root of it. Basic psychology-you don't have to be an expert. If you are internalizing it, thats NOT my problem. Name just ONE question where I blame all white ppl for anything. JUST ONE.

Of course it is. Racists are the most contradictory and hypocritical people on Earth. Doesn't surprise me that someone would say that.

90% of your questions are based on how great blacks are and how horrible whites are. Then when someone throws a little what you would term "racism" back at you, you make a grandoise public statement about it!
You have a resolved question that says under no uncertain terms that the way some "thug" urban city blacks are because their great great great grandparents were in bondage! Oh, come on! Take responsibility for the here and now! Of course, we all know that it was horribly wrong to hold blacks in bondage, but there are dozens of other races that have been held in bondage in humanity's history...what about them????

It's inarguably a prejudiced statement. But my opinion of the person (racist or not) would depend a lot on the context and wich race. You could make some very sound and logical arguements that certain sub-cultures are dishonorable, for a given definition of honor.

It sounds stupid. Unless that person met every single person of every single race and proved scientifically that every other race had a sense of honor and what's right, and one particular race didn't. He'd still be stupid for even wasting the first breath of such an unfounded hypothesis. Unless he's talking about an actual bike or running race that pitted any sociopaths against sociopaths. Yeah...then that statement would be fair. He'd still be stupid.

Yes. This person is a hypocrite. He/she is lumping "a race" into a category rather than dealing with individuals and their differences. If he/she feels this way, then they should say "a person that has no honor or sense of what's right". It is not fair to stereotype ANY race. Period. Get to know the person!!

how is it "contradictory" of him when you only post part of his sentence?
a contradiction is more like this: when a person comes up with an excuse for the actions of a race but doesn't agree with what they are doing.....

I don't believe in "races", other than the human one. Any person who refers to a certain group of people as a "race" puts me on alert, because it tells me they are seeing the superficial differences in people, rather than the actual fact of our shared humanity.
Do people have different ethnic backgrounds? They sure do. Are those different "races"? No, they aren't.
Your correspondent is a liar, and does not live up to his claims of respecting all people.

Not really, if you consider that all People come out of one Race, the Human race. The Humans infected by beastialities from Genum, are not even aware that they are altered, and hold to their personal values.***END***

That in it's self is a racist comment. They are judging the moral structure of a race.
