don't condone his opinion, but tolerate it.  because you can't change people.

So someone that posted in this thread that lives at our house wouldn't help a black person in need of a jump because he thought he was going to steal his car.

tell him he's legitimately retarded if he thinks he has any reason to actually hate black people. "races" of people are completely made up, and if there is anything about the black CULTURE he dislikes, he can probably find its roots in the douchebaggery of white people as retarded as him

Whether we like it or not, people are entitled to their opinions?

Let's what happens when we allow people like this to have their opinions:

Or how about just the big 3?

Slavery
The Holocaust/World War II
Apartheid


That's what I'm talking about. I'm saying that people who are fucked up and allowed to express their opinions (sort of like if NAMBLA were allowed to act), that's fine, but if no one tells them their wrong, then they begin to act upon those opinions.

which would mean if knowing 4 shitty black people and 3 are shit heads then that means the black population are 75% shit heads if you used the same scale for all of them.

good logic.

a cultural relativist. like you really believe shit like being racist is wrong because in some cultures(probably too broad of a term) its to be racist and it just a facet of their system of beliefs

Well, I don't think racism is "wrong" since a person's opinion is neither wrong nor right... more like I think racism is.. well, retarded I guess.

there are these two brothers i work with that are the nicest dudes ever. they're twins, big football players and they'll go out of their way to help you. But they also have the most racial hate out of anybody, its just how they we're brought up. i dont hold it against them, they just hate black people cause they were taught that. we can't all be ideal cultural peace keepers

you really think that the essence of racism isnt inherently wrong? because in reality racism at its core isnt a matter of personal opinion, its a widespread accepted ideology

Racism is something that people believe in to hate a black person, an asian person, or a mexican person to name a few based on either their own personal experiences with them or how they were raised. Nothing I say will make them change that fact and I will be honest everyone is a little racist in some form once in awhile. No one is perfect in this world.

id argue that the roots of racism go way deeper than an individuals personal experience. i think its safe to say that the majority of people who hold racist views have never really experienced such a traumatizing event that would cause them to hold such ignorant ideas about other human beings. and theres definitely a difference between casual stereotyping, which i agree everyone shares, than outright racism. no one is perfect in this world seems like a pretty apathetic excuse. just because you cant change their views doesnt mean you should accept them and try to live symbiotically with them

See, I am nonchalant cause I have been on the receiving end of racism. From both white people and "colored" people. Quite honestly it comes to a point you no longer give a shit anymore.

that just means he is sexually attracted to other guys, that doesnt make him open minded.

i know a ton of people who are slightly racist. shit, im a little bit racist and my girlfriend is asian and one of my best friends is black.

theres a difference between being a racist and being exposed to stereotypes over and over until you realize there is some truth to them, sometimes. stop trying to be so fucking PC everyone.

as long as the kid isnt commiting hate crimes or expressing his views publicly then let him be.

  Ive thought about that before. Hit a wall.

 Kinda like, why does he hate black ppl? Prolly his dad's views passed down. But we can't know that for sure.

 Now the goal, or at least my goal, when I meet a racist person, is to try and get them to understand a human is a human. And all humans derseve some sort of basic respect.

  So I dunno, shits a conundrum. The best way would be if he met a older wiser african dude and actually got to know the guy a little. But with him being a rasict, he would most likly be stubborn, ignorant and completely avoid that type of situation.

too many conundrums in society in this day and age

I think people take racism to seriously these days. Maybe some places its still bad but for the most part its gotten better... everybody's a little bit racist... some are just more so than others.

plus he cant be racist, he has a black president.
