Bertorama Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 I don't have a major contreversial statement on all the craziness surrrounding the topics at the heat of debate. What I do not buy into however is the ease of which the topic gets ramped up and how easy it is to jump on board to rev up the community with media driven allegations. TMZ broke this story. A brand that only cares about creating conflict and making money based off the shock response. Again I'm not supporting anyone.! What I'm saying is ........what's your right to not be perfect and what's your right to not always be on point. ...............What's your right to not have your personal conversations recorded and shared with to the world?. I'll tell you this. Humans are not perfect. We are stupid and we say dumb things. We will all burn in hell for some ridiculously stupid thoughts we've had and some moronic comment we've made. Again I don't support fascism racism or blatant ignorance. What I do want to ask you everyone is. ...... Doesn't this feel political ? Doesn't this feel staged.? Don't be too easily manipulated by thoughts that don't really reflect reality. Now all I want is your thoughts ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oliewud Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 I think the previous generation is still very racist and social media is just magnifying an issue that's still prevalent. you should be glad it's a hot topic because it's something we (as a species) need to correct.

erkayloomeh Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 Some people don't even know they are racist. In the words of Archie bunker, "if I've told you once I've told you a thousand times. I ain't racist, it ain't there fault there black". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mustapha Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RovF1zsDoeM People are always going to pre-judge other people, it's basic human behaviour. It doesn't mean that we shouldn't try to treat everyone with respect, but if you think we will live in a world where there is no prejudice, you are living a pipe dream.

Warhippy Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 What? I don't even know what I just read or where it came from let alone what it pertains to. But I will play ball. Did you know that racism against Caucasians is the only form of racism that is not only allowable in social circles and on television with a laugh, it is also the only form generally ignored and accepted everywhere. Make the same joke in reference to anyone of any other race creed religion or colour and you're a bigot. Call Jimmys mom a suburbanite cracker of a soccer mom and it's canned laughter all around. Racism sucks and is now and always has been the defense of a fragile mind and feeble intellect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

etsen3 Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 I'm assuming this is about Donald Sterling, and this is my take. I know humans are imperfect and sometimes say dumb things which is fine, but Donald Sterling is worse than "imperfect". This isn't a case of a normal guy making an offhand comment in the heat of the moment or taking a joke a little too far. Donald Sterling has shown repeated signs of being a racist and acting out his viewpoints (for example discriminating against non-Korean and black and latino renters). This isn't him just messing up one time. If most of the allegations are true, Donald Sterling is a legitimate racist person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-DLC- Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 Honestly, it isn't acceptable in any form so the jokes need to stop. WH makes a valid point and it's time that ALL forms of racism are eliminated. With that, this can go into the topic currently in progress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
