Yeah, do you see blacks singing vile racist songs? Do you see blacks all over the Internet spouting racist garbage? Do black people have the largest racist supremacist forum (Stormfront)? Have black people come up with 100s of racially derogatory slurs aimed at whites? Do black people deny job opportunities to whites? Do blacks pass policies that is disproportionately affects white people negatively?

FOH with your "both sides of the story" BS.
So blacks can't be racists, is that what ur saying? Everyone and anyone can be racist. Doesn't matter what ur skin color is.

Infact what u just wrote and posted above can be considered racist if anyone said it.

All I am saying is, look things objectively.
Blacks are not "as racist as whites". Thats what I am saying.

Listen hoe, ur attempt to group people into blacks or whites isn't working with me. Not everything is black and white, there are gray lines. I don't judge people based on what they look like or who they are, I deal with them based on their behavior.

Just do us a favor, since u aren't going far in life, orodoo isa soo talaal, so u don't burden humanity with ur genes.

Whilst racism is everyday reality in the west i'd add that countries like America im sure are one of the least racist places in the world.
Everyone is a racist but just to varying degrees. Usually the rule is that the higher up you are in the socio economic scale the less racist you are. So i dont buy into the narrative that some races are more racist than the other purely on the bases of their genetics.

No, but based on their culture. White people are notorious for having a culture that teaches their children that they are superior. You dont even have to go that far back, just in the last 100 years. The number of white racists to black racists is at a ratio of like 100 to 1.

White people love to bang on about how other cultures are inferior (AAs, Arab culture, Indian etc), but conveniently leave out how barbaric their own are.

Whilst what you say may happen i doubt it's mainstream across the population especially one that is liberal and shuns open racism.
Even if i were to suppose your statement is correct then how is is worse or different from other cultures/races such as the Somalis and Ethiopians who have enslaved and treat Bantus and Nilotes in a dispicable manner in the 21st century, Indians who have a caste system and look down upon negro looking people, East Asians who feel they are superior to everyone else especially negros and express this openly, Bantus who treat pygmys, Albinos and Somalis/foreigners/ethnic minorities worse than cattle. The reality is that racism is naturally ingrained in humans, it can be a defense mechanism from differences in phenotype combined with ignorance or can even be in rarer cases be pushed by some political viewpoint, the reality is that culture is merely a manifestation of all of these things.

I saw the Fraternity video. I didn't exactly understand, it was in our local news, very quick. Were they singing a rap song by adoons using the N word? Or were they making up song using the N word? Either way, it is weird, that white students would do that. That tells me they truly are trash. Oklahoma state is not a preppy ivy league school. But Oklahoma state is a republican Nazi state. They probably are used to hearing their fathers diss Obama. Obama has made white people feel threatened and uncomfortable. Before Obama. white people didn't even feel threatened, now that they have a black man who actually has power and makes they worried, they resort to a pathetic weak excuse of name calling. :eat:

Yeah, I also think its pathetic how Somalis treat Bantus.

If Somalia had a functioning state I'd be a politician, a left wing atheist liberal politician who would protect minority groups and immigrants from all the Somali racists. :lol:

The fraternity thing is typical white trash behaviour. There were no black people in the vicinity yet their minds are occupied with blacks. Obsessed creeps. Singing about hanging niggers from trees? Jesus f-king hell. Those are the same devils who go on rap videos on YouTube and fill the comment section with unadulterated racism.

Modern day USA belongs to blacks as much as it belong to whites (not ignoring the native genocide ).
Just like the strong anti semitism in the 1970s Austria long time after the Jews had left the country they were blamed for everything even after they were killed

I feel like there are certain groups who are really pushing for some kinda confrontation between the races. Every small incident becomes a national headline and even the white house gets involved in it.

And each side becomes more distrustful of the other and the cycle continues.

Minorities (including Somalis) really need to stop crying foul or racism at the drop of a hat.

Personally, I get alone just fine with everyone in person (Cadaans, Madows, Indho-Yars, Arabs, Mexicans). I don't believe anyone owes me shit or do i walk around with a chip in my shoulder. I might troll here, but offline, I am friends with every Somali I come across, regardless of Qabiil.

In all honesty, this is a Cadaan man's country and we are all just guests. Provoking them would do nothing more than stoke the fire. I am not saying u shouldn't stand up for ur rights and religion, but at least be sensible in choosing ur battle and look at the overall picture...which is, we are MARTI in their land.

Sorry, I just had to get that off my chest. :)
I guess history isn't your strong suit. This is not the cadaan man's country. This is a nation he stole from the indians then used blacks to build. America is alot of things. The cadaan man's country is definitely not one of them.
Maybe it's u who needs to read up on history. Sure, it was native Indian land before the arrival of the white man, but the natives couldn't have made America what it's today if it wasn't for the cadaans.

And for u to say blacks built this country, is laughable. During slavery, the blacks mostly worked in farms and plantations in the south. The north was already industrialized. 20 million blacks could not have build a country of 320 million people.
What country you live in? Cause I've lived in America since I was 7 and went through its public school system. Including taking American history classes in college. There were slaves in the north as well for most of America's history. http://www.ushistory.org/presidentshous ... w-oney.htm

When I say slaves built America, I mean the physical landmarks we associate with America were built with the hands of slaves. For example, most of Washington DC (the capitol of America) was built by slave labor. Including the white house. The first slaves came in the 1500s with the Dutch when they arrived in New York. Which was called New Amsterdam at the time because it was a Dutch colony. Since then, slaves were found all over America.

the idea slaves were only in the south and worked on plantations is a MYTH.

black people don't have enough power to be racist. being a racist ain't singing nigger on a song. or even calling someone nigger. its having the power to make decisions that are detrimental to the economic or social wellbeing of another.

the police in ferguson = racist
the white employers in oklahoma = racist

some black people saying they hate white = NOT racist

when black people have enough political and economic power to dominate whites, then we can start talking about them being able to be racist. till then, words are not enough.

Why are blacks allowed to each other nigger but they cry foul when another race says the same thing they say to each other. Black people should stop using the word nigger and nobody will use it against them.


P.s

Rich niggers don't do shit for their people but people expect cadaans to do it? FOH...
