White SATS

You lost me after the word sociology...

I am with Zesty and Diabeu (SP?) on this.

Now why do you think it is called "reverse racism"?  How is different from just plain old racism?

...and have missed an oppurtunity at a job to someone of another race who was unqualified and the manager knew it and so did everyone else.

How can you be so sure...?

Well, so far you have mostly ranted, as best I can tell.  Not much to listen to or discount, really.  I will happily carefully address a specific point.

Why is it not possible that I am the victim? Because that's the way you make it sound.

You might be a victim - but you haven't mentioned being a victim so far (unless I missed it), only ranted.

Why is it not okay for me to voice my opinion as a white man?

Of course it is ok.  Your opinion may or may not be ok, but the voicing thereof is (almost) always ok.

Why do you say that?

Like I said...

From my point of view, this is a big problem in most of society. We try so hard as a general public not to offend any poor, abused minority. But people have no problem dragging old whitey through the mud!

After all, we brought over the slaves, took the Native Americans land, and have since then held down every minority so that we can have total white power....or at least that's how most close-minded lemmings think about it!

The school system is whacked...you get to be proud to be Mexican/Hispanic, Black, Asian, Indian...basically anything OTHER than Caucasian!

Yes, that's right, White kids are taught to be ashamed of who they are and have no pride in their race, while it's just peachy if a black dude wants to say you're a honky racist mo'fo and fly a black panther flag. Hypocricy? Of course, this is America.

Quite simply, in this country, a black dude can make a television show dissing whites and every other race, but if a white dude was the host of the TV show, there would be an uproar that he is dissing all these other races.

Why is it okay for a black or mexican dude to state their opinion, but when a white dude does it he's a racist?

Personally, I don't care. I grew up in a 99% mexican community, and I don't give a crap who thinks I'm a racist. I know there are genuine'y good people from all walks of life, and I know each race also has their set of scum that represent them.

IMHO, we are far enough removed from the days of inequality that we all need to just **edited** about all this racism garbage...if anything, the white man is getting the short end of the stick because we have gone too far to try and kiss minorities butts.

I'm no racist, I just actually want things to be fair.

Giving a less qualified person a job just because of their race is just as racist as not letting a black man eat at a diner....if you are more qualified than the next guy, you should get the job. It shouldn't mater that you are whiteand he is black. If you can help that company more than he could, he shouldn't get the job.

But in this country it's not fair unless the poor, innocent minorities get their handouts...which to me is not fair.

one of the teachers at my school is a white power activist. i have proof, she dropped a flyer and picked it up mad quick but i saw "kkk" on it and a pic of sum black dude hangin from a tree i wished i could punch her in the face but id get expelled and my parents would eat me with a fork

Hm, im startin to think people just read too much into the whole race thing. I mean goodness how many times can a person spout. "He faahrd me cuz im a hillbilly, dag nabbit!" Or "He just be racist against mah people!" People cant admit, you failed the test because you are a moron and didnt study. Or I fired you because you never came to work on saturday because you were hungover from friday night.

No one is acting like a victim.
