Social Science Racism

[the_interloper]

Who cares whether a white person or a black person invented something. Does that really matter?

The people who believe their race is superior to another are a blight on society.

Yes but certain races are superior at certain things though you'd have to admit. Black people are (generally) better at running and white people are (generally again) better at swimming. What I have a hard time figuring out is why white people are mainly quarterbacks in the NFL? Any guesses anyone?

Indian people cant swim
Japanese people are all short
Black people have amazing singing voices too
Black people develop six packs without as much exercise or need for a special diet
Black people have a... bigger package down there

Its true, white males are incredibly hard done by on this planet.

Makes me glad I'm an aboriginal woman, because I have it so easy in comparison to you.

Enlighten me (Not trying to provoke or troll, but merely interested to hear your comments)

Also we are all ******* Human, we are not that different FFS. Makes me so sad we are still dealing with this bull**** so far into the 21st century from white and blacks.

Aboriginal Australia says hi and would like you to visit their brand new 700 bed teaching hospital in Arnhem Land.

Oh wait...

Plenty of services in the cities... Don't confuse geographical differences to 'racism'.

 

[kaysee]

...
Are white men the only race to have shown the propensity to exhibit these behaviours? No, I don't think so. I'd go as far as saying every single race has exhibited something similair.

...

Certainly not, but it doesn't align with their own 'racist' viewpoints.

English and European people were certainly taken from their homelands, as slaves, by North African Ottoman/Berber races.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barbary_corsairs

...
While Barbary corsairs naturally looted the cargo of ships they captured, their primary goal was to capture prisoners on land or at sea and turn them into slaves. Once captured, the slaves were often sold or put to work in various ways in North Africa.

The historian Robert C. Davis has estimated that between 1530 and 1780 1-1.25 million Europeans were captured and enslaved in North Africa, principally in Algiers, Tunis, and Tripoli, with further captives in Istanbul and Salé.[15]

Sultan of Morocco, by Eugène Delacroix.Being captured was just the first part of a slave's nightmare journey. Many slaves died on the ships during the long voyage back to North Africa due to disease or lack of food and water. The ones that did survive the journey were made a spectacle of as they walked through town on their way to the slave auction.
...

Now many caucasians could easily take the attitude of: "How dare you be ignorant to the injustices served against my ancestors and my right to show pride and recognition in them over-coming such treatment"... but we don't.

The caucasian nations physically fought back, established policies to stop, and continued progressing. Barely, anyone in mainstream society would know about those racism fuelled injustices.

I guess social security, rap and street-cred hadn't been invented yet, so we couldn't write songs and have someone to blame about our failings.

No, no, but the white station owners on the Barkly Tablelands all have 700 bed hospitals on their properties, don't they?

Yes of course, but the ideals that only black people know how to live in Africa or black people can't be intelligent and well educated is absurd.

I think she was being literal not sarcastic. She is the one getting concessional home loan interest rates....

I find it weird her generation of Aboriginals didn't suffer yet is getting these benefits. At the same time our generation of other Australians didn't do anything wrong yet we are paying for them.
And she still feels the need to sook about how tough she has it.
No wonder people generalise about Aboriginals.

 

[kaysee]

Someone's been reading Ayn Rand.

Your post is absolute hogwash, btw.

Please explain how so???

My 'white' relatives live I Coober Pedy and accept the limitations to services that decision brings. Subsequently, I have friends from multiple races (including indigenous) who live in cities and accept the access to greater services.

So please provide current examples of 'racism' based inequalities?

Because its thought us black people are 'too dumb' or simply 'not smart enough' to play the Quarterback position in the NFL.

College has plenty of them, but a lot of them are running backs who can throw to be honest.

Players like Donavan McNabb, Mike Vick and Cam Newton are slowly bucking that trend of being 'traditional pocket passers'.

(African American btw)

Thats because youre an idealogist. Me personally, Im an Idi Amin fan myself. If anyone thinks racism doesnt exist within so called minority communities maybe they should look back to the Cowen Heights riots of 1991, or read up on the Aztlan movement. All sections of the community are capable of racism, its a HUMAN predisposition. Some communities just seem to martyr in it a little deeper than others. Just sayin

You have to be kidding?

Psuedo Intellectuals never get sarcasm do they?.................hmmmmmm

Only because black people have more generations of running away from leopards, snakes and rolls royces driven by racist white people.

Seems he got carded for it too. Thought it was pretty funny actually and obviously satirical, seems that racism is no laughing matter in any way at all.

Go back and read the context of the passage you just quoted. The discussion was about a claimed equality of access to health services, which is patently absurd.

 

[edgie]

Personally, wish I had of put the title as "White Pride: Legit belief or blatant racism?" or something to that effect

So we can't take the piss out of a racial stereotype anymore?

 

[edgie]

In your opinion.....................but guess what?........I have nipples too

You have said some agreeable things to which I can agree with, don't ruin it now

No worries... you simply show me the Caucasians living in Arnhem Land who have preferential access to health services and I'll happily concede that access based on 'race' is an issue.

Dont bother.......messenger is clearly running his own left wing agenda here. His approach to debate is condescending and ignorant. But maybe I may want to revisit that...............hey messenger?

Did you not post early on that everyone has the same access to healthcare in this country? Putting aside my teaching hospital hyperbole, do believe access is equitable in areas where Aboriginals make up a large portion of the population? I'm not talking heart transplants or even dialysis ( for which places like Alice Springs and Kalgoorlie are relatively well set up) but basic day to day health.

I'm not suggesting that is evidence of racism; I'm suggesting your original assertion is a rash generalisation.

A left wing agenda? Good grief. Grow up.
