slaveluci -> RE: HATE CRIMES = thought policing? (7/5/2007 2:29:05 PM)

I've been away from the forums for a couple days and logged back in today to find statements like this: quote:
"my virulent dislike of pale-skinned garbage" quote:
"insecure racist white trash" - "I suggest they all go back to their trailer parks" Anyone who claims they are not racists and then use phrases such as these is a very deluded individual. But, as is so apparent, it's OK to be racist as long as it's against the "right" race - the one who "deserves" it. Imagine the words "pale skinned" replaced with "black" or even "African-American," the words "white trash" replaced with "black trash," and the words "trailer parks" replaced with "ghetto slums." All the good non-racist folks would be having a coronary. It's so sad that the words that were used got almost nary a notice. quote:
This thread is actually full of racist thoughts; it drips with it You got that right. quote:
As for me, I have absolutely no qualms whatsoever about calling a spade a spade. It seems you do. Don't remember who exactly this was aimed at. But if "calling a spade a spade" means calling it as it is, then I've done that myself above. There's a great book by Jim Goad called "The Redneck Manifesto." I would like to suggest that everyone give it a gander. Don't let the title fool you or keep you from looking into it. The whole point is that classism is the bigger problem, not always racism. He is so spot-on about how racist hatred is unacceptable unless it's against the "white trash," "trailer park," "redneck" folks. Then it's fair game. To assume that all "trailer park" folks are racist is pure ignorance. The poorest whites, though often painted as the most racist, are hardly the ones with all the money and power to establish and carry on institutional racism. It's often said that to be truly racist, one must have power. And that, evidently is why poor minorities can never truly be considered racist.[8|] How much of that self-same power and money do poor "trailer park rednecks" have? No more than the poor minorites - none. So please, give me (and the rest of us po white trash) a friggin' break, huh?.............luci
