One of my pet peeves.

One of my biggest pet peeves is when little kids run around using the word Racism in every sentence.

When someone says "That African-American girl doesn't look very happy" because they don't know their name and that's the only way they can describe them, someone will be like "That's racist".

I just got a -Rep from a little nub dave that says "racism" when I was talking about the Bible in a non-offensive manner.

What about talking about a Bible has to do with Racism? -_- I don't care about a single -rep, it's not like reps matter to me that much, but I just got annoyed at the idiocy of the rep.

How often does someone at your school or home just throw around the word racism even at an irrelevant time? Do you get annoyed at their ignorance as much as I do? -.-

Agreed, they need to learn the difference between classification, stereotyping, and racism.

And Christians aren't even a race. 1xd1 You can't be racist.

Oh right! The same guy -rep'd me!
I repeated a short sentence only once, and saying me useless spam!
Does that actually affect the EE Bible?.. uh.. or he thinks im also racist with you because i wanted more!
My rep is currently low, so i'd mention more about it. Maybe we need to report dave!

Re: One of my pet peeves.

Despite all that is going on this is really just one of topics where some child cries about their rep.

Turn off your rep, then turn on world peace mode.

Re: One of my pet peeves.

I know exactly what you mean. I called a guy an idiot because he truly was an idiot then I got told I was apparently being racist because the guy happened to be black :/
Why do people get so sensitive when it comes to like black people? You can't say anything about them because people will automatically think you are racist...

Re: One of my pet peeves.

I agree 100% i mean when a black guy calls some kid white at my school no one calls him racist, but as soon as that white kid says that that black guy's being mean he's automatically called a racist.

It's just stupid

Semi-Off-Topic: I love it when people call South Park racist. It's hilarious, because no ethnic, religious, or miscellaneous group escapes the wrath of South Park writers. No one

But yes. Thank you, I feel the exact same way. I go t a school that is 95% black, 3% white and 2% other.. So I have to be very careful :/ but I have noticed that apparently only white people can be racist.. For example, if someone says "woah it's really black outside" that's racist, or "I don't like you" it's racist. But one time, in history, a black kid screamed out "I HATE WHITE PEOPLE" did anybody say anything?

NOPE.

We lived in a **** up world.. People need to see that even though slavery happened to blacks, it did NOT only happen to them. White Christians are being persecuted in other countries, heck, black people even sold EACH OTHER into slavery before America was even discovered.

One thing that Obama did right in his much too long term was to tell black people essentially to get over it. I mean it was a horrible, horrible thing, but they can't blame my generation, who wasnt even alive to see it, much less participate in it, for it.

Re: One of my pet peeves.

I wish everybody thought the way that people in this topic think.

It is racist to specifically say "I hate black people, they're all no-good idiots." or "I hate those fat, snobby white people."

But that's never the case... I don't think I've ever heard a legitimately racist comment in my life.

And I have, it was directed towards the Caucasian race saying "All white people are racist." which is a semi-racist remark. But how did I take it? I didn't give a ****. Why can't people learn to take things that are racist better and learn to differentiate racist remarks and normal insults...

More white people are more sensitive to comments about black people than black people are, in fear of being called out as a racist. So they call other people out as racist for comments about someone's race even when they aren't racist.

Say someone is asking me who I want to win a contest. There's a white guy, a black guy, and a white girl. I can't remember their names, so I say "the black guy". Is that racist? Maybe some ultra-sensitive person will say it is, but it's not. I haven't made any judgements about this guy based on his race. I've simply used his race as a way to describe the person I want to win. If I had said I wanted "the girl" to win, would that have been sexist, using her gender to describe her? No.

There's nothing wrong with using race/sex to describe someone, as long as you're not using race/sex to define them. And if you say that some black guy is an idiot because he's stupid, that's not racist. It's not any more racist than calling a white guy an idiot. If you're calling a black guy an idiot because he's black, then yes, that's racist. Either way you're sure to get some ignorant person tell you you're being "racist" because they think that "everyone is equal" means we shouldn't acknowledge our differences.

Hm? It would be perfectly okay to say what I just said to a 'nooby' person. Everybody would tell them to stop crying about their rep, and that it's just a number and ect...

I find they are suffering from some form of discrimination when almost unknown forum user gets more hateful comments, and the well known one gets respect.

Buzzerbee has already stated that this is not about his rep, it's about misuse of the term "racism", which has potential as a discussion. You've ignored this and continued to derail the thread. If you continue, a warning will be issued.

Damn. Gotta stop listening to that voice telling me to fight the system.

I agree, this world is run by idiots, with idiots screaming "RSACIST!!" everywhere you look.

Re: One of my pet peeves.

I hate people that say it is racist, when it isn't. I absolutely hate how like other people say, black people don't get in trouble for it, but white people do. One time a black person in my grade called me white trash, the teacher wasn't mad, when I told him that he can be really dumb and annoying, kids called me racist. I mean seriously, the people that aren't getting some in trouble, but others in trouble, can actually be a little racist

I hate how this topic is so truthful I can't even say "I hate black beans" without some idiot going "OMG RACSIST"

Sometimes I hate this world and everyone in it
