Who's the Racist?

Personally, I would not want to go to their stinking conference. If this were the Women of Difficient Pigment Dialog :D We would hear nothing but the screams and tears of racism accusations. And the call of "white priveledge" is so "last hurricane news." :D Really now, is not the exclusion of an individual to an event, based upon the individual's skin color, defined as racism?

So my questions are "Since when is the racist not a racist based upon race?" and "?When is it politically acceptable to call a racist a racist when the racists race is an issue?" SHRUG??????

Organizers of a "Women of Color Dialogue" at Northeastern University in Boston were forced to open an event to all races after initially proclaiming that white women would not be allowed, according to the Northeastern University News.

Members of the Women's Studies and Graduate Consortium wanted to exclude white women from the first session of the dialogue. They said it needed to remain racially segregated in order to help the participants come together on issues that many of them felt were perpetrated by white people.

But after hearing complaints from two caucasian students, the Student Government Association and the school provost, the event was opened to all. Dr. Robin Chandler, director of women's studies and one of the organizers of the event, said she was disappointed by the demand.

"I think it's a shame that one or two white students based on white privilege, a lack of awareness of racial issues and a lack of generosity of spirit complained to the office of the provost and were able, because they were white, to gain admission to the morning session that I was forced to open up," Chandler said.

What about African albinos? They just need to read a book on Mitochondrial Eve

Healing Racism in the workplace, politically correct attitudes - Drives me nuts.

I attended a healing racism seminar and was asked if I thought I was a racist. My response was "I am sure I am not a racist".

The speaker asked how I knew and I responded:

"Simple. I'm sure because I know that I am extremely prejudice. I hate idiots that believe that their station in life, misfortune, or ability is based on what someone else thinks of them. For instance, I know two college grads that are waiters at a local restaurant. One has a bachelors in computer science and the other a Masters. Neither complain about the lack of work. I have a neighbor that says the reason he couldn't get an extension on his unemployment benefits was because of his color. And it's the man that keeps him down."

Then the speaker asked if my neighbor was black and I said:

"Doesn't matter, my neighbor is an IDIOT. He's a high school drop out and doesn't look for new work until after the unemployment benefits run out". "And as I said, I'm not a racist, but I am extremely prejudice".

Kind of blew the rest of the seminar as the premise was flawed.

/end rant

And I thouht we were all equal...People I am so tired of this racist crap because it get,s used as an excuse for everything these days and what happened to" innocent until proven guilty"???I live in a country which you all might know is one of the worst in the world regarding this issue..They say we all have equal rights!!!ya...duhhh..My point regarding this issue is.."If you cannot look beyond this or try at least to put that chapter in the past!!!" and concentrate on the future and all the good things that goes along with that, you are going to fall behind and might never have a chance to pick it up again.

I don,t say you have to forget about the past but be positive and allow others to also have their spot of sunshine in life..it is precious so live life to the fullest,be sincere,fair respect each other and don,t do onto others or wish onto them which you do not want to happen to yourself..:D

What about the United Negro College Fund? I'm pretty sure if I went out and started the United White Kid College Fund, I'd be called everything from racist to a member of the KKK to a bigot.

Until we stop focusing on race as a reason for anything, be it poverty, a college scholarship, or teen pregnancy, we will never truly be "equal".

Given that I am living in hell right now, I can assure you, it isn't frozen, but the temperature did drop a few degrees. :D

Well...........................I am a racist and the race in question is the 19.45 at Sheffield............and if that damn dawg doesn't deliver this time I will have his bawlz :D ...........he does have quite a good chance as it happens.

;)

If you want a movie to cnvince you how racist you actually are, watch "A Time To Kill". I never considered myself the least bit racist or prejudiced until I watched that movie.

If nothing else convinces you that you are racist, that everyone is a racist, that movie will.

Race...race...race....hummmmmmm...there are so many things to say...but let's clarify what a race is first...

eg...jews are not a race...they are semities like other arabs...so...to be anti-semite is actually to hate all arabs...
is semite a race...opps...no...

now...there are only three defined races of humanoid on this planet...and they were defined more than 100 years ago...these races were defined by bone structure, medical vunerabilities, etc...

they were not defined by color at all...

the groups were :

Mongoloid

Caucasian

Negroid

You might be surprised to learn that Indians, Pakistani's, and even some dark-skinned African tribes are the same race as white Scandinavians...in fact Caucasians represents the widest range of colors and backgrounds.

So...somebody should inform the KKK...:D

Eg ;)

There aren't any more races...than those three.

well that’s gotta be a first…a ruling in favor of white students.

And it WAS because they were white that the office of the provost ruled to grant them permission to enter….if they weren’t white they wouldn’t need the permission but im afraid it was a keen awareness of racial issues that got them in and not a lack of. A lack of awareness of racial issues tried to keep them out.

A good rule of thumb: if it’s a ruling in favor of black students it’s called justice. A ruling in favor of white students is called privilege

What about the United Negro College Fund?

Anybody remember Richard Pryer's “ignited negro college fund”…the mind is a terrible thing to baste!

No?….nevermind

I remember Tedob ;)

I just think that our kids are the ones who is going to suffer the most as a result and they are the FUTURE of any Country.They were not even a part of this sherade and honestly why should they suffer as a result of that..

I'm not racist, I hate everyone.

In the words of Jerry Shadawitz, "I'm an equal oppertunity offender" :fu:

<Edit>Edited to be more offensive to everyone.

Any member of a racial group unoffended by my post please go f**k yourself. Thank you.

Normally the biggest racist are the loudest when it comes to complaining about racisism. Aspman i will agree with that i offend everyone equally.

I'm surprised at the lack of maturity that Dr. has shown. She sounds no different than dinowuff's neighbor. She's an IDIOT!

And Eg hit it right on the head.

My friend, who is half mongoloid and half caucasian, has a girlfiend that is hispanic. And she hates all white people. Maybe I should tell her the truth muwahahahaha! Nah, she might commit suicide...

I have to agree to the sweeping sentiment here. It would seem that if the focus of the "Women of Color" seminar was to discuss the injustices the institution and white women impose on the Women of Color at that institution, they would want some white women there to hear it! Otherwise, it's just a bitch session (no pun intended). :bigsmile:

Maybe I don't know what it means, but I thought you either were Mongloid or you weren't, I didn't think being half and half was possible.

Why not? If you're mother was Mongoloid (someone from the Mongol region), and your father was Caucasian (someone from the Caucasus region), then you would be half Mongoloid and half Caucasian. A MongolCauc. Hmmm...maybe not. Perhaps a CauMon? C'mon..that's not right. Hmm....Maybe you can't be half-and-half. :D

Those women's worst enemy is their own self-imposed racism. Racism is everywhere...it always will be. Should it be? No - but it is. Their skewed perspective is the thing (if anything) holding them back. Whatever happened to pulling your ass up by the proverbial bootstraps and just getting it done?? Prove yourself through your actions....not your bitchfests, marches, protests, etc.

Actually...cross-breeding would not bring about other races...one would still fall into one category or another...

The three races are not area specific...so....Mongoloid does not refer to the area around Mongolia...it refers to the asiatic race

Negroid refers to the negro race

and Caucasian refers to the the white race ( which comprises europians, hispanics, south asians, some island dwellers, arabs/semites, and some African peoples : sudanese, ethiopians, and some others )

for decades this was the standard medical/scientific arrangement of the races until it fell out of favor with political correctness.

Eg ;)

Hey Eg...Last time I checked, Mongolia is in Asia, so quit being so picky. ;)

roswell
Mongolia is in asia but mongoliod could be used to describe a person of chinies descent living in america. :D

Mongoloid (or less often, and incorrectly, Sinoid) is a racial classification including peoples of North Asia, Central Asia, East Asia, parts of South Asia, the Pacific Oceania, the Americas, Greenland, and even a few of Eastern Europe. Earlier terms include "Mongolian race" and Asiatic. Some definitions have not included Native Americans.

Geographic range

Mongoloid or Asiatic peoples may be the most spread out among all human populations since they have stretched almost completely around the earth's surface as either natives or as conquering migrants. They can be found as far "east" as Greenland, and yet also as far to the "west" as Kalmykia, the Crimea, and even Scandinavia, giving Asiatic peoples or their descendants a historical presence across the vast expanse of four continents.


Negroid describes the racial classification of humans indigenous to Africa, where they predominate throughout virtually all regions of the continent. The term applies to one of a varying number of races defined by various racial theories. The word itself is derived from Negro, which in turn originally derives from the Spanish/Portuguese word, meaning black in color.

'Negroid' also has been used to describe a combination of human physical features that include a broad or flattened nose, kinky or frizzy hair, and dark skin pigmentation. There are other Negroid peoples, however, such as some Nilotic, Cushitic and Australoid peoples, who have straight hair and narrower features who are also considered 'Negroid'. The facio-cranial characteristics of the classic Negroid phenotype include rounded eye sockets, a rounded nasal cavity and maxillary and/or alveolar prognathism.


How about just humanoid.

wiki

EG;)

Hi Imitation,

Definitely humanoid :D

However...I was just clarifying what races are as opposed to the sub-classes we have made up along the way.

All three races can be found around the world but the original classification was not color or location oriented...it was determined by bone and medical structure...the names caucasian and negroid was merely a poor choice of words.

The definitions have changed over the years...modified...added to...such as mongoloid was once used to define children with down syndrome...I am using those words in their original context only.

I wish I still had that old scientific journal which went into depth on how they determined which went in what category...it was quite advanced for it's time...considering the non-racial grouping of hispanics, south asians, some africans, etc...in the same category as whites...well..it wasn't exactly a journal...the book was a hardcover edition about the size of a very large old atlas book...it was quite huge...and it covered a wide range of topics...mostly dealing with evolution and theory in medicine and science.

Hi roswell1329,

Picky? :D...Never! Not me...No way!
