re: Rebel makes his first public appearance

You can't argue logic with an idiot, our younger generation nowadays are taking steps to put our racial differences and tension behind us, it is something that needs to be forgotten. For the most part, I have noticed being in college that whites and blacks get along just fine. a normal black person is no different than a normal white person, we may have different cultures, but nobody is worse than the other. When I meet a black person for the first time, I treat him/her with the same respect I would anybody else, then make a judgement on them based on their personality, morals etc. just like i would anyone else. Where you see racial problems nowadays is your "thug" black people who are most likely poor and uneducated. These types pull the racial card out to try to receive a free handout from a white person who is better off financially. But these "thugs" are no different than your common white trash(who are also likely uneducated and therefore raised to be racist without knowing any better) who are in the same situation and looking for free handouts, only difference is the black ones have the advantage of using "they are being racist' to their advantage. Then you have extremist,like jesse jackson, who spew hate. These people are racists bigots, and are no different than the KKK people. There are racists and extremists on both sides, and always will be, but for normal, everyday person there are very few racial problems anymore like there was in the 60's. We have made good strides to get rid of that way of thinking, and need to continue to do so because you have to deal with people of every race in the real world everyday, might as well learn to accept them and their culture for who they are and get along with them.

Nobody will care about what? I know people will be all bullshitty and panicky over it. I'm better than that though because I'm not a paranoid retard.

What will you be right about? That things will change? fricking badass prediction you've got there Nostradamus.

Use paragraphs. It'll make your posts much easier to read.

And you've got a point. A lot of the problems people have nowadays are seeded in economic woes. I honestly believe that a wealthy white person would much rather associate him/herself with a wealthy black person than a poor white person.

Living in DC, I see some of the extremes of both groups. Whereas Southeast DC is one of America's worst ghettos, the DC workforce and general DC area has plenty of very wealthy, powerful, successful black people. I'm talking about black doctors, lawyers, educators, lobbyists, and so forth. It's a very interesting dichotomy and has really challenged some of the "norms" I grew up with and accepted as a Mississippian.

Canton.

I've missed that place. I've been in Washington for several years now and, while I really like it, I definitely wanna end up back in the Deep South before it's all over and done with.

A bright future of what? The athletics will always be mediocre at best, the academics will always blow, and the majority of your students still don't like black people.

Its true. They would never admit it in a survey...but this generation is not some trailblazing, forward thinking group.

wow.....you're an idiot.

Agreed.

The key is to rise above it, including thinking your world view is superior to all others and no other should be tolerated.

Just because I disagree with out doesn't mean I don't tolerate you expressing yourself. Methinks you don't know what "tolerance" is. And just because I may think a position is inferior (Why else would we have these debates if there wasn't a mutual idea that our personal arguments are superior? That's how a debate works.) does not, in any form, mean that I think that the person with which I'm debating is inferior.

I may think my ideas are better, but I don't at all think that I'm somehow a better human being for it. I just see things differently and think that the ideas I have are the most applicable and well-reasoned. I trust that you feel the same way about your ideas. That's how ideas work.

Liberals think they are right about everything and any dissent is ridiculous and has to be crushed.

What does this have to do with anything? Where does "liberalism" come in to play? Who in here gave a liberal opinion? And since when have liberals advocated the "crushing" of dissent? I guess I didn't realize that liberals were having conservatives jailed and sending their police forces to Tea Party to gun people down en masse. (Yes, that's how absurd you sound when you suggest that liberals "crush" your dissent. If "crushing dissent" is being a smartass over the internet, then, yeah, I guess liberals do that. Just don't bitch about being "crushed" to people around the world who actually ARE.)

My view is you are entitled to your opinion right or wrong and we should agree to disagree and debate the issues with some semblance of civility.

You've just called me a coward and a hypocrite. You also said you were disgusted with the place I live. Yet I am the one who isn't being civil?

quote:

---

NOT with code words such as "racist" every time someone is honest about issues of race.

---

Show me where this happened. Show me where someone was being "honest" about a race issue as opposed to being overtly racist and just hoping that people would either agree with their sentiment and not notice altogether.

Yes, there are many differences between races. There are also more than enough similarities amongst all of us as humans. I recognize that. I am very capable of having an intellectually honest discussion of race and race relations. I don't see where I've demonstrated to the contrary.

quote:

---

Until all are free to express an honest opinion without fear of reprisal, until we have an honest give and take on issues that divide us and we put the good of all above political agendas progress will not be made.

---

Once again, what "reprisal?" Are people who express your views being jailed? Blackballed out of jobs or political influence? Deported? Executed?

You're not some poor, downtrodden freedom fighter. You're an outmoded, narrow-minded crank who doesn't like some smartass disagreeing with him over an anonymous SEC Football forum. Cut the "woe is me" bullshite.
