Since when are black people a "community"? Having slightly similar skin colour doesn't mean you have anything in common with someone. Otherwise I'd have a lot in common with Vladimir Putin, Adolf Hitler, and Paris Hilton, and Clarence Thomas would be best mates with Mike Tyson and 50 cent.
Skin colour means nothing except to people who think it means something. Someone's skin colour is about as relevant as their hair colour, their foot size, their taste in music, or what sports team they support - except to the extent that bigots make it relevant, and the victims of such feel the need to group based on that same categorisation due to their discriminatory treatment. Irish rock singer Phil Lynott said he never even knew he was "black" until he left Dublin. That's the difference between a tolerant culture, and a fucked up steaming cesspit of bigotry like Europe, USA etc. All you guys from either side going on about race are still seeing the world in skin colour first, everything else second. That isn't how you get to a world where people are judged on individual character and merit. You do that by taking someone for who they are, not for some imagined group you think they represent.
Racial thinking is basically the same as Marxism - nonsensical groupthink that views people as nothing more than numbers in a homogenous classified mass. If you make $20k a year you must be working class and unite with the oppressed masses. If you make $200k you are an evil boss who must be taken down. If your skin is a bit dark you are like this, if it's white or yellow or whatever you are like that. I find it remarkable, given the history of the founding of the USA, that anyone calling themselves an American can have this point of view.
Yes. We all know how tolerant the Irish Catholics are of the Protestant Brits and vica versa. The IRA was nothing more than a glorified street gang....
mike or whoever you are
, pabst is the result of his environment. most white america feels as he does; maybe not as passionately, but the same nonetheless. you feel some of what pabst feels and emotionally it bothers you. the problem is, statistics and your life experiences bring you back to his conclusion , even as it disgusts you.Ahh it is not as if I need to really make any good arguments to highlight your lack of intelligence. Because instead of refuting my comments you choose to challenge me to a fight and claim how your manliness is measured by being able to kick the shit out of people. Truly the act of a refined gentlemen and not a racist as I pictured.... I do not need to fight you to prove a point because I (although I am a minority) can use my brains to make my point. I know it surprises you to talk with a non-white instead of them trying to fight you but the is a whole big world outside your trailer park Ezekial
I grew up in New York City (public schools- mixed at all grades) but notice how I have not tried to pass of my small experience as EXPERTISE like you do. I do not use my experiences to lay a stereotype across a whole class of people. Actually it does not matter if I grew up in all _______ ( fill in the race) neighborhood. Intelligence dictates that you do not make ignorant ass backwards statements like yours.
Your experience only lets you comment on the people you ran across, not the whole race of people you claim to know. You criticize the libs in D.C. or wherever but you talk down about the minorities just as much as you claim they do.
Face it, you are angry spouting some ignorant shit while justifying it because you grew up in this neighborhood or that. And then to prove your intelligence you resort to the "Hey I can kick your ass!"
Your words speak so clearly of your feelings and intelligence.

Ahh and now the "Many people feel the same way so it is right" argument....
Funny how people always claim environment to justify their beliefs. Envvironment shapes beleifs for sure, but humans have been blessed with independent though to rationalize and think logically. Remember that my comments are that one's environment is never a justification for casting aspersions over a whole entire race. Remember Pabst's comments on Blacks is not limited to those in the United States.
If you feel the need to come to his degense then maybe it bothers you more.
My apologies. I was totally out of line.
I can kick your as in an I.Q. test too though.
Mandlebrot: We'd be in a tie. Somehow I tested 141. I'm certain I lose around 2pts a year.........
I agree, racism is racism no matter which side it is coming from and it will never be eliminated or eradicated because people always fight along racial, ethnic and religious lines since the beginning of time. It is a sad truth of the human species. We all have biases that we absorb as we grow up and many hopefully apply rational thought to see through those biases and stereotypes and treat each other equally.
But that is utopian and bullshit and not gonna happen in our lifetimes or in our grandchildren's lifetimes. I can only do what I can do in my own sphere of influence and hope enough people try to do the same to make a drop of difference at a minimum.
Yo se que es un sueno, pero ojala...
Well there's a big difference, because "Cubans" is a categorisation based on upbringing in one country/culture. Logically speaking, people from the same culture/country are going to have a tendency to share some of the main traits from that culture. "Black" on the other hand is not based on country or culture, it is based purely on skin colour. A black woman born and brought up in Stockholm, Sweden is gonna have a pretty different set of views and behaviours to some black dude from Jamaica or Nigeria, don't you think? Same as there are big differences in culture between Spain and Columbia, Japan and China etc.
Skin colour alone is no basis whatsoever for any kind of perpetual category judgement, because it is not inherently linked to behaviour. Country of origin has some links to behaviour, so does culture, because you learn the traits of people you associate with. That's the difference.
