45% (18)Black Entertainment Television is fine, but as soon as White Entertainment Television shows up, someone would cry, "No, racism!" A Black Student Union or Asian Student Untion can go on without a hitch, but if someone were to try and start a White Student Union (not that it could even happen), you're a member of the KKK. Black people could get away with calling white people "honkie" and "cracker", no one would care. A white person saying a racist term is a horrible offense.
Screw double standards.

Yep, the world at its best.
|
Yeah, this is something that's always irked me too -- it's a total double-standard. We should start an all white awards show or something and see what happens.
| |
I've been taking honkie back for the white man. Turning it around and using it as a positive term.
You should try it, honkie. | |
Yes, I hate double standards too. Heck, remember that article I showed you about some stupid guy claimed black hole is racist?
| |
Watch Die Hard 3, that'll settle any question as to whether other people can be racist.
| |
I think its because when it comes to history, white people have been the generic race, thats why white people think black jokes are funny. If black people were your standard race, I'm sure there'd be a White Entertainment Television. Kind of like them getting back at the dominant race after all this time. I don't see the big problem with it, if someones called you a racist you probably are, if you think BET is racist, you're probably retarded.
| |
Oh and the BET awards aren't for black people only, eminem won some award there, its based on genre.
| |
No, I don't think BET is racist. I think the fact that something like WET would be called racist is racist.
[Edit] The whole reason I posted this was because, earlier in Chatters, someone got on the topic of student unions in their school. They stated how a White Student Union wasn't allowed. | |
Do something about it.

Well...only thing I can say to why no one really cares about it..(to my knowledge) is because I guess the blacks get another 100-300 years on us before they can't do it anymore? 0.o

Further more, what makes you think anyone currently living had a slave? | |
How long do natives get for wounded knee holocaust, After that I will consider them not racists.

This is an ironic post, right, Fizz? :P
| |
You're forgetting that white Jews can't be racist either.
Only white Catholics/Atheists can be racist. | |
Dude, you obviously dont go to my school.. You hear the N word every once and awhile. Sometimes a black will step up and say that's not nice however usually they dont care(enless they just plain o'l dont like you, then they will jump down your throat). Heck, 2 years ago me and a friend of mine drew a picture of a monkey sitting on a rocking chair on a portch. It was good stuff. We went around the school showing everyone. Last year I would say a joke and it would open and close with one sentence, "There was this white man, chinease man, and a nigger walking down the streat." I think alot of blacks are beginning to realize it's all in good fun. If we offend you so much then stop saying "nigga"... It's that dang simple.. Elsewise since you complain about being opressed 70 years ago or so, don't try to turn around and do the same to me. You've got it easier then me now so let me do whatever I want and don't try to pull some double standard crap on me... ALSO!!! I almost forgot... I made 2 different KKK shaped hats last year ^_^... And another type I started hitting my friend with this thing saying, "BOY!!! What you think you doin tryin to reads? BACK TO THE FIELDS!" A.K.A. whipping a slave for trying to read.... Sure what happened was horrible and we all feel bad. But letting it bother you just lets it control you...
