Okay, before I say anything else I want you to know that I am in no point here saying that any race is better than the other, in fact this thread is against racism. Anyway I've been watching Making the Band 4 and the coreographer picks on the white kid basicly saying he's acting white and that its wrong. I usually just forget about such things but it really ticked me off and made me think. I've noticed that modern society is creating an image of being white or "acting white" to be wrong. Think about this. If a person makes obvious and open racist remarks to a white person then its O.K and funny. But if a white person makes even the most simple statement, it could turn into racism against a black person. I've heard of a white people getting charged for racism for calling a black person Black. Imagine if the woman from Making the Band was white and that the kid she makes fun of is black. If she said that the black kid was acting black and that it was wrong, then it would be INTERNATIONAL news. It'll be covered on CNN and other channels discusing how racist it is ( it is racist but the point is that the white person's racial respect is ignored.). Yet if the person was white it would be completely ignored... does anyone else think that this is just wrong? Again, I am NOT saying that any race is better than another, merely that I think that white people are being discriminated in modern society. What are your thoughts on this matter?

Racism is never right no matter who is causing it, but I have seen the show so I can't say.

Unless that kid has some skin disease, he has no choice but to be white.

You can't act white. You're either white or you aren't. I'm not white, so, technically, I can't act white. Blame them goddamn pigments.

You can't technically discriminate against a race, you're discriminating against a culture which has a perceived color.

There's a difference.

Well its not specificly THAT that pissed me off its when I thought about it in a larger scale. Do you honestly think that a white person could get away with saying that its wrong to be black? No, but it works the other way around.

Well I have seen a few people act like gangsta thugs and someone said stop acting black. But the thing is that isn't what it means to be black just like being a nerd isn't what it means to be white.

I've always wondered what would happen if someone made a WET (white entertainment channel)channel. Would it be considered racist? Theres a BET, but no one consideres that to be racist, its just accepted as normal. Or what if a college said it was proud to be historically white, would that be racist? If so, why can others say that they're proud to be historically black?

And just so you know... I'm against racism, I just don't like how if one group does something it's thought to be racist, while if another does something its ok

Yes, I agree with what your saying but if you want to know why society is like this today. Its because of Slavery and Segregation in American History because of that. Society has accepted this. I guess its sorta pay back.

I've wondered the same thing and YES I think it would be considered racist. Cause its obviously okay for a BET to exist but having a WET immediately means " RACISM!!!!111!!!!".

Well BET is created to appeal to black people all on one channel(I think the channel has gotten a little embarassing). Also it wouldn't make sense to make a Wet because most other shows on differentchannels have programing that appeals to white people.

There is discrimination toward whites in almost every aspect of our society in America, it's just very subtle. They have tried so hard to make amends with minorities that they've goneover the line.

Unless that kid has some skin disease, he has no choice but to be white.

You can't act white. You're either white or you aren't. I'm not white, so, technically, I can't act white. Blame them goddamn pigments.

Thats not the point of this thread, its the fact that I think that white people are being discriminated against.

Well can you giveus more detail of how he was acting.

Well he was dancing badly and she claimed he was acting white...

He's not acting white, he is white.

I guess you failed to notice that I said that SHE said he was acting white, not me.

Maybe she's color blind.

I don't think color blindness is racism.

If your gonna act stupid ( which I know you arnt ) then just get off the thread.

I'm not acting stupid, I'm making a point.

If she's telling the man that he's acting "white", what the big deal? I mean, it's not racism, it's a stereotype. Can white people dance? Probably a percentage, yes, but that's no different than the stereotype that all Asian people are smart and all Black people look the same.

What's the point in caring? Doube standards are bad, but what's even worse is that you don't realize that everybody makes fun of other races. It's not just white people, it's blacks, asians, hispanics, everybody. That's just how life is. Hatred, love, war, with just a pinch of egg and sperm to help it all move along.

Who is at right to define was is racism and what isn't?

[QUOTE="leegar88"][QUOTE="Srbanator"][QUOTE="RPG10080"]

I've always wondered what would happen if someone made a WET (white entertainment channel)channel. Would it be considered racist? Theres a BET, but no one consideres that to be racist, its just accepted as normal. Or what if a college said it was proud to be historically white, would that be racist? If so, why can others say that they're proud to be historically black?

And just so you know... I'm against racism, I just don't like how if one group does something it's thought to be racist, while if another does something its ok

RPG10080

I've wondered the same thing and YES I think it would be considered racist. Cause its obviously okay for a BET to exist but having a WET immediately means " RACISM!!!!111!!!!".

Well BET is created to appeal to black people all on one channel(I think the channel has gotten a little embarassing). Also it wouldn't make sense to make a Wet because most other shows on differentchannels have programing that appeals to white people.

I'm not saying they should, I was just saying "what if''? And, how would sociaty react to it?

Hmm well I don't know for sure it might just depend on the shows.

I don't believe whites would bother making a "WET" when they already own BET and a lot of whatever else you see on television. It wouldn't be worth the time or trouble I'm sure it'd cause. Also there's a general consensus, apparently, of how to entertain black people.This is why there is a BET, not because what whites watch and are entertained by is different, but what blacks are entertained by and watch is different. That's probably why you'd here "why is there a BET" more than you would "why not make a WET" when the subject matter pops up.

So is Racism against Asians, Hispanics, and Blacks. Racism isn't everywhere, unless you take it upon yourself to perceive something as Racism. If you do that, even a crack in the cement is Racism, if you're willing to make it.

Now, there's obvious racism, subtle racism, and something that just isn't racism, and the latter is most likely the case in all instances of racism. Other times, in more common situations, it's not racism at fault, but a mocking of a certain culture in which a certain race is dominant, like the Hip-Hop Culture. The second you start acting like a rapper, you're black. You think it, everyone does. Why? Why not Asian? Is it because they're all smart? It's generalizing based off different CULTURES. CULTURE is the key word, not race.

There's always somebody that needs something to cry about, and that's what racisim is, a something. Trust me, there will be a day when everything will be Terrible. Telling another person their butt smells will be considered just as bad as stabbing someone.

Freedom of expression and freedom of opinion is something that will never work. We don't have it, we've never had it. They tell us everything we are allowed to express. They tell us which opinions are acceptable. It's an illusion.

Whatever, it's all BS. As Dave Chappelle would say" You gotta love this racism. It's killin me." A lawyer will find anyway to make money.A americancan be sued for anything. It all depends on how much money & assetsyou have and howstupid the judge is. If you're wealthy someone would sue you for calling them a douche bag. Doesn't qualify as slander but to some people everything is slander.

The nextisms you will hear of will be physiquism, beautyism & vanityism.

Whatever.. just don't say anything and you won't need to worry. You're free to think whatever you want. That isuntil they figure out how to read minds.

OK first off I call bull crap on the "racism is prevalent because of slavery and segregation" claims. Racism has been around since the Neanderthals and it will always be around until a black hole sucks the earth and the universe into oblivion. I see blacks hating blacks all the time. Jamaicans are historically hateful of Haitians, Venezuelans tend to hate every other Latin race in South America. America at one point hated the Irish and Scots. Asians are historically racist of everyone, even of Asians mixed with other nationalities.

The only people I see saying "Stop acting white" are the ones who have failed at life. Why wouldn't a white person want to "act" like a white person? What're they supposed to be? Gangsta? Anti-gringo? I don't think so. I never tell a black person to "stop acting black." I might suggest don't act like a thug gangsta but I'll tell that to anybody who acts like that.

I guess what I am trying to say is to accept it exists, deal with it, and don't preach to bigots. Because it will NEVER go away.

I agree, it's not like slavery caused people to exclaim "EGADS, YOU'RE NOT WHITE!!" It doesn't matter what it is there will always be bigotry. We will always be different. Not only by pigmentation, but by accent, height, weight, intelligence, religion, opinion orwhatever. There's always a reason to discriminate and someone to discriminate. It's just the way people are. Hate, discontent, inexplicable dislike,jealousy, insecurity, ignorance and intoleranceare the typical motives.

Okay, before I say anything else I want you to know that I am in no point here saying that any race is better than the other, in fact this thread is against racism. Anyway I've been watching Making the Band 4 and the coreographer picks on the white kid basicly saying he's acting white and that its wrong. I usually just forget about such things but it really ticked me off and made me think. I've noticed that modern society is creating an image of being white or "acting white" to be wrong. Think about this. If a person makes obvious and open racist remarks to a white person then its O.K and funny. But if a white person makes even the most simple statement, it could turn into racism against a black person. I've heard of a white people getting charged for racism for calling a black person Black. Imagine if the woman from Making the Band was white and that the kid she makes fun of is black. If she said that the black kid was acting black and that it was wrong, then it would be INTERNATIONAL news. It'll be covered on CNN and other channels discusing how racist it is ( it is racist but the point is that the white person's racial respect is ignored.). Yet if the person was white it would be completely ignored... does anyone else think that this is just wrong? Again, I am NOT saying that any race is better than another, merely that I think that white people are being discriminated in modern society. What are your thoughts on this matter?Srbanator

Modern society doesn't think that "acting white" is wrong.

1) I am black.

2) When I was 10 years old, I'd constantly get beaten up because I acted too white.

3) The beatings gradually stopped as I got older and my peers started becoming more mature.

4) Kids are idiots.

5) Most of that pre-processed pop poop is targetted at kids. And idiots. Because if that crappy music is targetted at kids, and kids are idiots, then that kind of music is targetted at idiots.

6) Solution: stop dealing with idiots and you don't have a problem. Modern society has nothing to do with it. Do you think that the average professional and successful adult gives a flying **** how white or black they look? They might be making $500,000 a year, but they love fried chicken and watermelon. So they're going to buy fried chicken and watermelon, regardless of their skin colour. And if you don't like it, too bad. You can keep on tewlling me that I'm acting too white or too black if it makes you feel better, but I'm still going to end the day by going to sleep on a mattress that's stuffed with $100 bills.
