Why is racism/saying things against caucasians and Christians not looked down on

no one respects anyone anymore especially this place when it comes to religions.

I agree with this. Some people think it's okay to poke fun at majorities. I don't know why. :?

I don't think so, maybe decades ago, but not really anymore.

I honestly couldn't tell you, it's a mystery to me as well.

[QUOTE="peaceoutmedusa"][QUOTE="Penguinchow"] I think his point is that if someone says something racist about black folks everyone has a fit, but not so with white folks. And if someone says Christians are stupid nobody cares, but if someone said Muslims are stupid there'd be a problem.Snipes_2

There are plenty of racist black people who hate white people.

"there isnt a lot of racial slurs that can be used against whites (that they generally dont accept)".

I don't accept any of the things I was called while living in a primarily black neighborhood for 3 years. I didn't appreciate being threatened and told that I didn't belong whenever I went to buy a Diet Coke at my local grocery store either.

The double-standards surrounding racism in the U.S. are unreal.

It's called a double standard. Get used to it.

First of all, you haven't been paying attention if you never noticed a backlash against people for talking about Christianity negatively. It doesn't happen often though, because the vast majority of people here (in the west, which is obviously where you are basing all this) ARE in fact Christian. So one hate filled person here isn't gonna slam another based on religion, because more than likely they BOTH consider themselves Christian. As for the "you can say anything you want against white people" thing that everyone always brings up when someone gets mad at something racist a white person says against another race, I would need examples.TBoogy

^This. It's just one of the many double standards of life, shrug it off and move on.

Really why? Because their the majority? Thats no reason to make it aceptable. If you say something against the white race, thats racism. Saying something against Christianity is just like making fun of any other religion.Rusty_Ripper

White people certainly aren't the majority. Hell, 1/4 (or something like that) of the world'spopulation is in China alone.

We also can't forget - Whites were the ones who tried to reign supreme as the 'superior race' while every other ethnicity was merely fighting for equality.

[QUOTE="clayron"][QUOTE="peaceoutmedusa"] 1st of all, black people generally arent the racist people. And sorry to say, but there isnt a lot of racial slurs that can be used against whites (that they generally dont accept). And that is generally why if we ever say something about white people, we usually dont mean it as "I hate you because you are different than me", while that term is usually when whites do it. Hatred is always worse/more evil than jokes, remember that.peaceoutmedusa

Really? Thats really weird.

As a Black Christian I think I can speak from experience. Segregation happened due to racism? Yes. Is that the only form of racism known to man? Hell no. Unfortunately, racism and religious intolerance come in several shapes & sizes. From today's black comedians telling jokes about the often talked about "lack of common sense of whites" and clearly biased "black community leaders" to Christians who, some time ago, descrating the temples and sacred locations that honored greek/roman/egyptian gods.

Honestly, in my experiences, white people always exhibit the most racism and utilize the most insulting vocabulary. Calling someone white trash, while by no means is a good thing, is less insulting than say calling someone an uncivilized animal.waitaseck

This is sooo wrong. Black people are just as racist as everyone else. Christians are just as religiously intolerant as everyone else.clayron

I grow up in a black christian family in the US and I'll tell you right now that Blacks are some of the most racist people you can meet. However they get away with it because of the past and because they generally lack the power to negatively affect another group on a whole.

Christians are greatly intolerant not only to other religions but even within themselves. Put a devote Catholic, Seventh Day Adventist, Baptist, and Jehovah Witness in the same room and see what happens.

All people need to relation take a step back and see how foolish biased hatred is. Hating someone you've never meet makes no sense.

Plus if you get to know most people you can find lots of reasons to hate them for who they are on the inside. JK ;)

[QUOTE="peaceoutmedusa"] That has to be one of the most ridiculous things that I have ever read. Segregation back in the fifties did not happen because "whites were mis treated". And racism is usually something that is passed down, so your logic is clearly flawed. peaceoutmedusa

What I meant was that racism is generally hatred. That is its main purpose.

You tried your little joke, but it failed.

Because apparently Caucasians are evil and deserve to be discriminated against.

[spoiler] The above statement is a joke, and is not to be taken seriously to any extent. [/spoiler]

[QUOTE="RushKing"][QUOTE="peaceoutmedusa"] I think some were referring to when a comedian impersonates a white person or something. But that is clearly not that offensive, since most white people love that type of jokes themselves. We on the other hand, have been compared to wild animals, and I dont think hardly any white person has been reffered to as an animal by a black person before in their life.peaceoutmedusa

[QUOTE="clayron"][QUOTE="peaceoutmedusa"] White racism (which is usually true racism) is usually comparing an african american to a wild animal and to the dirt on the ground (which is the lowest of lows) , and is expressed usually as hate, and those type of people usually wont have a beer with you after they make the joke about you. They want you dead. peaceoutmedusa
