Sociopath Community

My opinion on the 400 years of enslavement is. When do you let it go ? When do the young black parents decide to stop teaching racism to there children ? I was not taught to be racist. The enviorment around me and the television taught me racism.

I blame music and television for teaching kids shit they don't need to know yet. They will experience this stuff on there own. R&B music is fine. Its that rap hard rapshit and videos. That are influceing the kids. There enviorment will have huge implactions on the rest of there life.

So kill all white people is your answer, you said a eye for a eye ? The people today had nothing to do with slavery. Do you think the germans are proud of hitler ?

So, you're blaming the entertainment industry for turning you into a racist? Are you serious...

You and I are very close to the same age and unlike you, I was raised in a partially racist family, yet I'm not racist at all. I personally think racism is narrow-minded. There are intelligent and stupid people in all colors. And if the blacks want to whine about their past, I just think that's their problem, not mine. So, why concern myself with it. If the issue was directed at me personally, then it would be dealt with personally.

By the way, what I mean by partially racist is my mother seems to have an issue with black people. She doesn't like them for some reason. She doesn't hate them either. She just doesn't care to associate with them.

"They're at the top of the world"

This humors me. Most people in America would disagree with you. America has its strengths such as military and a great overall quality in living conditions.  But our culture is becoming disgusting, people have gotten used to a materialistic world but, aren't willing to work for it. A significant amount of the poor in America are there because they chose to do so. You'd think having the freedom to pursue happiness would be a beautiful thing, but it's disheartening to see what people actually do with this opportunity that others would kill for. 

People here(or at least the ones I talk to) view the EU as superior and often make suggestions to be more like Europe. 

 

I think the grass is always greener on the other side has some kind of effect here. With that being said, I've been to America numerous times to visit my father's family, and I've always loved it. There's just so much to see and do. The country is huge. You guys have states the size of my country. That's hard to really grasp. 

No. Life in general has made me what I am. TV didn't have a lot to do with it but some. Tv is full of racism, you can't help but to be influenced in some way.

Racism is such bullshit.

I have italian origins and Italians used to be treated like shit in the early 20th century (Sacco and Vanzetti anyone?).

It's not the case anymore but there's still strong prejudices against Italian-Americans (or Italian-Whatever).

We're not all in the fucking mafia (though for some reason it would be fitting for a sociopath). But I don't consider myself as an italian person, I don't even speak the language.

So I can understand the plight of African-Americans because they got the shitty end of the stick.

The problem is violence begets violence and I think that's why most convicts in the US are black men.

But think about this: just go to Europe and that's a completely different story. European black people are not in the same shitty position as their american brethren are.

In Europe most delinquents are North-Africans or Middle Easterner. And it's a pretty safe bet that for them, in their own countries, a different ethnic group would be responsible for the criminality.

That said, one thing I fucking hate is religion and people tend to confuse religion and ethnicity. Muslims are assholes (as are Christians I'm not discriminating there) but not all Muslims are Arabs.

I am going to share a story with all of you, one that has been passed down in my family.

 Down my family tree, my distant relative was a slave on a plantation in Georgia. He was at a point in his life where he didn't care whether he died or not. His two children had by sold off as well as his wife to white men. In a place of such anger, pain and suffering family is what kept him going and now that was gone. For a while he was depressed and even suicidal without his family to keep his sanity he looked for the bible. As a child it was passed down to him that the bible contained all the answers and keys to lifes problems.  He was beaten senseless for his curiosity many times but he still preserved, he had to.

One day, he managed to steal a bible from the white church. He rushed back to his sleeping quarters ecstatic.  Finally, all would be answered and he would at last find salvation and his family. That's when he realized you had to read the bible.  He expected God to speak to him, he was wrong. It destroyed him knowing he had everything he ever wanted but could do nothing with it. All the answers to his family were right there and it might as well be miles away.

Eventually, one of the plantation masters found out he stole that book. My relative fled north keeping that bible with him the 3 years it took for him to reach Canada. He never found his family and it haunted him until he died.

Your probably wondering how someone could know all of this about such a distant relative. He wrote his story himself. That bible has been passed down for generations now. It shows the strength of my bloodline. 

Back to the point: Not too many Caucasians understand or can even relate to their family being enslaved. They don't understand why it's such a sensitive topic because their people weren't on the short end of that stick. I don't go around holding a grudge against white people,  but when I see the same senseless bigotry that sold off my distant relatives and forced my ancestors into a life of back breaking labor in todays world, it ignites old flames. 

I have been in this situation before talking to people about racism, religon, and politics. There is never a winner. I am to hard headed and selfish to put my self in other peoples shoes to completley understand where they are comeing from. I tried to put my self in your shoes when I was reading your story. But because I know nothing of my own family history its hard for me to relate to you.

All I know is the here and now. What angers me and feeds my racism is the blacks racism towards the white man. If the blacks were able to let go of there past. I would be able to let go of the present. (here and now)

Most of the blacks where I work tend to group together on breaks and some of the white people will go sit by them and talk. But if you turn the table. And there is a grp of white people sitting together and a black person comes in the break room he will choose to go sit with his own kind.

I believe that blacks are much more racist than the white man is, and from a caucasion stand point. The only real racist white people I know of are the old white people, That generation is soon to die out. The only way this nation can heal from racism is to let the past stay in the past and move forward.

I should have worded my (niggers be gone) post differently. I was speaking out of anger that day.

As for you and me. We are just two avatars discussing racism.

It's common sense though that you can't generalize traits you dislike to all the members of that race... Do you at least admit that your racism is irrational and has emotional issues at its core?

It is what it is. Read my posts i'm not going to explain it again. If you are simple and dont understand then say so and I will break it down for you

I agree. gives slice of cheesecake
