Man punched at Red Line stop

[GONNAFISTYA]

Have you people forgotten that I'm black and regularly read through these forums? Point is, you wouldn't know what I look like based on what I write and douchebags punching old people are douchebags regardless of whether they're [LOL RACISM] or rednecks or chavs. I'm all for a little racist rub every now and then, but I think this thread is getting a little excessive.

P.S. You're all a cracker bunch of wiggers and you know it.

Calm the fuck down, Randy.

Didn't bother watching it but doesn't seem like I missed anything.

@obs

you didn't seem too bothered by the mexican slurs aimed at peenyuh, or feedbag's rampant sinophobia, not to mention the endless stream of what-to-an-outsider-would-sound-homophobic jokes. furthermore, if the stupid bullshit in the OP was perpetrated by cletus'n'billy-bob we'd now be wailing on whisky tango trailer park rednecks

nobody's forgotten that you're black, brosephine. you however seem to have forgotten that nobody here is really racist

(apart from SoM. pretty sure he's a goose-stepping nazi-lover, not sure though)

[obsidian]

Maybe you should read my post again and realize that I didn't say anyone here is really racist (well, except SoM and Feedback) and that I'm perfectly fine with the occasional racist jibe when it's directed specifically at someone here. While I'm not a fan of generalizations such as the case here, you'll notice that my post was lightly basted in sarcasm, but had I known you would also be visiting this party, I would have invited Captain Obvious to play Pictionary so that he could draw you a picture.

Calm the fuck down, Reggie.

Fixed.

He smacked his head on the floor pretty good. That prolly caused more harm than the girly punch.

Possibly, but he was KO'd before he hit the ground as a result of the "girly punch".

[Whiskey 7]

Have you people forgotten that I'm black and .................

Are you

They recon one learns something new every day* and I did today.

obsidian I never would have guessed and honestly don't care as to your colour/religion etc. I am just glad to have you on board & that we share the planet mate

per topic, I do draw the line at senseless violence or those that force their beliefs upon others, pushy religious cults down to slick sales persons.

*Yes the icon was the clue and the nick a dead giveaway but.

[Tsakali]

Look, I am truly sorry I couldn't understand their language

me neither

on the plus side, their burning need to see that shaniqua and tyrese and the whole fucking world hears about this via youtube means the cops probably did too

lol that's the first thing I thought about it. Hopefully this guy either gets knocked out himself or gets some legal repercussions.

[Tsakali]

lol obsidian, don't be mad that black american culture raises complete trash bro. not one nigger in that train had even half a look of concern or disapproval on what just had gone down. That's how sweeping generalizations can hold water. It's just easier and more accurate to generalize because 8/10 times a black man proves himself to be a nigger. Don't be mad at the crackers, be mad at your shitty, clueless, abortion you call a culture. Looks like you're the minority in your "block" but unfortunately the burden to prove your worth as a member of normal society, rests on your shoulders alone. Kinda feel sorry for you really.

[Tsakali]

lol the irony of your action.

[obsidian]

Nearly incomprehensible stuff.

Sounds like you're trying to justify racism, are you really that stupid? Much of the troubles that face black culture in North America stems from generations of racism and oppression and breaking that cycle becomes a catch-22 when they aren't given equal access to education and job opportunities. While not entirely unique to blacks, it's certainly true for all North Americans who live below the poverty line, it's just that all blacks in North America have had to start from below that line and have to work their way up. It's awfully hard sending your kids to college when you are still wondering how you're going to put food on the table. Black culture isn't born by black people, it was created as a result of white America locking blacks in at a disadvantage for generations. It's only since the civil rights movement that blacks have been able to even think of breaking that cycle.

Seriously?

[xer0s]

lol, shit's got real

[Psyche911]

So, I really don't want to vouch for racism but I've had some experiences that I don't even talk about because I'm afraid I'll come off sounding racist which I honestly do not believe I am.

However, it's the internet and somewhat along the lines of this "discussion" so what the hell.

While growing up there were two occasions where I was attacked by a group of people. It wasn't anything too severe, a few bruises no broken bones or anything. I did nothing to prompt these attacks, they were just kids I went to school with who decided to act out on me.

Both of the groups were black kids.

Again, I did nothing to prompt them. I have honestly never in my life said the "n word" to anybody or any other derogatory language. I grew up in an extremely liberal area (Berkeley, California) and really my only exposure to racist talk was when visiting some family we had in Texas, so in fact that train of thought was always very foreign and shocking to me.

I've known some amazing black people, I've had them as bosses, friends. However, between my personal experiences and other things I've seen (shit like the video posted, but in person), it really gets hard not to generalize.

If you are the victim in random attacks, is it really wrong to generalize? Is it not just a self defense mechanism? (If I got mauled by a lion I would probably not want to be around them anymore.)

Yeah, I know people of every race, sex, and gender are assholes. Most days I feel the majority of people are assholes in fact.

I'm just curious as to how other people would interpret these experiences.

[EtUL]

ignore their skin color and compare alll the other facts (culture, social placement, class, neighboorhood), and the reevaluate what happened?

I understand where you are coming from for sure, but you shouldn't confuse a few instances with a pattern. I'm sure, in certain areas, there are a lot of assaults by black teens on people. Where I'm from, it's exclusively white teens (cause there aren't any black people).

My point is, people are people, and to class them on skin color is wrong. You'll be much more accurate classing them on wealth and social standing, it's not coincidence that black people fall on the low end of both of those in America.

For fucks sake, the civil rights movement was in the 60s, it wasn't till the 80s that interracial marriage was ruled legal, but still people in my family like to look down on black people with the usual bootstrap argument..pathetic...

ignoring ever oppurtunity and opened door for them....

sounds like tzatzikalakis lightly basted his post in sarcasm

it's a art

That argument held a lot more weight before you guys had a black president, btw.

[feedback]

yeah racism is over already

[Plan B]

tsakali, don't be a fucking idiot.
If all the actors in this little altercation were whities, race wouldn't even play a role.

yeah racism is over already

Shut it, you fucking jew

All this racism coming out in this thread is making me as nervous as a Jew in a shower

yeah, but obama isn't black the way jesse jackson (for example) is black. obama is non-threatening black. obama is 'not gonna make you feel guilty about slavery' black. obama is 'can be bought by the corporate sector just like every white president' black
