So what you're saying is that because more black people are in prison than whites, you consider it okay to call them monkeys and/or porch monkeys. Good to know you're extremely racist. It's NOT okay and crime has nothing to do with this racist tweet. If this isn't what you're saying, please explain what monkey "stereotype" you're saying is justified because some commit crimes. Also, explain now some people committing crimes means this stereotype is true about all black people. You do realize most people are not criminals right?If the image and accompanying text is so harmful and offensive, why do they keep showing it everywhere?
And if blacks did not like the stereotype, why do such a disproportionate number of young black men continue to participate in a lifestyle of crime, such as the ridiculous and numerous flash mobs that continue to be buried by the media? Even if they are offended, people certainly understand what is being said by such comparisons, even if they don't want to admit there is some truth to it.
All this outrage over tweets when there is very little outrage or even any knowledge of the knockout game phenomenom is so topsy turvey.
They're wearing home despot shirts, they're employees. The guy taking the picture probably fed them some bullshit line.I'm kind of curious what the two black guys were thinking at the time. When they saw a guy with an ape mask sitting next to them.
First guy: This won't go well.
Second guy: I wonder how long it will take before people will notice the huge wrong here?
What I'm saying is that when a group is 13% of the population but commits half of all violent crime, the last thing I am worried about is insensitive stereotypes against them.So what you're saying is that because more black people are in prison than whites, you consider it okay to call them monkeys and/or porch monkeys.
I don't see how this is a "stereotype". Your equating black people to criminals is a stereotype. Calling them monkeys is not.What I'm saying is that when a group is 13% of the population but commits half of all violent crime, the last thing I am worried about is insensitive stereotypes against them.
Took you this long to realize this?Good to know you're extremely racist.
^Then this is what we here call an Uncle Tom. Great example of this! And an Uncle Tom who has little capacity of contextualizing the banal observations he makes.What I am saying is that when black mobs rip off multiple Sports Authority stores, taking entire racks of clothing out the doors, the stereotype fits.
It should be noted that 51% of all Americans habor explicit prejudice against blacks. The majority of both Republicans and Democrats harbor implicit anti-black opinions, including myself.
Though people who consider themselves liberal, progressive or Democrat may talk a good game, they harbor prejudices that determine where they live, work and send their children to school. All of these implicit prejudices are informed by the conscious knowledge of black crime rates and the state of black neighborhoods. In other words, stereotypes about young black male criminality that they may deny exist, but know in their heart are based in truth. The anecdotal accounts, including video, are backed up by raw statistics.
The funny thing about my personal opinion is that my bloodline goes back to Mexico, so all that emotional bullshit that plays on white European guilt doesn't work on me, and that's why I don't care about racist tweets.
I take it that this is some sort of insult, but what exactly does it mean, and how does it fit as a response to my post?Shorter egopud.
