inter-racial relationships

Wait... I simply stated, "I was referring to the Kantian view of it being an ethical duty to respect other rational beings..."

"Central to Kant's ethical theory is the claim that all persons are owed respect just because they are persons, that is, free rational beings. To be a person is to have a status and worth that is unlike that of any other kind of being: it is to be an end in itself with dignity."

No offense, man... but don't you think you're trying to wax philosophical a bit too much here? It's bordering dangerously on pretentious. Just sayin'.

After the movie discussion and the below, you are calling me pretentious, ha? You brought up a philosophical discussion of ethics, so: yes, waxing philosophical is precisely what I thought we were doing. Apologies if our talk got the ruffles of your lapel out of place! ;)

I guess by ethics, I was referring to the Kantian view of it being an ethical duty to respect other rational beings... not that anyone on this board is rational! But I suppose one can be an ethical person without being a moral one, because ethical implies conformity to some code of fair/honest behavior, while moral refers to generally accepted standards of rightness.

So yeah... morality.
 
Says the man who brought up "Kantian Ethics"! Oh, the irony. :D

Oh, you mean my explanation after you decided to subtly critique the word choice in an... Anchorman post??? The only irony in this thread is me posting a Ron Burgundy jest with the word ethics in it.

I was joking - no critique involved. For somebody who complains about pompous language you are too high-strung, my friend. Breathe easy! :lol:

Mullet... there's one thing you should know about me... I'm ALWAYS clownin'! This forum is a stress-release for me. If it made me uptight, I'd have to give it up like I did the priesthood... oh, and cocaine.
 
I just insist on discussing on the basis of mutual respect without resorting to name-calling. I neither want to be referred to as a wimp, nor do I wish that my comment be classified as bull****. If you cannot argue on other terms, just ignore my posts. That simple!



I am not sure who feels entitled to your wealth. I still insist I cannot even remotely judge any culture without a thorough understanding of that cultural context. I am unaware of any automatic mechanism that defines any culture as selfish, greedy, and racist, simply because you suspect individuals in that cultural space feel entitled to your wealth!

1. They want MY money that I worked for. They didn't earn it.

2. They blame every problem in their lives on the rich, and racism.

What more do you need to define it as such?
 
Who exactly are 'they'?

The f*cking culture. Who do you think? I hate when people say that **** when they know exactly who I'm talking about. "They!" "Them!" "Those people!" - Anyone who falls into that ideology is grouped in "they." White, Black, Red, Yellow, Brown, mother-fuggin Indigo! It doesn't matter.

THIS Is the face of T911. A pissed off IC!!!

:lol:

wo wo there Bloodnut - you dont want to blow an O-ring :lol:

I thought you had someone or a group you were specifically ranting about.



. . . carry on soldier :drillsergeant:
 
Theres only one group Im really biased against. The blacks. Thats a no fly zone but besides that I dont really care. I dont care for ghetto people either, but thats not race exclusive. Seems like most act black though. Im brown actually and pretty much exclusively date white girls. Im "whitewashed" myself though. Many girls went from calling me beaner and not saying anything to me to then calling me daddy. It was funny when I met my best friend from high schools rural family. When I walked up they made a joke about how I actually had shoes on (like most mexicans dont) and by the end of the night, they were asking me to thanksgiving. I maintain racism is mostly cultural but I outright dont find any black girls attractive, regardless of personality or anything. Personally, I dont mind when Im racially biased against much. I think racism is such a minor problem and would rather focus on the problems that matter, its insane how much energy we spend on it. Call me a racist or criticize me all you want, I dont really care.
 
'Really' could have been interchangeable with 'actually' there. Even if it wasnt, get over it. Its such a small thing. Its no worse than being really against fat people or hell, even cripples or something.

What world do you live in where thats a shocking statement? Get out from under a rock recently?
 
Now, I want to understand this completely. Is it purely because of the color of their skin, or is it the individuals with the ghetto mentality that is often associated, but not at all specific to, blacks?
 
...and that's pretty bad if you're a cripple-hater. That's in no way the same thing as being a racist. That's just wrong in more ways than one. Like, wtf?

Bit of both. 25/75 maybe? Skin to culture? I mean, I was boxing and I was the only non black in the gym. I was friends with the kids, wed joke around, do whatever. They were good kids. Doesnt mean Id love spending all my time hanging out with them or want them marrying my daughter.

Can I call you a douche bag? Sounds classier... 'cause it's like French or something.

Ooolala. Bay area bammer's words hurt.

...and that's pretty bad if you're a cripple-hater. That's in no way the same thing as being a racist. That's just wrong in more ways than one. Like, wtf?

Im not, it was an example. Its being biased against a group of people based on a physical trait, one they often cant change. I guess I dont care much about racism one way or the other. People will always be biased. When you want to be different and maintain different cultures, there will always be bias between the two...or even an alure in say, Iron Lungz case with his wife being black (if I can read right, maybe mixed up). Iron, its not personal, its your choice. Im not saying your wife is a bad person or anything, just not my cup of tea.
 
What? I was being playful. I assumed we both thought the other was a douche. You're sooooo uptight, TT.

I was being playful as well. Maybe youre the uptight one. You and your damn chaps. Im not taking this thread very seriously because frankly, I dont take racism very seriously.

Is this the last thing you saw coming? A "super racist ignorant POS" posting and not apologizing or eating his words?

Well, maybe I was being playful when I said that you were uptight after telling you that I was being playful. Yeah... uh-huh... what now?

And since I'm being so playful, here's a vid of me and my homies reacting when you said you're biased against blacks...

Maybe I was planning ahead and sheerly posting in this thread to get you going and just being playful. Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

I used that gif on another board actually. Some dude posted a pic of himself after talking a lot of **** to the lifters there and yeah. Perfection.
 
No, is it somewhere you'd recommend?

From the sound of things, you would like the donkey show there. Its kinda a local tourist attraction I understand, cant say I try to spend time around the border, especially on the Mexican side. If you can make it between cartel kidnappings and gun battles. I think they said 1500 have been killed there this year alone.

Donkey shows and gun battles . . sounds like a Mexican version of Bangkok :mischievous:

The kids you boxed with were good kids you were friends with, joked around with, and did whatever with. Yet, you disliked or hated them, because of their skin colour! Furthermore, as a matter of principle, you actually a priori dislike or hate people because of the colour of their skin (black) irrespective of the content of their character! This is one of the most absurd, irrational, and nauseating comments I have ever read! Were you in a position to choose your own skin colour? Were you in a position to choose your grandparents? Sickening!

This thread grew an IQ of 275 and a bit later the effervescent beauty of witty repartee and evocative debate was cut short by the glass knife of semi-racial bias to the cerebral stem.
Even Achilles had his heel.

Carry on fellas, I would input something relevant and informative, but my intellect is dwarfish compared to those of the current participants and I cut those classes.

I wonder if Singapore is nice this time of year.

I dont take racism very seriously. you sure are opinionated for claiming not to take something seriously.

i can't speak for rubber, but last thing i saw coming? not really, people like you are a dime a dozen, it's when someone is not like you i don't see it coming. being closed-minded and for that matter small minded is an attitude that's been around for generations and is something that is usually taught by ones parents. i would hope of your childrens sake it is not passed once again from generation to generation.

but however i will admit i am prejudiced myself. i am not a fan of illegal aliens in this country, never will be either. i am not saying people from other countries, thats fine if your here legally, i'm speaking of illegally. but hate someone or not like them because of their skin color, which is something btw, they could not help, is petty. i do not write this to try and change your mind and do not thinki can either, nor do i think i can open your eyes, i write this to voice my opinion, just like you have done here as well.
 
There's only two things I hate in this world. People who are intolerant of other people's cultures and the dutch

What? Take the fahza away! Dutch hater! And now, it is time to say goodbye. Dr. DRSE's orders. Which, for you, is bad news bears,
 
When you want to be different and maintain different cultures, there will always be bias between the two

Although in general the rest of what you said kind of sucks, this is entirely true. In effect by maintaining your own culture as special regardless of what it is you have a more positive bias towards people of your own cultural group. And I feel its totally ok to dislike someone solely for appearance reason that they choose, but not for appearance reasons they can't choose.

Often, ha? I must be forgetting the small contingent of African-Americans known as the "Speckled Texas Blacks" that spontaneously change their color to white when frightened. Anyway, I do know what you are saying - it is kind of like me disliking you because of your obvious mental handicap. Which, given that you are a Texan, is something you, "...often cant change". (Ten points for irony!)

Do you get out much? Do you need a tissue? Grow up.

This goes to you and everyone in here. You can berate me all you want. You are all biased against certain groups for certain reasons. Whether they are things they cant change or not is irrelevant. How hypocritical is it to berate me while you have those biases. Grow up, all of you. I posted, was honest and stopped a racial lovefest with an honest statement of my beliefs. If you cant get past that and want to toss around petty insults, grow up.

Youre in love with yourself. Take your one man circle jerk elsewhere.

Its petty to get in a huff and throw a ****fit like all of you are doing now. The irony of all this hate coming my way for being honest is youre being intolerant yourselves. Go ahead, freak out about it. I dont lobby for racial supremacy or violence, I just dont like them. Thats all. You, and everyone else can assume Im dumb, small minded, whatever. Its incomprehensible to you maybe, but likewise, its the same way to me. Id say youre just naive, a product of a society where living has just gotten too easy. Racism is actually getting much worse than it was. The funny part is this wasnt passed on from my parents. It was only later in life, around my junior year of high school I realized I just didnt like them.

You dont want racism anymore, stop trying to be different. Otherwise you have a fractured society full of groups that will dislike each other and everything will crumble or be hampered to a slow crawl. Sound familiar? You think if black people were also into bluegrass, there would be as much hate in rural areas?

Also, I dont see how somehow its magically different if they can change the biased against feature or ideal. Its the same bias with the same consequences if its strong enough. You cant have your cake and eat it too, feeling justified because they can change! Muslims and Christians fought the crusades for how long because of something they can change?

Spot the redneck!

He must be behind the guys with the anarchy tattoos, sagging pants and corona. Yeah, real redneckish. I give your attempt a D-.

If you think bias is limited to low income white trash, you are hilariously mistaken. Hell, you can bet all those country clubbers in New England who give countless dollars to Africa would die if their daughter dated a black guy.

Do you honestly think you are clever somehow? That was really one of the stupidest posts Ive seen in a while. Its like being at a stand up comedy club and seeing a guy whose just not funny at all.

Texsucks. :p

Hilarious. Quality post. Will read again.




Im not going to respond to anything else in this thread.

Irony is not your friend, Titan. Reading your posts is like listening to a guy whose ability to speak got stuck in his ass, and who's a complete moron. See that italics action? Now that's clever.

....

If anyone here still has some growing up to do, that would be you. You appear to be in a deep identity crisis with convoluted reference points. As far as I can see, your crisis is self-reinforcing!
 
Well, I will tell you this TexasTitan, if you feel that you can enter the kingdom of God with hate for other MAN, then you are mistaken. I know lots of texans that are Christian, and God is love. There are many so called Christians that feel it is okay to have double standards, but not in God's eyes, I will leave it at there and let you think about that one. God bless and hopefully you come to a realization as all who do not understand.
