Though there are examples of how racism is changing, there are just as many reminders that we still have a lot of die hard racist b*******ards in our midsts, who just can seem to "get over it".

Take this story of the continuous hate and bigotry that Serena Williams has had to endure throughout her stellar career. Which only serves to make each and every one of her victories a celebration of triumph over adversity... on AND off the court:

Why aren't any of you clowns complaining about Australia?
Are you are specifically referring to racist remarks towards The Williams sisters at the Australian Open tennis match? Because the topic title of this thread does not mention Australia?

Perhaps because most of us "clowns" aren't in Australia? Apparently neither are you but since you seem to be an expert on the subject why don't you tell us all about it:rolleyes:
Where can you buy a golliwog doll? Not in the US.

You fools all whine and cry like the US has the market cornered on racial issues. Fact is you just won't let it die, looking for racism in every burp and fart. You lump people in groups instead of seeing the value of individuals.

Content of character means less to you than color of skin, sexual preferences, religious beliefs, etc. Damn hypocrites perpetuating problems through projections of your own bigotry.

That's all.

No one claims that racism doesn't exist elsewhere but since this thread is all about racism in the US it's only logical that we discuss it. I guess it's just a shame as far as you're concerned that small minds can't use derogatory terms for other races or homosexuals without being seen as what they are. If this thread really hurts you then no one is forcing you to be a part of it. You invited yourself in so I guess you also know the way out.

Frankly, Storm, I think he's full of SHIT. In one sentence he suggests that the racism like that reported in the Serena Williams article I posted is something that exists because it's (according to him) conjured up by people who "won't let it die", then he compounds that piece of absolute bullshit by suggesting that those who call it out know nothing of "content of character" and are projecting our "own bigotry". A pile of ass-shovable HORSESHIT if ever there was.

Too bad the people who've been calling Ms. Williams all kinds of racist names throughout her illustrious career neither KNOW a thing about nor GIVE a f***king care about "content of character", eh??

So I think we KNOW who's the "damn hypocrite" here.

Did it hurt when you fell from the ivory tower?

No, you fool, but nice try in veiling an accusation of racism as well. Typical hack tactic. If you can't tolerate or debate opposing viewpoints, perhaps the politics section is too grown up for you.

A person here or there says some stupid crap (racist or not) and tools like you paint an entire nation (or all white people) as racists instead of examining those particular cases as individuals.

That's why you're a hypocrite along with BC.

You don't see individuals or judge them as such.

Perhaps this isn't the place for you seeing as how you act like a 5 year old with all the name calling. If you read an accusation of racism into what I wrote then perhaps it struck home with you because I was calling out those who've in the past decried what they call being too PC.
You came into this discussion of US problems and attempted to divert the topic to Australia.
Why? Was it because you have a problem admitting that their is a racial problem in the US? Judging from your previous declarations you'd just as rather we ignore the problem hoping it would go away.

Man up and cut the passive aggressive BS.

At the very beginning of this thread, there is a good post by Niet. Read it.

Unlike you I don't resort to name calling in this thread. I'm still waiting on you to say anything worthwhile and connected to this thread. So far all you've done is attempt to distract and divert that is when not complaining about the problem being mentioned.

Welcome to the jungle, my friend. You are a quick study.
