Can racism be any more pathetic?

Wow, this guy is just pathetic. He just can't take the fact that white people are not always the best at some bullshit game. This failure of a man is trying to clutch at any straws which implicate any one else besides himself as the source of his failure. The guy is a pathetic excuse for a person, and thankfully The Daily Show got to show that to the world.

I love how he manages to

I love how he manages to advocate for affirmative action when he complains about more talented black kids pushing white kids off the high school team.

To Ken G.

Yes, I most closely identify as an Anarcho-Syndicalist, so the use of the C.N.T./F.A.I. flag from the Spanish Civil War was very much intentional. I'm happy that I'm not the only person who knows what the flag (and the history of it) is.

I love AKPress, they publish some amazing books, and it's always great when an organization advocating non-hierarchical democratic structures organizes itself as such. Z.net usually has some good stuff, but I haven't checked it out lately. Have you ever seen Freedom Press? It's the longest lived anarchist press (all volunteer run), running since 1886. It was started by a group of friends, including Peter Kropotkin, and has been running almost non-stop since. http://www.freedompress.org.uk/news/

Speaking of Anarcho-Syndicalism, I just can't resist!

"Listen. Strange women, lying in ponds, distributing swords is no basis for a system of government!"

BRILLIANT!

Don't feel pathetic...I feel more pathetic for being white and somehow, by proxy, being associated with that jerkoff in the video.

I am surprised he didn't actually say "reverse racism" or "reverse discrimination".  Usually douchebags like that throw those terms around.  I quietly remind them that "reverse racism" would be "not racist" and "reverse discrimination" would be "not discriminatory". 

Until people realize that racism is institutional, we have a long way to go in our nation with regards to race relations.

And I second your emoticon to the bigots in the world.

Bigotry...now THATS pathetic!

No reason for you to feel that way. At least you are good at basketball!

 

 

But seriously, I honestly don't understand racism. I was the only white kid on my street in my early childhood, and I didn't see a difference. I played with everyone else the same. It wasn't until I moved to a place without any diversity where I had the first big shocker...some random guy I didn't know pointed at a white girl and a black guy holding hands walking across campus. He told me "They should learn to keep to their own kind, goddamn niggers!" I felt suddenly like I was in the twilight zone. This random person came up to me, and because of my skin color assumed I would share his hatred of other people simply for being different. In 21st century America. I really had no idea what to respond with. I just kind of walked away in a daze and lack of comprehension. Many of my earliest friends were black, and I hadn't really seen any reason to consider someone's skin color as anything to separate people by. It just seemed like normal variations to me.

 

And this is when I began learning what it is like to live in the South where people voluntarily segregate themselves and their communities by race, and produce offspring who then hold these values that are taught to them. The Klan is alive and well here. And I am sad for it.

 

I would say the only thing for you to feel is pathetic is humanity for producing people like this. I know I am ashamed of it. 

 

At least we can laugh at him for not being taken seriously by most people. I'm pretty sure he is a one man walking facepalm joke.

Theism is why we can't have nice things.

The world must be a very frightening place to someone so terrified of brown people.

 

At least he can rest easy beneath his sheets where they can't get to him. Nice, clean white sheets.

By the way clock, I have wanted to tell you that your sig should read "Theism is why we can't have nice things - but they can"

If you saw the church with the huge solid gold looking spire by my house you would get it. The churches do follow Jesus's teachings so closely after all..yea.

BTW racism is on both ends,

BTW racism is on both ends, but the media only really shows it from one side. I'm sure you have seen this vid but I'll post it anywayl. There is a written transcript of what they were saying, and there is a followup interview w/ the 67 year old guy. The comments on the vid on youtube are pretty disgusting though. The old man was actually a decent example I think but the comments on youtube make a huge showing of how racism is still rampant.

Oh, there is violence so, if you are squeamish don't watch it.

Questions for thought:Is an

Questions for thought:

Is an all female baskeball league, sexist?

Would a league only allowing players under 6 feet tall be pathetic?

Is a college that only admits people of African decent be racist? Would a whites only college located in Nigeria be racist? Located in USA?

1) I wouldn't consider an all female league sexist as it's filling a gap which until it's creation was left unfilled. The gap of professional female participation in the sport was unfilled until the WNBA.

2) Only if people under 6 feet tall were fully represented in the regular league AND they were able to participate to the fullest would it be pathetic. Check out this site to see that short players are able to compete in the regular league, so a league for them exclusively isn't necessary. http://smith.mn/nbashort/

3) If people of African decent had access to all the opportunities white people have been historically afforded, an exclusive college wouldn't be necessary, but historically that's not been the case. All black colleges in the U.S. have, until relatively recently, been the only places where dark skinned people were able to get an education, so they have been very necessary and not at all racist. If, on the other hand, black people had been the ones in a privileged social position for this whole time instead of whites, then yes, it would be racist.

If white people in Nigeria were unable to get the same educational opportunities as blacks there due to institutional racism, then it would be perfectly reasonable for them to start their own school so they would have access to the same opportunities. Without a history of under representation in higher education though, there is no need for them to create an exclusive school. If there is a history of under representation in higher education due to institutionalized racism, then an exclusive school would be necessary if and only if a battle for school integration was incapable of achieving it's goals at that time.

I hope I explained your questions, EXC.

BI66ER, i've switched back to my old fourth national avatar just for your benefit!

my personal favorite publishers are pathfinder and haymarket.  verso is good too, but sometimes the stuff they publish is abstract to the point of opacity (e.g., slavoj zizek).  plus i've been waiting for them to publish marx's civil war in france with an introduction by alain badiou for 2 fucking years, and they keep saying it's forthcoming.  perhaps there must be a problem with monsieur badiou, because i'm pretty sure all of marx's stuff is in the public domain.

 

"I have never felt comfortable around people who talk about their feelings for Jesus, or any other deity for that matter, because they are usually none too bright. . . . Or maybe 'stupid' is a better way of saying it; but I have never seen much point in getting heavy with either stupid people or Jesus freaks, just as long as they don't bother me. In a world as weird and cruel as this one we have made for ourselves, I figure anybody who can find peace and personal happiness without ripping off somebody else deserves to be left alone. They will not inherit the earth, but then neither will I. . . . And I have learned to live, as it were, with the idea that I will never find peace and happiness, either. But as long as I know there's a pretty good chance I can get my hands on either one of them every once in a while, I do the best I can between high spots."

Racial and sexist Bias is

Racial and sexist Bias is intolerable... I reserve my bias for the hygenically deficiant...

 

Although I *have* been accused of being a racist ...It has become the liberal McCarthy-ism... accusations need not have any validity, rather the damage is done upon the claim being made...

I read the transcript, I still don't know what I saw.  I think I would need to see the video starting 60 seconds before to make a judgement.

All that aside, Christ, don't fuck with that old dude.  Must have been a beast when he was younger.

Everything makes more sense now that I've stopped believing.
