This is one of those forwarded email you recieve,, it doesnt matter if it happened or not.. but it is different..

i thought racism was over in this world. i see no point in it.

that was the right thing to do (move the man and not the women (oh god not in a sexist way))

classic , now that would be a kodak moment to see that womans face.

thats good stuff

im not against Racism im not saying im racist but Racism i think is part of what you believe in and its your right to free speech Black people take racism over the top sometimes like if they dont get something there way they always say " youll do that for a white person but now for a black man" many black people say that and onto ther other hand of racism how come we say " you F***** black B*sted"   we can get sued for that but then if a black man says to a white man "you F***** white B*sted" why dont they get sued. My point is im not against racism i think you can express your self anyway.

We are all inherently racist. It is in our nature.



joelm your point on sueing is most inaccurate. Any individual can inititae legal action within the Civil Law System for anything they like. A white man has every right to sue for damages under anti-discrimination legeslation"if a black man says to a white man "you F***** white B*sted" The same applies for the opposite situation. However like any legal complaint, going to court is one thing, recieveing damages by proving loss is another.

On the freedom of speech issue, i suggest you read Mary McAleese's speech "In the defense of freedom". (She is the President of Ireland)  In the speech she raises the issue of how far is too far, and what limits should be on the freedom of speech to maintain social cohension and harmony.

ROFL that women should be kicked
good email though

Very good.

It's horrible that racism is still present in many countries...

I don't know about racism, all I know is I barely see these days.

In my school, black people tell us "Just cause your white!" if we did something bad and got in trouble, but that isn't racism, it's simply a joke.

But, I haven't heared anyone say they are "black" or refer to them by the nword.  I think we can't really do it for them because they were victims, we weren't.

Anyhow, I have alot of black friends and i'm cool with that, they're great guys.

ive been discriminated against heaps of times in many contexts and it pisses me off. there is a reason why it is against the law. it hurts and there is a difference between expressing your opinion and being a dickface. most of the time people are being dickfaces. 99% of the time i mean.

I had to read the end a couple times to get it...... I'm racist a lot of the time.... but only around some people.... We have illegal mexican immigrants that come up here... they don't speak english, most don't have drivers lisences (and drive anyways), one time they're car got on fire at a gas station, they pushed it down the road about 300 yards, then down a hill toward a lake, and it got stuck by hitting the boardwalk.

What I'm trying to say is... I'm racist for a reason.... I have black, hispanic, any ethnic origin friend... But the ones that do stupid shit like that, I'm racist against.

That is one of the best things that I have ever read, I would do that if I was the hostess, the old woman is a bitch.

Pwned Bitch. People shouldn't stand for racism in today's world...the hostess did the right thing.

is that true or what...?

anyways yeah good story...racism pisses me off

lol, she got owned
i dont get why people dislike others just because of the colour of their skin, its stupid.

Everyone is raciest. Like the saying "Birds of a feather, flock together."  To many people confuse being raciest with bigotry.

I recently saw a very good movie about racism/bigotry called "Crash".  It REALLY makes you think about the whole subject, and how & why people sometimes act that way.  I suggest all of you view it.  It is rated "R" though, just for language.

oh that film looks really good...i want to see it not at the cinems i dont like seeing dramas at the cinema there not much of a buzz involved...

but anyway the film whats the actual story something to do with a car crash and all these poeple are blaming each other or something...

funny story

you are rascist against mexicans , qgroessl?

I'm not a racist, i only dislike "certain" individuals..

I am 100% against racism, i thin racism in any shape or form is sad whether you like certain individuals from a certain race or not is beside the point, there is still no need to discriminate against the race as a whole. e.g. the kind of things you hear these days are "All N*ggers are thugs" and "All P*kis eat curry and are terrorists" e.t.c... In every religion, race or culture you will get a few individuals that do bad things, but that does not mean that the race or religion does that as a whole. I've been called a paki so many times it's got to the point where i don't really care and i jus say "Yea i am, what's your point?" People try to make out how racism is almost gone.. but really it's still there but they're trying to hide it.

I belive that in my case where my granny lives she gets hit and spat on by indian people and this just goes to show that half of the time people think that we are the racist ones when alot of the time its is them that a rasict to us in their country they refere to each other as "paki" but thats okay for them to say it to each other but when we say it to them they think of it as rasicm...when you say you are rasict to someone you need to think carefully wether they are or not because they may have resons for why they feel uncomfortable around people with coloured skin. I personally belive that i am not a rasict and i dont hate all coloured people but i do not like what they do to us as well as what we do to them. Nobody is perfect no matter how good you are

I am not racist thats all i have to say . Although I have been insulted because im a jew

Yes..its your mentality. The way you look at things and how other people/factors influence you.

I was a racist (You cannot call its racism..but a kind) until I was 15 yrs old I hated Pakistanis. Just because they fought war with us, the history, and particularly the propaganda by the politicians and particularly because India kept losing to Pakistan in cricket

But When finally some light came into my head, I realized they were just human beings like us

I dont hate all coloured people just the ones that have done harm to me or my family i have lots of coloured freinds. And i get on just as well with them ad i do with white people theres no difference to me just personallity

I recently saw a Louis Theroux documentary on racism in USA. Gwad, stupid ppl.

racism will never stop, its continuous, you will always have those idiots that just dont care abotu what other people think or feel. like seriously, what kind of heart does that south african white idiot guy have by feeding a black man to lions?

Yeah, used to be just blacks and asians who were victims of racism mostly... but where i live (Birmingham, Uk) its now cool to in the "D Ghetto" and be mixed race/black, more racism against whites here. People will never learn, its almost like this poem i got forwarded...

A BLACK MAN WALKS INTO A CAFE EARLY ONE MORNING AND NOTICES HE'S THE ONLY ONE THERE

AS HE SAT DOWN HE NOTICED A WHITE MAN SAT BEHIND HIM, THE WHITE MAN SAID "COLOURED PEOPLE ARN'T ALLOWED IN HERE" .

THE BLACK MAN REPLIED...

"WHEN I WAS BORN I WAS BLACK

WHEN I GREW UP I WAS BLACK

WHEN I'M SICK I'M BLACK

WHEN I GO IN THE SUN I'M BLACK

WHEN I'M COLD I'M BLACK

AND WHEN I DIE I'M BLACK.

BUT YOU SIR...

WHEN YOU WERE BORN YOU WERE PINK

WHEN YOUR'E SICK YOUR'E GREEN

WHEN YOU STAY IN THE SUN YOUR'E RED

WHEN YOUR'E COLD YOU TURN BLUE

AND WHEN YOU DIE YOU TURN "PURPLE."

"AND YET YOU HAVE THE NERVE TO CALL ME COLOURED"

THE BLACK MAN TURNED BACK AROUND AND THE WHITE MAN WALKED AWAY.

Youd think in 2005, people would have changed, fortunatly 99% of people i know these days arnt racist..

Grrr... Well what do you expect, us white people are too damn full of
our selves we can't see that everyone for who they are, whether their
white black native or japanese.

people are full of themselves now, though all this is better than it was back in the days, jews got sent to camps of death, black people into slavery, japanese into camps aswell

Here is the reason we have racism. Don't laugh at this or be bias because you're so 'anti-racism'. If a bunch of people with BRIGHT GREEN skin suddently appeared from an island in antartica, PEOPLE WOULD BE GOD DAMN SCARED OF THEM. Same for when black people came to america. (Note this means black people would be just as scared of white people, but thats beside the point atm since it was black people who came to america after it was mostly clamed by white people)
